Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a dart game system. The dart game system includes a dart game device, multiple external facilities, and a control unit configured to control the dart game device and the multiple external facilities. The dart game device includes a dart target having a plurality of point regions, a sensing unit configured to sense a hit to the dart target by a dart, a light source unit configured to output light, and a sound source unit configured to output sound. The multiple external facilities includes additional light source units configured to output additional light, and additional sound source units configured to output additional sound. The control unit is configured to control the light source units and the sound source units to output light or sound according to patterns, which depend on an occurrence of an event.

Claims (10)

1. A dart game system, comprising: a dart game device including a dart target having a plurality of point regions, a sensing unit sensing hitting by a dart, a light source unit, and a sound source unit; a plurality of facilities including light source units, and sound source units; and a control unit controlling the dart game device and the plurality of facilities, wherein the control unit controls patterns of a change in flickering schemes and colors of the light source units and patterns of sound effects of the sound source units, depending on occurrence of an event, wherein the dart game device further includes at least one of a plate, a structure disposed behind a player, a structure configuring an upper roof above the player, and a structure disposed on a side of the player, wherein the light source unit and the sound source unit are installed in a body of the dart game device, and in the at least one of the plate, the structure disposed behind the player, the structure configuring the upper roof above the player, and the structure disposed on the side of the player, and wherein the light source unit and the sound source unit are interlocked with each other depending on the occurrence of the event, and wherein, when some of the plurality of facilities are dart game devices, in the case where the event is hitting the dart target by the dart, and a dart hits a predetermined region of a dart target of one dart game device, corresponding regions of targets of different dart game devices are deactivated.

2. The dart game system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of facilities includes at least one of a dart game device, a throw line, a path, a pole, a wall, a table, and a chair.

3. The dart game system of claim 1 , wherein the event includes identification of the player, hitting the dart target by the dart, a change of the player, and game ending.

4. The dart game system of claim 2 , wherein, when one or more facilities among the plurality of facilities are dart game devices, in the case where darts hit dart targets simultaneously or at a predetermined time interval in the dart game devices, only a light pattern and a pattern of sound effect corresponding to a predetermined priority are executed through the light source units and the sound source units.

5. The dart game system of claim 1 , wherein each of the dart game device and the plurality of facilities further includes a communication unit having a communication interface, and the dart game device and the plurality of facilities are capable of exchanging the patterns of the change in flickering schemes and colors of the light source units and the patterns of the sound effects of the sound source units by using the communication units.

6. The dart game system of claim 1 , wherein, when some of the plurality of facilities are dart game devices, the dart game devices are capable of playing a dart game with each other.

7. The dart game system of claim 6 , wherein each of the dart game devices includes a communication unit having a communication interface, and wherein the dart game devices are capable of playing the dart game with each other through the communication unit.

8. The dart game system of claim 1 , further comprising: a memory unit storing the patterns of the change in flickering schemes and colors of the light source units and the patterns of the sound effects of the sound source units depending on the occurrence of the event.

9. The dart game system of claim 8 , wherein the patterns are read from the memory unit and executed by the light source units and the sound source units.

10. The dart game system of claim 8 , wherein each of at least some of the dart game device and the plurality of facilities includes a communication unit having a communication interface.
