Beer pong gaming system and automatic scoring system for beer pong game
View Patent ↗The present disclosure provides a beer pong game system comprising a game table, a plurality of game cups, and at least one game ball, the game table being equipped with an RFID reader and a plurality of RFID antennas, the RFID antennas one-to-one corresponding to to-be-detected positions of the game cups; an electronic tag being affixed at a bottom of a game cup; an electronic tag being inlaid inside the game ball; the beer pong game system being characterized in comprising a make detecting unit that identifies, at predetermined to-be-detected positions of game balls, the electronic tags of the game balls by scanning corresponding RFID antennas, thereby determining a make result and prompting a first landing mode; and a cup-removal scoring unit that identifies, at to-be-detected positions of all game cups, electronic tags of the game cups by scanning all RFID antennas, thereby inferring a second landing mode and correspondingly scoring.
1. A beer pong game system comprising a game table, a plurality of game cups, and at least one game ball, the game table being equipped with an RFID reader and a plurality of RFID antennas, the plurality of RFID antennas being one-to-one correspondingly provided at a plurality of to-be-detected positions of the plurality of game cups; a first electronic tag being affixed at a bottom of each of the plurality of game cups; a second electronic tag being inlaid inside the at least one game ball; the beer pong game system being characterized by comprising:
a make detecting unit that identifies, at a predetermined to-be-detected position of the at least one game ball, the second electronic tag of the at least one game ball by scanning the plurality of RFID antennas, thereby determining a make result and prompting a first landing mode; and
a cup-removal scoring unit that identifies, at the plurality of to-be-detected positions of the plurality of game cups, the first electronic tags of the plurality of game cups by scanning the plurality of RFID antennas, thereby inferring a second landing mode and correspondingly scoring.
2. The beer pong game system according to claim 1 , wherein in a first round of a beer pong game, a plurality of predetermined game cups refer to all of the plurality of game cups; in a non-first-round of the beer pong game, the plurality of predetermined game cups refer to remaining game cups after a cup-removal operation in an immediately preceding round of game.
3. The beer pong game system according to claim 1 further comprising:
a cup-removal mode switching unit that causes the cup-removal scoring unit to switch between an automatic cup-removal mode and a manual cup-removal mode;
wherein in the automatic cup-removal mode, the cup-removal scoring unit requires a user to correspondingly perform a cup-removal operation according to the first landing mode prompted by the make detecting unit, and in the manual cup-removal mode, the cup-removal scoring unit allows the user to autonomously determine the cup-removal operation.
4. The beer pong game system according to claim 3 , wherein the make detecting unit prompts the first landing mode according to a make logic, and the cup-removal scoring unit infers the second landing mode according to a cup-removal logic.
5. The beer pong game system according to claim 1 , wherein in the case of inferring the second landing mode according to a cup-removal logic, the cup-removal scoring unit requires confirmation from the user; if the second landing mode cannot be inferred according to the cup-removal logic, the cup-removal scoring unit displays alarm information.
