Abstract

An intelligent bid and score device for playing bridge is composed of a master unit consisting of microprocessor, erasable memory and two serial ports, 4 save units consisting of microprocessor, 24-key keyboard, display, sound device and serial port, and serial communication cables for connecting 4 slave units with master unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a card game, in particular to an intelligent bridge bidding and scoring device for bidding and scoring through keyboard input and automatically counting and printing the game results in bridge activities. Background technique [0002] At present, in addition to the novel network bridge game, bidding cards are usually used to bid in bridge sports, and manual scoring and calculation are performed. But there are many drawbacks in this method of bidding, scoring and counting points, which hinders the popularization and further development of the bridge movement. [0003] First look at the bidding of the bidding card method. Bidding cards are actually many small cards in a box, printed on the cards Waiting for 35 bids, Pass (indicating not calling), Alert (indicating warning), Stop (indicating that the player's next party is required to suspend) and other words, the player completes the bidding process by presenting a card.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although the bidding method has improved a lot than the original oral bidding and written bidding, it also has obvious defects: (1), it is unavoidable for the partners to use some kind of prior agreement in the bidding process. agree to cheat

(2), no timing function

There is a rule in the bridge rules that "no malicious delaying of time" is allowed, but the calling card method itself has no timing function, which makes the referee lack of basis for the penalty of "intentional delaying time", and it also gives opportunities for partners to use intentional delaying time to pass the time. Fraudulent Information Provides Conditions

(3), unable to "only remind the enemy but not the opponent (that is, the companion)"

Compared with the "bridge intelligent bidding machine", although only one display is used, the structure is simpler, but its disadvantages are also obvious: since the public display is placed flat in the center of the table, this makes players not only You have to tilt to see the content on the display screen, and you have to look backwards to see the bidding of the companion (the opponent), and its visual effect is poor; since the information on the display screen is visible to 4 people, it The function of "only reminding the enemy but not the opponent" cannot be realized; the device displays the bidding time in a countdown manner when bidding. Although the timing function is realized, the displayed time is visible to all four players. Yes, this provides conditions for partners to use the displayed time to transmit fraudulent information during the bidding process; in addition, 4 people share a display, which brings difficulties to the overall "screen" of the bridge game, while in regular games In general, the competition form of "interval" will be adopted.

In short, the above-mentioned solutions have not fundamentally solved the "three major defects" brought about by the way of calling cards, nor have they solved the problem of scoring and calculating points.
