Benefits of technology

[0011]Preferably, the scoring unit and display screen are housed within a housing. In some embodiments, the housing is formed of a relatively rigid material. In other embodiments, one or more components of the housing is formed of a flexible material, thereby to facilitate in accommodating movement of a player, in use. In some embodiments, the housing is formed as a one-piece unit. In other forms, the housings are formed of a modular construction, with two or more housing components being connectable to each other to form the housing. It will be

Embodiment Construction

[0036]The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to devices configured to enable scorekeeping for activities including bat and / or racquet-based sports. Embodiments will be described by reference to a device configured specifically for use in tennis. However, it will be appreciated that the same device is equally applicable to other sports (such as squash, cricket, and so on), for example by way of modification of control logic and / or a display screen.

[0037]FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate a device 100 according to one embodiment. Device 100 is formed of two primary components: a mounting unit 101 formed of a resilient material, and a scoring unit 102, wherein the control unit is mounted in a rigid housing.

[0038]Scoring unit 102 includes a display screen 103 (in this embodiment being a low-power multi-digit segmented numerical LCD display), and one or more physical inputs (in the illustrated embodiment including two incrementor buttons 104a and 104b, and a “reset” button 105)...

Abstract

This invention relates to a device configured to enable scorekeeping during a competitive activity. The device includes a scoring unit with a display screen. One or more physical inputs are provided to received input signals indicative of a change to the score. A logic unit configured to modify data displayed on the display screen based on: (i) signals from the one or more physical units; and (ii) predefined scoring logic. A mounting unit having a primary aperture configured to facilitate secure mounting of the mounting member to an object, a secondary aperture configured to receive the scoring unit.

Description

STATEMENT OF RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is filed as a national phase utility application, claiming priority to a foreign-filed application under 35 U.S.C. § 371. The application claims priority to Australian Appl. No. 2017 / 904839 entitled “A Device Configured To Enable Scorekeeping For Activities Including Bat And / Or Racquet-Based Sports.”FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a device configured to enable scorekeeping for activities including bat and / or racquet-based sports. Embodiments have been particularly developed as a convenient means for tennis players to keep track of scores.BACKGROUND[0003]Any discussion of the background art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.[0004]Scorekeeping in competitive sports is often facilitated by an umpire / referee, and / or additional non-player participants (such as a scorekeeper). It ...
