Dart Game Video Capture for Selective Throw Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dart game recording methods transmit and store excessive data, leading to long verification times and inefficiencies in remote gameplay, as they record and transmit the entire dart game process rather than focusing on specific, relevant moments.
Innovation Solution
A dart game apparatus with a camera unit that records only specific parts of the game, such as the player and target, and a controller that initiates recording when the player is ready to throw and stops when the dart hits the target, reducing data storage and transmission burdens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the entire dart game is recorded and transmitted, then complete verification data is obtained, but data capacity becomes excessively large and transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and records only the critical moment when the dart contacts the target, rather than recording the entire game process. The controller identifies the specific time point of dart-target contact and records only that portion, thereby obtaining verification data while significantly reducing data capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification of the critical moment (dart-contact time) before recording. The controller detects when the dart hits the target and uses this information to selectively record only the relevant segment, preparing the verification data in advance without capturing unnecessary footage
2Reliability
If the entire dart game is recorded and transmitted, then complete verification data is obtained, but transmission time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
By extracting only the critical dart-contact moment from the full game recording, the patent dramatically reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted. This selective extraction maintains verification completeness while minimizing transmission time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by recording only the necessary portion of the game (the dart-contact moment) rather than the entire game. This partial recording approach is sufficient for verification purposes and eliminates unnecessary transmission time
3Quantity of substance
If only critical moments are recorded, then data capacity is reduced, but verification completeness may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual review of entire game footage with an automated detection system. The controller automatically identifies the dart-contact moment using sensors or image processing, ensuring that the critical verification moment is captured without human error or oversight
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from sensors or image analysis to detect when the dart contacts the target. This feedback mechanism ensures that the critical moment is accurately identified and recorded, maintaining verification completeness even with selective recording

AI summary
In order to achieve the object, disclosed is a dart game apparatus for recording a moving picture of a part during a dart game. The dart game apparatus includes: a camera unit for recording the dart game; a touch unit for sensing that a dart game player is ready for throwing a dart; and a controller for controlling the camera unit, wherein the controller allows the camera unit to start recording at the time when the touch unit senses that the dart game player is ready for throwing the dart.An object of the present invention is to store or transmit only small-capacity data by recording only a part of a dart game or selecting and storing or transmitting only a part of an image of an entire dart game to reduce a burden in storing and transmitting data and remarkably reduce a time for verifying the data.
