A target system can detect the location of a projectile disposed within a target and subsequently alter an image being displayed on the target in response to the location of the detected projectile. The target system can include a sensor, an image source, a portable electronic device, and a computing device. The sensor can be positioned on the target to detect the location of the projectile on a face of the target. The image source can project an image onto the face of the target. The portable electronic device can receive input from a user to dictate the image(s) displayed on the target. The computing device can be communicatively coupled to the sensor, the image source, and the portable electronic device and cause the target system to detect the location of the projectile and subsequently alter the image displayed on the target in response to the location.

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a betting dart game. The betting dart game method is provided to induce an interest and tension of a user, thereby enhancing fun of a game.

[The present invention is] a dart game apparatus that provides a dart game in which one player successively throws n number of (n=3 or 4) darts D at a dart board 12, having: light sources LS that are disposed around the dart board 12 and emit lights L along the board face of the dart board 12; a plurality of photo-sensors S that are disposed around the dart board 12 at approximately the same height from the dart board 12 in the board thickness direction, and detect the brightness of the lights L emitted from the light sources LS; and a processor that calculates a hit position of a dart D in the dart board 12 based on the brightness of each light. A number of photo-sensors S is n×2.

There is provided a dart collecting device to easily collect darts from a dartboard, even from a relatively low position with respect to the dartboard. The dart collecting device includes: a pair of first gap forming portions that forms a first gap extending in the vertical direction so as to receive a tip of the dart from above at a first interval capable of preventing a barrel of a dart from passing; a pair of second gap forming portions that forms a second gap extending in the vertical direction so as to receive a barrel of a dart from above at a second interval wider than the first interval; a bottom portion that forms a lower end of the second gap; and a shaft that extends downward from the bottom portion. The first gap and the second gap are configured to capable of receiving a dart stuck into a dartboard and capable of stacking and holding a plurality of darts.

A throwing star target is provided, in which a throwing star easily sticks and which has excellent durability. A throwing star target 1 which holds a thrown throwing star 2 includes a board 10, and a plurality of pins 20 arranged on a target surface 10A of the board 10. Each of the plurality of pins 20 has a polygonal XY cross section, is formed to be tapered, and has flat surfaces 20U, 20V, and 20W which come into contact with a front side 2A or a back side 2B of the throwing star 2 that is in a state in which of being held.

An intelligent moving shooting target includes a shooting target base, a shooting target frame and a net rack. The shooting target base includes a driving base, a driven base and connecting tubes. Both ends of the connecting tubes are detachably connected with sidewalls of the driving base and the driven base. Lower ends of the driving base and the driven base are provided with wheels. A driving device is provided in the driving base. The driving device is connected with the wheels at the lower end of the driving base, and drives motion of the wheels at the lower end of the driving base. The shooting target frame is detachably mounted vertically on the shooting target base, and includes several horizontal tubes, vertical tubes, and connectors. The net rack is detachably mounted on the shooting target frame.

A dartboard structure and a method for manufacturing the dartboard structure are provided. The dartboard structure includes a dartboard body unit, a dartboard frame unit, a first sensor unit and a second sensor unit. The dartboard body unit has a plurality of score regions. The dartboard frame unit has a plurality of through openings that penetrate through the dartboard frame unit, and each of the through openings corresponds to one of the score regions. The second sensor unit and the first sensor unit are in an intersecting arrangement and have a predetermined gap therebetween. The first sensor unit and the second sensor unit surround a plurality of first sensing regions, and each of the first sensing regions corresponds to one of the score regions and one of the through openings.

A dart catching device for catching darts that fail to adhere to a dartboard includes a tray, which is mountable to a vertical surface upon which a dartboard is positioned. The tray is mounted below the dartboard and extends substantially perpendicularly from the vertical surface. The tray can catch a dart that is thrown at the dartboard, but which fails to adhere to the dartboard. The device can prevent damage to the dart that might occur should the dart drop to a horizontal surface beneath the dartboard.
