Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system including an image projector according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus and the dart game system including the image projector may include: a sensing unit sensing hitting of a thrown dart pin; a dart target allowing the dart pin to be received; a display area formed to surround an exterior of the dart target, provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus, and receiving an image projected from an image projector to output a variable screen; an image projector projecting the image toward the display area; and a controller controlling operations of the dart game apparatus.

The invention relates to dartboard games, where projectiles are thrown at a target. The face of the dartboard has a realistic, lifelike image of a game animal, and the higher scoring regions correlate to the kill zone of the game animal's anatomy. Lower scoring regions correlate to the rest of the body of the game animal, and penalty scoring regions may be present, scoring negative points. Players try to land their darts in certain scoring regions in order to score the most points, depending upon the rules of the game. Rules are provided for a 300 point and 21 point game. If the images are printed on the dartboard, the darts may be thrown or launched with an apparatus like a mini-bow or blow-gun. If the images are projected, the darts may be virtual.

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system with an illumination unit. The dart game apparatus includes: a dart target having a plurality of score areas; a sensing unit sensing a hit location of a dart pin in the dart target; a display area formed to surround an exterior of the dart target, provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus, and disposed to output a variable screen to a location adjacent to at least a part of an outline of the dart target; a target illumination unit irradiating light to the dart target or a periphery of the dart target; and a controller controlling the target illumination unit.

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system with a display unit according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus and the dart game system with the display unit include: a dart target having a plurality of score areas; a sensing unit sensing a hit location of a dart pin in the dart target; a display unit formed to surround an exterior of the dart target, provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus, and outputting a variable screen; and a controller controlling the display unit at least partially based on the hit location of the dart pin in the dart target.

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system providing a lesson image according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus includes: a dart target having a plurality of score areas; a sensing unit sensing hitting of a dart pin with respect to the dart target; a foot pressure information obtaining unit obtaining foot pressure information which is information on pressure applied by a foot of a dart game user when the dart game user throws the dart pin; a throwing guide information generation unit generating throwing guide information for the dart game user based on the foot pressure information; a lesson image generation unit generating a lesson image based on the throwing guide information; and a display area provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus and outputting the generated lesson image.

A disclosed hanging target may include a hanging bracket and a plurality of suspension lines coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging target may also include a plurality of target holders. A destructible target may be disposed above and carried by a target holder allowing a portion of each suspension line to extend outward around the destructible target. When the destructible target is destroyed by a projectile that hits the destructible target, the portion of each suspension line may rebound to the generally vertical orientation.

A system for scoring darts that includes multiple cameras placed substantially parallel to the surface of a dartboard. With a field of view extending across the board, the cameras can be configured to capture images of darts projecting outwardly from the board as they are thrown, and the system can use this image data to calculate the location of each dart, and the corresponding score. Various algorithms may be used to orient the system and calibrate the system to account for irregularities in the images captured by the cameras to accurately determine the location. Proper scoring may be achieved for a variety of dartboards with different patterns of scoring regions based on game rules and corresponding board configurations maintained by the system.

A camera unit is configured to be mounted adjacent a dartboard. The camera unit comprises a primary camera and a secondary camera supported by a support frame. The primary camera captures a darts player using the dartboard and the secondary camera captures a play surface of the dartboard. The camera unit further comprises a wireless interface module arranged to wirelessly transmit image data captured by the cameras, and/or derived data, such as a determination that a dart has been thrown, a determination that a foul throw has occurred, or a score associated with a dart that has struck the dartboard.

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.

An archery arrow trajectory evaluation device, that is suspended from above by a pair of cords. Holds a paper roll above a framed structure. The paper feeds down in between the front and back frame. Frames are held together with hollow screws and nuts in each corner. Each nut is adjustable allowing the user to tighten the front and back frame together to hold the paper taut on four sides, but still allowing the paper to pass through from the top of the frame down through to the bottom. Once the paper is held securely between the frames an arrow may be shot through the center of the frames to determine the trajectory of the arrow. If the bow is tuned the arrow will pass through the paper and the tear left behind will be symmetrical. The tear will indicate to the user what adjustments are needed.
