A thermal decoy system contains electro-resistive fabric which warms the air within a polymer envelope transmissive to infrared radiation. The thermal decoy system thereby produces a thermal signature comparable to that of a human, which will preemptively trigger passive-infrared sensors, thereby neutralizing such sensors' capability to detect nearby persons.

A modular darts system comprises a hub having a dartboard surface or a connector for weight-bearing connection to a dartboard, the hub further comprising a plurality of apertures, and a plurality of arms, the arms being configured to engage the plurality of apertures and to engage at least one ancillary dartboard component.

A suction dart target game system includes a throwing member with a central protrusion, and first and second throwing suction cups; and a target piece with a first target suction cup; such that the target piece is attached to a mounting structure, such that a user can throw the throwing member at the target piece from a distance, optionally such that the throwing member rotates in flight, such that either the first throwing suction cup or the second throwing suction cup attaches to the first or second target suction cup or to a surface area of the mounting structure adjacent to the target piece, if a throw is successful. Also disclosed is a suction dart target game method, including positioning a target piece, throwing a throwing member, and measuring a distance.

An electronic darting system, a processing method for an electronic darts game, and a dartboard device are provided. The electronic darting system includes a dartboard device, a tip unit, and an image providing device. The dartboard device includes a dartboard case, a plurality of induction circuits, and a control circuit. The dartboard case includes a board surface. The plurality of induction circuits are disposed on the board surface, and the plurality of induction circuits are intersecting with each other to form a plurality of induction areas of a plurality of target areas of the board surface. The image providing device provides a plurality of images onto the board surface of the dartboard case.

Provided is a dart game apparatus including: a body part forming an external appearance of a dart game apparatus; a target fixation plate provided in one area of a front surface of the body part; a dart target unit seated on the front surface of the target fixation plate; and a target cover unit formed to cover at least a part of the dart target unit, and fixed and coupled to the target fixation plate.

A magnetic dart game. Darts are formed with a strong magnet portion in the front instead of a metal point. The front of the darts includes an impact or an elastomeric impact stop, which absorbs the force from the dart hitting the board, facilitating the dart sticking on the board in the location where it hits. The board is also magnetic and includes a magnetic vinyl printed section that contains the game board or target, which is used to play the game. This target can be changed to play either the games provided with the product or those designed and printed by the consumer. The dart system is formed with magnetic legs which are removable and also a magnetic scorer, with a portion of the scorer that moves up and down on a paddle, thus enabling the score to be kept magnetically.

An online dart competition system including at least two mobile devices having a first and a second image capturing module, configured to capture an dart player image and a dartboard image, respectively; a mirror to reflect/redirect the dartboard image; a wireless transmission module, configured to transmit a score, the dart player image, and the dartboard image to the other mobile device and to receive a score, image, and a dartboard image of a competitor from the other mobile device; and a processor. The processor executes an application and displays the scores and at least two images of the dart player image, the dartboard image, the competitor image, and the competitor dartboard image on a display in a split-screen interface. Thus, the at least two images may be viewed by players during the online competition.

Disclosed is a computer program stored in a computer readable medium according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The computer program includes commands which cause a computer to execute steps and the steps include: judging hitting locations of one or more dart pins which stick in a dart target having a plurality of score areas; calculating hitting areas of the dart pin based on the judged hitting locations of the dart pins; and calculating scores based on the hitting areas and a predetermined logic.

A target apparatus including a post having a point on a first end, and an opposing second end; a plurality of support members, each having a first end connected to the second end of the post, and an opposing second end; and a central deflector having a point; and wherein each of the second ends of each of the plurality of support members is spaced apart from each of the other second ends of the plurality of support members; and wherein the central deflector is located within a perimeter defined by second ends of the plurality of support members. The target apparatus may further include a ring, which may be connected to the second ends of the plurality of support members.
