Information processing device, information processing method, and computer program
There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program capable of more reliably recognizing positions of a plurality of detection targets. The information processing device includes a control unit for recognizing positions of a first detection target and a second detection target that are present on the same surface. The control unit recognizes the position of the first detection target based on sensing data obtained by a first sensor for sensing the first detection target from a first direction, and recognizes the position of the second detection target based on sensing data obtained by a second sensor for sensing the second detection target from a direction opposite to the first direction across the same surface.
System and method for foosball table implementing playing obstacles
A foosball table system is disclosed that includes a playing surface, a plurality of walls extending upward relative to the playing surface, wherein a plurality of rods extend through a first sidewall of the playing surface through a second sidewall of the playing surface, a first goal on a first end wall of the playing surface, a second goal on a second end wall of the playing surface, the second end wall opposite the first end wall, a first and second set of user input controls, a processor and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor and having logic stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes performance of operations including receive user input from either of the first set of user input controls or the second set of user input controls, and modifying gameplay of a foosball game currently being played using the foosball table system.
TABLE-TOP SOCCER BOARD GAME AND METHOD OF GAMEPLAY
The present invention relates generally to games and, more particularly, to a table-top soccer board game using bottle caps and goalie playing pieces that each include a bottle opener. Methods of gameplay are also provided, along with a kit comprising the table-top soccer board game packaged along with instructions that provide the gameplay rules.
EASY FOLD LOCKING MECHANISMS
The present disclosure relates to a gaming-table support locking apparatus including a first hinge bar, a second hinge bar, and a tab connector. The first hinge bar is connected to a first bar of a gaming-table and includes a tab notch. The second hinge bar is connected to a second bar of a gaming-table, is rotatably connected to the first hinge bar, and includes a window. The tab connector includes a base, a locking section, and a release section. The base is configured to connect to the second hinge bar at the window. The locking section extends through the window for engaging the tab notch to form a secure connection. The release section, connected to the locking section, extends through the window for receiving a force from a user. The release section may be depressed toward the base, causing the locking section to disengage from the tab notch.
EASY FOLD LOCKING MECHANISMS
The present disclosure relates to a support system for a gaming table including a first support bar of a gaming-table support, a second support bar of a gaming-table support, a third support bar of a gaming-table support, and a gaming-table support locking apparatus. The third support bar has an arcuate shape and is in a pivotable connection with the second support bar. The gaming-table support locking apparatus includes a first locking bar and a second locking bar. The second locking bar is configured to be in one of two states of being: a first state that allows the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar; and a second state that prevents the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar.
Toy apparatus
A toy apparatus includes a base piece and a plurality of elongated members. The base piece is configured to slide on a surface. Each elongated member has a first end and a second end, with the elongated members being movably coupled to the base piece near the first ends. A tether is coupled to the first ends of the elongated members, and tension applied to the tether moves the elongated members from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the second ends of the elongated members are expanded apart from each other. In the second position, the second ends of the elongated members are contracted toward each other and are capable of surrounding a target piece.
