Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention is applicable to basketball, volleyball,
This invention relates to a score display used in competitions such as tennis.

"Background of the Idea" When installing a competitive score display in a stadium such as a gymnasium, it is convenient if the score display can be used for various competitions.

However, even if we take basketball, volleyball, and tennis as examples, each sport has completely different rules and scoring methods, and various inconveniences arise when attempting to share a single score display.

In other words, in basketball, games are limited by time and are played in the following order: first half, intermission, second half, intermission, and overtime. The winner is the one with the most points in the first half and second half. Also, if a player commits 5 fouls, he will be sent off, and if his team commits 7 fouls, he will be sent off.
There is a rule that gives the opposing team a free throw for each foul after an inning.

Therefore, in the case of basketball, there is a time indicator that displays the remaining time of the game, a score indicator, a player foul count indicator, a team foul count indicator, and a distinction between the first half, second half, and overtime. A display device is required to display the information.

On the other hand, in volleyball, the player who wins a predetermined number of points first wins the set, regardless of the time, and the player who wins more sets wins. In other words, for women, if you perform 3 sets and win 2, you are the winner. For boys, perform 5 sets and 3
If you win the set, you are the winner. In the case of volleyball, players are allowed to be substituted up to six times in one set, and only the team that has the right to serve is allowed to score.

Therefore, a volleyball game requires at least a score display, a set count display, a player substitution number display, and a serve right display.

Furthermore, in the case of tennis, the first person to win 6 games with a 2-game difference wins the set, and wins 2 out of 3 sets.
The one who wins the set is the winner.

Therefore, in the case of tennis, at least a score display, a set count display, and a game count display are required.

``Prior art'' In the past, very few displays such as score display and set count display were shared, and other displays required for each sport were displayed by replacing cards, etc., or by handwriting on bulletin boards, etc. It is displayed.

``The problem that the invention attempts to solve'' At least basketball, volleyball,
When attempting to configure a score display that can be used commonly for tennis competitions, a unique display is required for each competition, as described above. For this reason, if a unique display device for each sport is provided exclusively for that sport, the number of indicators attached to the display panel will increase, resulting in a large size of the display panel and an increase in cost.

The purpose of this invention is to share as many displays as possible for the three sports of basketball, volleyball, and tennis, and to reduce the number of displays on the score board as much as possible. It attempts to provide a score display.

``Means for solving the problem'' In this invention, a pair of display devices consisting of seven dot display elements is provided, and when the pair of display devices is used for basketball depending on the setting of the mode setting switch, The controller is provided with a controller that operates as an R number display, a player substitution number display when used for volleyball, and a game count display when used for tennis.

According to the structure of this invention, by switching the mode setting switch to each mode position of basketball, volleyball, and tennis, the score display and other displays will be displayed according to the rules determined for each sport. Needless to say, the display consisting of seven dot display elements works as a team number indicator for basketball, as a player substitution number indicator for volleyball, and as a player substitution number indicator for tennis. acts as a game count indicator.

As a result, the number of displays installed on the display board can be reduced compared to the case where a team player number display, player substitution number display, and game count display are provided for each competition, and the score display board can be adjusted accordingly. The advantage is that the shape can be made smaller and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

``Example'' Figure 1 shows an example of the appearance of a competition score display board according to this invention. In the figure, 100 refers to the entire score display board. Time display 10 in the center of score display board 100
1 is provided. This time display 101 is used only in the case of basketball and displays the remaining time of the game. At the bottom of the time display 101 is provided a game progress display 102 which is used only for basketball. This display 102 displays the first half of the game, the intermission Int, the second half of the second half, and the extra time Ext.

103A and 103B indicate serve right indicators used in volleyball and tennis.

104A and 104B indicate team name display devices.
This team name display will be used for all competitions.
As for the structure, for example, a display device in which a large number of light emitting diodes are arranged in a matrix and can display characters, figures, etc. is used. The method of inputting character data to the displays 104A and 104B is to write the team name on a card by hand, read the card with a character reader, and display it on the displays 104A and 104B. I can do it.

105A and 105B indicate timeout indicators. This timeout indicator is used in basketball and volleyball. The upper lamp lights up at the first timeout, and the lower lamp lights up at the second timeout.

106A and 106B indicate score display devices. This score display can be used for basketball, volleyball,
Used in all tennis competitions. In this example 7
The case using a segment type numeric display is shown.

107A and 107B indicate set count indicators. This set count indicator is used in volleyball and tennis. In the case of men's volleyball, 5 sets are performed, and the result of the 5th set can be seen on the score display devices 106A and 106B, so in this example, the results of up to 4 sets are displayed on the set count display devices 107A and 107B. There is. The set score of each set is displayed on numerical displays 108A, 108B provided outside the set count displays 107A, 107B.

109A and 109B are indicators related to this invention. Each of the displays 109A and 109B is composed of seven dot display elements.
In this example, a lamp display is used as the dot display element. An example is shown in which the inner six dots use green light-emitting lamps, and the outer one is red and uses a light-emitting lamp that is one size larger.

In this invention, the displays 109A and 109B made up of these seven light emitting elements are used to display the number of team referees when used for basketball, to display the number of player substitutions when used for volleyball, and to display the number of player substitutions when used for volleyball. When used for games, it is used as a game count indicator.

In other words, in basketball, the number of fouls a team commits is 7.
The rule is that if a player reaches the 8th inning and commits the 8th inning, the opposing team will be awarded free throws after the 8th inning. For this reason, it is necessary to always inform the players of the current value of the team's number of fouls. Therefore, in this example, when a foul occurs, the lamps of the display device 109A or 109B of the team that committed the foul are lit one by one from the inside, and the number of fouls is displayed based on the number of lights lit, and the number of fouls is 7. When the number of fouls reached is 7, a red lamp on the outside lights up to make it clear that the number of fouls has reached 7.

In volleyball, on the other hand, players are allowed up to six changes in each set. For this reason, in the case of volleyball, one green lamp is lit from the inside each time there is a change of players, and the number of times of player changes is indicated by the number of lights lit.

In tennis, the first person to win six games by two games wins the set. For this reason, each time a game is won, the green lamp of the winning display 109A or 109B is lit one by one from the inside, and the number of games won is indicated by the number of lights lit. If you win 6 games with a difference of 2 games, the winner of the set is determined, and the set count indicator 1 on the winner's side is determined.
Turn on the lamp 07A or 107B, and display the set score on the set score display 108A and 10.
Display on 8B. Normally, the first person to win two out of three sets wins.

A controller for performing the above operations will be explained using FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, 200 indicates a scoring operation board. This score operation board 20
0 has a built-in controller 300. In this example, a microcomputer is used as the controller 300. As is well known, a microcomputer stores a central processing unit 301 and a program that operates this central processing unit 301 in a predetermined order.
A ROM 302, a RAM 303 for storing various input data, a character generator 304 for outputting character data, an input port 305,
and an output port 306.

Various operating devices provided on the score console 200 are connected to the input port 305 so that control signals can be input to the controller 300. Also output port 3
Each display of the score display board 100 is connected to 06. Here, only displays 109A and 109B are shown.

The displays 109A and 109B are provided with latch circuits 111A and 111B, respectively, and a drive circuit 112.
The display data sent from the controller 300 is latched between the latch circuits 111A and 112B.
This latch output is then sent to the driver circuit 1B.
12A and 112B are provided to the displays 109A and 109
The lamp B is configured to be turned on and controlled.

The score operation panel 200 has a mode setting switch 20.
1 is provided. This mode setting switch 201
Accordingly, the controller 300 is set to operate for basketball, volleyball, and tennis. For this setting, the ROM 302 is provided with a storage area that stores a basketball program, a storage area that stores a volleyball program, and a storage area that stores a tennis program, and these can be stored using the mode setting switch. By switching the area and operating with the desired program, you can display scores according to the rules of each competition,
The game is designed to display the game count, the number of player substitutions, the game count, etc.

In this example, a FREE mode is provided so that the score display 100 can be used for any other competition.

When the mode setting switch 201 is set to basketball, the controller 300 reads a basketball program from the ROM 302 and starts up. In this state, the score button 202 on the score operation panel 200
When A or 202B is operated, one point is displayed on the score display 106A or 106B on the operated side. Score button 202A or 20 every time there is a score
If you operate 2B, score display 106A and 106B
is displayed in increments of +1. The switch 203 is normally set to the + side, but if you accidentally add a point to the opposing team, you can flip it to the - side and press the button 202A or 20 on the side where you accidentally added a point.
If you operate 2B, your score will be reduced by 1 and you can return to normal.

On the other hand, the operation buttons 204A and 204B operate as input buttons for the number of team fur in the case of basketball. In other words, when the operation button 204A or 204B of the team that committed the foul is operated, one lamp of the team foul number display 109A or 109B on the operated side lights up. A storage area for each team is provided in the RAM 303, and this storage area contains 1 to 7 teams.
The number of
The data is transferred to 11A and 111B, and the number of lamps to be lit is switched according to the numerical data.

If set to volleyball, score operation button 20
Score display 106 when operating 2A and 202B
The score displayed on A and 106B is incremented by 1, as in the case of basketball, but operation buttons 204A and 204B are used as buttons for inputting the number of player substitutions. Therefore, if the number 6 is entered in the player substitution number storage area provided in the RAM 303, that becomes the limit, and even if the operation button 204A or 204B on the side where that number was input is operated next time, the 7th lamp will be displayed. In other words, the program is created so that the red lamps, which are large in shape, are not turned on.

If set to tennis, score operation button 202A,
When you operate 202B, the display 106A will appear for each operation.
The display of and 106B changes in the order of 0, 15, 30, 30, 〓 (advantage).

Here, when team A has 40 points and team B has 30 points, when team A scores, the score operation button 202A on the A side is pressed.
The display does not change even if you operate. A team 40 points,
When Team A scores a point while Team B has 40 points, Team A's score display 106A becomes 〓 (Advantage), and Team B's score display 106B becomes blank. In this situation, the next time Team B scores, the score display will be 40:40 (The Youth).

When the winner of one game is determined here, the player operates the game point operation button 204A or 204B on the winner's side. By operating this operation button 204A or 204B, one lamp of the display 109A or 109B lights up and the number of winning games is increased by one. At the same time, the display on the score display devices 106A and 106B is erased.

If the game counts displayed on the displays 109A and 109B reach a ratio of 6:6, a tie-break will occur. In this case, the tie-break switch 205 provided on the scoring operation panel 200 is turned to the tie-break side. When the switch 205 is turned to the tie-breaker side, the score display devices 106A and 106B display additions such as 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . 7.

"Function and Effect of the Invention" As explained above, according to this invention, the pair of indicators 109A and 109B can be operated as a game count indicator in the case of basketball, and as a player substitution number indicator in the case of volleyball. In the case of tennis, the display board 100 is operated as a game count display, so there is no need to provide separate displays for each sport, and the display board 100 can be made smaller. Furthermore, since there is no need to increase the number of display devices, there is an advantage that the cost can be reduced accordingly.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the display devices 109A and 109
Although we have explained the case where B is composed of seven lamps, another display element is a plate-shaped dot display element that is reversed and the front and back sides of the plate are brightly colored and darkly colored. A display element for display can also be used.
