Abstract

An automatically scoring structure of a dartboard which comprises a board body, at least two camera modules, a processing module and a display module is provided. The board body has a board-surface. The at least two camera modules comprise a first camera module and a second camera module. The first camera module retrieves a first image of the board-surface through a first angle, while the second camera module retrieves a second image of the board-surface through a second angle. The processing module which is electrically connected to the at least two camera modules determines a location of at least one dart according to the first and second images, and calculates a score according to the location of the at least one dart. The display module displays the score.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An automatically scoring structure of a dartboard, comprising:
 a board body, having a board-surface;   at least two camera modules, including a first camera module and a second camera module, the first camera module capturing a first image of the board-surface at a first angle, the second camera module capturing a second image of the board-surface at a second angle;   a processing module, electrically connected to the at least two camera modules, being configured to determine a position of at least one dart according to the first image and the second image, and being capable of calculating a score according to the position of the at least one dart; and   a display module, being configured to display the score.   
     
     
         2 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a case, wherein the board body and the at least two camera modules are disposed in the case. 
     
     
         3 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the processing module is further configured to record the score. 
     
     
         4 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first angle and the second angle are respectively between 0° and 90°. 
     
     
         5 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first angle and the second angle are respectively between 30° and 40°. 
     
     
         6 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the display module is further configured to display competition information. 
     
     
         7 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the competition information comprises a user identification, a thrown dart number and an accumulation score. 
     
     
         8 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the board body is a one-piece bristol board body. 
     
     
         9 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the board body is a one-piece wooden board body. 
     
     
         10 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the board body is a one-piece wound paper board body. 
     
     
         11 . The automatically scoring structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the board body is a one-piece flocked board body.
