摘要:
A lane control system for a bowling center having a plurality of bowling lanes comprises:
a plurality of game control units (16, 74) each including a central processing unit (200) coupled to a display device (20L, 20R) and a bowler input means for interfacing with the operation of a bowling game, each said central processing unit operating on-line under the control of a game control program in response to bowling game operation commands received from the bowler input means to control an associated pin setting device; a manager's control system (26) including a central processing unit (32) coupled to a display device (72) and operator input means (42) for interfacing with the operation of a manager's control system; and communication means (27) for electrically connecting the central processing unit of said manager's control system with the central processing unit of each of said game control units.
A switching means (40, 73, 74) is provided which operatively associates with said manager's control system for selectively coupling said manager's control system operator input means to a selected one of said game control units so that said manager's control system operator input means interacts with the central processing unit of the selected game control unit to provide on-line control of the operation of the bowling game for the selected game control unit.
