摘要:
In one embodiment, a distributed bowling center system includes two or more computing devices associated with respective bowling center peripherals. The bowling center peripherals are any electronic or mechanical device in a bowling center capable of detecting a bowling event or receiving input. Example bowling center peripherals include a pinsetter, a monitor, a bumper, a keypad, or a touchscreen. The bowling center peripherals are configured to perform at least one bowler center function. The computing devices are configured to execute at least one process related to a bowler center function of the associated peripheral. Each computing device is located physically closer to the peripheral than the other computer device. The computing devices are in communication via a network. The computing devices are configured to access a process map defining the communication, which is responsive to the at least one bowler center function.

A bowling score calculation device, a bowling score calculation method, and a computer program are provided in which a new game result is allowed to be obtained. The bowling score calculation device, from the result of a game adopted as a calculation source, receives selection of which throw of which frame of which game is to be used for each throw of each frame of a new score, and then calculates a new score by treating as a throw result a knocked-down pin count at the selected throw number of the selected frame in the selected game. Since a result not according to the ability is obtained, children, young people, adult people, and elderly people are allowed to enjoy together. Further, drawing of lottery or the like is employed in the selection of a game, a frame, and a throw number so that a luck factor is incorporated. Thus, "five-generation mutually supported bowling" is allowed to be realized in which people over "five generations", including also an ancestor generation who brings luck, support each other.

In one implementation, a mobile device is integrated with a bowling center automatic scoring system. For example, a server receives a lane control command originating with the mobile device and determines or identifies a bowling lane that is associated with the mobile device. A response message or signal, which includes data indicative of the bowling lane and the lane control command to, is sent to the automatic scoring system. The automatic scoring system executes the lane control command.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system and method of representation of the bowling game score. The system comprises means for detecting an external event associated to a game step and processing means suitable for receiving information relating to said external event and processing it to be represented on a monitor (14), said processing means being suitable for representing said information in three-dimensional format. The system further comprises means for generating auxiliary animated images in superimposition to the information regarding the generated event, for example interacting with i the representation of the information relating to the generated event.

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.
摘要:
An instant replay system for a bowling scoring system (24) is disclosed in which a video clip of a bowler's approach and delivery of a bowling ball, and a video clip of the bowling ball subsequently entering a pin fall area, are filmed, compressed and stored in a memory device (400l, 400r).
