Abstract: An automatic scoring system for a plurality of bowling lanes is disclosed which employs a central control unit including a general purpose mini-computer having a read-only memory programmed to control the processor in the computation and display of bowling scores. The system is constructed to be easily expanded by adding a player console and an electronic module for each added pair of bowling lanes. Bowling score sheet information is displayed on cathode ray tube display devices at player and proprietor locations. Pinfall information may be introduced manually or by automatic pinfall sensors.

Abstract: A PLURALITY OF MEMORIES, EACH STORING CHARACTER CODES FOR ONE OR MORE TELEVISION TYPE DISPLAYS AND A PLURALITY OF CHARACTER GENERATORS, EACH FOR PRODUCING THE VIDEO SIGNALS FOR ONE TELEVISION HORIZONTAL SCAN LINE. (A PLURALITY OF ADJACENT SCAN LINES FORM ONE ROW ON A DISPLAY.) THE CHARACTER CODES ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE MEMORIES A GROUP AT A TIME IN INTERLACED FASHION. EACH GROUP OF CODES CORRESPONDS TO ONE ROW OF CHARACTERS TO BE WRITTEN ON ONE DISPLAY. EACH GROUP OF CODES IS APPLIED TO THE CHARACTER GENERATORS IN SUCCESSION AND EACH CHARACTER GENERATOR, DURING SUCCESSIVE HORIZONTAL SCAN LINE INTERVALS, APPLIES SUCCESSIVE GROUPS OF VIDEO SIGNALS, EACH GROUP INDICATIVE OF THE SAME LINE ON A DIFFERENT DISPLAY, TO THE DIFFERENT DISPLAYS.

Abstract: In a raster-scan display of bowling score information in conventional format, wherein the identity of each player is displayed and corresponding items of pinfall data and score data for each player are displayed in separate rows, improved readout means access digital data storage means only once in reading out corresponding items of both pinfall data and score data for each player, thereby cutting the readout rate to one-half of what would otherwise be required. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the fact that the size of the alphabet of different characters required to display the identity of the players is greater than the sum of the sizes of the respective alphabets of characters needed to provide pinfall data and characters needed to provide score data. A single data register of sufficient capacity to store the number of bits required for the characters of the player identity alphabet is operated as a single register for the raster-scan line display of player identity information and, alternatively, is divided into two smaller-sized registers for the display of corresponding items of pinfall data and score data.
