  • Patent number: 11262170
    Abstract: The invention relates to dartboard games, where projectiles are thrown at a target. The face of the dartboard has a realistic, lifelike image of a game animal, and the higher scoring regions correlate to the kill zone of the game animal's anatomy. Lower scoring regions correlate to the rest of the body of the game animal, and penalty scoring regions may be present, scoring negative points. Players try to land their darts in certain scoring regions in order to score the most points, depending upon the rules of the game. Rules are provided for a 300 point and 21 point game. If the images are printed on the dartboard, the darts may be thrown or launched with an apparatus like a mini-bow or blow-gun. If the images are projected, the darts may be virtual.

  • Publication number: 20070288961
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus determine program content attribute(s) of channels or programs received by an audio/video receiver. Program content attributes are determined by extracting attribute tagging data transmitted on a channel, by looking up previously stored attributes for a channel in a program content attribute table, and/or by identifying content through automatic data processing of the received channel signals themselves. Attributes may include, for example, national language, conversation vs. music, type of conversation (sports, call-in talk show) or music (classical, jazz, rock 'n roll), etc. The determined program content attributes are compared with program content attribute preferences specified for one or more users to develop matches for channel listening/viewing selection. Manual or automatic user identification may be implemented, along with storage of individual program content attribute preferences of different users.
