First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for measuring a shot force exerted on a movable game device, comprising:
- a provider for providing a time curve, which occurs when the game device is impacted by an object, of an acceleration acting upon the object, or a time curve of a pressure of the game device;
a processor for processing the time curve of the acceleration or the time curve of the pressure to obtain an energy measure which depends on an energy transferred onto the object by the shot;
a provider for providing information about the shot force on the basis of the energy measure.

Abstract
For measuring a shot force exerted on a movable game device, a time curve of the acceleration during the shot or of the pressure within the game device during the shot is recorded and processed to obtain an energy measure, said energy measure then serving to provide information about the shot force.
