Abstract

A trampoline game has a trampoline with a trampoline frame and a trampoline bed. The trampoline bed is connected to the trampoline frame by a plurality of springs. A gun has an infrared emitter emitting an infrared signal. A target has one or more infrared receivers capable of receiving a signal from the infrared emitter of the gun. A second gun also has an infrared emitter emitting an infrared signal, and the target is capable of receiving an infrared signal from the second gun. A bounce sensor can be used for sensing user bounces. The bounce sensor outputs data which could be sent to a microprocessor. Defined game parameters may be stored in memory programmed into a microprocessor that receives data.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A trampoline game comprising:
a. a first trampoline having a first trampoline frame and a first trampoline bed, wherein the first trampoline bed is tensioned across the first trampoline frame, wherein the first trampoline bed forms a first play area;
b. a first gun having a first beam emitter emitting a first beam signal, wherein the first beam signal is a radiant energy signal having infrared, ultraviolet or visible light;
c. a first target having one or more receivers for receiving a first beam signal from the first beam emitter of the first gun, wherein the first target is configured to be on a first player;
d. a second trampoline having a second trampoline frame and a second trampoline bed, wherein the second trampoline bed is tensioned across the second trampoline frame, wherein the second trampoline bed forms a second play area;
e. a second gun having a second beam emitter emitting a second beam signal, wherein the second beam signal is a radiant energy signal having infrared, ultraviolet or visible light;
f. a second target having one or more receivers for receiving a second beam signal from the second beam emitter of the second gun, wherein the second target is configured to be on a second player; and
g. a screen separating the first play area from the second play area, wherein the first player is assigned the first play area and the second player is assigned the second play area, wherein the screen is configured to separate the first player from the second player.

2. The trampoline game of claim 1 , further comprising: defined game parameters programmed into a microprocessor that receives data.

3. The trampoline game of claim 2 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a boss target game parameter and underling target game parameters, wherein the boss target has greater hit points than underling targets.

4. The trampoline game of claim 2 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a game level game parameter defined as a round requiring a complete deactivation of every target.

5. The trampoline game of claim 2 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: player attribute game parameters comprising: a gun cooldown time defined as a set delay time that the first and/or second gun requires before a successive shot is initiated.

6. The trampoline game of claim 2 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: player attribute game parameters comprising: a gun ammunition capacity defined as the number of shots that the gun stores such that when the gun ammunition reaches zero the first and/or second gun can no longer hit the targets.

7. The trampoline game of claim 3 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: player attribute game parameters comprising: player hit points defined as a certain number of hit points required to eliminate the player.

8. The trampoline game of claim 3 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: player attribute game parameters comprising: a charge per bounce defined as the number of bounces required to load a shot of ammunition to allow the first and/or second gun to fire a single shot, wherein the bounce sensor senses the bounces and sends bounce signals to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor increments the shot of ammunition.

9. The trampoline game of claim 3 , further comprising: a hit point visual indicator located on the first and/or second target implemented by LED lighting.

10. The trampoline game of claim 1 , further comprising: a bounce sensor for sensing the players bounces; wherein the bounce sensor outputs data; and further comprising: defined game parameters programmed into a microprocessor that receives said data.

11. The trampoline game of claim 10 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a boss target game parameter and underling target game parameters, wherein the boss target has greater hit points than underling targets.

12. The trampoline game of claim 11 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a game level game parameter defined as a round requiring a complete deactivation of every target.

13. The trampoline game of claim 11 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a gun cooldown time defined as a set delay time that the first and/or second gun requires before a successive shot is initiated.

14. The trampoline game of claim 11 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a gun ammunition capacity defined as the number of shots that the first and/or second gun stores such that when the gun ammunition reaches zero the first and/or second gun can no longer hit the targets.

15. The trampoline game of claim 11 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: player hit points defined as a certain number of hit points required to eliminate the player.

16. The trampoline game of claim 11 , wherein said defined game parameters comprise: a charge per bounce defined as the number of bounces required to load a shot of ammunition to allow the first and/or second gun to fire a single shot, wherein the bounce sensor senses the bounces and sends bounce signals to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor increments the shot of ammunition.

17. The trampoline game of claim 11 , further comprising: a hit point visual indicator located on the first and/or second target implemented by LED lighting.

18. The trampoline game of claim 1 , further comprising: a bounce sensor for sensing the players bounces; wherein the bounce sensor outputs data.
