| | Scorekeeping device for tennis and similar games - Patent Review 4237372 (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | A comprehensive solution to the needs of scoring a game such as tennis would necessarily involve a device that may be adapted for either public display (as in a scoreboard), or which may be small and light enough for the player to wear without discomfort or restriction of his playing skill. |
 | | As a means to facilitate the use and interpretation of results of scoring, both the data entry keys 12 and the score indicators 15 and 16 may be compatibly color coded so that the user has an immediate and clear idea of which keys to press and of which scores are associated with which keys. |
 | | In the preferred embodiment, as applied to the game of tennis, the scores of two players are contained in two two-bit registers (A0, A1) and (B0, B1), where A and B refer to the respective players and the digits 0 and 1 refer to the lower-order and high-order binary digits respectively. |
