The first image capturing module 242 is arranged in a front side of the mobile device 24 and configured to capture the image of the first dart player 20. In other words, the first image capturing module 242 is a front camera of the mobile device 24. The second image capturing module 244 is arranged in a rear side of the mobile device 24 and configured to capture the dartboard image 22. In other words, the second image capturing module 244 is a rear camera of the mobile device 24. The score input element 250 is a user input device, such as a touch device, keyboard, or a mouse, etc. The score input element 250 is configured to receive a dart player score corresponding to the dartboard image either inputted manually by the first dart player 20, or received from a score sensing module 45. The display 25 is described in other paragraph with FIG. 3. The score sensing module 45 is described in other paragraph with FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. The processor 249 is connected with the first image capturing module 242, the second image capturing module 244, the score input element 250 and the display 25.

The wireless transmission module 245 is connected to the first image capturing module 242, the second image capturing module 244, and the processor 249. To allow worldwide dart players to join a thrilling competition at home easily, an online match, league or tournament application 246 installed in the mobile device 24 and executed by the processor 249 is provided. The wireless transmission module 245 is configured to transmit the dart player score, the image of the first dart player 20, and the dartboard image 22 to the other mobile device 34 participating in a competition. In addition, the wireless transmission module 245 is configured to receive a competitor score, the images of the second dart player 30, and the other dartboard 32 transmitted by the other one (that is, the mobile device 34) of the mobile devices participating in a competition. The online match, league or tournament application 246 executed by the processor 249 is a dart competition application installed in the mobile device 24. The processor 249 is connected with the first image capturing module 242, the second image capturing module 244 and the wireless transmission module 245, and configured to selects at least two images from the images of the first dart player 20, the dartboard 22, the second dart player 30 and the dartboard 32 to simultaneously displays the same, dart player score, and the competitor score on the display in a split-screen interface. The at least two images displayed in a split-screen interface are selected and displayed according to a preset or the selection of the first dart player 20. In this embodiment, the mobile device 24 or 34 further comprises a storage device. The online match, league or tournament application 246 is stored in the storage device, executed by the processor, and displayed by the display. The online match, league or tournament application 246 is configured to record the dart player score and the competitor score.

The processor 249 further includes a scoring module 247 and an image processing module 248, wherein the scoring module 247 is configured to record and sum up a score of each dart on the dartboard 22. In the present invention, the score of the dart may be automatically counted or manually inputted on the user input device. Since the dartboard image 22 will be transmitted to the other competitor for being viewed, the other competitor can clearly identify a landing point of the dart and a deserving score, and in other words, even if the score is manually input, there is no doubt about cheating. The image processing module 248 is configured to perform actions of zooming, turning, cutting or the like on the images of the first dart player 20, the dartboard 22, the second dart player 30 and the dartboard 32 and put the same into a split screen.

Considering that when the mobile device 24 is placed between the first dart player 20 and the dartboard 22 and is located on the same straight line, the first dart player 20 may hit the mobile device 24 while throwing the dart, and therefore, the mobile device 24 must be placed at a position close to a side. As a result, if the first image capturing module 242 (that is, the front camera) directly faces the first dart player 20, the second image capturing module 244 (that is, the rear camera) cannot photograph the dartboard 22. In view of this, in the embodiment in FIG. 1 of the present invention, a reflecting element is provided and the reflecting element may be a mirror. The mirror 26 is arranged in front of or beside the mobile device 24, and the angle of the mirror 26 is adjusted to reflect or redirect the dartboard image 22 to the second image capturing module 244. Since lenses of the mobile devices 24 of different brands and models have different processing modes for the captured images, the images generated by certain lenses will be reversed left and right or become left-to-right reversed images after reflected by the mirror 26. For example, the first dart player 20 is a right-hander, but is displayed as a left-hander after the image is transmitted to the mobile device 34 of the second dart player 30. Therefore, the image processing module 248 is required to adjust the image to the correct direction so as to avoid misjudgment.

The mirror 26 may be installed on the mobile device 24 or connected to the mobile device 24 by utilizing a universal joint (not shown), so that the mirror 26 can be rotated at will to adjust the angle. Alternatively, the mobile device 24 and the mirror 26 are both fixed to at least one stand (not shown). There are other more methods for placing the mirror 26, which are all included within the scope of the present invention as long as the mirror 26 is arranged in front of or beside the mobile device 24 and can reflect or redirect the dartboard image 22 into the second image capturing module 244.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of throwing the dart by the first dart player 20 in the online dart competition system of the present invention. The first dart player 20 is a competitor of a local end, that is, the competitor himself/herself. It can be apparently seen from FIG. 3 that the mirror 26 is placed in front of or beside the mobile device 24 to reflect or redirect the dartboard image 22 to the rear camera of the mobile device 24. Similarly, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of throwing the dart by the second dart player 30 in the online dart competition system of the present invention. The second dart player 30 is a remote competitor, that is, a competition opponent. FIG. 4 and FIG. 3 are the same in that they both adopt a mode that mirrors 26 and 36 reflect or redirect the images of the dartboards 22 and 32 to the rear cameras 244 and 344, so that the mobile devices 24 and 34 to separately and simultaneously acquire the images of the first dart player 20, the dartboard 22, the second dart player 30 and the dartboard 32 through the front and rear cameras thereof, and separately present the images on the online match, league or tournament applications 246 and 346 in a split-screen interface. In the present invention, the online match, league or tournament applications 246 and 346 provide a first display mode and a second display mode and determine which one of the first and second display modes to be on the mobile device 24 and 34. In the first display mode, the display 25 of the mobile device 24 is as shown in FIG. 6 when the first dart player 20 is a thrower.
