It is a trick. The electronic toy device according to the present invention includes a toy main body 1 and a control device 50.

 First, the toy body 1 will be described. The toy body 1 performs various operations, and includes a sensor unit 3, an operation unit 5, a package unit 7, and other circuit units. The sensor unit 3 is an environment detecting unit that detects an environment around the toy body 1 and outputs detection information. The sensor section 3 has an optical sensor 17, an infrared sensor 19, an evening sensor 20, a pressure sensor 23, a switch 25, a receiver 27, and the like.

 The optical sensor 17 is provided at the front of the toy body 1 and senses the brightness around the toy body 1.

 The infrared sensor 19 is composed of a pair of phototransistors 19a and 19b. Since the pair of phototransistors 19a and 19b are arranged on the left and right of the front of the toy main body 1, the object existing on the left front of the toy main body 1 and the object existing on the right front of the toy main body 1 are separated. Can be sensed individually. That is, the infrared sensor 19 is located in front of the toy body 1 by sensing the reflected infrared ray when the infrared ray transmitted from its own transmitter 37, which will be described later, is reflected on the object. It can detect objects that move.

The evening touch sensor 20 senses that it has touched the right front object of the toy body 1 and the touch sensor 20a that senses the left front object. It consists of an evening sensor 20b. The evening sensors 20a and 20b are provided at the front of the toy body 1, as shown in FIG. The touch sensor 20a includes a sensor unit 21a and a contact unit 22a, and the touch sensor 20b includes a sensor unit 21b and a contact unit 22b. The sensor sections 21a and 21b are installed at the base of each of the contact sections 22a and 22b provided so as to project diagonally forward. When the contact parts 22a and 22b come into contact with the object, the pressing force from the contact parts 22a and 22b is applied to the sensor parts 21a and 21b, and the front right or left It can sense that it has touched the object ahead.

 The pressure sensor 23 is provided at one or more locations on the surface of the toy body 1, and measures the pressing force applied to the toy body 1 in an analog amount. According to the value of the pressing force applied to the toy body 1, it is determined whether the user is being hit or gently stroking. For example, if the value of the pressing force measured by the pressure sensor 23 is equal to or more than a predetermined value, it is determined that the player has been strongly beaten, and if the value of the pressing force is lower than the predetermined value, Judge that you are gently stroking.

 The switch 25 includes a start switch, a stop switch, a reset switch, a tilt switch for detecting that the toy body 1 is tilted, an operation detection switch for detecting that the toy body 1 is operating, and the like. It is composed of appropriate switches.

 The receiver 27 is composed of a phototransistor and its peripheral circuit, and receives an infrared signal such as a pheromone signal and a signal indicating a friend transmitted from a transmitter 37 of another electronic toy device described later. Used for communication between electronic toy devices.

The receiver 27 for receiving the infrared signal transmitted from the transmitting device 37 of the other electronic toy device was provided separately from the infrared sensor 19, but was provided in red. It may be configured by providing only the outside line sensor 19. That is, the infrared sensor 19 is configured to receive the infrared signal transmitted from the transmitting device 37 of its own and to receive the infrared signal transmitted from the transmitting device 37 of another electronic toy device. Is also good.

 The various types of information detected by the respective sensors as described above are converted into electric signals and sent to the control device 50.

 The operating unit 5 is an operating means for operating a part or the whole of the toy body 1, and includes a right motor 29, a right gear mechanism unit 31 connected to the motor 29, and a gear mechanism unit 3. The right leg 33 connected to 1, the left motor 30, the left gear mechanism 32 connected to the motor 30, and the left gear mechanism 32 connected to the gear mechanism 32 It has legs 34 and the like. In this way, the right leg 33 and the left leg 34 can be individually driven by the pair of motors 29, 30.

 The right gear mechanism 31 transmits the power of the motor 29 to the right leg 33. For example, the right gear mechanism 31 includes a worm gear fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 29, a small gear that meshes with this gear, and a spur gear that meshes with this gear. And a small gear fixed to the spur gear. On the other hand, a spur gear is fixed to the right leg 33, and by combining the spur gear with the last stage small gear of the gear mechanism 31, the power of the motor 29 is increased. It is transmitted to the right leg 3 3.

The left gear mechanism 32 transmits the power of the motor 30 to the left leg 34, and has the same configuration as the right gear mechanism 31. The left leg 34 is composed of three legs 34a, 34b, and 34c, between the legs 34a and 34b, and between the legs 34. A pinion is interposed between b and 34c, a pinion is fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 30, and the pinion is inserted into the spur gear on the right leg 33a side. By combining The power of the motor 30 may be transmitted in series to the legs 34a, 34b, 34c. Such a configuration is also applied to the mechanism for driving the right leg 33.

 Alternatively, a single motor may be used to transmit the rotational driving force from this motor to both the right leg 33 and the left leg 34.

 The legs 3 3, 3 4 are each composed of three legs, rotate with the power transmitted from the gear mechanisms 31, 32, and move the toy body 1. In addition, a member such as rubber having high frictional resistance is attached to the tip of each of the legs 33 and 34 in order to enhance grip with the moving surface. In the present embodiment, an insect-type toy is formed using a rod-shaped leg. However, in the case of a vehicle-type toy, a leg such as a baby may be used. In the case of an animal toy, a leg that mimics the animal's foot may be used.

 The light emitting device 35 includes a pair of LEDs 35a and 35b, a light emitting drive circuit, and the like. The pair of LEDs 35a and 35b are arranged at the positions of the eyes of the insect-shaped toy body 1 as shown in FIG. LED 35a and 35b blink under the control of the controller 50.

 The transmitting device 37 is composed of an LED, a transmitter, and the like. LED transmits infrared rays to the right front and left front. When the transmitted infrared ray is reflected by an object located ahead and the reflected light is input to the infrared sensor 19, it is determined that the object is located ahead. The transmitter transmits to the other electronic toy device information such as calling and threatening, pheromone signals, type signals indicating types such as strong, weak, and the same. The transmitted information is received by the receiver 27 of the other electronic toy device.

The audio device 39 has a speaker, a poly circuit, etc. Outputs a call.

 The package part 7 is installed on the upper part of the toy body 1 as shown in FIG. The package section 7 is formed in the shape of a power cartridge, and internally has peripheral circuit sections such as ROM 9, RAM 11, EEPROM 13 and connector 41, and an interface circuit. .

 The ROM 9 is a storage means for storing a program executed by the control device 50. The ROM 9 stores a program for setting an operation corresponding to the sensor input of the toy main body 1. That is, a program for setting an operation to be performed by the toy main body 1 when a certain condition is satisfied is stored.

 RA 11 stores data relating to the operation set by the control device 50. The data relating to the operation stored in RAM 11 is referred to by CPU 51 at any time while control device 50 controls the operation of toy body 1. The RAM 11 is used as a work area of the control device 50.

 The EPROM 13 stores data set based on the control of the control device 50 and data relating to the operation of the toy device 1 corresponding to the sensor input. The data stored in EPROM 13 is not erased even if the control device 50 is turned off. Therefore, even if the power of the control device 50 is turned off, it is possible to play with the same settings as the last time by reading out the data from the eprom 13.

The connector 41 is a connection portion, and the toy body 1 and the control device 50 are connected via the connector 41. Further, the connector 41 is connected to each of the sensor unit 3 and the operation unit 5, and information of the sensor unit 3 is sent to the control device 50 via the internal path and the connector 41, and The control signal from the device 50 is transmitted to the operating unit via the connector 41 and the internal path. Conveyed to 5.

 Next, the control device 50 will be described with reference to FIG.

 The control device 50 is mounted on the toy main body 1 and controls the operation of the toy main body 1. The control unit 50 is a CPU 51, ROM 53, RAM 55, display unit 57, operation unit 59, input port 61, output port 63, connector 6

Consists of 5 and so on.

 The display unit 57 is composed of a liquid crystal display (LCD) or the like, and displays an operation setting screen for setting the operation of the toy body 1 and the like.

 The operation unit 59 includes a plurality of switches 59a, 59b, 59c, 59d and the like as shown in FIG. The operation unit 59 sets the operation of the toy main body 1 in response to the sensor input by operating according to the screen displayed on the display unit 57.

 The input port 61 converts an electric signal received from the toy body 1 into data that the CPU 51 can understand.

 The output port 63 converts a control signal from the CPU 51 into an electric signal for operating the toy body 1.

 The connector 65 connects the toy body 1 to the control device 50. When the control device 50 is attached to the toy body 1, the connector 65 becomes the connector 41 in the package section 7 of the toy body 1. By connecting to, the toy body 1 and the control device 50 are electrically connected.

 The ROM 53 stores various programs. For example, the basic program (OS) of the control device 50, the operation setting program and the control program for reading various data from the R0M9 of the toy body 1, and the ROM9 are read from the ROM9. Programs for executing the installed programs are stored.

In the RAM 55, the CPU 51 executes the program and performs various control processes. This is used as a work area when the work is performed.

 CPU 51 is control means for setting the operation of the toy body 1 and controlling based on the set contents.

 The CPU 51 reads a program from the ROM 9 based on the program stored in the ROM 53 and executes the program.

 The CPU 51 sets an operation corresponding to the sensor input of the toy main body 1 based on the program read from the ROM 9.

 In addition, the CPU 51 stores the operation corresponding to the set sensor input of the toy body 1 in the RAM 11 and the EPROM 13 of the toy body 1. Then, every time various detection information is input from the toy body 1, the CPU 51 causes the toy body 1 to perform a preset operation based on the input information.

 Further, the CPU 51 learns based on past actions and creates a new learning decision pattern. For example, immediately after determining from the information from the infrared sensor 19 that "there is a person in front", it is determined that "bullying" is based on the information from the pressure sensor 23. If such a thing is repeated several times, it learns that "there is a person ahead" and "bullies", and creates a new learning judgment pattern. As a result, if it is determined that “a person is ahead”, the person will take action to avoid “bullying” by this person.

For example, in the initial setting, when it is determined that "a person is ahead", "scream 1" is emitted, and when it is determined that "bullying" occurs, the action of "retreat" is set. For example, after the above-mentioned learning judgment pattern is created, if it is determined that "a person is ahead", it does not emit "scream 1" and "retreat" or "scream 1" (immediately "Retreat." Therefore, human An electronic toy device that takes an action of escaping from the vehicle is formed.

 Conversely, immediately after determining that “a person is ahead” based on the information from the infrared sensor 19, it is determined that “stroking” based on the information from the pressure sensor 23. Then, when this is repeated several times, it learns that "there is a human in front of you" and "stroking". An electronic toy device is formed.

 In addition, when the signal from the infrared sensor 19 is only an infrared signal of a specific frequency, when it is possible to move forward even if it is determined that an object is present ahead, When 1, 29 and 30 rotate, we learn that even if there is an object that reflects an infrared signal of a specific frequency, we can push such an object and move forward.

 Also, if you experience that you cannot push an object in a dark place and there is an object, learn to be safe in a dark place.

 Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the control device 50 is mounted on the toy body 1. Here, when only the power switch of the toy main body 1 is turned on, the motors 29 and 30 are tilled for a predetermined time. When the motor 29 rotates, the leg 33 is driven for a predetermined time via the gear mechanism 31 connected to the motor 29. Similarly, when the motor 30 rotates, the leg 34 is driven for a predetermined time via the gear mechanism 32 connected to the motor 30. That is, when only the power switch of the toy body 1 is turned on, the legs 33, 34 operate only for a predetermined time, and the toy body 1 simply moves forward or backwards. At this time, the toy body 1 performs a realistic walking motion as if an insect is walking. Next, when the controller 50 is turned on, the CPU 51 reads the basic program from R0M53. Then, in step S1, the CPU 51 determines whether or not an input from the operation unit 57 has been received.

 In step S1, when the CPU 51 determines that there is an input from the operation unit 57, the process proceeds from step S1 to step S2.

 In step S2, the CPU 51 suspends the current operation of the toy body 1, and then proceeds from step S2 to step S3.

 In step S3, CPU 51 reads out and executes an operation setting program from R0M9 of toy body 1. When the operation setting program is executed, an operation setting screen is displayed on the display unit 59.

 Next, the process proceeds from step S3 to step S4. In step S4, the operation of the toy body 1 corresponding to various sensor inputs is set according to the operation of the operation unit 57.

 Here, as shown in Fig. 5, the operation setting of the toy body 1 corresponding to various sensor inputs is made by combining a sensor block, which is information determined based on various sensor inputs, and an instruction block indicating the operation content. It is done by doing. That is, when the condition selected in the sensor block is satisfied, the operation selected in the instruction block is performed.

For example, if there is an object in the right front, and you want to set it to avoid this, first, select the condition “there is an object in front right” from the sensor block. Then, select “retreat” to retreat from the instruction block. In addition, select “Left Curve” to move forward to the left from the same command block. Then, when it is detected by the infrared sensor 19 that an object is present on the right front, a series of operations of retreating, curving to the left front, and moving forward can be set. Also, set the number of steps to retreat or the time, etc., to move backward and forward You can set the distance.

 Here, the operation corresponding to the “left curve” of the instruction block is as follows. By driving the right motor 29 forward and maintaining the left motor 30 in a stopped state, only a part of the toy body, that is, By operating only the right leg 3 3, the toy body 1 can be turned left, that is, “left curve”. The operation corresponding to the “high-speed left curve” in the instruction block is The toy body 1 can be quickly turned to the left by driving the motor 29 forward and driving the left motor 30 backward.

 Furthermore, the condition of another operation is selected from the sensor block, and the operation content of the toy body 1 corresponding to various sensor inputs is set by selecting the operation content from the instruction block.

 Here, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the conditions such as “there is an object in front of the sensor block”, “there is a person ahead”, “bullied”, and “patched”. Judge based on information from various sensors.

 For example, the infrared sensor 19 inputs the reflected infrared light when the infrared light transmitted from its own transmitting device 37 is reflected on the object, and the input of the reflected infrared light is longer than a predetermined time. If it continues, judge that “an object that is stationary ahead exists”. In addition, when the input of the infrared ray reflected from the object changes, or when there is a so-called fluctuation, it is determined that there is an object moving forward, that is, “a person is ahead”.

Further, the pressure sensor 23 measures the pressing force applied to the toy body 1 in an analog amount, and is pressed or gently stroked according to the value of the pressing force applied to the toy body 1. Is determined. For example, when the value of the pressing force measured by the pressure sensor 23 is equal to or more than a predetermined value, Is determined to be “bullied” by being hit hard, and if the value of the pressing force falls below a predetermined value, it is gently determined to be “patched”.

 In addition, the priority can be set for each sensor block. The priority order is used to determine which operation the toy body 1 is to perform when the conditions of a plurality of sensor blocks are simultaneously satisfied. When the conditions of a plurality of sensor blocks are simultaneously satisfied, the CPU 51 causes the toy body 1 to perform an operation corresponding to the case where the condition of the higher priority is satisfied.

 For example, when the first priority is “touching the right tactile sensation”, that is, the operation of “turning left” of the instruction block is set in accordance with the “right touch sensor” of the sensor block and However, if the second priority is to set the command block to “snell 1” in response to the sensor block “bullied”, then at the same time as “the object touched the right tactile sensation”

If it is determined that the user has been “bullied”, the CPU 51 compares the priorities of the two, and determines that the priority in the case of “touching the right tactile sensation” is higher. To "turn left".

 In addition, it is possible to set whether or not to allow interruption for operations corresponding to various sensor inputs. That is, if there is another sensor input during the operation corresponding to one sensor input, the operation corresponding to one sensor input is interrupted and the operation corresponding to another sensor input is performed. Can be set.

 If interrupts are not allowed, the operation corresponding to one sensor input is performed until the end, and the other sensor inputs that are currently in operation are ignored.

The above-described operation is set while the control device 50 is attached to the toy body 1, and is set based on the display content of the display unit 59 of the control device 50. When the setting of the operation corresponding to the sensor input is completed, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S5. In step S5, the CPU 51 stores the operation set in step S4 in the RAM 11 and the EEPROM 13 of the toy main body 1. The settings stored in RAM 11 are deleted when the power is turned off, but the operation setting information stored in EEPROM 13 is not deleted when the power is turned off. Therefore, by reading out the operation setting information stored in the EEPROM 13 by the control device 50, it is possible to return to the settings before the power was turned off. When the operation setting information is stored, the process proceeds from step S5 to step S6.

 In step S6, the CPU 51 determines whether an input has been made to any of the sensors in the sensor unit 3. When the CPU 51 determines that an input has been made to any of the sensors, the process proceeds from step S6 to step S7.

 In step S7, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the toy body 1 is operating corresponding to the sensor input. If the CPU 51 determines that the toy body 1 is operating in response to the sensor input, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S8.

 In step S8, it is determined whether or not the CPU 51 allows interruption, that is, whether or not to interrupt the current operation of the toy body 1 and perform an operation corresponding to a new sensor input. The determination of the permission / non-permission of the interrupt is made based on the operation setting in step S4. If the CPU 51 determines that the interrupt is permitted, the process proceeds from step S8 to step S9.

 In step S9, the CPU 51 suspends the operation of the toy body 1 currently. Thereafter, the process proceeds from step S9 to step S10.

 If it is determined in step S7 that the toy body 1 is not operating, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S10.

In step S10, the CPU 51 reads from RAM 11 information relating to the operation corresponding to the new sensor input determined in step S6. Next, the process proceeds from step S10 to step S11. If the interrupt is not permitted in step S8, the process proceeds from step S8 to step S11.

 If it is determined in step S6 that there is no sensor input, the process proceeds from step S6 to step S12.

 In step S12, the CPU 51 determines whether the toy main body 1 is operating in response to the sensor input. If it is determined in step S12 that the operation corresponding to the sensor input is not being performed, the process proceeds from step S12 to step S13.

 In step S13, the normal operation, that is, the operation when there is no sensor input, is read from RAM11. Subsequently, the process proceeds from step S13 to step S11.

 If it is determined in step S12 that the operation corresponding to the sensor input is being performed, the process proceeds from step S12 to step S11.

 In step S11, the operation of the toy main body 1 is controlled based on the information read from the RAM 11 in step S10 or S13.

 Then, return from step S11 to step S1, and repeat the above steps.

 In addition, a doll, a music box, or the like is provided at an appropriate position on the toy body 1, and when an infrared signal indicating that it is a “mate” is received from another electronic toy device, a part of the toy body 1, ie, the doll, Alternatively, the music box may be operated so as to express joy by operating only the music box.
