Example Embodiment

[0028] The technical solution of the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.
[0029] An electronic building block includes a main building block and several auxiliary building blocks. Both the main building block and the auxiliary building block are made up of two building block units 1. A buckle 2 and a card slot 3 are provided on the edge of the joint surface of one building block unit. Matching slots and buckles are provided on the edge of the split surface of the building block unit. The center of the split surface of the building block unit is provided with a circuit board 4; the center of each outer surface of the main building block and the auxiliary building block is provided with a protruding male head 5 or concave The male and female heads are equipped with electrical connectors, and the electrical connectors are connected to the circuit board; between the building blocks and the building blocks, the mechanical connection and electrical connection are realized by inserting the male head into the female head. The circuit board includes the host single-chip circuit and the power supply circuit and wireless communication circuit connected to it. The auxiliary building block includes the auxiliary single-chip circuit; the auxiliary single-chip circuit is used to collect the information of the auxiliary building block and send the information through the electrical connector To the host single-chip circuit, the host single-chip circuit is used to collect the information of the main building block and the auxiliary building block, and send the information through the wireless communication circuit. The power supply circuit is used to supply power to the main building block and the auxiliary building block. The wireless communication circuit is used to connect the main building block and the auxiliary building block. The information of the building blocks is wirelessly transmitted to the upper computer.
[0030] Each building block is also provided with a storage circuit for storing the ID address information of the building block itself and the ID address information of each side of the building block, and a scanning circuit for scanning the connection state of the connectors on each side of the building block.
[0031] The host computer includes a wireless receiving device, a central processing unit, a display device, and a network communication device; the wireless receiving device is used to receive the building block information sent by the wireless communication circuit and transmit the information to the central processing unit, which is used to simulate the building block information Create a spatial model image, and send the image information to the display device for display; the network communication device is used for the upper computer and other smart devices (such as other upper computers, computers, tablets, smart phones, smart TVs and other devices) for network interaction.
[0032] When the electronic building block of the present invention is used, the main building block and a plurality of auxiliary building blocks are connected through a connector to form a specific three-dimensional shape. Each building block has a specific ID address, and each side of the building block also has a specific ID address. The scanning circuit in each building block scans the connection status of the connectors on each side of the building block, so that the entire peripheral connection status of the building block itself can be determined. When two blocks are connected, the storage circuit that stores these ID address information will automatically send the ID address information of the block itself and the ID address information of each side to the adjacent blocks through the electrical connector. With this information, The connection relationship and spatial state of the two connected building blocks can be uniquely determined. This information is passed between the building blocks and finally summarized to the main building block. The main building block sends the information to the host computer through the wireless communication circuit. The upper computer obtains the spatial three-dimensional model of the whole building block through analysis based on the aggregated building blocks and the ID address information of each side of each building block, and displays it on the display device.
[0033] Furthermore, users can also register their own independent accounts. After logging in, there is an independent space where you can operate on previously saved models, decompose and reassemble the models, and show them in the building block community through the Internet. Your own achievements can also be appreciated and downloaded to others, and combined with network technology for game entertainment.
[0034] The setting of male or female heads on the surface of each building block, the ratio of the number of male and female heads on the surface of each building block is set as required, and the logical relationship between each other is matched with the information of the host computer.
[0035] The shape of the building block is generally a vertical building block, but it can also be a building block with various characteristics such as a rectangular building block. Generally speaking, the shape of the characteristic building block represents the characteristics of the object, such as wheels, wings, etc., and the appearance is also similar to the real object. Generally speaking, such characteristic building blocks have only one male and one female head, of course, there are additional situations. The logical relationship setting between male and female heads corresponds to each other in the computer program. Once the computer retrieves the building block information, it will automatically match the mutual interface relationship.
[0036] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all these changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
