Embodiment Construction

[0021] In the accompanying drawings there is depicted schematically a handheld electronic game embodying the invention, comprising a body 10 taking the general physical external shape of a yo-yo. However, the body 10 may take the shape of a spinning top, watch or any other conveniently pocketed form.

[0022] The body 10 which is typically formed of moulded plastics material comprises a first wheel 11 and a second wheel 12 fixedly connected together by a spindle 22 about which an end-loop of a string 13 can be wrapped.

[0023] The first wheel 11 includes a display panel 14 (typically a colour LCD display panel) and a number of control keys 15. The control keys 15 may be separate entities, or regions on a touch-pad for example.

[0024] The display 14 and control keys 15 are mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) 16, and so is an integrated circuit processor. The PCB 16 is connected electrically with the control keys 15 and display panel 14. A speaker 21 which may be of piezo-electric t...

Abstract

A handheld electronic game comprises a rotational body, an processor, a storage cell for powering the processor, a display screen for displaying images processed by the processor, and a number of keys for providing game-control input to the processor. A generator is electrically connected to the storage cell for applying voltage to and recharging the storage cell. There is also a flywheel rotatably with respect to the body, which is connected to the generator and provides a mass moment of inertia enabling rotation of the body relative thereto during dynamic rotational movement of the body.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to handheld electronic games with a battery recharging function. More particularly, although not exclusively, the invention relates to a handheld electronic game having a display screen and a keypad upon a body within which there is provided a power storage cell and a user-turned generator to charge the cell. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Modern handheld games having a keypad and a display screen are known. Such games can be played for hours on end-leading to eyestrain and other physical and / or sociological maladies due to a lack of motor activity and social interaction on the part of the player. [0003] Such games require disposable or rechargeable batteries. Disposable batteries present a environmental problems resulting from both manufacture and disposal. Rechargeable batteries place present similar environmental problems and in addition place a small demand on the mains grid when they are plugged into a wall outlet for recharging purposes...
