Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power supply control, and in particular to a fire control method and system. Background Art

[0002] In a real-life shooting game, players operate simulated guns that simulate real firearms to compete with other players in a real environment. This allows them to experience the thrill of realistic shooting. In order to achieve a better gaming experience, there are many technologies in the prior art that improve the degree of simulation. For example, Chinese patent document No. CN207445553U discloses a VR / AR game gun that simulates firearm shooting through a laser emitter in a simulation device. Another example is the vibration device in the simulation device that simulates the recoil of a firearm. This raises the degree of firearm simulation to a higher level. Since the laser emitter, vibration device, and other emission devices all require power supply, the power supply requirements are relatively high.

[0003] For another example, Chinese patent publication number CN208710998U discloses a game gun with a detachable power supply. The gun comprises a gun body, a simulation device within the gun body, and a shooting simulation mechanism and a vibration simulation mechanism. The key feature is that the outer surface of the gun body is provided with a power supply device and a power supply interface, and the power supply device supplies power to the simulation device via the power supply interface. The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the power supply device can be easily replaced, maintenance costs can be reduced, the simulation level can be improved, the gaming experience can be enhanced, the manufacturing cost of the game gun can be reduced, and gaming scenarios can be expanded.

[0004] For another example, Chinese patent publication number CN1740732 discloses a light-emitting device that doubles as a power source for a toy gun. The technical problem addressed by this invention is to reduce the cost of electricity required to operate the light-emitting unit while also ensuring that electricity can be supplied to the gun body. The technical solution to this problem is a light-emitting device that is mounted on the gun body and emits light toward a target. The device body includes a power supply unit consisting of a light-emitting unit and a rechargeable battery, as well as a control unit for controlling the light emission. The device body is attached to a selective mounting portion provided on the gun body and secured by means such that the optical axis of the light-emitting unit is substantially aligned with the direction of fire of the gun body. The device body includes connecting terminals that can be connected to terminals on the charger side. These connecting terminals also serve as power supply terminals for supplying power from the rechargeable battery to the toy gun. Furthermore, a male-female mating connecting terminal that connects to the terminals on the charger side can be provided externally.

[0005] However, the above existing technologies all have the following technical deficiencies: due to various irregular operations by the shooting user, the power supply of the shooting equipment used by the shooting user is quickly exhausted, which in turn makes the electric shooting equipment used by the shooting user unable to be used continuously for a long time during the shooting game. The various irregular operations by the shooting user include but are not limited to: the shooting user continues to pull the trigger to shoot after the bullet of the electric shooting equipment used is exhausted, thereby causing excessive consumption / waste of the power supply of the electric shooting equipment; the shooting user continuously pulls the trigger multiple times in a short period of time without any time interval for continuous shooting, thereby preventing the gearbox, which serves as the shooting mechanism, from being fully rested. This practice is very likely to damage the internal mechanical structure of the gearbox and reduce its service life while also causing a large amount of power consumption; the shooting user continues to use the shooting equipment to play the game after being determined to be dead, thereby undermining the fairness of the shooting competitive game, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the deficiencies of the existing technology.

[0006] In addition, on the one hand, there are differences in understanding among those skilled in the art; on the other hand, the applicant studied a large number of documents and patents when making the present invention, but due to space limitations, not all details and contents are listed in detail. However, this does not mean that the present invention does not have the characteristics of these prior arts. On the contrary, the present invention already has all the characteristics of the prior art, and the applicant reserves the right to add relevant prior art to the background technology. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In real-life shooting games, the power of the shooting equipment used by the shooting user is quickly exhausted due to various irregular operations of the shooting user, which in turn makes the electric shooting equipment used by the shooting user unable to be used continuously for a long time. The various irregular operations of the shooting user include but are not limited to: the shooting user continues to pull the trigger to shoot after the electric shooting equipment is exhausted, thereby causing excessive consumption / waste of the power of the electric shooting equipment; the shooting user continuously pulls the trigger multiple times in a short period of time without any time interval for continuous shooting, thereby preventing the gearbox, which serves as the shooting mechanism, from fully resting. This practice is very likely to damage the internal mechanical structure of the gearbox and reduce its service life while also causing a large amount of power consumption; the shooting user continues to use the shooting equipment to play the game after being judged to be dead, thereby undermining the fairness of the shooting competition game, etc.

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a fire control system. The fire control system at least includes: a power supply unit, a control unit and a transmission unit.

[0009] The power supply unit is configured to provide power to the launching device provided in the water gun for operating the launching device.

[0010] The control unit can at least be used to control the connection and / or disconnection between the power supply unit and the transmitting device.

[0011] The transmission unit is configured to at least acquire data information for identifying the user's survival status from other components that are data-connected to the control unit in a wireless transmission manner, and send the data information to the control unit.

[0012] The control unit is configured to control the power supply unit to adjust power supply to the launching device of the water gun based on the data information acquired from the transmission unit.

[0013] The control unit includes at least a processor unit and a switch unit. The processor unit is capable of acquiring the data information and analyzing and processing the data information. The switch unit is capable of at least connecting or disconnecting the power supply unit from the launching device of the water bullet gun. The processor unit is capable of sending a data instruction to the switch unit based on the data information to connect or disconnect the power supply unit from the launching device of the water bullet gun via the switch unit.

[0014] Particularly preferably, the control unit is capable of adjusting / controlling the electrical connection between the power supply unit of the water bullet gun and its corresponding launching device by turning the power supply on and off according to the coordinates of the launching device measured by the direction finding unit arranged at the barrel of the water bullet gun and the distance between the direction finding unit and at least one target drone.

[0015] The processor unit of the target drone being fired at by the water bullet gun can calculate and analyze first data based on vibration data generated by the water bullet fired by the launcher hitting the target drone. The first data includes at least a first azimuth angle of the foreign object that struck the target drone corresponding to the vibration data and a unique identification number of the target drone corresponding to the vibration data. Preferably, the processor unit of the target drone can transmit the first data to the processor unit of the water bullet gun in real time.

[0016] The direction-finding unit provided on the shooting equipment (e.g., a water gun) used by the shooting user is configured to at least record the second data of the direction-finding unit at the muzzle of the shooting equipment of the shooting user when the shooting user shoots, and send the second data to the processor unit of the water gun.

[0017] The water gun's processor unit can acquire the first and second data in real time and analyze and compare them with the first data in real time to determine which user's second data matches the first data. If a user's second data matches the first data, the water gun's processor unit determines that the user corresponding to the second data has used the launcher to hit the target drone. The control unit then disconnects the power supply unit from the water gun's launcher via the switch unit. With this configuration, when multiple users are shooting at one or more target drones, if a user's water gun is locked after firing (i.e., the electrical connection between the power supply unit and the launcher is disconnected), it indicates that the user has hit one or more target drones. In short, the present invention can indicate to the user that their water bullet has hit the target drone by locking the gun (i.e., the control unit disconnects the electrical connection between the power supply unit and the launcher via the switch unit).

[0018] Particularly preferably, the direction-finding unit is also capable of measuring the distance between the direction-finding unit and at least one target drone. Because the varying flight times of the water bullet in the air produce a time delay, and the distances between the multiple direction-finding units and the multiple target drones dynamically change when multiple shooters fire from different positions, the water bullet gun's processor unit can calculate the time the water bullet remains in the air before striking the target drone during each shot by measuring the distance between the direction-finding unit and the target drone and the speed of the water bullet based on the direction-finding unit's measurements.

[0019] For example, when the coordinates of the direction-finding unit of the water gun used by a shooting user are located on the extension line shown by the first azimuth angle of the first data, and / or the coordinates of the canned target machine are located on the extension line of the pointing direction in the second data measured by the direction-finding unit, and when the timestamp of the vibration data is consistent with the timestamp of the shot fired by the direction-finding unit, the processor unit of the water gun determines that the water gun corresponding to the processor unit hits the target machine. It is particularly pointed out that when the processor unit of the water bullet gun compares the timestamp of the current vibration data with the timestamp of the current shot fired by the direction finding unit, it can add the timestamp of the current shot fired by the direction finding unit to the hovering time of the water bullet calculated by the direction finding unit, and then compare it with the timestamp of the current vibration data. This can avoid the time delay caused by the different flight times of the water bullets and the differences between multiple shooters shooting from different positions, which may cause the processor unit of the water bullet gun to be unable to accurately compare the timestamp of the current vibration data with the timestamp of the current shot fired by the direction finding unit. Therefore, the processor unit of the water bullet gun can accurately determine whether the user has hit the target while cutting off the electrical connection between the power supply corresponding to the direction finding unit and the corresponding launching device, thereby promptly informing the user by locking the gun that the water bullet fired has hit the target drone.

[0020] According to a preferred embodiment, the transmission section includes at least a first transmission unit. The first transmission unit can be electrically connected to the processor unit to obtain the data information from other components and send the data information to the processor unit.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment, the launcher of the water bullet gun can be provided with or integrated with a target bullet counting unit. The target bullet counting unit can at least be used to count the remaining bullets in the launcher of the water bullet gun. The target bullet counting unit can transmit the remaining bullets to the processor unit via the first transmission unit in real time.

[0022] According to a preferred embodiment, the processor unit is capable of obtaining the remaining amount of bullets in real time and sending a first data instruction to the switch unit. After obtaining the first data instruction, the switch unit is capable of connecting or disconnecting the power supply unit from the launching device of the water bullet gun.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment, the water gun's launcher is equipped with or integrated with a trigger metering unit. If the water gun's launcher is capable of firing by pulling the trigger, the trigger metering unit can monitor trigger data from the user's trigger pull in real time and transmit the trigger data to the processor unit in real time via the first transmission unit. With this configuration, the control unit can obtain the time the user pulls the trigger in real time via the trigger metering unit to determine whether the trigger pull is a single burst or continuous firing. Furthermore, the control unit can precisely control the power supply to the user's water gun's gearbox, etc., through the switch unit. For example, the power supply to the water gun's gearbox can be controlled by gradually increasing the power supply time interval, thereby precisely adjusting the time interval between the user's continuous firing (i.e., trigger pulls). This can force the gearbox to rest, preventing damage to the gearbox's internal mechanical structure caused by excessive continuous triggering, and also prevent excessive power waste from the power supply unit.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment, the processor unit can obtain the trigger data in real time and send a second data instruction to the switch unit. After obtaining the second data instruction, the switch unit can connect or disconnect the power supply unit to the launch device of the water gun.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment, the other components include at least a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is capable of at least sending a third data instruction to the first transmission unit in a wireless transmission manner. The first transmission unit is capable of acquiring the third data instruction and sending the third data instruction to the processor unit.

[0026] According to a preferred embodiment, the processor unit is capable of acquiring the third data instruction in real time and immediately disconnecting the power supply from the water gun's launcher corresponding to the third data instruction via the switch unit. With this configuration, if the transmission unit is able to acquire the third data instruction from other components, the control unit can, based on the acquired third data instruction, cut off the power supply to the water gun's launcher, thereby achieving precise control of the power supply unit. For example, if a player dies, the launcher's power control can be automatically cut off, ensuring fair competition.

[0027] The present invention also provides a fire control method, the method comprising:

[0028] The power supply unit provides power to the launching device of the water bullet gun;

[0029] The control unit is used to control the connection and / or disconnection between the power supply unit and the launching device of the water bullet gun;

[0030] The transmission unit obtains data information of other components and sends the data information to the control unit;

[0031] The control unit controls the power supply from the power supply unit to the launching device of the water gun based on the data information acquired from the transmission unit. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The following is a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1 A fire control system is shown, which comprises at least: a power supply unit 1 , a control unit 2 and a transmission unit 3 .

[0040] The power supply unit 1 is configured to be able to supply power to the launching device of the water gun.

[0041] The control unit 2 can at least be used to control the connection and / or disconnection between the power supply unit 1 and the launching device of the water bullet gun.

[0042] The transmission unit 3 is configured to at least acquire data information of other components and send the data information to the control unit 2 .

[0043] The control unit 2 is configured to control the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the launching device of the water gun based on the data information obtained from the transmission unit 3 .

[0044] Preferably, the power supply unit 1 can be a rechargeable battery. For example, the rechargeable battery can be a high-current polymer lithium battery. Preferably, the outer surface of the power supply unit 1 can be wrapped with a waterproof shell to achieve the technical purpose of waterproofing and moisture-proofing.

[0045] Preferably, the launching device of the water bullet gun can be at least an electric shooting device. For example, the electric shooting device can be a water bullet gun, etc. Preferably, the launching device of the water bullet gun can also be other devices or components with an electric trigger.

[0046] According to a preferred embodiment, the control unit 2 includes at least a processor unit 201 and a switch unit 202. The processor unit 201 is capable of acquiring the data information and analyzing and processing the data information. The switch unit 202 is capable of at least connecting or disconnecting the power supply unit 1 from the water gun's launcher. Based on the data information, the processor unit 201 is capable of sending data instructions to the switch unit 202 to connect or disconnect the power supply unit 1 from the water gun's launcher via the switch unit 202.

[0047] For example, when the processor unit 201 of the control unit 2 obtains data information including the remaining ammunition and the number of the water gun's firing device from the ammunition detection unit, and analyzes which shooting user / player's water gun has exhausted its ammunition, it then shuts off the power supply to the power supply unit 1 and the firing device (e.g., the gearbox) of the water gun corresponding to that number via the switch unit 202. This configuration allows the control unit 2 to shut off the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the gearbox of the water gun used by the shooting user via the switch unit 202 after the ammunition of the firing device (e.g., the water gun) used by the shooting user has been exhausted, thereby effectively preventing power from being wasted by the power supply unit 1 (e.g., the gearbox of the water gun continues to output power to the gearbox due to the player's continued triggering even after the ammunition has been exhausted). Furthermore, it effectively reduces wear and tear on the gearbox mechanism. This is because firing without adding ammunition can easily damage the gearbox's mechanical structure, thereby shortening its service life.

[0048] According to a preferred embodiment, the transmission unit 3 at least includes a target missile statistics unit 401. The target missile statistics unit 401 can be electrically connected to the processor unit 201 to obtain the data information from other components and send the data information to the processor unit 201.

[0049] Preferably, the second transmission unit can be electrically connected to other components to obtain data information required to be transmitted by other components and send the data information to the target missile statistics unit 401 in a wireless transmission manner. Preferably, the target missile statistics unit 401 and the second transmission unit can be data-connected in a wireless transmission manner.

[0050] According to a preferred embodiment, the water bullet gun's launcher can be equipped with or integrated with a target bullet counting unit. The target bullet counting unit can at least be used to count the remaining bullets in the water bullet gun's launcher. The target bullet counting unit can send the remaining bullets to the processor unit 201 in real time via the target bullet counting unit 401.

[0051] According to a preferred embodiment, the processor unit 201 can obtain the remaining amount of bullets in real time and send a first data instruction to the switch unit 202. After receiving the first data instruction, the switch unit 202 can connect or disconnect the power supply unit 1 from the launching device of the water bullet gun.

[0052] Preferably, the above data information may include but is not limited to: the remaining bullet quantity of the launching device of the water bullet gun counted by the target bullet statistics unit and the timestamp corresponding to the remaining bullet quantity.

[0053] Preferably, the processor unit 201 generates a first data instruction based on the remaining bullet amount and the timestamp, and sends the first data instruction to the switch unit 202 of the power supply unit 1 through the target bullet statistics unit 401, and then the switch unit 202 connects or disconnects the power supply unit 1 with the launching device of the water bullet gun.

[0054] Preferably, the power supply unit 1 is capable of at least acquiring the first data instruction through the transmission unit 3 .

[0055] Preferably, the first data instruction is used to indicate that the power supply unit 1 is connected to or disconnected from the launching device of the water bullet gun through the switch unit 202 of the power supply unit 1.

[0056] Preferably, the launching device of the water bullet gun can be a water bullet gun and a gear box of the water bullet gun. The gear box of the water bullet gun serves as the launching mechanism of the water bullet gun.

[0057] For example, when the control unit 2 obtains the remaining amount of bullets sent by the target bullet statistics unit and determines that the remaining amount of bullets is zero, the first data instruction indicates that the power supply unit 1 is disconnected from the launching device of the water bullet gun through the switch unit 202 of the power supply unit 1; when the control unit 2 obtains the remaining amount of bullets sent by the target bullet statistics unit and determines that the remaining amount of bullets is not zero, the first data instruction indicates that the power supply unit 1 is connected to the launching device of the water bullet gun through the switch unit 202 of the power supply unit 1, so that the shooting user can continue to use the shooting equipment to shoot.

[0058] Preferably, each water bullet gun's launching device (e.g., a water bullet gun's magazine) is provided with a target bullet counting unit. Preferably, the target bullet counting unit can at least be used to count the remaining bullet quantity and timestamp of the water bullet gun's launching device (e.g., a water bullet gun).

[0059] Preferably, the target missile statistics unit can send the remaining missile quantity data to the control unit 2 in real time.

[0060] Preferably, the target bullet statistical unit of each water bullet gun's launching device is provided with a corresponding unique number.

[0061] When the remaining bullet quantity sent by the target bullet statistics unit of the launching device of a water bullet gun obtained by the control unit 2 is zero, the control unit 2 determines that the bullet quantity of the launching device of the water bullet gun (such as a water bullet gun) has been consumed, and sends a first data instruction indicating disconnection of the connection between the power supply unit 1 and the launching device of the water bullet gun to the power supply unit 1 of the shooting equipment corresponding to the target bullet statistics unit, and then disconnects the electrical connection between the power supply unit 1 and the shooting equipment corresponding to the target bullet statistics unit (such as the gearbox of the water bullet gun) through the switch unit 202 in the power supply unit 1.

[0062] When the shooting user reloads, the target bullet statistics unit can record / update the current bullet quantity of the water bullet gun's launching device (such as a water bullet gun) in real time, and can send the remaining bullet quantity data at this time to the processor unit 201 of the control unit 2 in real time.

[0063] After obtaining the updated remaining bullet data, the control unit 2 determines that the bullet amount of the water bullet gun's launching device (such as a water bullet gun) is not zero, and then sends a first data instruction indicating that the power supply unit 1 is electrically connected to the launching device of the water bullet gun to the switch unit 202 of the power supply unit 1 of the shooting equipment corresponding to the target bullet statistics unit, and then the power supply unit 1 and the shooting equipment corresponding to the target bullet statistics unit (such as the gear box of the water bullet gun) are electrically connected through the switch unit 202 in the power supply unit 1, so that the shooting user can continue to use the shooting equipment to shoot.

[0064] Preferably, the bullet quantity detection unit can measure the amount of bullets fired by the number of times the trigger is fired, and then compare it with the pre-supplied power to determine whether the water bullets in the above-mentioned magazine have been consumed.

[0065] Preferably, the processor unit 201 can obtain the data information sent by the ammunition quantity detection unit in real time.

[0066] Preferably, when the processor unit 201 of the control unit 2 obtains data information including the remaining ammunition and the number of the water gun's firing device from the ammunition detection unit, and analyzes which player's water gun has run out of ammunition, it then shuts off the power supply to the power supply unit 1 and the firing device (e.g., the gearbox) of the water gun corresponding to that number via the switch unit 202. This configuration allows, on the one hand, the control unit 2 to shut off the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the gearbox of the water gun used by the shooting user after the ammunition in the firing device (e.g., the water gun) is exhausted, thereby effectively preventing power from being wasted by the power supply unit 1 (e.g., the gearbox of the water gun continues to output power to the gearbox due to the player's continued triggering even after the ammunition is exhausted); and on the other hand, it effectively reduces wear and tear on the gearbox mechanism. This is because firing without adding ammunition can easily damage the gearbox's mechanical structure, thereby shortening its service life.

[0067] Preferably, the processor unit 201 can be disposed in a launching device of the water bullet gun.

[0068] Preferably, the processor unit 201 may also be provided in a mobile terminal 5 capable of data connection with the launching device of the water bullet gun.

[0069] According to a preferred embodiment, the launcher of the water bullet gun is provided with or integrated with a trigger metering unit 402. When the launcher of the water bullet gun is capable of firing by pulling the trigger, the trigger metering unit 402 can monitor the trigger data of the user pulling the trigger in real time and send the trigger data to the processor unit 201 in real time via the target bullet statistics unit 401.

[0070] According to a preferred embodiment, the processor unit 201 can obtain the trigger data in real time and send a second data instruction to the switch unit 202. After obtaining the second data instruction, the switch unit 202 can connect or disconnect the power supply unit 1 with the launching device of the water gun.

[0071] Preferably, the trigger triggering data may include but is not limited to: the start and end time of the user pulling the trigger, the duration of pressing, the frequency of pressing, the force of pressing, etc.

[0072] Preferably, the trigger metering unit 402 can be provided at the trigger of the launching device of the water gun.

[0073] Preferably, the trigger metering unit 402 can monitor the pressing data of the user pulling the trigger in real time.

[0074] Preferably, the pressing data may include but is not limited to: the start and end time of pressing the trigger, the continuous pressing time, the pressing frequency, etc.

[0075] Preferably, the trigger metering unit 402 can send the pressing data to the control unit 2 in real time via the transmission unit 3. Preferably, the trigger metering unit 402 can determine whether the user's trigger pull is a single shot or a continuous shot based on the recorded pressing time analysis.

[0076] Preferably, the control unit 2 can obtain the pressing time in real time and generate the second data.

[0077] Preferably, the second data is used to indicate whether the power supply unit 1 is connected or disconnected with the launching device of the water bullet gun (eg, the gear box of the water bullet gun) through the switch unit 202 of the power supply unit 1 .

[0078] Preferably, when the user pulls the trigger for a duration greater than a second threshold, the control unit 2 controls the switch unit 202 to temporarily cut off the power supply to the power supply unit 1 and the gearbox of the water gun. This configuration further prevents excessive discharge of the power supply unit 1 and waste of electricity.

[0079] Preferably, the second threshold value can be flexibly set according to actual application scenarios. For example, the second threshold value can be set to 0.2 seconds.

[0080] Preferably, the trigger metering unit 402 is capable of monitoring the time the user pulls the trigger in real time to determine whether the user's trigger pull is a single-shot burst or continuous firing. Preferably, when the trigger metering unit 402 monitors the time of a single trigger pull as less than a third threshold, the control unit 2 determines the firing as a single-shot burst. Preferably, when the trigger metering unit 402 monitors the time of a single trigger pull as greater than the third threshold but less than the second threshold, the control unit 2 determines the firing as continuous firing.

[0081] Preferably, if the control unit 2 determines that the trigger pull is a burst, the control unit 2 controls the switch unit 202 to disconnect the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the gearbox of the water gun used by the player at a predetermined time interval. This configuration allows the gearbox of the water gun used by the player to be forced to rest, preventing damage to the internal mechanical structure of the gearbox and shortening its service life.

[0082] Preferably, the control unit 2 controls the switch unit 202 to resume the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the gearbox of the water gun used by the player after the above time interval.

[0083] Preferably, the time interval can be flexibly set based on the actual application scenario. For example, the first time interval can be used between the first and second consecutive shots; the second time interval can be used between the second and third consecutive shots; the third time interval can be used between the third and fourth consecutive shots, and so on. The first time interval can be shorter than the second time interval, and the second time interval can be shorter than the third time interval. For example, the first time interval can be 0.5 seconds. Particularly preferably, the time interval is longer than the duration of a single continuous trigger pull. Through this configuration, the control unit 2 can obtain the time when the user player pulls the trigger in real time through the trigger metering unit 402 to determine whether the player pulls the trigger for a single shot or continuous shooting, and further accurately control the power supply of the power supply unit 1 to the gearbox of the user's water gun through the switch unit 202. For example, the power supply of the power supply unit 1 to the gearbox of the water gun is controlled by gradually increasing the power supply time interval, so as to accurately adjust the time interval of the user's continuous shooting (i.e. pulling the trigger). On the one hand, the gearbox can be forced to rest to prevent the user from continuously pulling the trigger for too long and causing damage to the internal mechanical structure of the gearbox. On the other hand, it can also prevent excessive waste of power from the power supply unit 1.

[0084] According to a preferred embodiment, the other components include at least a mobile terminal 5, and the mobile terminal 5 is at least capable of sending a third data instruction to the target missile statistics unit 401 in a wireless transmission manner. The target missile statistics unit 401 is capable of obtaining the third data instruction and sending the third data instruction to the processor unit 201.

[0085] According to a preferred embodiment, the processor unit 201 can obtain the third data instruction in real time and immediately disconnect the power supply unit 1 from the launching device of the water gun corresponding to the third data instruction through the switch unit 202.

[0086] Preferably, the third data instruction may indicate that the electrical connection between the power supply unit 1 and the launcher of the water gun corresponding to the player should be immediately disconnected. Preferably, the third data instruction may also include the specific number of the launcher of the water gun, which is used by the processing unit to identify in a time-sharing manner which power supply unit 1 and the launcher of the water gun corresponding to the power supply unit 1 should be disconnected.

[0087] Preferably, the target bullet statistics unit 401 of the transmission unit 3 is capable of acquiring a third data instruction from the mobile terminal 5. Preferably, the processor unit 201 of the control unit 2 is capable of acquiring the third data instruction from the target bullet statistics unit 401 and controlling the switch unit 202 to cut off or connect the power supply to the water bullet gun's launcher. With this configuration, if the transmission unit 3 is capable of acquiring the third data instruction from other components, the control unit 2 can, based on the acquired third data instruction, cut off the power supply to the water bullet gun's launcher, thereby achieving precise control of the power supply unit 1. For example, if a player dies, the launcher's power control can be automatically cut off, ensuring fair competition.

[0088] Preferably, the launching device of the water bullet gun may include but is not limited to: a water bullet gun, an air soft gun, etc.

[0089] Preferably, the third data instruction indicates that the control unit 2 cuts off the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the launching device of the water gun.

[0090] Preferably, the transmission unit 3 may include a wireless Bluetooth control unit 2, a wireless radio frequency antenna, and the like.
