[0022] The handheld device 10 , the controller 11 , the sensor 12 , the prompter 13 , the prompt element 131 , and the housing 14 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a handheld device 10 according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 The handheld device 10 of some embodiments of the present application includes a controller 11, a sensor 12 and a prompter 13. Optionally, the handheld device 10 also includes a memory, which can be an independent memory or can be set on the controller 11.

[0025] The controller 11, the sensor 12 and the prompter 13 can all be installed in the housing 14 of the handheld device 10. The handheld device 10 can be held by the player and placed, rotated, etc. Figure 3 , Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of a use scenario of a handheld device 10 according to some embodiments of the present application. The auxiliary props and the handheld device 10 are used as props for a tabletop game for players to play the game. The auxiliary props include a first prop 20 and a second prop 30. The first prop 20 is provided with a plurality of first parking positions 21, and the plurality of first parking positions 21 can be used to park a plurality of second props 30. Each first parking position 21 can only park one second prop 30 at the same time. The second prop 30 is provided with a second parking position 31 and a label (i.e., the associated information for indicating the feature to be detected below) for the sensor 12 to sense. The handheld device 10 can be parked on the second parking position 31, and the feature to be detected corresponding to the second prop 30 can be obtained by sensing the label on the second prop 30 by the sensor 12. When using, the player can first put the second prop 30 into the parking position on the first prop 20, and then put the handheld device 10 into the first prop 20, so that the sensor 12 can sense the feature to be detected on the second prop 30. In one example, the tag may be an OID (Optical Identification) code, and the sensor 12 may be an optical sensor, which can obtain the feature to be detected by scanning the OID code. In another example, the tag may be a passive electronic tag, such as an RFID magnetic card, and the sensor 12 may be a card reader, which can obtain the feature to be detected through near-field coupling between the card reader and the RFID magnetic card. In other embodiments, the tag may also be one or more of OCR, QR code, barcode, and image, which are not limited here.

[0026] The specific game play is as follows:

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3 The controller 11 is used to generate target information, which includes multiple target features and sorting information of the multiple target features. The sensor 12 is used to obtain information to be inspected, which includes multiple features to be inspected and sorting information of the multiple features to be inspected, and the number of features to be inspected is the same as the number of target features. The prompter 13 is used to send a prompt signal according to the matching degree between the information to be inspected and the target information.

[0028] The target feature can be at least one of color, shape, letter, number, and Chinese character, and correspondingly, the feature to be detected can also be at least one of color, shape, letter, number, and Chinese character, without limitation. In the embodiment of the present application, the target feature is color, and correspondingly, the feature to be detected is also color, and correspondingly, the label on the second prop 30 can indicate the color represented by the second prop 30.

[0029] In one example, R represents red, G represents green, B represents blue, Y represents yellow, and P represents purple. During the game, the controller 11 first generates target information for the current round of the game, such as R→G→B, that is, there are three target features, namely R, G, and B, and the order of the three target features is R first, G second, and B third.

[0030] Then, the player selects three second props 30 from the plurality of second props 30 according to his own judgment, and puts them into any three first parking positions 21 of the first prop 20 respectively. Then, the player puts the handheld device 10 into the three second parking positions 31 of the three second props 30 in turn. Every time the handheld device 10 is put into a second parking position 31, the sensor 12 acquires the features to be detected. When the sensor 12 acquires all the features to be detected, the sensor 12 determines the sorting information according to the acquisition order of the plurality of features to be detected. For example, assuming that the three second props 30 selected by the player are red props, yellow props, and purple props, the player puts the red second props, the yellow second props, and the purple second props into the three first parking positions 21 respectively. Afterwards, the player places the handheld device 10 in the second parking position 31 of the red second prop, the second parking position 31 of the purple second prop, and the second parking position 31 of the yellow second prop in turn. The three features to be inspected sensed by the sensor 12 are R, Y, and P, respectively. The sorting information of the three features to be inspected is R first, P second, and Y third. Then, the information to be inspected obtained by the sensor 12 is R→P→Y.

[0031] After the sensor 12 obtains the information to be inspected, the sensor 12 may send the information to be inspected to the controller 11. The controller 11 compares the information to be inspected with the target information to obtain a matching result, and controls the prompter 13 to send a corresponding prompt signal based on the matching result. Among them, the prompter 13 may include a plurality of prompt elements 131, each prompt element 131 corresponds to a set of corresponding target features and features to be inspected, and the prompt element 131 will make corresponding prompts according to the matching results of its corresponding target features and features to be inspected. The prompt element 131 can be at least one of a voice prompt, a light prompt, and a text prompt, which is not limited here. For example, the target information in this round of the game is R→G→B, and the information to be checked is R→P→Y, then the degree of matching between the two is: there is a group of target features and features to be checked that match in type and order, namely, the first target feature R and the first feature to be checked R, at this time, the corresponding prompt element 131 will send out a corresponding prompt signal; there are two groups of target features and features to be checked that do not match in type and order, namely, the second target feature G and the second feature to be checked P, the third target feature B and the third feature to be checked Y, at this time, the two corresponding prompt elements 131 respectively send out corresponding prompt signals.

[0032] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of prompt elements 131 can also be one, and this one prompt element 131 can send out corresponding multiple prompt signals based on the matching results of multiple groups of target features and corresponding features to be detected, or can send out a total prompt signal based on the matching results of multiple groups of target features and corresponding features to be detected.

[0033] It should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present application, the matching method between the target feature and the feature to be inspected is: color matching first, then order matching. For example, assuming that the target information is R→G→B, and the information to be inspected is R→B→Y, the controller 11 first performs color matching on the three features to be inspected R, B, and Y in the information to be inspected and the three target features R, G, and B in the target information, and then performs order matching, thereby obtaining three groups of matching results: the first target feature R matches the first feature to be inspected R in both type and order, the second target feature G does not match the third feature to be inspected Y in both color and order, and the third target feature B matches the second feature to be inspected B in color but not in order.

[0034] In the handheld device 10 of the implementation mode of the present application, the controller 11 in the handheld device 10 can generate target information, the sensor 12 in the handheld device 10 can be used to obtain the information to be inspected, the controller 11 can compare the information to be inspected with the target information to obtain a matching result, and control the prompter 13 to make corresponding signal prompts based on the matching result. During the entire game process, there is no need to select players as referees for comparison and judgment. All players can deeply participate in the tabletop game, which improves the participation and fun of the game and provides a better user experience for players.

[0035] In some embodiments, after the controller 11 in the handheld device 10 generates the target information, the information to be inspected acquired by the sensor 12 for the first time completely matches the target information, at which time the prompter 13 does not make any signal prompts, the controller 11 regenerates new target information, and matches it again with the information to be inspected acquired by the sensor 12 to obtain a matching result, and controls the prompter 13 to make corresponding signal prompts based on the matching result between the information to be inspected and the new target information. In another embodiment, after the controller 11 in the handheld device 10 generates the target information, the information to be inspected acquired by the sensor 12 for the first time has a high degree of matching with the target information, at which time the prompter 13 does not make any signal prompts, the controller 11 regenerates new target information, and matches it again with the information to be inspected acquired by the sensor 12 to obtain a matching result, and controls the prompter 13 to make corresponding signal prompts based on the matching result between the information to be inspected and the new target information. For example, assuming that the target information is R→G→B, the information to be checked is R→G→B, and the controller 11 regenerates new target information Y→P→R, the controller 11 matches the three features to be checked R, G, B in the information to be checked with the three target features Y, P, R in the new target information by color, and then matches them in sequence, thereby obtaining three sets of matching results. In this way, it is possible to prevent players from ending the game quickly, further improve the participation and fun of the game, and provide players with a better user experience.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the sensor 12 is used to obtain identification information corresponding to the current position of the handheld device 10; the controller 11 is used to generate the target information when the identification information is the preset first identification information.

[0037] Specifically, among the multiple first parking positions 21 of the first prop 20, a characteristic parking position can be set, and the characteristic parking position has a preset first identification information. When the handheld device 10 is placed in the characteristic parking position, the sensor 12 obtains the first identification information, and it is considered that the player wants to start the game. Subsequently, the controller 11 can generate target information to facilitate the determination of whether it matches in the game. Through this setting, when the player wants to start the game, he can move the handheld device 10 to the above-mentioned characteristic parking position, and the game can be automatically started without the host manually setting the target information.

[0038] Please combine Figure 1In some embodiments, the prompter 13 includes a plurality of prompt elements 131, and the number of prompt elements 131 is greater than or equal to the number of target features. When issuing a prompt signal based on the matching degree between the information to be inspected and the target information, the prompter 13 is used to: for each set of features to be inspected and target features that match in kind but do not match in order, one prompt element 131 issues a first prompt signal; for each set of features to be inspected and target features that match in kind and order, one prompt element 131 issues a second prompt signal; for each set of features to be inspected and target features that do not match in kind and order, one prompt element 131 issues a third prompt signal, or does not issue a prompt signal.

[0039] For example, assuming that the target information is R→G→B, the information to be inspected is R→P→Y, the prompt element 131 is an LED light, and three of the LED lights are used for prompts in this round of the game, then since the first target feature R matches the type and order of the first feature to be inspected R, the corresponding LED light sends a second prompt signal, for example, the LED light is always on; since the second target feature G does not match the type and order of the second feature to be inspected P, the corresponding LED light sends a third prompt signal, for example, the LED light flashes; similarly, since the third target feature B does not match the type and order of the third feature to be inspected Y, the corresponding LED light sends a third prompt signal, for example, the LED light flashes.

[0040] For example, assuming that the target information is R→G→B, the information to be checked is R→B→Y, the prompt element 131 is an LED light, and three of the LED lights are used for prompting in this round of the game, then since the first target feature R matches the type and order of the first feature to be checked R, its corresponding LED light sends out a second prompt signal, for example, the LED light is always on; since the second target feature G does not match the color and order of the third feature to be checked Y, its corresponding LED light does not send out a prompt signal; since the third target feature B matches the color of the second feature to be checked B but does not match the order, its corresponding LED light sends out a first prompt signal, for example, the LED light flashes. In this way, the player is indicated the matching result by the difference in the prompt signal sent by the prompt element 131, without the need for additional manual prompts by the host.

[0041] In some embodiments, when a target number of prompt elements 131 all send out the second prompt signal, the controller 11 regenerates new target information, and the target number is the same as the number of target features.

[0042] For example, assuming that the number of target features is three, there should be three corresponding prompt elements 131 for prompting the matching result. If the types and sequences of the three target features and the three features to be checked all match, the three prompt elements 131 will all send a second prompt signal to prompt the player that the match is successful. At this time, the controller 11 can regenerate new target information for the player to continue the game.

[0043] For example, assuming that the number of target features is five, there should be five corresponding prompt elements 131 for prompting the matching result. If the types and sequences of the five target features and the five features to be checked all match, the five prompt elements 131 will all send out a second prompt signal to prompt the player that the match is successful. At this time, the controller 11 can regenerate new target information for the player to continue the game.

[0044] It should be noted that the number of target features of the target information in the previous game may be the same as or different from the number of target features of the target information in the next game. For example, when the three prompt elements 131 all send the second prompt signal, the controller 11 can regenerate new target information. For example, the target features in the new target information can be increased step by step. For example, the target features in the new target information next time can be four. In another example, the target features in the new target information can also be randomly generated, or generated according to preset identification information, again without limitation. In this way, by changing the number of target features in the target information, the difficulty of the game can be changed and the fun of the game can be increased.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, after obtaining the information to be inspected, the sensor 12 is also used to obtain identification information corresponding to the current position of the handheld device 10; when the identification information is the preset second identification information, the prompter 13 sends a prompt signal.

[0046] Specifically, among the multiple first parking positions 21 of the first prop 20, a determination parking position can be set, and the determination parking position has a preset second identification information. When the handheld device 10 is placed in the determination parking position, the sensor 12 obtains the second identification information. At this time, the prompter 13 sends a prompt signal to prompt the player that the target information is being matched with the information to be checked. The prompt signal can be at least one of a light prompt, a voice prompt, and a text prompt, which is not limited here. For example, assuming that the features to be checked in the information to be checked include three, when the handheld device 10 obtains the three features to be checked, the player puts the handheld device 10 into the above-mentioned determination parking position with the preset second identification information. At this time, the sensor 12 in the handheld device 10 senses the second identification information, and the controller 11 controls the prompter 13 to send a prompt signal, for example, the prompter 13 sends a voice prompt signal of "matching". By setting the determination parking position with the second identification information, the player can clearly understand whether the target feature and the feature to be checked are being matched, making the game process clearer.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, after obtaining the information to be inspected, the sensor 12 is also used to obtain identification information corresponding to the current position of the handheld device 10, and the movement information of the handheld device 10 at the current position; when the identification information is the preset second identification information and the movement information matches the preset trigger information, the prompter 13 sends a prompt signal.

[0048] Specifically, after the handheld device 10 acquires all the features to be detected, the player places the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position with the second identification information, and drives the handheld device 10 to perform a preset movement. When the sensor 12 senses the second identification information in the determined parking position and senses the movement information of the handheld device 10, the controller 11 confirms that the player needs to match the target information with the information to be detected, and executes the matching action, while controlling the prompter 13 to send a prompt signal. In this way, by setting the two conditions of identifying the second identification information and sensing the movement information of the handheld device 10 as the triggering conditions for performing the matching of the target information with the information to be detected, it can be avoided that the player accidentally places the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position with the second identification information, resulting in the matching action being triggered by mistake.

[0049] In some embodiments, the motion information includes the angle at which the handheld device 10 is rotated at the current position. When the rotated angle is greater than a preset angle threshold, the motion information matches the trigger information.

[0050] Specifically, when the player places the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position with the second identification information, the player needs to further rotate the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position by an angle that needs to be greater than a preset angle threshold in order to trigger the execution of the matching action and the issuance of a prompt signal indicating that matching is in progress. In order to detect the rotation angle of the handheld device 10, the sensor 12 may include a sensor such as a gyroscope that can measure the rotation angle, which is not limited at this time. The preset angle threshold may be 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, 125 degrees, 180 degrees, 230 degrees, etc., which is not limited here. By stipulating the rotation angle, the matching action can be further avoided from being triggered by mistake.

[0051] In some embodiments, after obtaining the information to be inspected, the sensor 12 is also used to obtain identification information corresponding to the current position of the handheld device 10, and the length of time the handheld device 10 stays at the current position; when the identification information is the preset second identification information and the length of time the stay information matches the preset trigger information, the prompter 13 sends a prompt signal.

[0052] Specifically, after the handheld device 10 acquires all the features to be checked, the player places the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position with the second identification information, and allows the handheld device 10 to stay in the determined parking position for a period of time. When the sensor 12 senses the second identification information in the second parking position 31, and senses that the stay time information of the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position is greater than the preset stay time threshold (i.e., the preset trigger information), the controller 11 confirms that the player needs to match the target information with the information to be checked, and performs the matching action, while controlling the prompter 13 to send a prompt signal. In this way, by setting the two conditions of identifying the second identification information and sensing the stay time information of the handheld device 10 as the trigger conditions for performing the matching of the target information with the information to be checked, it can be avoided that the player accidentally places the handheld device 10 in the determined parking position with the second identification information, resulting in the matching action being triggered by mistake.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, when acquiring the information to be inspected, the sensor 12 is used to acquire the associated information of the features to be inspected one by one, and after the sensor 12 acquires the associated information of each feature to be inspected, the prompter 13 is used to send a fourth prompt signal.

[0054] Specifically, during the game, each time the handheld device 10 is placed in a second parking position 31, the sensor 12 will acquire the associated information in the second parking position 31, so as to identify the associated information to obtain the feature to be detected. After each associated information is acquired by the sensor 12, the controller 11 will control the prompter 13 to send a fourth prompt signal, for example, the prompter 13 sends a voice prompt signal of "scanned". In this way, each time the handheld device 10 is placed in the second parking position 31 to acquire the information to be detected, the prompter 13 will issue a prompt to the player to facilitate the player to know the game progress, greatly improving the player's gaming experience.

[0055] In one embodiment, the handheld device 10 enters the sleep mode after reading the preset sleep identification information. In the sleep mode, the controller 11 of the handheld device 10 no longer performs operations such as feature information determination. When the handheld device receives a wake-up signal, it triggers entry into the restart mode. For example, the wake-up signal may be a change in the light flux received by the sensor 12, or a change in the identification information read by the sensor 12. In another example, the sensor 12 also includes an inertial measurement module, a gyroscope and other components, and the wake-up signal may be the motion information of the handheld device 10 sensed by the sensor 12.

[0056] In another embodiment, after the handheld device 10 reads the preset power identification information, it enters the power display mode, wherein the power can be displayed through the prompter 13. For example, the power is displayed through multiple LED lights of the prompter 13, or the power is displayed through a display screen.

[0057] In some embodiments, the handheld device 10 further includes a communicator (not shown), which is used to communicate with at least one other handheld device 10. After the controller 11 generates the target information, the communicator is used to send the target information to the other handheld device 10; and / or, after the other handheld device 10 generates the target information, the communicator is used to receive the target information.

[0058] In some cases, there may be multiple users, and multiple users can play the same game together in a first prop 20. Each user can use a handheld device 10, and multiple users can compete with each other, for example, alternately placing the features to be detected and sensing them with their respective handheld devices 10 to compete for the speed of matching the target information. In this case, multiple handheld devices 10 need to play games based on the same target information, so the target information can be shared with other handheld devices 10 in the same game through the communicator, and the target information generated by other handheld devices 10 can also be received, so that multiple users can participate in the same game and compete, thereby improving the fun of the game and increasing the number of participants.

[0059] Specifically, the communicator can communicate based on WiFi, Bluetooth, etc., which is not limited here.

[0060] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the handheld device 10 further includes a power supply device. For example, the power supply device may be a removable ordinary battery, an alkaline battery, a rechargeable battery, etc.; in another example, the handheld device 10 is provided with a charging interface (not shown), through which the handheld device 10 can be connected to an external power supply device for charging. For example, the charging interface may be a USB interface, a contact charging interface, a magnetic charging interface, or other suitable power supply interfaces. In another example, the handheld device 10 may also be provided with a wireless charging coil at the bottom to achieve wireless charging.

[0061] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a control method of a handheld device 10 according to some embodiments of the present application. The present application also provides a control method of a handheld device 10, and the control method includes the following steps:

[0062] S1: Generate target information, which includes multiple target features and sorting information of the multiple target features;

[0063] S2: obtaining information to be inspected, the information to be inspected including a plurality of features to be inspected and sorting information of the plurality of features to be inspected, the number of the features to be inspected being the same as the number of target features; and

[0064] S3: Sending a prompt signal based on the matching degree between the information to be inspected and the target information.
