[0132] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the disclosed product is conventionally placed when in use, or are the orientations or positional relationships conventionally understood by those skilled in the art. They are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure.

[0133] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a decryption machine device 10, which is configured to be used by a user to answer a question, which is a preset secret code set. According to one embodiment, the preset secret code set may include multiple secret codes, each secret code is selected from a given code set, and the given code set includes multiple given codes that are different from each other.

[0134] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-3As shown in , 6 and 8-12, the decryption device 10 may include a housing 100, and the housing 100 is used to accommodate, hold, and install other related components. The decryption device 10 may also include a power supply module 200, such as Figure 2-3 As shown in FIGS. 9-10 , the power supply module 200 is configured to supply power to power-consuming components of the decryption device 10 . The power supply module 200 may include a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery. According to one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the power supply module 200 is held by the housing 100 .

[0135] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-2 As shown in , 4-5, the decryption device 10 may further include a code input module 300, which is configured to at least input an answer to a question, the answer to the question is a set of answer codes, the number of answer codes included in the set of answer codes is the same as the number of secret codes included in the preset secret code set, and the answer code is selected from the given code set mentioned above. According to some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the code input module 300 may be disposed on the housing 100 , and electrically connected to the power supply module 200 to be powered by the power supply module 200 .

[0136] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-5 As shown, the decryption device 10 may further include a display module 400, which may include a display unit 401, such as at least one group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 being configured to display a corresponding set of solution codes. Figure 5 In some embodiments, the display module 400 is disposed on the housing 100 and is electrically connected to the power supply module 200 to be powered by the power supply module 200. In some embodiments, the display module 400 is configured to operate in association with the code input module 300. More specifically, the display module 400 is configured to operate in association with the code input module 300 when the code input module 300 is operated to input the answer to the question, so that a corresponding group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 displays the input corresponding answer code and the corresponding answer code set.

[0137] In the sense of the present application, each code including "given code", "secret code" and "answer code" may have "code content", and the "code content" allows the user to identify the corresponding code. "Given code" only includes code content, and does not include the positional order relationship between codes. "Secret code" and "answer code" may only include code content. Additionally, "secret code" and "answer code" may also include the positional order relationship between codes, that is, the positional order relationship between codes in the corresponding "preset secret code set" and "answer code set" has decryption significance; more specifically, in this case, if the code content of the secret code included in each of the two preset secret code sets is the same, but the positional order relationship between the secret codes is different, then the two preset secret code sets are two different preset secret code sets; similarly, if the code content of the answer code included in each of the two answer code sets is the same, but the positional order between the answer codes is different, then the two answer code sets are two different answer code sets.

[0138] According to some embodiments, the code content of a given code in a given code set is represented by at least one of color, number, letter, text, and pattern. Exemplarily but not exclusively, the code content of a plurality of given codes included in a given code set is represented by color, for example, a plurality of given codes can be one of a plurality of colors, for example, each is red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple or other colors; Exemplarily but not exclusively, the code content of a plurality of given codes included in a given code set is represented by numbers, for example, a plurality of given codes can be one of a plurality of numbers, for example, each is one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0; Exemplarily but not exclusively, the code content of a plurality of given codes included in a given code set is represented by letters, each given code can be one of 26 English letters; Exemplarily but not exclusively, the code content of a plurality of given codes included in a given code set is represented by patterns, each given code can be one of a plurality of different patterns. It should be noted that in the sense of this article, a given code set is known in advance by the user, and the given code set includes given codes that can be selected and used or input by the user during the game.

[0139] In addition, in the sense of the present disclosure, a "preset secret code set" is equivalent to a decryption question, that is, the preset secret code set can be preset before the start of a corresponding round or level of the game. According to some embodiments, the preset secret code set is provided by the user who sets the question, that is, by a person, for example, by an opponent in a human-to-human mode. According to some other embodiments, the preset secret code set is preset by the decryption machine device 10 in an automatic manner. In a more specific embodiment, the code contents of the multiple secret codes of the preset secret code set are set to be non-repetitive with each other. In some embodiments, the preset secret code set is set to include 2-8 digit secret codes, preferably 4-6 digit secret codes.

[0140] In the sense of the present disclosure, a "solution code set" is equivalent to a decrypted answer given to a question, and according to different game settings, the solution code set constitutes the correct answer to the corresponding preset secret code set only when the code content or the code content + code position sequence relationship of the solution codes included in the solution code set completely corresponds to the code content or the code content + code position sequence relationship of the secret codes included in the preset secret code set.

[0141] According to some embodiments, Figure 2-7 As shown in Figures 9-11, the decryption device further includes a main control module 500, which can be configured to be connected to the power supply module 200 so as to be powered by the power supply module 200. More specifically, the main control module 500 is configured as a dedicated main control module.

[0142] In some embodiments, the code input module 300 is configured to be in communication connection with the main control module 500, and the display module 400 is also configured to be in communication connection with the main control module 500. More specifically, the main control module 500 can be configured to control the display module 400 to display the entered answer code in response to the code input module 300 operating to enter the answer code, thereby allowing the user to intuitively understand which answer codes have been entered.

[0143] According to some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4-5, each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 may include a plurality of display units 401, and each display unit 401 may include at least one display light element 402. Exemplarily but not exclusively, the display light element 402 may be an LED light. In some embodiments, the color, brightness, and flashing mode of the display light element 402 may be variable. In some embodiments, the display light element 402 is configured to be independently operable relative to other display light elements. Thus, a simple construction of the display unit 401 is allowed, while achieving the variable operability of the display unit 401, so that the operation and function of the decryption device 10 can be expanded as needed through the display unit 401 with a simple structure and reasonable cost. According to some embodiments, each display unit 401 in each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 is configured to be able to display a solution code. Thus, a group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 can display a set of answer codes, thereby allowing the answer code set to be presented in an intuitive manner, satisfying human-computer interaction and user-friendliness requirements. According to some embodiments, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, the display light element 402 is arranged on the circuit board 510 of the main control module 500, thereby allowing full utilization of the space inside the decryption device 10 and eliminating the connecting wires between the display unit 401 and the circuit board 510, thereby saving space and cost and allowing a very compact structure to be formed in a very cost-effective manner.

[0144] According to some embodiments, the preset secret code set does not include the positional order relationship between the multiple secret codes therein; for example, a preset secret code set may be the four numbers 1, 4, 5, and 7, and as long as the answer to the secret code includes multiple answer codes whose code contents correspond to 1, 4, 5, and 7, respectively, the decryption is considered to be successful. For example, in this case, the answer code set consisting of the answer codes 5, 7, 4, and 1 entered in sequence is also considered to be the correct answer. According to other embodiments, each preset secret code set includes the positional order relationship between the multiple secret codes constituting it, that is, at this time, only the answer code set including multiple answer codes satisfying the positional order relationship constitutes the correct answer of the preset secret code set; for example, a preset secret code set may be the four numbers 1, 4, 5, and 7 given in sequence, and then the answer code set satisfying the sequence constitutes the correct answer, that is, the answer code set must include 1, 4, 5, and 7 entered in sequence. According to some embodiments, the plurality of display units 401 of each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 are positioned in sequence, thereby enabling the positional sequence relationship between the plurality of display units 401 of each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 to reflect or present the positional sequence relationship between the plurality of answer codes in the answer code set. This allows the user to determine the positional sequence relationship between the answer codes in the answer code set very intuitively.

[0145] According to some embodiments, the decryption machine device 10 is further configured to provide a comparison result indication about the comparison result between the answer, i.e., the solution code set, and the corresponding question, i.e., the preset secret code set, so as to provide the user with feedback on the answer, guide the user to find the correct answer, improve the human-computer interaction and the fun of the game, and enhance the user experience. According to some embodiments, the comparison result indication includes at least one of the following information: whether the solution code set is consistent with the preset secret code set; the number and / or position of the completely correct solution code included in the solution code set; the number and / or position of the partially correct solution code included in the solution code set; the number and / or position of the wrong solution code included in the solution code set. According to some embodiments, the completely correct solution code is a solution code whose position order and code content both correspond to the preset secret code set; the partially correct solution code is a solution code whose position order does not correspond to the preset secret code set and whose code content is included in the preset secret code set; the wrong solution code is a solution code whose position order and code content do not correspond to the preset secret code set. It should be noted that in the sense of this article, the consistency of the solution code set with the preset secret code set means that the answer is successful.

[0146] According to some embodiments, the display module 400 is configured to provide a comparison result indication of the comparison result between the answer, i.e., the solution code set and the corresponding question, i.e., the preset secret code set, thereby providing the user with answer feedback in an intuitive manner, and facilitating the user to adjust the answer ideas while enhancing the fun of the game and the human-computer interaction. More specifically, the at least one group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 is configured to provide a comparison result indication. More specifically, at least one display light element 402 of each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 is configured to provide the comparison result indication. According to some embodiments, the display light element 402 of each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 is configured to provide a comparison result indication through at least one of the displayed color, brightness, pattern, and flashing mode. Thus, the display unit 401 can display both the answer code and the comparison result between the answer, i.e., the answer code set and the question, i.e., the preset secret code set, so that more functions can be integrated with a minimized number of components, thereby simplifying the structure of the decryption device 10, facilitating a more compact overall structure and further reducing costs. According to some embodiments, the display unit 401 in each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 is configured to simultaneously display the answer code of the answer code set and provide the above-mentioned comparison result indication. For example, the corresponding display light element 402 of each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 can be illuminated to show the answer code, and the display light element 402 can provide the comparison result indication through at least one of color variability, brightness variability, and flashing mode.

[0147] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 may also be configured to compare the input answer code set with the preset secret code set and provide a comparison result.

[0148] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 can be configured to control the display module 400, more specifically the display light element 402 of each display unit 401, to provide a comparison result indication about the comparison result in response to the code input module 300 operating to input the last answer code in the answer code set.

[0149] According to some embodiments, the decryption device 10 may further include a solution result indication module, which is configured to provide a comparison result indication of the comparison result between the answer, i.e., the solution code set, and the question, i.e., the preset secret code set. The solution result indication module may be configured to be electrically connected to the power supply module 200 so as to be powered by the power supply module 200. According to some embodiments, the solution result indication module includes indicator light elements 611, 621. Exemplarily but not exclusively, the indicator light elements 611, 621 may be LED lights. According to some embodiments, the color, brightness, and flashing mode of the indicator light elements 611, 621 may be variable. According to some embodiments, the indicator light elements 611, 621 may be configured to be independently operable relative to other indicator light elements. Thus, a simple construction of the solution result indication module is allowed, while realizing the variable operability of the solution result indication module, so as to be able to expand the indication function of the decryption device through the solution result indication module with a simple structure and reasonable cost as needed. According to some embodiments, the solution result indication module is configured to indicate the comparison result by at least one of the color, brightness, pattern, and flashing mode of the indicator light elements 611, 621. According to some embodiments, the indicator light element is disposed on the circuit board 510 of the main control module 500, thereby allowing full utilization of the space inside the decryption device 10 and eliminating the connecting wires between the indicator light element and the circuit board 510, thereby saving space and cost and allowing a very compact structure to be formed in a very cost-effective manner.

[0150] According to some embodiments, the answer result indication module is arranged to be in communication connection with the main control module 500 , and the main control module 500 may be configured to control the answer result indication module to provide a comparison result indication based on the comparison result.

[0151] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-5 As shown, the answer result indication module may include a first indicator light unit 610 corresponding to each display unit 401 configured to display the answer code, and the first indicator light unit 610 may include the above-mentioned indicator light element, referred to as the first indicator light element 611. Thus, the first indicator light unit 610 can provide a comparison result indication related to the answer code displayed by the corresponding display unit 401 in a very intuitive and clear manner, enhance human-computer interactivity and game convenience, and improve user experience. According to some embodiments, the first indicator light unit 610 is arranged below, above, or beside the corresponding display unit 401, which allows the indication information displayed by the first indicator light unit 610 to be clear at a glance, and to be intuitively distinguished from the information displayed by the display unit 401, while having strong design and manufacturing feasibility and high cost-effectiveness.

[0152] According to some embodiments, the first indicator light unit 610 is configured to: provide completely correct indication information when the answer code displayed by the corresponding display unit 401 is consistent with the position sequence relationship and code content of the secret code in the preset secret code set; and / or provide error indication information when the answer code displayed by the corresponding display unit 401 is not consistent with the position sequence relationship and code content of the secret code in the preset secret code set; and / or provide partially correct indication information when the code content of the answer code displayed by the corresponding display unit 401 is included in the preset secret code set but the position sequence relationship is not consistent with the preset secret code set. According to one embodiment, the completely correct indication information, the error indication information, the partially correct indication information and the answer code input position indication are distinguished by at least one of the different colors, patterns, brightness or flashing modes displayed by the corresponding first indicator light unit 610.

[0153] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 may be configured to control the corresponding first indicator light unit 610 to provide a comparison result indication in response to the code input module 300 being operated to input the last answer code in the answer code set.

[0154] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-5 As shown, the answer result indication module may include a second indicator light unit 620 corresponding to each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, and the second indicator light unit 620 may include an indicator light element, referred to as a second indicator light element 621, and is configured to provide a comparison result indication about the comparison result between the answer, i.e., the answer code set, and the question, i.e., the preset secret code set. According to some embodiments, the second indicator light unit 620 is configured to: provide the number and / or position of the correct code (i.e., the code content included in the preset secret code set) and / or the number and / or position of the wrong code when the position order relationship between the codes is not included; provide the number and / or position of the completely correct answer code, and / or the number and / or position of the partially correct answer code, and / or the number and / or position of the wrong answer code when the position order relationship between the codes is included.

[0155] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-5As shown, each second indicator light unit 620 may include a plurality of subunits 620a, each subunit 620a includes one or more indicator light elements 621, and the plurality of subunits 620a are configured to provide the above-mentioned comparison result indication. According to some embodiments, each subunit 620a of the second indicator light unit 620 is configured to provide a comparison result indication related to an answer code in the input answer code set. More specifically, each subunit 620a of the second indicator light unit 620 can be correspondingly arranged with a display unit 401 in the group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, so that each subunit 620a can provide a comparison result indication related to the answer code displayed by the corresponding display unit 401. According to some embodiments, the plurality of subunits 620a of each second indicator light unit 620 are arranged close to each other. Exemplarily, the multiple subunits 620a of each second indicator light unit 620 are divided into multiple rows and / or multiple columns, more specifically arranged in an array, or other patterns that can provide comparison result indications in an intuitive and clear manner, such as circles. According to some embodiments, each second indicator light unit 620 is arranged near a corresponding group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470. According to some embodiments, each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 is arranged in rows or columns, and the corresponding second indicator light unit 620 is arranged at the end of the row or column, such as the head end and the end. Thus, the second indicator light unit 620 can provide relevant information to the user intuitively and clearly, enhancing user experience satisfaction.

[0156] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 may be configured to control the second indicator light unit 620 to provide a comparison result indication in response to the code input module 300 being operated to input the last answer code in the answer code set.

[0157] In some embodiments, the answer result indication module includes one of the first indicator light unit 610 and the second indicator light unit 620 as described above. In some embodiments, the answer result indication module includes both the first indicator light unit 610 and the second indicator light unit 620 as described above. In some embodiments, the decryption machine device 10 is configured to include multiple game modes. Accordingly, the decryption machine device 10 may also include a game mode selector, which is configured to select a game mode. According to some embodiments, the multiple game modes include a simple mode and an expert mode.

[0158] According to some embodiments, the solution result indication module may be configured to provide a comparison result indication in association with the position order relationship of the solution code in the solution code set, including indicating whether the solution code is a completely correct solution code, that is, indicating whether each solution code is a completely correct solution code; in addition, the solution result indication module may also be configured to indicate a partially correct solution code and / or an incorrect solution code in association with the position order relationship of the solution code in the solution code set. Exemplarily, these embodiments may correspond to a simple mode among multiple game modes of the decryption machine device 10. Thus, the user can very intuitively and clearly determine which display unit 401 of the display units 401 displaying each solution code of the solution code set in a group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 displays what kind of solution code, that is, whether the solution code is a correct or completely correct solution code and / or a partially correct solution code and / or an incorrect solution code, based on the comparison result indication provided by the solution result indication module. According to some embodiments, in the simple mode, only the first indicator light unit 610 as described above is operable. In a specific implementation, the first indicator light unit 610 can be arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the display unit 401 in each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, and especially in position corresponding to the corresponding display unit 401. In the simple mode, human-computer interaction is enhanced, and a relatively clear answering guide can be provided to the user.

[0159] According to some embodiments, the answer result indication module may be configured to give a vague prompt. According to some embodiments, the answer result indication module may be configured to only give the number of completely correct codes and / or the number of partially correct codes and / or the number of error codes in the answer code set, and not give a comparison result indication about a certain answer code in association with the answer code. Exemplarily, these embodiments may correspond to an expert mode among a plurality of game modes of the decryption machine device 10. In some embodiments, in the expert mode, only the second indicator light unit 620 as described above is operable. In the expert mode, the difficulty of solving the problem increases, which can arouse the user's desire for challenge, and further develop the user's intellectual activities, which can help the user form more rigorous intellectual thinking.

[0160] Therefore, the decryption machine device 10 proposed in the present disclosure allows operation in game modes of different difficulty levels, meeting the diverse needs of users while ensuring high cost-effectiveness.

[0161] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-2As shown in Figures 4-5, the display module 400 includes multiple groups of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, and 470, and each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, and 470 is configured to display the corresponding answer code set input. In some embodiments, the multiple groups of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, and 470 are arranged in an array of display units 401, wherein each group of display units is arranged in rows or columns. According to some embodiments, each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, and 470 in the multiple groups of display units is configured to keep displaying the corresponding answer code set after starting to display the corresponding answer code set until the corresponding game session ends, which further enhances human-computer interactivity and allows the user to find the correct answer faster based on the previously input answer code set to complete the question, thereby enhancing the user's interest and experience. According to other embodiments, each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 in the plurality of display units is configured to keep displaying the completely correct code and / or partially correct code in the corresponding answer code set after starting to display the corresponding answer code set until the corresponding game session ends. In some embodiments, the main control module 500 can be configured to control the plurality of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 to keep displaying the corresponding answer code set or the completely correct code and / or partially correct code therein after starting to display the corresponding answer code set until the corresponding game session ends.

[0162] In some embodiments, the decryption device 10 is configured such that the end of the game session corresponds to the occurrence of at least one of the following events: the input answer code set is consistent with the preset secret code set, that is, the correct answer is input and the problem is solved successfully; the same number of answer code sets as the number of groups of the plurality of display units are input; the game time reaches a preset time period, and it can be further configured that the game session automatically ends when the preset time period is reached; the number of times the answer code set is input reaches a preset number. In the sense of the present disclosure, a game session is a "hand" or "level" or "round" of the game, and more specifically, the process of solving a preset secret code set is a game session.

[0163] For example, Figure 1-2As shown in FIG. 4-5, the decryption device 10 can be configured to include seven groups of display units, namely, a first group of display units 410, a second group of display units 420, a third group of display units 430, a fourth group of display units 440, a fifth group of display units 450, a sixth group of display units 460, and a seventh group of display units 470, each group of display units including four display units 401. Of course, the number of groups of display units and the number of display units in each group are exemplary and variable. Exemplarily, the preset secret code set may include a four-digit secret code. Assuming that the game session has not ended when the third answer code set is input, that is, when the third group of display units 430 displays the third answer code set, the first group of display units 410 will continue to display the first answer code set or a part thereof, and the second group of display units 420 will also continue to display the second answer code set or a part thereof; in the subsequent game process, the third group of display units 430 will also continue to display the third answer code set or a part thereof; and so on.

[0164] According to some embodiments, each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, and 470 in the multiple groups of display units can be set to keep displaying the comparison result indication after starting to display the corresponding comparison result indication until the end of the corresponding game session. This allows providing players with clues for reasoning about answers, or retaining records of players' answers to provide references for subsequent answers, thereby further enhancing human-computer interactivity, and allowing users to be guided to find the correct answer and complete the question more quickly based on the previously entered solution code set, thereby enhancing user interest and experience.

[0165] In some embodiments, the main control module 500 can be configured to control a subsequent set of display units to automatically display the completely correct code in the previously input answer code set based on the comparison result. In some embodiments, the completely correct answer code is an answer code whose position sequence relationship and code content correspond to the preset secret code set. For example, Figure 1-2As shown in Figures 4-5, the decryption device 10 can be configured to include the first display unit 410, the second display unit 420, the third display unit 430, the fourth display unit 440, the fifth display unit 450, the sixth display unit 460 and the seventh display unit 470 as described above, and each display unit group can exemplarily include four display units 401. Exemplarily, the preset secret code set can include a four-digit secret code. Assuming that after the first answer code set is input, the comparison result obtained by the main control module 500 is that the second answer code in the first answer code set is a completely correct code, then the main control module 500 can control the second display unit 401 in the second display unit 420 to automatically display the second answer code, and the second answer code remains completely the same as the second answer code in the first answer code set; and so on.

[0166] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 may be configured to activate the next group of display units in response to the submission of a set of answer codes before the corresponding game session ends. The activation of the next group of display units means that the next group of display units may be allowed to operate to provide corresponding display information, including displaying the input answer code in association with the answer code input operation of the code input module. More specifically, before the previous group of display units displays the answer code set, the next group or each subsequent group of display units may be in a waiting state, and more specifically, at this time, the next group or each subsequent group of display units cannot display the input answer code in association with the answer code input operation of the code input module. For example, if Figure 1-2 As shown in Figures 4-5, after the first group of display units 410 displays the first set of answer codes, the second group of display units 420 may be automatically activated so that it can display the input answer code in association with the answer code input operation of the code input module 300, while the third to seventh groups of display units are still in a waiting state.

[0167] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 may be configured to determine whether the currently input answer code is the same as the previously input answer code during the process of the code input module operating to input a set of answer codes. Further, the main control module 500 may also be configured to eliminate the previously input answer code or give an incorrect input indication when determining that the currently input answer code is the same as the previously input answer code, for example, the display module 400 may be controlled to give an incorrect input indication. For example, if Figure 1-2As shown in Figures 4-5, during the process of inputting the first answer code set, if the first two answer codes entered are 1 and 3 respectively, then if 3 is entered when entering the third answer code, the second answer code that has been entered will be eliminated, so the second answer code needs to be re-entered later; alternatively, the main control module 500 will give an incorrect input indication to remind the user that the answer code has been entered incorrectly.

[0168] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 may be configured to control the display module 400 to automatically display at least one automatic answer code set before any answer code set is input via the code input module 300, and control the answer result indication module to provide a comparison result indication of the comparison result between at least one automatic answer code set and a preset secret code set. The automatic answer code set is not an answer code set input by a user. In some embodiments, the automatic answer code set may be an answer code set randomly generated by the main control module 500. More specifically, the main control module 500 may control at least one group of display units to display the automatic answer code set and control the answer result indication module to provide a corresponding comparison result indication at the beginning of the game session. This allows for further improvement of human-computer interaction, helps users break the mindset, further promotes the puzzle function of the decryption machine device, and improves user satisfaction.

[0169] In some embodiments, the first indicator light unit 610 described in any of the above embodiments is configured to keep displaying the comparison result indication after starting to provide the comparison result indication until the corresponding game session ends. This further enhances human-computer interactivity and allows the user to find the correct answer faster based on the comparison result indication of the previously input answer code set to complete the question, thereby enhancing the user's interest and experience. More specifically, the main control module 500 can be configured to control each first indicator light unit 610 to keep displaying the comparison result indication unchanged after starting to provide the comparison result indication until the corresponding game session ends.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second indicator light unit 620 described in any of the above embodiments is configured to keep displaying the comparison result indication after starting to provide the comparison result indication until the corresponding game session ends. This further enhances human-computer interactivity and allows the user to find the correct answer faster based on the comparison result indication of the previously input answer code set to complete the question, thereby enhancing the user's interest and experience. More specifically, the main control module 500 can be configured to control each second indicator light unit 620 to keep displaying the comparison result indication unchanged after starting to provide the comparison result indication until the corresponding game session ends.

[0171] According to some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the decryption device 10 further includes an answer submitter 700, which is configured to submit a set of answer codes. More specifically, after a set of answer codes is inputted via the code input module 300, the answer submitter 700 can be operated to submit the set of answer codes to the decryption device 10. More specifically, the answer submitter 700 can be configured to be connected to the main control module 500 for communication, and the answer submitter 700 can be operated to submit the input set of answer codes to the main control module 500. Thus, the main control module 500 can compare the submitted set of answer codes with the preset secret code set in response to the answer submitter 700 submitting the set of answer codes and give a comparison result. According to some embodiments, the answer submitter can be configured in the form of a button or a touch screen. The answer submitter 700 is more specifically arranged on the housing 100. According to some embodiments, the answer submitter 700 can be configured to be shared with at least a portion of the code input module 300, more specifically shared with the code input unit 320 of the code input module 300 described below.

[0172] According to some embodiments, the first indicator light unit 610 can be set to operate in association with the answer submitter 700, so as to activate or enable the corresponding first indicator light unit 610 to provide a comparison result indication when or after the answer code set is submitted through the answer submitter 700. More specifically, the main control module 500 can be configured to control the corresponding first indicator light unit 610 to provide a comparison result indication in response to the submission of the answer code set, and more specifically, the first indicator light unit 610 can be controlled to keep displaying the comparison result indication before the end of the game session. For example, if the answer submitter 700 is operated to submit a second answer code set, then the first indicator light unit 610 corresponding to the second group of display units 420 will be enabled to provide a comparison result indication about the comparison result between the second answer code set and the preset secret code result; optionally, these first indicator light units 610 will keep displaying the comparison result indication until the end of the game session.

[0173] Additionally or alternatively, the second indicator light unit 620 can be set to operate in association with the answer submitter 700, so that when or after the answer code set is submitted through the answer submitter 700, the corresponding second indicator light unit 620 is activated or enabled to provide a comparison result indication. More specifically, the main control module 500 can be configured to control the second indicator light unit 620 to provide a comparison result indication in response to the submission of the answer code set, and more specifically, the second indicator light unit 620 can be controlled to keep displaying the comparison result indication before the end of the game session. For example, if the answer submitter 700 is operated to submit the second answer code set, then the second indicator light unit 620 corresponding to the second group of display units 420 will be enabled to provide a comparison result indication about the comparison result between the second answer code set and the preset secret code result; optionally, these second indicator light units 620 will keep displaying the comparison result indication until the end of the game session.

[0174] In some embodiments, the main control module 500 can also be configured to control a corresponding group of display units of the display module 400 to simultaneously display the answer code set and the comparison result indication in response to the submission of the answer code set. More specifically, the corresponding group of display units can be controlled to keep displaying a portion of the answer code set indication and / or at least a portion of the comparison result indication before the end of the game session.

In some embodiments, the given code set display unit 480 is configured to include a plurality of given code display lights 481, and each given code display light 481 can be configured to display a given code. In some embodiments, the plurality of given code display lights 481 are arranged in rows and / or columns. In some embodiments, the given code set display unit 480 is configured to display a corresponding preset secret code set at the end of the game session, and more specifically, the main control module 500 can be configured to control the given code set display unit 480 to display a preset secret code set at the end of the game session. This facilitates the user to understand the question and answer information of each game session, allowing the user to quickly master game skills. According to some embodiments, the given code display light 481 is set on the circuit board 510 of the main control module 500, thereby allowing full utilization of the space inside the decryption device 10 and eliminating the connecting wires between the given code display light 481 and the circuit board 510, thereby saving space and cost, allowing a very compact structure to be formed in a very cost-effective manner.

[0176] According to some embodiments, the main control module 500 is configured to provide a preset secret code set. More specifically, at the beginning of each game session, the preset secret code set is automatically provided by the main control module 500.

In some embodiments, the display unit 401 is configured to operate in association with the knob, so that when the knob switches between various gears, the corresponding display unit 401 synchronously displays the answer code corresponding to each gear. More specifically, the knob as the code selection unit 310 may be configured to be connected to the main control module 500 in communication, wherein the main control module 500 may be configured to control the corresponding display unit 401 to synchronously display the answer code corresponding to each gear in response to the knob switching between gears, thereby informing the user of the current option in an intuitive and clear manner.

[0179] In some embodiments, the code input module 300 is also configured to input a preset secret code set. More specifically, the preset secret code set is input into the decryption machine device 10, more specifically, into the main control module 500, through the code input module 300.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned answer submitter 700 may be configured to be shared with the code input unit 320.

[0182] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the code input module 300 described in any of the above embodiments is located in a corner of the housing 100, such as the lower right corner or the lower left corner or the upper right corner, which is convenient for the user to input the answer code while not hindering the user from observing the answer code displayed by the setting display unit 401 and / or the comparison result indication provided by the answer result indication module while entering the answer code.

[0183] According to some embodiments, the decryption device 10 is further configured to provide an input position indication about the input position of the answer code to be input, so as to indicate which position of the answer code in the corresponding answer code set the answer code to be input is. This is particularly applicable to the case where the preset secret code set includes a position order relationship between multiple secret codes.

[0184] In some embodiments, the multiple display units 401 in each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 are positioned in sequence so that the positional order relationship between the multiple display units 401 in each group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 can reflect or present the positional order relationship between the multiple answer codes of the answer code set. More specifically, each display unit 401 in a group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 corresponds to the answer code position of the corresponding position in the answer code set, for example, Figure 5Schematically, a group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 may include a first display unit 401a, a second display unit 401b, a third display unit 401c, and a fourth display unit 401d arranged in sequence, then the input answer code displayed by the first display unit 401a may be the first answer code in the corresponding answer code set, similarly, the input answer code displayed by the second display unit 401b may be the second answer code in the corresponding answer code set, and so on. Thus, the corresponding answer code input position indication can be provided by indicating the position of the corresponding display unit 401 in the group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 to indicate which answer code in the corresponding answer code set the answer code to be input is.

In some embodiments, the answer code input position indication is provided by at least one of the color, brightness, pattern, and flashing mode of the display light element 402 of the corresponding display unit 401. Exemplarily but not exclusively, the corresponding display unit 401 in a group of display units 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 can be set to provide an answer code input position indication by emitting white light or flashing. More specifically, the display unit 401 is configured to have a different working state when displaying the answer code than when displaying the answer code input position indication, so as to facilitate the user to distinguish different indication information. This allows the user to have clear answer code input guidance, and to inform the user in an intuitive way which answer code to enter now. Furthermore, this allows more functionality to be achieved with a reduced number of components, further enhancing human-machine interactivity while promoting overall compactness and further improving cost-effectiveness.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first indicator light unit 610 is also configured to provide an answer code input position indication to indicate which answer code in the corresponding answer code set the answer code to be input is.

In this case, because the display unit 401 is associated with the code input module 300, when a certain display unit 401 is activated, the answer code of the bit corresponding to the display unit 401 is selected, thereby allowing the input of the answer code of the bit. This allows the user to select the input bit intuitively and clearly. More specifically, the bit selector 350 can be configured to be in communication connection with the main control module 500, and the main control module 500 is configured to activate the input of the corresponding bit of the answer code in response to the input bit selection operation of the bit selector 350. More specifically, the code input module 300 is configured to be able to operate in association with the activated display unit 401, so that when the answer code is input using the code input module 300, the activated display unit 401 displays the input answer code, or the input answer code covers the answer code previously displayed by the activated display unit 401, and the latter case is also reset The answer code allows the user to freely change the answer code that has been entered, adjust the answer to the question, and enhance the fun of the game.

The selector 800 can be used, for example, for a gaming machine including multiple gaming states or modes to select a gaming state or mode. According to some embodiments, the selector 800 can be configured to be rotatable relative to the housing 100 of the gaming machine, and more specifically, configured to be rotatable relative to the housing 100 between at least two functional positions, each of which can correspond to a state (e.g., power off, power on) or a gaming mode of the gaming machine.

[0201] In some embodiments, the selector 800 may include a knob 810 that is configured to be rotatable relative to the housing 100 between at least two functional positions. Figure 9-10 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with one of the mounting shaft 110 or the mounting hole, and the knob member 810 may be provided with the other of the mounting shaft or the mounting hole 811, and the knob member 810 is rotatably provided on the housing 100 via the cooperation between the mounting shaft 110 and the mounting hole 811. According to some embodiments, the selector 800 may further include a positioning structure, and the positioning structure is used to position the knob member 810 at various positions. In some embodiments, the positioning structure may include an elastic member 820 connected to the knob member 810 and a positioning member 830 connected to the elastic member 820, and the elastic member 820 is, for example, configured to be respectively connected to the knob member 810 and the positioning member 830 at two opposite ends. The positioning member 830 is optionally provided integrally with the elastic member 820. The elastic member 820 is illustratively a compressible spring. A mating positioning structure that cooperates with the positioning member 830 may be provided on the housing 100 of the game console. According to one embodiment, as Figure 9-10 As shown, the matching positioning structure includes a positioning plate 120, and at least two positioning recesses 121, 122, 123 may be provided on the positioning plate 120, and each positioning recess 121, 122, 123 is provided corresponding to a functional position of the selector 800. More specifically, when the knob member 810 is located at a certain functional position, the positioning member 830 is located in the corresponding positioning recess 121, 122, 123. More specifically, when the knob 810 is not in any functional position, the positioning member 830 abuts against the positioning plate 120 and the elastic member 820 is compressed between the positioning member 830 and the knob 810; as the knob 810 rotates, the knob 810 rotates with the elastic member 820 and the positioning member 830, and when it rotates to the functional position, as the positioning member 830 moves to the positioning recesses 121, 122, 123, the elastic member 820 applies a certain elastic urging force to press the positioning member 830 into the positioning recesses 121, 122, 123, thereby giving the user a sense of touch so that the user knows that the knob 810 is now in the functional position, and the knob 810 can be positioned in the functional position. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1-11 As shown, the positioning member 830 is configured as a spherical member, such as a steel ball.

[0202] According to some embodiments, the selector 800 is further provided with a functional position identification member, which is connected to the knob member 810 so as to be movable with the knob member 810 and used to provide a functional position indication about the functional position to allow the user to clearly know which functional position is currently in.

[0203] In some embodiments, Figure 7 , 9 As shown in Figures 10 and 10, the knob member 810 may also be provided with a first limiting portion 840 and a second limiting portion 850, and the first limiting portion 840 and the second limiting portion 850 are configured to respectively limit the first rotation end position and the second rotation end position of the knob member 810, and the first rotation end position and the second rotation end position correspond to a functional position respectively. The knob member 810 is configured to be rotatable between the first rotation end position and the second rotation end position. More specifically, the housing 100 is further provided with a first matching limiting portion 140 and a second matching limiting portion 150, which respectively cooperate with the first limiting portion 840 and the second limiting portion 850 to achieve limiting. According to one embodiment, each of the first limiting portion 840 and the second limiting portion 850 is configured as a protrusion of the knob member 810.

[0204] In some embodiments, the knob 810 can be arranged to be rotatable between three functional positions relative to the housing 100, and the three functional positions are respectively the off position, the first game mode position, and the second game mode. More specifically, the positioning plate 120 of the housing 100 can be provided with a first positioning recess 121 corresponding to the off position, a second positioning recess 122 corresponding to the first game mode, and a third positioning recess 123 corresponding to the third game mode. In the off position, the positioning member 830 is received in the first positioning recess 121; in the first game mode position, the positioning member 830 is received in the second positioning recess 122; and in the second game mode position, the positioning member 830 is received in the third positioning recess 123.

[0205] In some embodiments, Figure 6-12 As shown, the functional position identification member includes a first arm 870 and a second arm 880 connected to the knob member 810 and protruding relative to the knob member and capable of rotating with the knob member 810. According to one embodiment, when the knob member 810 is in the off position, as shown in FIG. Figure 8-9 As shown, the first arm 870 and the second arm 870 are stored or hidden inside the housing 100, thereby indicating that the device is currently in the off state; when the knob 810 is in the first game mode position, as shown in FIG. Figure 10-11 As shown, the first arm 870 extends out of the housing 100, thereby indicating that the first game mode is currently in progress; according to a specific embodiment, the first game mode may be a human-machine game mode or a single-player game mode, and thus, only the first arm 870 extending out of the housing 100 can indicate the current game mode in an intuitive manner; when the knob 810 is in the second game mode position, as shown Fig.12As shown, the first arm 870 and the second arm 880 are both extended out of the housing 100, thereby indicating that the second game mode is currently in progress; according to a specific embodiment, the second game mode may be a player-versus-player mode, and thus, the current game mode is intuitively indicated by both arms being extended out of the housing 100. Figure 6-12 As shown, the first arm 870 and the second arm 880 may be provided with an indicator, which may also be used to indicate the current state or game mode. More specifically, the indicator may be provided as signal lights 871, 881, and the states of the signal lights 871, 881 may be used to indicate the game state or mode. More specifically, the signal lights 871, 881 may be operated independently of each other and their colors, brightness, flashing modes, etc. may be changed to provide corresponding indication information. Exemplarily, when the knob member 810 is in the first game mode position, the signal light 871 on the first arm 870 is lit; when the knob member 810 is in the second game mode position, the signal lights 871, 881 on the first arm 870 and the second arm 880 are both lit. Exemplarily, the signal lights 871 and 881 can also be configured to indicate the current game state. For example, if the signal lights 871 and 881 are yellow, it indicates that the game is currently in the question-posing sub-session; if the signal lights 871 and 881 are blue, it indicates that the game is currently in the question-answering sub-session; if the signal lights 871 and 881 are green, it indicates that the corresponding party wins; if the signal lights 871 and 881 are red, it indicates that the corresponding party loses. In some embodiments, the signal lights 871 and 881 are configured to communicate with the main control module 500 so that they can be controlled by the main control module 500.

[0206] In some embodiments, the selector 800 may further include a functional position sensing component, which is configured to generate a sensing signal, and the sensing signal may be sent to the main control module 500 of the game console, so that the main control module 500 may activate a corresponding game state or mode based on whether the sensing signal is received or the corresponding sensing signal is received. According to some embodiments, the functional position sensing component may include a first sensing member and a second sensing member disposed at at least one functional position, and the first sensing member and the second sensing member may sense each other to generate a sensing signal. The first sensing member is configured to be able to rotate with the knob member 810, so that when the knob member 810 is in a functional position where the second sensing member is disposed, the first sensing member may sense each other with the second sensing member in the functional position and generate a sensing signal. In some embodiments, as Figure 9-11As shown, the first sensing member is configured as a magnet 891 fixed relative to the knob member 810, and the second sensing member includes a first Hall magnetic sensor 892 and a second Hall magnetic sensor 893 respectively arranged at the first game mode position and the second game mode position. Thus, when the knob member 810 is in the off position, the magnet 891 cannot sense each other with the first Hall magnetic sensor 892 or the second Hall magnetic sensor 893, so no sensing signal is generated, and the main control module 500 is configured to put the decryption device 10 into the off state at this time; when the knob member 810 is in the first game mode position, the magnet 891 can sense each other with the first Hall magnetic sensor 892 in the first functional position to generate a first sensing signal, and the main control module 500 controls the decryption device 10 to enter the first game mode based on the reception of the first sensing signal; when the knob member 810 is in the second game mode position, the magnet 891 can sense each other with the second Hall magnetic sensor 893 in the second functional position to generate a second sensing signal, and the main control module 500 controls the decryption device 10 to enter the second game mode based on the reception of the second sensing signal. According to some embodiments, the second induction element may be directly disposed on the circuit board 510 of the main control module 500 .

[0207] According to some embodiments, in the off position, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second arm 880 is arranged to abut against the retaining portion 180 on the housing 100, thereby further ensuring that the knob member 810 is firmly retained in the off position.

[0208] According to some embodiments, the decryption device 10 may include the above selector 800. It should be noted that although the above selector 800 proposed in the present disclosure is proposed in combination with the decryption device 10 proposed in the present disclosure, it is obvious that the selector 800 can be applied to the mode selection of any device as long as there are no technical obstacles.
