[0024] The following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the inventions described in the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily required for the inventions. Any combination of two or more of the multiple features described in the embodiments may be used. Identical or similar structures are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0025] <Appearance structure of performance output toys>

[0026] Reference Figure 1 An example of the external appearance structure of the performance output toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b) shows the front appearance of the performance output toy 100. In addition, arrows x, y, and z respectively represent the left, upper, and front directions of the model toy, and the same applies to the other drawings.

[0027] Figure 1 (a) shows the front appearance of the performance output toy 100 with its lid closed. The performance output toy 100 is configured to include a main toy body 101, a sub-toy body 102, and a belt 103. While the performance output toy 100 of this embodiment is configured as a buckle that can be attached to the belt 103, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be configured as any other toy.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in (b), the main toy body 101 is composed of a cover 110 and a main body 120. The cover 110 can be Figure 1 The closed state shown in (a) is Figure 1The main body 120 is provided with a connection portion for connecting the auxiliary toy body 102. The auxiliary toy body 102 has identification information for identifying the type of the auxiliary toy body, and the auxiliary toy body 102 can be connected to the connection portion provided in the main body 120 in a detachable manner by opening the cover 110 of the main toy body 101. The auxiliary toy body 102 includes a plurality of types, and identification information is assigned to each type. For the identification information, inherent identification information or variable identification information can be used. As described later, the identification information can be identified by a combination of two resistors. Therefore, the inherent identification information means that the two resistors are inherent in the relationship with the type of the auxiliary toy body, and the combination of resistors cannot be changed. On the other hand, the variable identification information means that a structure that can switch the combination of two resistors is introduced and can be switched to multiple combinations for use. The variable structure is not limited. For example, a structure such as one in which three or more resistors are provided in a single secondary toy body and a mechanism, such as a switch, is provided to select the resistor connected to the primary toy body in the circuit. This allows for selective switching of two resistor combinations and connection to the primary toy body. Alternatively, a structure such as two variable resistors whose resistance values ​​can be dynamically changed can be employed. By utilizing this variable identification information, a more diverse performance can be achieved using a single secondary toy body.

[0029] This performance output toy 100 connects a sub-toy body 102 to a main toy body 101, enabling various performance outputs depending on the type of sub-toy body 102. While this embodiment describes an example with a single connecting portion, this is not intended to limit the present invention; a configuration with multiple connecting portions is also possible. In this case, different types of sub-toy bodies 102 can be connected to each connecting portion. Furthermore, the performance output can be varied depending on the combination of the types of sub-toy bodies 102 connected.

[0030] <Detailed link for the secondary player>

[0031] Reference Figure 2 The specific connection of the sub-games according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 (a) and (b) show perspective views of the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102. For ease of explanation, the cover 110 of the main toy body 101 is omitted from the illustration. Specifically, the main toy body 101 is shown in a state where it can be connected to the auxiliary toy body 102, similar to when the cover 110 is open.

[0032] Figure 2(a) shows the state before the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected. The auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the connecting portion 201 from the upper portion of the main toy body 101 in the direction of the arrow. Normally, the connecting portion 201 is covered by the cover 110, so the auxiliary toy body 102 cannot be connected. However, the connection becomes possible by opening the cover 110.

[0033] The connecting portion 201 is a recessed portion formed near the center of the main body 120. A connecting pin such as a pogo pin is exposed at the bottom near the center. By pressing the connecting pin into the protruding portion provided at the bottom of the auxiliary toy body 102, the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102 are electrically connected, and the circuits provided in the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body are connected. Figure 3 The detailed structure of the connection portion will be described later.

[0034] Figure 2 (b) shows a situation where the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101. The main toy body 101 is also provided with an operator 202. The operator 202 is an operator that triggers the output of a performance. In this embodiment, a push button is illustrated as an example. In addition, the operator of the present invention is not limited, and other operators such as an operating lever can also be applied to the present invention. By operating the operator 202 when the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, a performance output can be performed. In addition, it is also possible to switch the type of performance output each time the operator 202 is operated. In addition, a plurality of operators can be provided, and different performances can be output by operating each operator. The performance output is performed by combining various outputs such as sound output from a speaker and light output from a light-emitting portion such as an LED.

[0035] <Structure of the connecting part>

[0036] Reference Figure 3 The detailed structure of the connection portion 201 of the main toy body 101 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 3 (a) is a plan view showing a state where the cover portion 110 of the main toy body 101 is removed. Figure 3 (b) shows an enlarged view of the connection portion 201 . Figure 3 (c) shows a bottom view of the auxiliary toy body 102 .

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the connecting portion 201 is formed near the center of the main toy body 101. A connecting portion 301 is provided near the center of the connecting portion 201. Figure 3 As shown in (b), a connection pin such as a spring pin is provided in the connection portion 301. In this embodiment, three connection pins are exposed. Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1 (c), a convex connection portion 302 is formed on the bottom of the auxiliary toy body 102. The number of connection pins can be changed according to the structure of the circuit formed together with the auxiliary toy body.

[0038] When the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, the connecting pin provided on the connecting portion 301 of the main toy body 101 is pressed into the connecting portion 302 of the auxiliary toy body 102. When the connecting pin is pressed in, the connecting pin is electrically connected to the circuit inside the main toy body 101, and is also electrically connected to the circuit of the auxiliary toy body 102 that is in contact with the connecting pin. Therefore, the connecting portion 302 of the auxiliary toy body 102 is also formed to contain a conductive material. Figure 4 The circuit structures of the main toy body 101 and the sub-toy body 102 will be described later.

[0039] <Circuit Structure>

[0040] Reference Figure 4 The circuit structure of the performance output toy according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 4 The circuit structures of the main toy body 101 and the sub-toy body 102 are shown.

[0041] The main toy body 101 includes a first resistor 401, a second resistor 402, a power supply 405, and voltmeters 407 and 408 as a circuit configuration. Reference numerals 411, 412, and 413 represent connection pins for the connecting portion 301. Voltmeters 407 and 408 are included in an IC 406. IC 406 is an example of identification means for identifying the type of the auxiliary toy body 102 by measuring the voltage at a predetermined position in the circuit. Meanwhile, the auxiliary toy body 102 includes a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404 as a circuit configuration. Reference numerals 421, 422, and 423 represent connection terminals for the connecting portion 302.

[0042] When the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, the corresponding connecting pins 411 to 413 are electrically connected to the connecting terminals 421 to 423. Figure 4 As shown, the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402 of the main toy body 101 are connected in parallel to the power supply 405. When the main toy body 101 and the sub-toy body 102 are connected, a series connection is formed in which the first resistor 401 of the main toy body 101 and the third resistor 403 of the sub-toy body 102 are connected in series to the power supply 405. Furthermore, a series connection is formed in which the second resistor 402 of the main toy body 101 and the fourth resistor 404 of the sub-toy body 102 are connected in series to the power supply 405.

[0043] IC 406 can detect that the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101 by detecting the flow of current through the connecting pins 411 to 413. When the connection of the auxiliary toy body 102 is detected, IC 406 uses a voltmeter 407 to measure the voltage at a measurement point 431, which is divided by the first and third resistors 401 and 403 connected in series. Furthermore, IC 406 uses a voltmeter 408 to measure the voltage at a measurement point 432, which is divided by the second and fourth resistors 402 and 404 connected in series. The voltages at measurement points 431 and 432 can be expressed by the following equation 1.

[0044] Vx=(V×B) / (A+B) (Formula 1)

[0045] Here, Vx represents the voltage at the measurement point, V represents the voltage of the power supply 405, A represents the resistance value of the first resistor 401 or the second resistor 402, and B represents the resistance value of the third resistor 403 or the fourth resistor 404.

[0046] For example, let V be 3V, resistance A be 1Ω, and resistance B be 1Ω. In this case, the voltage Vx at the measurement point is 1.5V. On the other hand, let V be 3V, resistance A be 1Ω, and resistance B be 2Ω. In this case, the voltage Vx at the measurement point is 2V. Thus, according to this embodiment, by changing the resistance values ​​of the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 of the auxiliary toy body 102, the voltage value at the measurement point can be changed, and the type of the connected auxiliary toy body 102 can be identified based on the measured voltage. In other words, according to this embodiment, different types of auxiliary toy bodies can be represented by the combination of the resistance values ​​of the two resistors provided on the auxiliary toy body 102, and the performance output mode can be changed according to the type. Furthermore, the resistance values ​​of the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402 provided on the main toy body 101 are fixed.

[0047] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, two resistors are provided in each of the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102. This is because the IC 406 has a limited number of identifiable resistance values. If only one resistor is used, the number of types of auxiliary toy bodies 102 will depend on this number. Therefore, by using two resistors, the number of identifiable auxiliary toy bodies 102 can be further increased by combining their resistance values. Therefore, while this embodiment shows an example using two types of resistors, it is desirable to vary the number of resistors provided depending on the specific number of auxiliary toy types to be identified. Of course, a configuration using only one resistor is also possible.

[0048] <control structure>

[0049] Reference Figure 5The control structure for controlling the performance output of the main toy body 101 and the sub-toy body 102 according to this embodiment will be described. While the control structure of the sub-toy body 102 is shown here as including an integrated circuit (IC), the present invention also allows the sub-toy body 102 to include a structure without an IC. The sub-toy body 102 without an IC does not include the control structure described below, but rather has only a substrate including the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404.

[0050] The main toy body 101 includes a control unit 501, a storage unit 502, a power supply unit 503, an identification unit 504, an LED group 506, a switch group 507, and a speaker 508 as its control structure. The control unit 501 controls the performance output and includes an IC 406. The storage unit 502 stores performance output data in association with specific identification information of the sub-toy. When the sub-toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, the identification unit 504 measures the voltage at predetermined measurement points 431 and 432 using voltmeters 407 and 408, and identifies the type of sub-toy body 102 based on the measurement results. When performing a performance output, the control unit 501 reads and utilizes the performance output data corresponding to the identified sub-toy body from the storage unit 502. The control unit 501, storage unit 502, and identification unit 504 may be included on the same substrate as the IC 406 or on a separate substrate.

[0051] The power supply unit 503 supplies power to each component from a power source 405, such as a battery, connected to the main toy body 101. The switch group 507 is an operator, including buttons, levers, and switches, such as the operator 202, that triggers a performance output. The LED group 506 is a light-emitting device, including one or more LED elements, used to output a performance. The speaker 508 is a device that outputs sound for the performance output. When the control unit 501 detects operation of any operator included in the switch group 507, it uses at least one of the LED group 506 and the speaker 508 to output a performance.

[0052] On the other hand, in the auxiliary toy body 102, it is possible to Figure 4 Although the structure shown includes a resistor but does not include other devices as a control structure, it may also include other devices (IC, etc.) as a control structure. Figure 5The illustrated sub-toy body 102 illustrates an example in which other devices are included as control components. In this case, the sub-toy body 102 includes a control unit 511, a speaker 512, and an LED array 513. The control unit 511 controls the speaker 512 and LED array 513 in accordance with instructions from the control unit 501. Alternatively, the control unit 511 may not be provided. In this case, the control unit 501 of the main toy body 101 controls the speaker 512 and LED array 513 on behalf of the main toy body 101. Furthermore, a storage unit (not shown) may be provided in the sub-toy body 102 to store performance output data for controlling the speaker 512 and LED array 513. In this case, the control unit 511 reads the performance output data from the storage unit provided in the sub-toy body 102 in accordance with instructions from the control unit 501 to control the speaker 512 and LED array 513.

[0053] <Performance Output Control>

[0054] Reference Figure 6 The following describes the process of performance output control according to this embodiment. The process described below is implemented by, for example, the control unit 501 reading and executing data and programs stored in the storage unit 502. The numbers following S represent the step numbers in this flowchart.

[0055] In S101, the control unit 501 determines whether the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected (mounted) to the main toy body 101. For example, the control unit 501 can detect the attachment of the auxiliary toy body 102 by detecting the current generated by the connection pins 411-413 of the connecting portion 301 being electrically connected to the connection terminals 421-423 of the auxiliary toy body 102. If the attachment of the auxiliary toy body 102 is detected, the process proceeds to S102; otherwise, the determination in S101 is repeated.

[0056] In S102, the control unit 501 uses the voltmeters 407 and 408 of the IC 406 to measure the voltages at the measurement points 431 and 432. Next, in S103, the control unit 501 identifies the type of the attached auxiliary toy body 102 based on the voltage measurement results. Specifically, the control unit 501 uses the voltage values ​​measured at the two locations as search keys to search for auxiliary toy body 102 identifications associated with the measured voltage value pattern, pre-stored in the storage unit 502. If the auxiliary toy body 102 is identified, in S104, the control unit 501 retrieves the performance output data registered in association with the retrieved item in the table.

[0057] In S105, the control unit 501 determines whether an operation of the operating device 202, which triggers a performance output, has been detected. If a performance output trigger is detected, the process proceeds to S106; otherwise, the process proceeds to S107. While the operation of the operating device 202 is used as an example to illustrate the triggering of a performance output, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Operations of other operating devices may also be used, and the attachment of the auxiliary toy body 102 to the main toy body 101 may also be used as a trigger. In S106, the control unit 501 controls the LED group 506 and speaker 508 of the main toy body 101 according to the performance output data acquired in S104 to produce a performance output including at least one of sound output and light output. If the auxiliary toy body 102 includes at least one of the speaker 512 and LED group 513, these may also be controlled to produce a performance output.

[0058] Next, in S107, the control unit 501 determines whether the auxiliary toy body 102 has been detached from the main toy body 101. Specifically, if the current detected in S101 is no longer detected, the control unit 501 determines that the auxiliary toy body 102 has been detached from the main toy body 101. If it has been detached, the process in this flowchart ends. On the other hand, if it has not been detached, the process returns to S105. Thereafter, when a new operation is performed, a performance output corresponding to the operation and the type of auxiliary toy body 102 is performed.

[0059] <Resistors List>

[0060] Reference Figure 7 A table defining the types of resistors and their combinations according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 7 (a) shows a table defining types of resistors. Figure 7 (b) shows a table defining measurement value patterns and performance output data corresponding to combinations of resistors.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown in (a), this embodiment utilizes multiple resistors with different resistance values, for example, 16 types of resistors. Each resistor has a different resistance value. For example, when using 16 types of resistors, only 16 different measurement modes can be recognized if only one resistor is provided in the auxiliary toy body 102. However, in this embodiment, two resistors are provided in the auxiliary toy body 102, so 16×16, or 256 different, measurement modes corresponding to the measurement points can be recognized. This enables a more diverse performance output.

[0062] Storage unit 502 stores table 710. Table 710 defines combinations 703 of two resistors installed in auxiliary toy body 102, two measurement voltage patterns 704 for measurement values, and identification information 705 for performance output data, all associated with their types. Table 710 omits some of the data, but up to 256 types of data can be defined. Furthermore, the two resistors installed in auxiliary toy body 102 can have the same or different resistance values. Alternatively, one resistor can be set to 0Ω. In this case, that resistor is omitted. Furthermore, using resistor ID 001 for third resistor 403 and resistor ID 002 for fourth resistor 404 can be identified as different patterns from using resistor ID 002 for third resistor 403 and resistor ID 001 for fourth resistor 404. The measurement voltage pattern 704 is omitted here as "pattern 0001," but actually registers voltage values ​​at two measurement points. Therefore, the control unit 501 can identify the auxiliary toy body 102 based on the pattern of the voltage values.

[0063] Identification unit 504 measures the voltages at the two measurement points using voltmeters 407 and 408, and transmits its measured voltage pattern 704 to control unit 501. Control unit 501 refers to identification information 705 of the corresponding performance output data according to the transmitted measured voltage pattern 704, and retrieves the corresponding performance output data from storage unit 502 according to identification information 705.

[0064] <Detailed structure of the sub-game>

[0065] Reference Figure 8 A structural example of the auxiliary toy body 102 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 8 (a) shows the specific structure of the sub-player with IC. Figure 8 (b) shows the detailed structure of the sub-player without IC.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown in (a), the auxiliary toy body 102 with IC includes a control unit 511 including IC, a speaker 512 and an LED group 513. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 5( b ), the IC-less auxiliary toy body 102 does not include the control unit 511 , and only the substrate including the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 is electrically connected to the connecting portion 302 .

[0067] When outputting a performance, if the sub-toy body 102 is equipped with an IC, the control unit 501 not only controls the LED group 506 and speaker 508 of the main toy, but also controls the LED group 513 and speaker 512 provided on the sub-toy body 102 via the control unit 511. On the other hand, if the sub-toy body 102 is equipped without an IC, the control unit 501 only controls the LED group 506 and speaker 508 of the main toy when outputting a performance. This allows for a variety of control options depending on the presence or absence of an IC, enabling a wider range of performances.

[0068] As described above, the performance output toy 100 of this embodiment includes a main toy body 101 and a sub-toy body 102 that has identification information and is connectable to the main toy body. The main toy body 101 includes a power supply, a first resistor, and a second resistor, the first resistor and the second resistor being connected in parallel to the power supply. The main toy body 101 measures the voltage at a predetermined position in the circuit formed when the sub-toy body is connected, identifies the sub-toy body based on the measured value, and outputs a performance based on the identification. The sub-toy body 102 includes a third resistor that is connected in series with the first resistor when the sub-toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body, and a fourth resistor that is connected in series with the second resistor when the sub-toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body. This allows for identification of a wider variety of sub-toy bodies with a simple configuration. Thus, according to this embodiment, a new structure for realizing performances in performance output toys can be provided.

[0069] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention. For example, the shape of the performance output toy is not limited to a buckle mounted on a belt, and includes other decorative items and various shapes.
