[0018] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0019] Example: The present invention provides an entertainment points device, including a host 1. The host 1 has a clear key 101, a contribution key 102, a confirmation key 103, a return key 104 and a details key 105 on its surface. The host 1 also has a digital display screen 106 for displaying points on its surface.
[0020] The main unit 1 is also provided with a directional key 107 for controlling the integration transmission on its surface. Multiple integrator wired connection interfaces 108 are provided on one side of the main unit 1. A power supply compartment 109 for inserting batteries is provided at the bottom of the main unit 1.
[0021] The host 1 can be divided into two panel areas: an operation panel and a display panel. The operation panel area includes a clear button 101, a contribution button 102, a confirmation button 103, a return button 104, a details button 105, and directional keys 107 for controlling the transfer of integrals. The display panel area is a digital display screen 106.
[0022] The control panel area is not limited to physical buttons; it can also be replaced by an LCD touchscreen, with the same functions.
[0023] Reset button 101: Press and hold for 3 seconds to reset the current scores of all participants (a second confirmation pop-up is required);
[0024] Contribution key 102: Activates "Manual Scoring Mode" with a single trigger. After selecting the target participant using the arrow keys 107, press the confirmation key 103 to input the score (supports quick addition and subtraction of ±1 / ±5 / ±10).
[0025] Confirmation key 103: Submit the current operation (such as scoring input, rule confirmation);
[0026] Back button 104: Cancels the current operation or returns to the previous menu;
[0027] Details key 105: View single game / history (press arrow key 107 to turn pages);
[0028] Digital display screen 106: Dual-zone display - the top displays the name of the current participant (scrolling display), and the bottom displays the real-time score (dynamic flashing numbers).
[0029] The main unit 1 is also provided with a directional key 107 for controlling the integration transmission on its surface. Multiple integrator wired connection interfaces 108 are provided on one side of the main unit 1. A power supply compartment 109 for inserting batteries is provided at the bottom of the main unit 1.
[0030] Directional keys 107: A circular three-way key (up, left, and right respectively), used to select the direction for integral adjustment.
[0031] Interface 108 mainly enables multiple interconnections of host 1, and can connect to other scoring hosts 1. Power supply compartment 109 will not be at risk of data loss due to power failure.
[0032] Each integrator host is wirelessly or wiredly connected to multiple other integrator hosts 1. Each integrator has a corresponding function button, and each of the three directional keys 107 is connected to another integrator, so that the connected integrator hosts 1 are combined into a complete scoring device. The number of users depends on the actual number of users. Press the left directional key 107 to input the corresponding points, press the confirmation key 103, and the left integrator will receive the signal. Press the confirmation key 103, and the left integrator will receive the transmitted points.
[0033] The specific operating procedure for this device is as follows:
[0034] 1. Power on: ON / OFF button
[0035] 2. After powering on, the screen displays full image for 2 seconds. Check the screen for any missing images.
[0036] 3. Box identity setting and team formation
[0037] a. Stickers labeled "East", "South", "West" and "North" are included with the box. Place these stickers on the corresponding positions of the mahjong machine.
[0038] b. Press and hold the "East", "South", "West" and "North" buttons on the box for 3 seconds to set the box name.
[0039] c. The four boxes are designated as "East", "South", "West" and "North" respectively. The box names are displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. For example, "East" represents the "East" box.
[0040] d. Everyone sits on the corresponding position on the mahjong table according to the position shown on the box. For example, the box with the "East" sign is placed on the mahjong table in the "East" position.
[0041] e. When changing positions, you need to reset the box name. For example, if the "East" box is moved to the West position, press and hold the "West" button for 3 seconds to change the box name to "West", which will be displayed in the upper left corner. The location display of the box that was previously "West" will disappear, and you need to press and hold the location button again to rename it. For example, press and hold the "East" button to rename it to "East".
[0042] f. The system automatically sets the "East" box as the master and the other boxes as slaves. All slaves must be connected to the master. Slaves communicate and exchange data with each other through the master. The master set at the beginning will remain the master and will remain the master even after the position is changed and the orientation is reset. The master status will be canceled and the initial setting will be restored after the system is reset and the team is disbanded.
[0043] g. During the team formation process, the corresponding location is displayed for each box added. At the same time, the system times out for 15 seconds. If no new box is added within 15 seconds, the team formation is successful. The location of the box that joined the team will flash three times to indicate that the team formation is complete. At this time, the box only displays its own location. The boxes that have been assigned a location form a local area network and do not communicate with other boxes.
[0044] h. All boxes have the same initial identity. The system is set so that Bluetooth connections can only be made between boxes and cannot be made with other Bluetooth devices.
[0045] i. The number of boxes in a team can be any number of 2, 3, or 4.
[0046] 4. Paying points, receiving points
[0047] a. The boxes are equipped with "<", "∧", and ">" directional keys, which are used to pay the person sitting in the corresponding direction. "<" means pay to the left, "∧" means pay to the opposite side, and "">" means pay to the right side. When the current box is set to "East", pressing "<" means pay to the left "South" box, "∧" means pay to the opposite "West" box, and "">" means pay to the right "North" box.
[0048] b. When paying points, first press the amount to pay, for example, 20 points, then press 2 and 0. If you need to pay to the other party, press the number and then press "∧" to pay the points to the other party. For example, if the current box is "East", then pay to the "West" box. When paying points to multiple people, press the number + arrow key in sequence to pay multiple people.
[0049] c. If the payment data is entered incorrectly, you can press the "Undo" button to clear the entered data one by one and then re-enter it.
[0050] d. When entering the score, the bottom row displays the entered number but not the total score. The total score will be displayed after you press the arrow keys to enter the score.
[0051] e. When a payment is received from a specific location, such as 20 points for "West," the location of the current device will remain lit, while "West" will flash in the upper left corner and "20" will flash in the lower left corner. The receiver presses the confirmation button to confirm receipt of the 20 points for "West." If multiple payments are received, the first received payment will flash first, and after confirmation, the other payments will flash sequentially until all payments have been received. If the sender enters an incorrect value, the "Return" button can be pressed to return the payment to the sender.
[0052] f. All boxes start with a score of 0. The score is added or subtracted based on the number of points paid and received. A negative number is displayed in front of the number, and a positive number is displayed in front of the number. This represents the score of the current box's win or loss. For example, "-20" means a loss of 20, and "+30" means a win of 30.
[0053] g. Changing the position does not affect the accumulated score of the current box.
[0054] 5. Contribution Points: When contribution points are required for the current box, press the contribution value and then press the "Contribute" button to successfully pay the contribution points. The contribution point value will then be displayed in the upper right corner of the box. For example, "20" indicates that the total contribution points for this team are 20. Each contribution point is added, and the number in the upper right corner at the end represents the total contribution points for this team. For example, "200" indicates that this team needs to pay 200 contribution points. This total contribution point is displayed in the upper right corner of all boxes, and changes in the box's position do not affect this total.
[0055] 6. Reset / Disband: When disbanding a team and resetting values, press the "Reset" button on any box. The directions and numbers displayed on the screens of all teamed boxes will flash. After pressing the confirmation button on the other boxes, the flashing of data on all boxes will stop, the data will be reset, and the team will be disbanded. Pressing the "Back" button before the data is completely reset will cancel the reset action.
[0056] 7. Unexpected shutdown: When the system is unexpectedly shut down or loses power, it is powered by the built-in button battery. Data before the power outage is retained and will be displayed after restarting.
[0057] 8. Timing: The box starts timing when the system successfully forms a team. The timing is reset to zero after the team is disbanded. Before disbanding, you can press the timing button, and the contribution points previously displayed in the upper right corner of the screen will be changed to the cumulative team time.
[0058] 9. Display screen: The top left shows the location (normally only the location set by the box is lit), the top right shows the contribution points / team time, and the bottom row shows the win / loss points.
