[0023] The embodiments will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments described below do not limit the invention as defined in the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily necessary for the invention. Two or more features from the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. Additionally, the same or identical structures are labeled with the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0024] <Appearance and Structure of Performance Output Toys>

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This describes an example of the appearance structure of the performance output toy 100 according to this embodiment. Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b) shows the front view of the performance output toy 100. Furthermore, arrows x, y, and z indicate the left, top, and front orientations of the model toy, respectively, as are shown in the other figures.

[0026] Figure 1 Image (a) shows the front view of the performance output toy 100 with its cover closed. The performance output toy 100 is configured to include a main toy body 101, a secondary toy body 102, and a strap 103. The performance output toy 100 of this embodiment is configured to be able to be attached to the buckle of the strap 103, but it is not limited to this and can be configured as any other toy.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in (b), the main toy body 101 is configured to include a cover portion 110 and a main body portion 120. The cover portion 110 is capable of... Figure 1 The closed state shown in (a) is the same as Figure 1The toy body is opened and closed between the open states shown in (b). A connecting portion for connecting the auxiliary toy body 102 is provided on the main body 120. The auxiliary toy body 102 has identification information for identifying the specific type of the auxiliary toy, and can be detachably connected to the connecting portion provided on the main body 120 by having the cover 110 of the main toy body 101 in an open state. The auxiliary toy body 102 includes multiple types, and identification information is assigned to each type. This identification information can be either inherent or variable. As described later, this identification information can be identified by a combination of two resistors. Therefore, the inherent identification information refers to a combination of two resistors that is inherent in relation to the specific type of the auxiliary toy and cannot be changed. On the other hand, the variable identification information refers to a structure that allows switching between the combinations of the two resistors, enabling switching to multiple combinations for use. There are no limitations on the variable construction. For example, a construction could be used where three or more resistors are incorporated into a sub-toy body, along with a mechanism such as a switch that allows selection of the resistors connected to the main toy body in the circuit, enabling selective switching of two combined resistors connected to the main toy body. Alternatively, a construction could be used where two variable resistors are incorporated to dynamically change their values. By utilizing this variable identification information, a wider range of performances can be achieved using a single sub-toy body.

[0028] This performance output toy 100, by connecting the auxiliary toy body 102 to the main toy body 101, can perform various performance outputs depending on the type of auxiliary toy body 102. Furthermore, while this embodiment describes an example with one connecting part, it is not intended to limit the invention; a structure with multiple connecting parts is also possible. In this case, different types of auxiliary toy bodies 102 can be connected to each connecting part. Additionally, the performance output can be varied depending on the combination of the types of auxiliary toy bodies 102 connected.

[0029] <Specific links for secondary games>

[0030] Reference Figure 2 This describes the specific connections of the secondary components involved in this implementation. Figure 2 (a) and (b) show perspective views of the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the cover 110 of the main toy body 101 is omitted from the illustration. That is, the illustration shows the main toy body 101 being configured to connect to the auxiliary toy body 102 in the same way as when the cover 110 is open.

[0031] Figure 2(a) shows the state before the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected. The auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the connecting part 201 from the upper part of the main toy body 101 in the direction of the arrow. Normally, the connecting part 201 is covered by the cover 110, so the auxiliary toy body 102 cannot be connected. By opening the cover 110, it becomes possible to connect.

[0032] The connecting portion 201 is a recess formed near the center of the main body 120, and a connecting pin such as a pogo pin is exposed at the bottom near the center. By pressing the connecting pin into the protrusion 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 circuit provided in the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body is turned on. Figure 3 The detailed structure of the connecting part will be described later.

[0033] Figure 2 (b) shows the case where the main toy body 101 is connected to the auxiliary toy body 102. An operator 202 is also provided on the main toy body 101. The operator 202 serves as a trigger for performance output; in this embodiment, a push-button type is shown as an example. However, the operator of this invention is not limited, and other operators such as joysticks can also be used. Performance output can be performed by operating the operator 202 while the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101. Alternatively, the type of performance output can be switched each time the operator 202 is operated. Furthermore, multiple operators can be provided, and different performances can be output by operating each operator. Performance output can be a combination of various outputs, such as sound output from speakers and light output from light-emitting parts such as LEDs.

[0034] <Structure of the connecting part>

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The detailed structure of the connecting part 201 of the main toy body 101 involved in this embodiment will be explained. Figure 3 (a) shows a top view of the main toy body 101 with the cover 110 removed. Figure 3 (b) shows an enlarged view of the connecting part 201. Figure 3 (c) shows a bottom view of the secondary toy body 102.

[0036] 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 connecting pin such as a spring pin is provided in the connecting portion 301. In this embodiment, three connecting pins are exposed. Additionally, as... Figure 3As shown in (c), a convex connecting portion 302 is formed at the bottom of the auxiliary toy body 102. Furthermore, the number of connecting pins can be varied depending on the structure of the circuit formed together with the auxiliary toy body.

[0037] When connecting the secondary toy body 102 to the main toy body 101, the connecting pin provided in the connecting portion 301 of the main toy body 101 is pressed into the connecting portion 302 of the secondary toy body 102. When the connecting pin is pressed in, it is electrically connected to the circuitry inside the main toy body 101, and also electrically connected to the circuitry of the secondary toy body 102, which is in contact with the connecting pin. Therefore, the connecting portion 302 of the secondary toy body 102 is also made of a conductive material. Figure 4 The circuit structure of the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102 will be described later.

[0038] <Circuit Structure>

[0039] Reference Figure 4 This embodiment describes the circuit structure of the performance output toy. Figure 4 The circuit structure of the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102 is shown.

[0040] As a circuit structure, the main toy body 101 includes a first resistor 401, a second resistor 402, a power supply 405, and voltmeters 407 and 408. 411, 412, and 413 indicate the connecting pins of the connecting portion 301. The voltmeters 407 and 408 are included in IC 406. IC 406 is an example of an identification unit that identifies the type of the secondary toy body 102 by measuring the voltage at a predetermined location in the circuit. On the other hand, as a circuit structure, the secondary toy body 102 includes a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404. 421, 422, and 423 indicate the connecting terminals of the connecting portion 302.

[0041] 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 each connecting terminal 421 to 423. For example... 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 auxiliary toy body 102 are connected, the first resistor 401 forming the main toy body 101 and the third resistor 403 forming the auxiliary toy body 102 are connected in series to the series connection of the power supply 405. Furthermore, the second resistor 402 forming the main toy body 101 and the fourth resistor 404 forming the auxiliary toy body 102 are connected in series to the series connection of the power supply 405.

[0042] IC 406 can detect that the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101 based on the fact that current flows through the connecting pins 411-413. When the connection of the auxiliary toy body 102 is detected, IC 406 measures the voltage at measurement point 431, which is a voltage divider formed by the series-connected first resistor 401 and third resistor 403, using voltmeter 407. Furthermore, IC 406 measures the voltage at measurement point 432, which is a voltage divider formed by the series-connected second resistor 402 and fourth resistor 404, using voltmeter 408. The voltages at measurement points 431 and 432 can be expressed by Equation 1 below.

[0043] Vx=(V×B) / (A+B)···(Equation 1)

[0044] Here, Vx represents the voltage at the measurement point. V represents the voltage of power supply 405. A represents the resistance value of the first resistor 401 or the second resistor 402. B represents the resistance value of the third resistor 403 or the fourth resistor 404.

[0045] For example, if V is set to 3V, resistance A to 1Ω, and resistance B to 1Ω, the voltage Vx at the measuring point is 1.5V. On the other hand, if V is set to 3V, resistance A to 1Ω, and resistance B to 2Ω, the voltage Vx at the measuring 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 measuring point can be changed, thereby identifying the type of the connected auxiliary toy body 102 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 this type. Furthermore, the resistance values ​​of the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402 provided on the main toy body 101 are fixed.

[0046] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, a structure is provided in which two resistors are provided in both the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102. This is because the number of resistance values ​​that IC 406 can recognize is limited, and if only one resistor is used, the types of auxiliary toy bodies 102 depend on that number. Therefore, by using two resistors, the number of recognizable types of auxiliary toy bodies 102 can be further increased according to the combination pattern of their resistance values. Therefore, in this embodiment, an example including two types of resistors is shown, but it is desirable to change the number of resistors provided according to the number of specific types of auxiliary toys that are to be recognized. Of course, it is also possible to use only one resistor.

[0047] <Control Structure>

[0048] Reference Figure 5This paper describes the control structure used for controlling the performance output of the main toy body 101 and the auxiliary toy body 102 according to this embodiment. Furthermore, here, a structure with an IC is shown as the control structure for the auxiliary toy body 102. However, in this invention, the structure of the auxiliary toy body 102 can also include a structure without an IC. The auxiliary toy body 102 without an IC does not have the control structure described later, and is only provided with a substrate including a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404.

[0049] As a control structure, 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. The control unit 501, configured to control the performance output, includes an IC 406. The storage unit 502 stores performance output data in association with specific identification information of the secondary toy body. When the secondary 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 the secondary toy body 102 based on the measurement results. During performance output, the control unit 501 reads and utilizes performance output data corresponding to the identified secondary toy body from the storage unit 502. Furthermore, the control unit 501, storage unit 502, and identification unit 504 can be configured to be included on the same substrate as the IC 406, or they can be included on other substrates.

[0050] The power supply unit 503 supplies power to each part from a power source 405, such as a battery, connected to the main toy body 101. The switch assembly 507 includes actuators such as buttons, levers, and switches, which are used to trigger performance output. The LED assembly 506 is a light-emitting device for performance output, including one or more LED elements. The speaker 508 is a sound output device for performance output. When the control unit 501 detects operation on any of the actuators included in the switch assembly 507, it uses at least one of the devices in the LED assembly 506 and the speaker 508 to perform performance output.

[0051] On the other hand, in the secondary toy body 102, it is possible to... Figure 4 It can be configured as shown to include a resistor but not other devices that serve as control structures, or it can be configured to include other devices that serve as control structures (such as ICs). Figure 5The illustrated auxiliary toy body 102 shows an example including other devices as control structures. In this case, the auxiliary toy body 102 includes a control unit 511, a speaker 512, and an LED group 513. The control unit 511 controls the speaker 512 and the LED group 513 according to instructions from the control unit 501. Alternatively, the control unit 511 may not be provided, in which case the control unit 501 of the main toy body 101 acts as a proxy for controlling the speaker 512 and the LED group 513. Furthermore, a storage unit (not shown) may be provided in the auxiliary toy body 102 to store performance output data for controlling the speaker 512 and the LED group 513. In this case, the control unit 511 reads the performance output data from the storage unit provided in the auxiliary toy body 102 according to instructions from the control unit 501 to control the speaker 512 and the LED group 513.

[0052] <Performance Output Control>

[0053] Reference Figure 6 The processing procedure for performance output control according to this embodiment will be explained. The processing described below is implemented, for example, by the control unit 501 reading and executing data and programs stored in the storage unit 502. The number following S indicates the step number of this flowchart.

[0054] In step S101, the control unit 501 determines whether the auxiliary toy body 102 is connected (installed) to the main toy body 101. For example, the control unit 501 can detect the installation of the auxiliary toy body 102 by detecting the current generated when the connecting pins 411-413 of the connecting part 301 are electrically connected to the connecting terminals 421-423 of the auxiliary toy body 102. If the installation of the auxiliary toy body 102 is detected, step S102 is entered; otherwise, the determination in step S101 is repeated.

[0055] In S102, the control unit 501 uses voltmeters 407 and 408 of IC 406 to measure the voltage at measurement points 431 and 432. Next, in S103, the control unit 501 identifies the type of the installed auxiliary toy body 102 based on the measured voltage results. Specifically, the control unit 501 uses the measured voltage values ​​at two locations as search keywords to retrieve the identification of auxiliary toy bodies 102 pre-stored in the storage unit 502 that are associated with the pattern of the measured voltage values. When an auxiliary toy body 102 is identified, in S104, the control unit 501 obtains the performance output data registered in association with the retrieved item in the table.

[0056] In S105, the control unit 501 determines whether an operation on the actuator 202, which triggers the performance output, has been detected. If the trigger for the performance output is detected, the process proceeds to S106; otherwise, it proceeds to S107. Here, the operation on the actuator 202 is used as an example to illustrate the triggering of the performance output, but this is not intended to limit the invention. Operation on other actuators is also possible, or the trigger could be the installation of the auxiliary toy body 102 on the main toy body 101. In S106, the control unit 501 controls the LED group 506 and the speaker 508 of the main toy body 101 to perform a performance output, including at least one of sound output and light output, according to the performance output data obtained in S104. Here, if the auxiliary toy body 102 includes at least one of the speaker 512 and the LED group 513, they can also be controlled to perform the performance output.

[0057] Next, in S107, the control unit 501 determines whether the auxiliary toy body 102 has been removed from the main toy body 101. Specifically, if the current detected in S101 can no longer be detected, the control unit 501 determines that the auxiliary toy body 102 has been removed from the main toy body 101. If it has been removed, the processing of this flowchart ends. On the other hand, if it has not been removed, the processing returns to S105. Afterwards, when a new operation is performed, a performance output corresponding to that operation and the type of auxiliary toy body 102 is performed.

[0058] <Resistors Overview>

[0059] Reference Figure 7 The description includes a table defining the types and combinations of resistors involved in this embodiment. Figure 7 (a) shows a table defining the types of resistors. Figure 7 (b) shows a table of the measured value patterns and performance output data corresponding to the combination of definitions and resistances.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown in (a), according to this embodiment, multiple resistors with different resistance values, such as 16 types of resistors, are used. Each resistor has a different resistance value. For example, when using 16 types of resistors, only 16 measurement patterns can be recognized when 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 types, can be recognized for the measurement patterns corresponding to the measurement points. As a result, a wider variety of performance outputs can be achieved.

[0061] Table 710 is stored in storage unit 502. Table 710 defines, in association with the types of the two resistors provided on the auxiliary toy body 102, their combination 703, the measurement voltage mode 704 of the two measured values, and the identification information 705 of the performance output data. Only a portion of the data is shown in Table 710, but up to 256 types of data can be defined. Furthermore, the two resistors provided on the auxiliary toy body 102 can have the same resistance value or different values. Alternatively, one resistor can be set to 0Ω. In this case, that resistor is omitted. Additionally, the case where a resistor with resistance ID 001 is used for the third resistor 403 and a resistor with resistance ID 002 is used for the fourth resistor 404 can be identified as a different mode than the case where a resistor with resistance ID 002 is used for the third resistor 403 and a resistor with resistance ID 001 is used for the fourth resistor 404. The measurement voltage mode 704 is omitted here and referred to as "mode 0001," but it actually registers the voltage values ​​of two measurement points. Therefore, the control unit 501 can identify the auxiliary toy body 102 based on the voltage value pattern.

[0062] The identification unit 504 measures the voltage at two measurement points using voltmeters 407 and 408, and transmits the measured voltage pattern 704 to the control unit 501. The control unit 501 refers to the 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 the storage unit 502 according to the identification information 705.

[0063] <Specific Structure of the Secondary Game>

[0064] Reference Figure 8 This embodiment describes a structural example of the auxiliary toy body 102. Figure 8 (a) shows the specific structure of the sub-play with IC. Figure 8 (b) shows the specific structure of the sub-play without IC.

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown in (a), the auxiliary toy body 102 with IC includes a control unit 511, a speaker 512, and an LED group 513. On the other hand, as... Figure 8 As shown in (b), the auxiliary toy body 102 without IC does not have a control unit 511, but only connects the substrate including the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 to the connection unit 302.

[0066] When outputting performance data, if the auxiliary toy unit 102 with an IC is installed, the control unit 501 controls not only the main toy's LED group 506 and speaker 508, but also the LED group 513 and speaker 512 installed on the auxiliary toy unit 102. Conversely, if the auxiliary toy unit 102 without an IC is installed, the control unit 501 only controls the main toy's LED group 506 and speaker 508 during performance output. This allows for diverse control variations depending on the presence or absence of an IC, enabling a wider range of performances.

[0067] As described above, the performance output toy 100 of this embodiment includes: a main toy body 101; and a secondary toy body 102, which has identification information and can be connected to the main toy body. The main toy body 101 includes: a power supply; and 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 location in the circuit formed when the secondary toy body is connected, identifies the secondary toy body according to the measured value, and outputs a performance based on the identification. The secondary toy body 102 includes: a third resistor, which is connected in series with the first resistor when the secondary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body; and a fourth resistor, which is connected in series with the second resistor when the secondary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body. Thus, a wider variety of secondary toy bodies can be identified with a simple structure. In this way, according to this embodiment, a new structure for realizing performances in a performance output toy can be provided.

[0068] This invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and alterations can be made within the scope of the invention's intent. For example, the shape of the performance output toy is not limited to the buckle mounted on the strap, but includes other decorations and various shapes.
