[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-154721 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem the invention aims to solve

[0007] In performance toys, structures that can perform a wide variety of performances are desired. In the prior art, performances are achieved by using rotatable movable parts, where light emitted from multiple light-emitting elements extends in the rotational direction due to afterimage effect, and is visually perceived as an arc-shaped band. In such light-emitting toys, increasing the number of light-emitting parts allows for diverse performances; however, this increases costs. Therefore, it would be useful to refract light emitted from a single light-emitting element in various directions to cause multiple components to emit light. This would allow for diverse performances at a lower cost.

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a new structure for luminescence, for example, in performance output toys.

[0009] Solution for solving the problem

[0010] The present invention is, for example, a performance output toy, comprising: a main toy body; and a secondary toy body detachable from the main toy body. The main toy body comprises: a mounting portion for mounting the secondary toy body; a light-emitting portion; a reflective portion for reflecting a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting portion and emitting it to the outside; and a light-guiding portion for guiding a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting portion to the secondary toy body.

[0011] The effects of the invention

[0012] According to the present invention, for example, a new structure for luminescence in performance output toys can be provided. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the following embodiments do not limit the invention as defined in the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessary for the invention. Any combination of two or more features described in the embodiments may be used. Additionally, identical or identical structures are labeled with the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0025] <Appearance and Structure of Performance Output Toys>

[0026] Reference Figure 1A and Figure 1BAn example of the appearance structure of the performance output toy of this embodiment will be described. Figure 1A and Figure 1B These represent the front views of the performance output toy in different transformation states. Additionally, the x, y, and z arrows indicate the toy's orientation: top, left, and front, respectively.

[0027] Figure 1A This image shows the front view of the first form 10 of the performance output toy. The performance output toy is in its first form 10, which transforms into a hand-like shape, and is configured to include a main toy body 100 and a secondary toy body 101. The main toy body 100 includes finger sections 102a-102e, decorative sections 103a-103b, a light control member 104, a light-emitting section 105, and a transformation state switch 106. The finger sections 102a-102e correspond to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, respectively. For transformation into the second form 20, the finger sections 102a-102e are configured to rotate. Additionally, the decorative sections 103a-103b, which mimic a sword, are also configured to rotate for transformation into the second form 20. Details of the transformation structure will be described later. The light control member 104 controls the light emitted from the light-emitting section 105 in various directions. Detailed structures will be described later. The transformation state switch 106 is a switching element that is pressed by the finger part 102, etc., in the performance output toy of the first form 10. The performance output toy can detect whether the form of the main toy body 100 is the first form 10 in the hand shape or the second form 20 in the humanoid shape according to the state of the transformation state switch 106.

[0028] The secondary toy body 101 is a ring that can be attached to and detached from the mounting part of the main toy body 100 in the first form 10. In the first form 10, it mimics a ring (band) worn on the finger 102c. The detailed structure of the secondary toy body will be described later. There are several types of secondary toy bodies 101, and the performance output toy switches performance output modes and outputs according to the specific type of secondary toy body and the form of the main toy body 100. Here, in the performance output toy of this embodiment, the performance output includes light output and sound output. Furthermore, it is not intended to limit the invention, vibration may also be included as performance output.

[0029] Figure 1BThis image shows the front view of the second form 20 of the performance output toy. The second form 20 is a humanoid form, with all components identical to those of the first form 10. In the second form 20, the finger 102a of the main toy body 100 transforms into a right arm. The finger 102b transforms into a right leg. The finger 102c rotates to the back. The finger 102d transforms into a left leg. The finger 102e transforms into a left arm. Additionally, decorative parts 103a and 103b rotate in different directions to form wings. Furthermore, the secondary toy body 101 forms the humanoid head, and the light control component 104 forms the humanoid chest.

[0030] like Figure 1B As shown, even when transforming from the first form 10 to the second form 20, the positions of the auxiliary toy body 101, the light control member 104, the light-emitting part 105, and the transformation state switch 106 remain unchanged. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the auxiliary toy body 101 is mounted on the same mounting part in both the first form 10 and the second form 20, forming a portion of the appearance of the performance output toy. However, the meaning of the appearance of the performance output toy formed by the auxiliary toy body 101 differs between the first form 10 and the second form 20 (it forms a "ring on a finger" in the first form 10 and a "human-shaped head" in the second form 20). Moreover, this invention is not intended to be limited; the positions of the aforementioned parts may also change between the first form 10 and the second form 20. In such cases, the position of each accessory needs to be considered to prevent obstruction of the light emitted from the light-emitting part 105.

[0031] The auxiliary toy body 101 is a ring-shaped component that can be attached to and detached from the mounting part (not shown) of the main toy body 100. In the first form 10, it corresponds to a ring embedded in the hand, and in the second form 20, it corresponds to the head of a humanoid figure. The performance output toy of this embodiment performs performance output by attaching (also referred to as "connecting") the auxiliary toy body 101 to the main toy body 100. Furthermore, by operating the operating components (not shown), performance output is performed using the light output of the light-emitting part 105 and the sound output of the speaker (not shown), depending on the deformation state of the main toy body 100 and the type of auxiliary toy body 101.

[0032] The auxiliary toy body 101 can be mounted to the main toy body 100 by being embedded in a mounting part provided on the main toy body 100. Furthermore, the auxiliary toy body 101 has multiple types and is equipped with an identifier for identifying the type. This performance output toy can change its performance output depending on the type of the auxiliary toy body 101 connected to the main toy body 100. Therefore, the performance output toy needs to determine the type (identifier) ​​of the auxiliary toy body 101, and a detection unit with any structure can be applied.

[0033] For example, multiple switches in a convex shape can be provided on the mounting portion of the main toy body 100, and the type of the secondary toy body 101 can be determined based on the location where the convex part is pressed when the secondary toy body 101 is installed. Alternatively, a sensor can be provided on the main toy body 100, and the type of the secondary toy body 101 can be determined by reading the identifier (QR code, RFID tag, etc.) provided on the secondary toy body 101. Alternatively, a control board can be provided on the secondary toy body 101, and the type of the secondary toy body 101 can be determined by reading information from the control board of the secondary toy body 101 through electrical connection with the control unit 600 provided inside the main toy body 100. The specific identification structure of the secondary toy body in this embodiment will be described later.

[0034] In this embodiment, the performance output toy can also output sound as a performance output in conjunction with the light output. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and vibration performance output may also be provided. The performance output toy 100 also has a control unit 600 internally provided for controlling the aforementioned performance output. The control unit 600 controls the performance output based on the connection between the auxiliary toy body 101 and the main toy body 100, the operation of the operating components, and by referring to a table storing performance output data according to the type of auxiliary toy body 101.

[0035] <Deformable Structure>

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The deformable structure of the main toy body 100 in the performance output toy of this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 (a) to (d) represent the front view of the performance output toy, respectively.

[0037] Figure 2 (a) indicates the first form 10 of the performance output toy. When transforming from the first form 10 to the second form 20, firstly, as indicated by the shaded markings, the fingers 102b and 102d are tilted forward (straight arrows), and rotated 180 degrees as indicated by the curved arrows. At this time, the transformation state switch 106 changes from the pressed state to the released state. The transformation state switch 106 is pressed in the first form 10 by the fingers 102d. Since the transformation state switch 106 is in the pressed state, the control unit 600 can recognize that the transformation state of the main toy body 100 is the first form 10. Therefore, if the transformation state switch 106 becomes the released state, the control unit 600 determines that the main toy body 100 is transforming into the second form 20 (or is in the process of transforming). Furthermore, the performance can also begin by outputting transformation through sound or other means as the transformation state switch 106 becomes the released state.

[0038] Figure 2(b) indicates the state after the fingers 102b and 102d are rotated. In this state, although the deformation to the second form 20 is not complete, the control unit 600 determines the deformation state as the second form 20. Figure 2 In the state shown in (b), the fingers 102b and 102d constitute the right and left legs of the second form 20, respectively. Next, as... Figure 2 As indicated by the shaded marking in (b), the fingers 102a and 102e are rotated toward the front of the performance output toy.

[0039] Figure 2 (c) indicates the state after the fingers 102a and 102e are rotated. Figure 2 In the state shown in (c), the finger portions 102a and 102e constitute the right arm portion and left arm portion of the second form 20, respectively. Furthermore, as Figure 2 As indicated by the shaded mark (c), the decorative parts 103a and 103b are rotated in the direction of the arrow, and then the finger part 102c is rotated toward the back side of the performance output toy. Figure 2 (d) indicates the state after the decorative parts 103a, 103b and finger part 102c are rotated. Figure 2 (d) indicates the state in which the performance output toy completes its transformation into the second form 20.

[0040] <Structure of light control component 104>

[0041] Reference Figure 3 The structure of the light control component 104 in this embodiment will be described. Figure 3 (a) represents the surface of the light control component 104. Figure 3 (b) indicates the back side. Figure 3 (c) indicates the side view.

[0042] The light control member 104 is a disc-shaped component, configured to include a light guide portion 301 and a reflective portion 303. 302 represents the surface of the light control member 104, which is formed of a light-transmitting component. The light guide portion 301 is a cylindrical portion formed from the lower center of the light control member 104 towards the upper center. In both the first form 10 and the second form 20 of the performance output toy, a light-emitting portion 105 is provided at the lower part of the light guide portion 301. The light-emitting portion 105 emits light in the direction of the light guide portion 301, and the emitted light is guided upwards through the light guide portion 301. The upward-guided light enters the auxiliary toy body 101, causing the auxiliary toy body 101 to emit light. Furthermore, since the light guide portion 301 is formed of a light-transmitting component, light also passes through the cylindrical side, illuminating the surrounding area. A portion of this light also enters the interior of the light control member 104. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light guide 301 is described as being formed in a cylindrical shape, but this is not intended to limit the invention. Any shape is possible as long as it connects the light-emitting part and the auxiliary toy body. Alternatively, the light path between the light-emitting part and the auxiliary toy body may be configured such that a portion of the light is refracted, forming a non-straight light path.

[0043] A reflective portion 303 is formed on the back side of the light control member 104. The reflective portion 303 is formed in multiple irregular shapes on the back side of the light control member 104. Consequently, the inner wall of the back side of the light control member 104 is also formed in multiple irregular shapes. Light leaking from the light guide portion 301 illuminates the reflective portion 303, and the illuminated light is reflected in various directions by this wall surface. Since the surface 302 of the light control member 104 is formed of a light-transmitting component, this reflected light passes through the surface 302 and is emitted towards the front of the performance output toy. That is, in this embodiment, the reflection direction of the light from the reflective portion 303 is defined as a direction different from the light guiding direction of the light from the light guide portion 301. Because the reflected light passes through the surface 302, it is visually recognized as the light control member 104 emitting light itself. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown in (c), the surface 302 of the light control member 104 is formed flat to allow light to pass through, and the back side is formed with a plurality of concave and convex shapes to reflect light.

[0044] Thus, in this embodiment, the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 105 can be guided upwards (y-direction in the figure) of the performance output toy by the light guide unit 301 to make the auxiliary toy body 101 emit light, and the light control member 104 can be reflected forwards (z-direction in the figure) of the performance output toy by the reflector 303 to emit light. Therefore, according to this embodiment, light can be output in various directions through a single light-emitting unit, and multiple members can emit light (in other words, multiple parts of the performance output toy in different positions can emit light).

[0045] Furthermore, in the reflective portion 303, multiple circular light paths are formed around the light guide portion 301. This allows light passing through the light guide portion 301 to be dispersed along the circular light paths, guiding light towards the light control member 104 as a whole. These circular light paths are also formed by light-transmitting components, so a portion of the light passes through and illuminates the multiple uneven portions of the reflective portion 303.

[0046] <Light Output>

[0047] Reference Figure 4 This section explains the light output of the toy used in this performance. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view showing the auxiliary toy body 101, the light control component 104, and the light-emitting part 105.

[0048] like Figure 4 As indicated by the arrow, the light control member 104 can guide and reflect light emitted from the light-emitting part 105 in various directions. Light guided by the light guide part 301 reaches the auxiliary toy body 101 through the light guide part 301. Additionally, reflected light reflected in various directions by the reflector 303 passes through the surface 302 of the light control member 104 and is emitted towards the front of the performance output toy. Furthermore, in Figure 4 Although the reflected light from the reflector 303 is indicated by an arrow, it is a rough representation and does not represent the entirety of the reflected light, which is also reflected in directions other than those indicated by the arrow.

[0049] <Specific identification of secondary play items>

[0050] Reference Figure 5 This document explains the specific identification of the secondary toys among the toys produced in this performance. Figure 5 (a) indicates the front view of the first form 10 of the performance output toy. Figure 5 (b) shows an enlarged view of the mounting part 500 of the main toy body 100 with the auxiliary toy body 101 removed. Figure 5 (c) represents the rear perspective view of the secondary toy body 101.

[0051] The main toy body 100 has a mounting portion 500 for mounting the secondary toy body 101 on the upper part of the light control member 104. For example... Figure 5 As shown in (b), the mounting part 500 is configured to include detection pins 501a to 501f, a hook part 502, and openings 503a and 503b. Additionally, as... Figure 5 As shown in (c), the auxiliary toy body 101 is configured to include gripping portions 511a, 511b and protrusions 512a to 512c.

[0052] Detection pins 501a to 501f are pressable pins used to identify the category of the auxiliary toy body 101. Detection pins 501a to 501c are disposed on the upper side of the hook portion 502. On the other hand, detection pins 501d to 501f are disposed on the lower side of the hook portion 502. These detection pins 501a to 501f are pressed down by protrusions formed on the back side of the auxiliary toy body 101. Each detection pin 501a to 501f outputs a signal to the control unit 600, described later, when pressed down by the protrusions. The control unit 600 is capable of identifying the category of the auxiliary toy body 101 based on the pattern of the detection pins 501a to 501f that output signals. Figure 5 In the example, detection pin 501a is pressed down by protrusion 512a, detection pin 501c is pressed down by protrusion 512b, and detection pin 501e is pressed down by protrusion 512c. The position of the protrusion 512 on the auxiliary toy body 101 varies depending on its type.

[0053] A ring-shaped auxiliary toy body 101 is mounted on the hook portion 502 of the mounting portion 500. More specifically, the grip portion 511a of the auxiliary toy body 101 is inserted into the opening portion 503b of the mounting portion 500, and the grip portion 511b is inserted into the opening portion 503a, so that the auxiliary toy body 101 is mounted on the mounting portion 500 by using the grip portions 511a and 511b to clamp the hook portion 502. In this state, each protrusion 512 presses down on the detection pin 501 at the corresponding position. In addition, as described above, the specific identification structure of the auxiliary toy is not limited to the form of this embodiment, and any structure can be applied.

[0054] <Structure of the control unit>

[0055] Reference Figure 6 The structure of the control unit in this embodiment will be described. Figure 6 This is a block diagram illustrating a structural example of the control unit 600.

[0056] The control unit (control section) 600 includes a CPU 601, a storage section 602, a power supply section 603, an LED 604, a first detection section 605, a second detection section 606, a switch group 607, and a speaker 608. The CPU 601 is the central processing unit that controls the entire control unit 600. The CPU 601 performs the processes described later by reading and executing the program stored in the storage section 602. In addition to storing the aforementioned program, the storage section 602 also stores various data and tables.

[0057] The power supply unit 603 controls the power supply to the control unit 600 by switching a power switch (not shown). The power source may be a battery, or a rechargeable battery. Alternatively, a USB connection terminal (not shown) may be provided, allowing the rechargeable battery to be charged via USB connection.

[0058] The first detection unit 605 detects when a secondary toy body 101 is connected to the mounting portion of the main toy body 100. As described above, the first detection unit 605 can have any detection mechanism depending on the structure of the secondary toy body 101. Furthermore, the first detection unit 605 determines the type of the connected secondary toy body 101. For example, the first detection unit 605 can determine the type of the secondary toy body 101 based on the portion of one of the plurality of protruding detection pins provided in the mounting portion of the main toy body 100 that is pressed when the secondary toy body 101 is installed, as described above. Alternatively, the detection unit 605 can determine the type of the secondary toy body 101 based on identification information obtained by reading the identifier (QR code, etc.) of the connected secondary toy body 101 by a sensor, or identification information obtained through data communication with the connected secondary toy body 101.

[0059] The second detection unit 606 detects whether the main toy body 100 is in a first form 10 or a second form 20 transformation state. The second detection unit 606 detects this transformation state based on the output from the transformation state switch 106. When the transformation state switch 106 is pressed, it outputs a signal, and the second detection unit 606 determines the transformation state to be the first form 10. Conversely, when the transformation state switch 106 is released, it does not output a signal, and the second detection unit 606 determines the transformation state to be the second form 20.

[0060] LED 604 is a light-emitting device corresponding to the light-emitting unit 105, and its light emission is controlled by CPU 601. LED 604 is a colored LED capable of emitting multiple colors and can switch colors according to the performance mode. Speaker 608 is a device for sound output as a performance output. Speaker 608 is located inside the main toy body 100. In addition to LED 604 and speaker 608, vibration devices such as vibration mechanisms can also be installed as performance output devices. Switch group 607 consists of various switches installed on the main toy body 100, including power switches, operating mechanisms, and transformation state switches 106. Performance outputs such as light and sound output are performed by operating the operating mechanisms.

[0061] <Performance Output Form>

[0062] Reference Figure 7 The performance output table stored in the storage unit 602 of the control unit 600 of the main toy body 100 in this embodiment will be described.

[0063] Table 700 defines information related to multiple performance output modes. 701 represents the identification number of the performance defined in each table. This identification number becomes information associated with the type of the secondary toy body 101. 702 defines the performance output mode when the main toy body 100 is in its first transformation state, i.e., the hand state. 703 defines the performance output mode when the main toy body 100 is in its second transformation state, i.e., the humanoid state.

[0064] In performance output modes 702 and 703, a management number for the light output mode and a management number for the sound output mode are defined for each auxiliary toy body 101 based on its identification number. The storage unit 602 stores the light output data and sound output data corresponding to these management numbers. The CPU 601 reads the data and drives the LED 604 and the speaker 608. The management number corresponds to the filename.

[0065] For example, the management number for the light output of the hand state 702 with identification number "001" in Table 700 is "L001", and the management number for the sound output is "M001". The management number for the light output of the humanoid state 703 is "L101", and the management number for the sound output is "M101". Therefore, when the CPU 601 is in the humanoid form with the sub-toy body 101 equipped with identification number 001 performing an output, it reads files "L101" and "M101" from the storage unit 602 and outputs light and sound via LED 604 and speaker 608 according to each file. Furthermore, for different types of sub-toy bodies 101, multiple data (files) can be used to control the light and sound output.

[0066] <Performance Output Control>

[0067] Reference Figure 8 The processing procedure for performance output control in this embodiment will now be described. The processing described below is implemented, for example, by the CPU 601 reading and executing data and programs stored in the storage unit 602. The numbers following S indicate the step numbers in this flowchart.

[0068] In S101, the CPU 601 determines whether the power switch of the performance output toy 100 has been turned on and starts the toy. When the toy is started, the process proceeds to S102. In S102, the CPU 601 uses the second detection unit 606 to start detecting the transformation state of the main toy body 100. The second detection unit 606 monitors the output signal of the transformation state switch 106. When the CPU 601 receives an output signal exceeding a predetermined value, it determines that the transformation state switch 106 has been pressed and determines that the main toy body 100 is in the first state 10. On the other hand, if the CPU 601 does not receive an output signal exceeding the predetermined value, it determines that the transformation state switch 106 has not been pressed and determines that the transformation state of the main toy body 100 is in the second state 20.

[0069] Next, in S103, the CPU 601 begins detecting whether the auxiliary toy body 101 is installed in the mounting section 500. Specifically, the CPU 601 monitors the output signals from each of the detection pins 501a to 501f of the mounting section 500, and determines that the auxiliary toy body 101 is installed in the mounting section 500 when a signal is detected from at least one detection pin 501. Furthermore, the CPU 601 determines the type of the auxiliary toy body 101 based on which of the detection pins 501a to 501f detected the signal. In addition, the CPU 601 can determine the type of the installed auxiliary toy body 101 by referring to a table pre-stored in the storage section 602 that specifies the types and signal patterns of the auxiliary toy bodies 101.

[0070] In S104, the CPU 601 performs startup-time output, for example, sound output via speaker 608. Alternatively, light output may be performed via LED 604. Furthermore, startup-time and other related performances are stored separately from those in Table 700 above in the storage unit 602.

[0071] Next, in step S105, CPU 601 determines whether an operating component (not shown) has been operated. If it has been operated, proceed to S107; otherwise, proceed to S106. In S106, CPU 601 determines whether the deformation state of the main toy body 100 or the installation state of the auxiliary toy body 101 has changed. If either state has changed, proceed to S107; otherwise, proceed to S108.

[0072] In S107, the CPU 601 outputs performance data via the LED 604 and the speaker 608 based on the current various states. These various states indicate whether the operating component is operated, the transformation state of the main toy body 100, the installation state of the auxiliary toy body 101, the type of auxiliary toy body 101 when installed, and state change information. The CPU 601 outputs performance data based on this information.
