[0246] This disclosure relates to 10 intelligent chess-playing devices. For example... Figure 1-19As shown in Figure 22, in one embodiment, the intelligent chess device 10 may include a chessboard 100, multiple chess pieces, a winning piece recognition module 200, and a prompting module. The chessboard 100 has a playing area 110 where a user can play chess. The playing area 110 may include a winning area 120. In one embodiment, the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100 is recessed relative to other parts of the chessboard 100, such as the perimeter. The multiple chess pieces may include multiple winning pieces, including a first semi-winning piece 310 and a second semi-winning piece 320 that can be operated independently of each other. More specifically, the first semi-winning piece 310 and the second semi-winning piece 320 are two separate pieces, each of which can be operated independently by the user. The winning piece recognition module 200 can be configured to recognize the presence of each winning piece 310, 320, and 330 in the winning area 120. That is, in the game phase of the corresponding game mode, as long as the corresponding winning piece 310, 320, or 330 is placed in the winning area 120, the winning piece recognition module 200 can recognize the presence of the winning piece 310, 320, or 330. The prompting module can be communicatively connected to the winning piece recognition module 200 and configured to provide corresponding prompting information when the winning piece recognition module 200 recognizes the presence of the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 in the winning area 120. In a specific implementation, the prompting information can be at least one of sound information, light information, and display information. In one embodiment, the smart chess device 10 may be configured to include at least one game mode, and in a first game mode of the at least one game mode, when both the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are in the final zone 120, the corresponding game phase ends.

[0247] In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 can be configured to include one or more game levels. Additionally, each game level may also include one or more game stages. In one specific embodiment, the lower the level of the game level, the lower the game difficulty; conversely, the higher the level of the game level, the higher the game difficulty. Similarly, it can be configured such that the lower the level of the game stage within a game level, the lower the game difficulty; conversely, the higher the level of the game stage, the higher the game difficulty. It should be noted that the term "one game stage" as used herein may correspond to "one game" or "one round of play" as known in the art. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 8The chessboard 100 is schematically divided by dotted lines. The playing area 110 may include multiple placement position units 111, such as a pre-defined plurality of placement position units 111, where the user can perform placement operations. More specifically, it is used to place pieces into one or more adjacent placement position units 111 to complete placement and movement operations. In one specific embodiment, the deciding area 120 may include one or more adjacent placement position units 111, such as four placement position units 111, for example, these four placement position units 111 are adjacent to each other in pairs. In some embodiments, some pieces may correspond in shape to one placement position unit 111, such as the first type of piece 340 described below; some pieces may correspond in shape to two placement position units 111, such as the second type of piece 350 described below. In a specific embodiment, the first semi-decisive piece 310 and the second semi-decisive piece 320 may correspond in shape to two placement position units 111. In a specific implementation, the overall winning piece 330, which will be described below, can correspond in shape to four placement position units 111.

[0248] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 7, the deciding area 120 in the chess playing area 110 is set as a square area. In some embodiments, as shown, the deciding area 120 can be divided into two first rectangular parts with equal areas by a first central axis AL1, and can be divided into two second rectangular parts with equal areas by a second central axis AL2 perpendicular to the first central axis AL1. The intelligent chess device 10 can be configured such that when the first half-decisive piece 310 and the second half-decisive piece 320 are each in a corresponding first rectangular part, the corresponding game phase ends, such as... Figure 5 As shown; and / or, the intelligent chess device 10 can be configured such that when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding second rectangular section, the corresponding game phase ends, as shown. Figure 7 As shown. Figure 4 This shows one of the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320. For example, the first semi-final piece 310 reaches the deciding zone 120 in a move where it is the first to move. Figure 5 This illustrates another of the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320, for example, the second semi-final piece 320, which also reaches the deciding zone 120 in a later move, thus ending the game. Figure 6 and Figure 7 A similar process is shown. More specifically, as... Figure 4-7As shown, the shape of each of the first semi-decisive piece 310 and the second semi-decisive piece 320 is set to match the shape of each of the first rectangular portion and the second rectangular portion of the decisive zone 120.

[0249] Additional or alternative land, such as Figure 14 and 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of winning pieces may further include a single winning piece 330. The intelligent chess device 10 may also be configured to include a second game mode, and may be configured such that in the second game mode, when the single winning piece 330 is in the deciding area 120, the corresponding game segment ends. More specifically, the shape of the single winning piece 330 may be set to match the shape of the deciding area 120. Thus, the intelligent chess device 10 of this disclosure allows for the implementation of multiple game modes without increasing the structural complexity and cost of the chess device 10, thereby enhancing the fun.

[0250] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 8 As shown in Figure 10, the intelligent chess device 10 may further include a control module 500. This control module 500 can be configured to communicatively connect to and control the operation of one or more modules or components of the intelligent chess device 10. More specifically, the control module 500 includes a main circuit board 510.

[0251] In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 further includes a game mode selection module connected to, and more specifically, communicatively connected to, the control module 500. This game mode selection module is configured to switch the intelligent chess device 10 to a specific game mode, such as the first game mode or the second game mode described above. More specifically, such as... Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure -10, the game mode selection module includes control buttons 580 that are communicatively connected to the control module 500, meaning that switching between the first game mode and the second game mode can be achieved by operating the control buttons 580. In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure -10, the intelligent chess device 10 can also be equipped with a first game mode indicator 550 for a first game mode and a second game mode indicator 560 for a second game mode. More specifically, the first game mode indicator 550 and the second game mode indicator 560 have different colors and / or patterns to distinguish different game modes. For example, both the first game mode indicator 550 and the second game mode indicator 560 can be configured to be controlled by the control module 500; more specifically, the control module 500 controls the operation of one of the first game mode indicator 550 and the second game mode indicator 560 in response to a game mode selection signal from the game mode selection module, such as changing from an off state to an on state, or changing from not flashing to flashing or flashing at a different frequency, or changing the color (e.g., from red to green), etc.

[0252] In some embodiments, the control module 500 is configured to determine the end of a game segment. In one specific implementation, such as Figure 8-10 As shown, the control module 500 can be configured to communicate with the winning piece recognition module 200. For example, the circuit board 510 of the control module 500 can be configured to communicate with the winning piece recognition circuit board 210 of the winning piece recognition module 200. More specifically, the control module 500 can be configured to receive a winning piece presence signal emitted by the winning piece recognition module 200 when it recognizes the presence of winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 in the winning area 120, and can determine whether the game phase has ended based on the winning piece presence signal. More specifically, the winning piece presence signal may include, depending on the game mode: a first winning piece presence signal and a second winning piece presence signal; or an overall winning piece presence signal. For example, in the first game mode described above, such as... Figure 4-7 As shown, in the mode where the winning piece includes a first half-winning piece 310 and a second half-winning piece 320, the winning piece identification module 200 can identify the presence of one of the first half-winning piece 310 and the second half-winning piece 320 in the winning area 120, for example, in a first rectangular section or a second rectangular section, and issue a first winning piece presence signal. It can also identify the presence of the other of the first half-winning piece 310 and the second half-winning piece 320 in the winning area 120, for example, in another first rectangular section or another second rectangular section, and issue a second winning piece presence signal. Based on receiving the first and second winning piece presence signals from the winning piece identification module 200 at different times, the control module 500 can determine that the corresponding game phase has ended. For example, in the second game mode described above, where the winning piece includes a single winning piece 330 (see reference...),... Figure 14-15In the mode of ), the decisive piece recognition module 200 can recognize the presence of the overall decisive piece 330 in the decisive area 120 and send an overall decisive piece presence signal. Based on receiving the overall decisive piece presence signal from the decisive piece recognition module 200, the control module 500 can determine that the corresponding game phase has ended.

[0253] In some embodiments, the control module 500 may also be configured to communicatively connect to the prompting module to control the operation of the prompting module. In one embodiment, the control module 500 is configured to control the prompting module to issue a game-end prompt message when it is determined that a corresponding game segment has ended. The game-end prompt message may be implemented as at least one of sound information, light information, and display information. In one specific embodiment, the prompting module may include a display device configured to display a game-end prompt pattern when a corresponding game segment ends. The game-end prompt pattern may be static, preferably dynamic, or have changing colors. Additionally or alternatively, the prompting module may also include a sound-emitting device 450, such as a megaphone-type sound-emitting device, configured to emit a corresponding sound prompt message when a corresponding game segment ends, such as a cheer or a beep. Additionally or alternatively, the prompting module may also include a light-emitting device 460 configured to emit a corresponding light prompt message when a corresponding game segment ends, such as changing from a non-light-emitting state to a light-emitting state, or changing the state of the emitted light, including color, pattern, blinking or not blinking, or blinking frequency. In one embodiment, such as Figure 8-10 As shown, the light-emitting device 460 may include a first set of LEDs 461. More specifically, the light-emitting device 460 is disposed near the deciding area 120. More specifically, the light-emitting device 460 may be configured to be electrically connected to the deciding recognition circuit board 210 of the deciding recognition module 200. The deciding recognition circuit board 210, and optionally the first set of LEDs 461, is located, for example, in the chessboard housing space defined by the chessboard housing 190. In one specific embodiment, as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 9, the decisive area 120 can be located at the bottom of the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100. In this case, the light-emitting device 460 can be placed close to the decisive area 120 on the bottom edge of the chessboard 100.

[0254] In some embodiments, the control module 500 is configured to control the prompting module to provide corresponding prompt information in response to the receipt of a winning piece presence signal. The prompt information may be implemented as at least one of sound information, light information, and display information. More specifically, in the first game mode, as long as at least one of the first half-winning piece 310 and the second half-winning piece 320 is in place in the deciding area 120, the winning piece identification module 200 can send a winning piece presence signal and transmit it to the control module 500, and then the control module 500 can control the prompting module to provide prompt information in response to the receipt of the winning piece presence signal. In one specific embodiment, the prompting module may include a light-emitting device 460, a sound-emitting device 450, or a display device similar to those described above.

[0255] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure -10, the intelligent chess device 10 may further include one or more control buttons 570, 580, and 590 communicatively connected to the control module 500. The control buttons 570, 580, and 590 can individually or in combination perform at least one of the following functions: powering on and off the intelligent chess device 10; selecting or switching between a first game mode and a second game mode; selecting or switching between game levels and / or game segments; starting the answer timer for the corresponding game segment; restarting the current game segment; entering and ending the teaching mode; selecting or switching between one or more teaching steps in the teaching mode; saving the current game level and / or current game segment; switching from the current game level and / or current game segment to the initial game level and / or initial game segment; switching to the saved game level and / or game segment; turning the sound device 450 on and off and adjusting its volume. More specifically, the control buttons 570, 580, and 590 can be configured as multi-function buttons, meaning that one control button can be configured to perform different functions. For example, control buttons 570, 580, and 590 can be configured to have different functions in different game modes or different game stages. As another example, control buttons 570, 580, and 590 can be configured to have different functions in the same game mode or the same game stage, with these different functions distinguished, for example, by the time they are pressed. In one specific embodiment, as shown in the figure, the intelligent chess device can be configured to include three control buttons 570, 580, and 590. More specifically, at least one of these three control buttons 570, 580, and 590 is a multi-function button, capable of individually or in combination with each other to perform at least one of the functions described above. To distinguish control buttons 570, 580, and 590, the control buttons 570, 580, and 590 may also include different shapes and / or colors and / or identification structures.

[0256] In a first embodiment of the winning piece recognition module 200, the winning piece recognition module 200 may be configured to include a first sensing component disposed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330, and a second sensing component disposed on the chessboard 100 corresponding to the winning area 120. The first sensing component may include a first sensing element, and the second sensing component may include a second sensing element. The second sensing element and the first sensing element are capable of interacting to generate a sensing signal. In one specific embodiment, the second sensing element may be disposed on the chessboard corresponding to each placement position unit 111 constituting the winning area 120. This is merely an example, as... Figure 11 , 12 As shown in Figure 15, the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 may be provided with winning piece housings 311, 321, and 331, respectively, and the first sensing component may be disposed in the piece-accommodating space defined by the winning piece housings 311, 321, and 331. As an example only, the chessboard 100 may be provided with a chessboard housing 190, and the second sensing component may be disposed in the chessboard-accommodating space defined by the chessboard housing 190. More specifically, the second sensing component is disposed in the chessboard 100, for example, in the chessboard-accommodating space, below the winning area 120.

[0257] According to the first implementation of the first embodiment, such as Figure 12 and 15 As shown, the first sensing element can be a sensing magnet, referred to herein as the first sensing magnet 230; the second sensing element can correspondingly be a magnetic induction circuit, and the first sensing magnet and the magnetic induction circuit can interact to generate an electromagnetic induction signal. For example, when the first sensing magnet 230 and the magnetic induction circuit approach each other, the change in the magnetic field can cause the magnetic induction circuit to conduct, thereby generating an induction signal, which allows the presence of the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 in the winning area 120 to be identified. In this case, the second sensing element, i.e., the magnetic induction circuit, can be electrically connected to the prompting module, and the prompting module can be placed on the chessboard 100. Alternatively, the magnetic induction circuit can be placed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330, i.e., as the first sensing element; correspondingly, the sensing magnet, referred to as the second sensing magnet, can be placed in the chessboard 100 as the second sensing element. In this case, the first sensing element, i.e., the magnetic induction circuit, can be electrically connected to the prompting module, and the prompting module can be placed on the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330. It should be noted that the designations “first” and “second” in the descriptions of “first induction magnet” and “second induction magnet” do not limit the performance of the induction magnets. The shape, size, and polarity of the “first induction magnet” and “second induction magnet” can be set to be the same or different from each other.

[0258] In one embodiment not shown, the magnetic induction circuit described above may include a reed switch.

[0259] In another embodiment, not shown, the magnetic induction circuit may include a pair of fittings configured to interact with corresponding induction magnets to activate the magnetic induction circuit. More specifically, the fittings may be mating induction magnets or metal parts. For example, in such an embodiment, the magnetic induction circuit may be normally open, i.e., open when the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 are not located in the deciding area 120, while when the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 are located in the deciding area 120, the fittings interact with the corresponding induction magnets, for example, by attraction or repulsion, thus causing the magnetic induction circuit to change from an open state to a closed or activated state, thereby generating an induction signal. Alternatively, the magnetic induction circuit can be configured to be normally closed, that is, closed or open when the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 are not located in the deciding area 120, and when the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 are located in the deciding area 120, the pieces will interact with the corresponding induction magnets, for example, by attraction or repulsion, and thus the magnetic induction circuit will change from closed or open to open, thereby generating an induction signal.

[0260] In yet another implementation, such as Figure 8-10 As shown, the magnetic induction circuit may include a Hall sensor 240.

[0261] When the magnetic induction circuit includes a Hall sensor 240, the intelligent chess device 10 may further include a magnetic positioning component configured for positioning the chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 on the chessboard 100. For example, this magnetic positioning component can generate a magnetic force to position the chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 on the chessboard 100, ensuring the pieces are stably attached to the board, preventing them from falling off and avoiding loss, thus facilitating the storage and portability of the intelligent chess device 10. More specifically, the magnetic positioning component may include a first magnetic element disposed among the plurality of chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 and a second magnetic element disposed on the chessboard 100, the second magnetic element interacting with the first magnetic element to generate a magnetic force.

[0262] In one embodiment not specifically shown, the first magnetic attractor in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 is a first induction magnet 230. The first magnetic attractor in the other pieces besides the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 is a first positioning magnet. The second magnetic attractor on the chessboard 100 is a first positioning metal piece, which may more specifically be an integral metal plate laid on the chessboard 100 corresponding to the playing area 110. In one specific embodiment, the polarity of the first positioning magnet is opposite to that of the first induction magnet, thereby ensuring that false sensing is avoided. More specifically, a first receiving cavity may be provided in the piece, and the first induction magnet 230 and the first positioning magnet may be disposed in the first receiving cavity of the respective piece. Alternatively, the first magnetic attractor is a second positioning metal piece disposed in the respective piece, which may include a second induction magnet and second positioning magnets disposed in areas of the chessboard 100 other than the winning area 120. In one specific embodiment, the polarity of the second positioning magnet is opposite to that of the second sensing magnet, thereby ensuring that false sensing is avoided. More specifically, the chessboard 100 may be provided with a second receiving cavity, and the second sensing magnet and the second positioning magnet may be disposed in the corresponding second receiving cavity.

[0263] In another embodiment, the Hall sensor 240 may be configured to interact with a sensing magnet having a given magnetic pole to generate a sensing signal, for example, in a... Figure 13 In the illustrated embodiment, it interacts with an induction magnet 230 whose polarity is S pole. In such an embodiment, as... Figure 11-15 As shown, when the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 are equipped with a first sensing magnet 230 and a Hall sensor 240 is provided on the chessboard 100, the first magnetic attracting element provided in the pieces can be a magnet, referred to as the first positioning magnet 250—the pieces here include the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 and non-winning pieces, such as the first type of piece 340 described elsewhere in this specification. Figure 16-17 ) and the second type of chess pieces 350 ( Figure 18-19 The second magnetic component set in the chessboard 100 can be a second positioning magnet 260, such as... Figure 8-9 As shown, the second positioning magnet 260 can generate a magnetic attraction with the first positioning magnet 250 to position the corresponding chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 on the chessboard 100. In this case, the first positioning magnet 250 and the first sensing magnet 230 are set to have opposite polarities, for example, especially in… Figure 12 , 13Clearly visible in 15. This allows the Hall sensor 240, which is positioned in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the deciding area 120, to accurately sense the first sensing magnet 230 on the deciding pieces 310, 320, and 330, without mistakenly sensing the first positioning magnet 250 on any piece, thus preventing the transmission of erroneous signals. More specifically, the first sensing magnet 230 is fixedly disposed on the deciding pieces 310, 320, and 330. By way of example and not exclusively, the deciding pieces 310, 320, and 330 may be provided with first sensing magnet receiving cavities 314, 324, and 334 for holding the first sensing magnet 230. Alternatively, if Hall sensors are provided in the deciding pieces 310, 320, and 330 and a second sensing magnet is provided in the chessboard 100, the first magnetic attractor in the pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 is a first positioning magnet, and the second magnetic attractor in the chessboard 100 is a second positioning magnet. In this case, the second positioning magnet and the second sensing magnet have opposite polarities. More specifically, the second sensing magnet is fixedly disposed on the chessboard 100. Exemplarily, and not exclusively, the chessboard 100 is provided with a second sensing magnet receiving cavity for holding the second sensing magnet, more specifically disposed in the chessboard 100 below the deciding area 120.

[0264] In some embodiments, when a first positioning magnet 250 is provided on the chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350, such as... Figure 12 , 15As shown in Figures 17 and 19, chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 may be provided with first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322, 332, 342, and 352, respectively, and the first positioning magnet 250 may be configured to be at least partially received in the first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322, 332, 342, and 352. In one specific embodiment, the first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322, 332, 342, and 352 are configured to hold the first positioning magnet 250 therein while also allowing the first positioning magnet 250 to swing within the first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322, 332, 342, and 352. More specifically, the first positioning magnet 250 is configured within the first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322a, 332a, 342a, and 352 to have a gap between itself and the first peripheral walls 312a, 322a, 332a, 342a, and 352, respectively, allowing for oscillation. More specifically, this gap is configured such that: when not oscillating, the bottom surface of the first positioning magnet 250 rests on the bottom wall of the first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322, 332, 342, and 352; and during oscillation, an angle, termed a first oscillation angle, is formed between the bottom surface of the first positioning magnet 250 and the bottom wall of the first positioning magnet receiving cavities 312, 322, 332, 342, and 352. Exemplarily, and not exclusively, this first oscillation angle is less than or equal to 45°. The first positioning magnet 250 is, for example, a circular magnet, as shown in the figure. Of course, in other embodiments, the first positioning magnet 250 may also have other shapes. Additionally or alternatively, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the chessboard 100 may also include a second positioning magnet receiving cavity 130, in which the second positioning magnet 260 can be at least partially accommodated. In one specific embodiment, the second positioning magnet receiving cavity 130 is configured to hold the second positioning magnet 260 within it while allowing the second positioning magnet 260 to swing within the cavity. More specifically, the second positioning magnet 260 is configured to have a gap between itself and the second peripheral wall of the cavity 130, such a gap being configured to allow swinging. More specifically, such a gap is configured such that: when not swinging, the bottom surface of the second positioning magnet 260 rests on the bottom wall of the cavity 130; and when swinging, the angle formed between the bottom surface of the second positioning magnet 260 and the bottom wall of the cavity 130 is called the second swing angle. Exemplarily, and not exclusively, this second swing angle is less than or equal to 45°. The second positioning magnet 260 is, for example, a circular magnet. Figure 9As shown. Of course, in other embodiments, the first positioning magnet 260 may also have other shapes. Thus, a gap is left between the first positioning magnet 250 and the first positioning magnet receiving cavity 312, 322, 332, 342, 352 and / or the second positioning magnet 260 and the second positioning magnet receiving cavity 130, so that during the game, the interaction force (e.g., including repulsive force, attractive force or the resultant force of the two) between the first positioning magnet 250 and the second positioning magnet 260 will change accordingly due to the change in the distance between the first positioning magnet 250 and the second positioning magnet 260, thereby causing the first positioning magnet 250 and / or the second positioning magnet 260 to... During the movement of the chess piece, if it swings, the swing of the first positioning magnet 250 will impact the inner wall of the first positioning magnet receiving cavity 312, 322, 332, 342, 352 and / or the swing of the second positioning magnet 260 will impact the inner wall of the second positioning magnet receiving cavity 130, thereby producing an impact sound or vibration. This impact sound or vibration will be transmitted to the user, letting the user know that the chess piece 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 is being moved to a certain placement position or has been placed in a certain placement position, thus providing a better interactive effect.

[0265] It should be noted that when the first sensing magnet 230 is installed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 and the Hall sensor 240 is installed in the chessboard 100, the swing angle of the second positioning magnet 260 in the second positioning magnet receiving cavity 130 can be greater than 45° or even flipped. That is, during assembly, it is not strictly necessary for the second positioning magnet 260 and the first positioning magnet 250 to have opposite polarities. This allows for improved installation efficiency of the second positioning magnet 260 while still meeting the requirements for voice interaction. More specifically, in this case, the height of the second positioning magnet receiving cavity 130 can be set lower. Similarly, when the Hall sensor is installed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 and the second sensing magnet is installed in the chessboard 110, the swing angle of the first positioning magnet in the piece in the first positioning magnet receiving cavity can be greater than 45° or even flipped. In this case, it is not strictly necessary for the first positioning magnet and the second positioning magnet to have opposite polarities during assembly. More specifically, in this case, the height of the first positioning magnet receiving cavity can be set lower.

[0266] As mentioned above, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the decisive area 120 of the playing area 110 on the chessboard 100 can be set as a square area. The decisive area 120 can be divided into two first rectangular parts with equal areas by a first central axis AL1, and can be divided into two second rectangular parts with equal areas by a second central axis AL2 perpendicular to the first central axis AL1.

[0267] As mentioned above, the intelligent chess device 10 may include a first game mode, and in the first game mode, it can be configured such that when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding first rectangular section, the corresponding game phase ends, such as... Figure 4-5 As shown; and / or, the intelligent chess device 10 can be configured such that when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding second rectangular section, the corresponding game phase ends, as shown. Figure 6-7 As shown. More specifically, the shape of each of the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 is set to match the shape of each of the first rectangular portion and the second rectangular portion. In this case, in one embodiment, as... Figure 11-12 As shown, each of the first semi-decisive piece 310 and the second semi-decisive piece 320 has a first square portion and a second square portion of equal area, divided by a width direction line WL1 passing through the center. Each of the first semi-decisive piece 310 and the second semi-decisive piece 320 may have a first positioning magnet 250 disposed at the center of its first square portion and the center of its second square portion; and the deciding area 120 may be divided by the aforementioned first central axis AL1 and second central axis AL2 into four third square portions of equal area (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and 3 As shown), a second positioning magnet 260 can be set in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of each of the four third squares (e.g., ...). Figure 8-9 (As shown). Furthermore, in this embodiment, each of the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 may have a first induction magnet 230 disposed at its center. Figure 12 Furthermore, a Hall sensor, referred to as a bias Hall sensor 240a, is provided in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of each of its first rectangular portions and / or the center of each of its second rectangular portions. Figure 8-9(As shown). Note that "offset" here refers to an offset relative to the center of the deciding area 120. More specifically, if the intelligent chess device 10 is configured such that the game phase ends when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding first rectangular portion, then an offset Hall sensor 240a is provided in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of each of the first rectangular portions; if the intelligent chess device 10 is configured such that the game phase ends when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding second rectangular portion, then an offset Hall sensor 240a is provided in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of each of the second rectangular portions. A bias Hall sensor 240a is provided on the board. If the intelligent chess device 10 is configured such that the game phase ends when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding first rectangular section, and the intelligent chess device 10 is also configured such that the game phase ends when the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are each in a corresponding second rectangular section, then a bias Hall sensor 240a is provided on the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of each first rectangular section and the center of each second rectangular section. Alternatively, a Hall sensor can be provided at the center of each of the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320, and a second sensing magnet, referred to as a bias second magnet, can be provided on the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of each first rectangular section and / or the center of each second rectangular section. Similarly, "bias" here refers to an offset relative to the center of the deciding area 120.

[0268] As mentioned above, in addition to the first game mode, the intelligent chess device 10 can also include a second game mode, and can be configured such that in the second game mode, the corresponding game segment ends when the overall winning pieces 330 are in the deciding zone 120. More specifically, as... Figure 14 and 15 As shown, the shape of the overall winning piece 330 can be configured to match the shape of the winning area 120. In such an embodiment, a first positioning magnet 250 can be provided in the overall winning piece 330 corresponding to the second positioning magnet 260 in the winning area 120. In an embodiment not shown, a first sensing magnet can be provided in the overall winning piece 330 corresponding to the aforementioned bias Hall sensor 240a on the chessboard 100; or a Hall sensor can be provided in the overall winning piece 330 corresponding to the bias second sensing magnet on the chessboard 100. In another embodiment, such as Figure 8-9 As shown, a Hall sensor, referred to as a center Hall sensor 240b, can be installed in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of the deciding area 120; as Figure 15As shown, the overall winning piece 330 can have a first sensing magnet 230 at its center, referred to as the central first sensing magnet 230b; or, a second sensing magnet, referred to as the central second sensing magnet, can be provided in the chessboard 100 corresponding to the center of the winning area 120, and the overall winning piece 330 can have a Hall sensor at its center, referred to as the central Hall sensor. In this other embodiment, more specifically, as... Figure 15 As shown, the overall winning piece 330 may further include at least one additional first sensing magnet, i.e., at least one additional first sensing magnet is provided. This at least one additional first sensing magnet is correspondingly provided with at least one of the bias Hall sensors 240a in the chessboard 100, and is therefore also called a bias first sensing magnet 230a (i.e., it is biased relative to the center of the overall winning piece 330). More specifically, the overall winning piece 330 may also be divided into two rectangles of equal area by its first central axis AL3, referred to as a third rectangle, and further divided into two rectangles of equal area by a second central axis AL4 perpendicular to its first central axis AL3, referred to as a third rectangle. The at least one additional first sensing magnet, i.e., at least one bias first sensing magnet 230a, may be provided at the center of at least one of the two third rectangles and the two fourth rectangles. Therefore, it can be configured such that the overall winning piece 330 is located in the winning area 120 only when the central Hall sensor 240b and the central first sensing magnet 230b generate a sensing signal, and simultaneously the at least one additional first sensing magnet 230a and the corresponding bias Hall sensor 240a also generate a sensing signal. This allows for a more accurate determination of the presence of the overall winning piece 330 in the winning area 120 without interfering with other pieces besides the overall winning piece 330. Alternatively, in this other embodiment, more specifically, the winning piece 330 may also include at least one additional Hall sensor, i.e., at least one additional Hall sensor is provided, which is correspondingly set to at least one of the bias second magnets in the chessboard 100, and is therefore a "biased" Hall sensor among the overall winning pieces. The effect achieved by this setting is the same as above, and will not be repeated.

[0269] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the deciding area 120 can be set as a square area with a length and width of 2 units, and the first semi-decisive piece 310 and the second semi-decisive piece 320 can each be set as a rectangular piece with a length of 2 units and a width of 1 unit. More specifically, as... Figure 14-15 As shown, the overall winning piece 330 can be set as a square piece with a length and width of 2 units.

[0270] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12-19 As shown, the chess pieces in the intelligent chess device 10, excluding the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330, include a first type of piece 340 and a second type of piece 350. Each of the first type of piece 340 can be a square piece with a length and width of 1 unit, and each of the second type of piece 340 can be a rectangle with a length of 2 units and a width of 1 unit. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 17 As shown, the first positioning magnet 250 of each of the first type of chess pieces 340 can be disposed at the center; each of the second type of chess pieces 350 can have two square portions of equal area divided by a width direction line WL2 passing through the center, referred to as a fourth square portion, and each second type of chess piece 350 can have a first positioning magnet 250 at the center of each fourth square portion. More specifically, as Figure 8 As schematically shown, the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100 can be divided into multiple square chessboard areas, each with a length and width of 1 unit. Except for the deciding area 120, a second positioning magnet 260 is provided in the chessboard 110 corresponding to the center of each square chessboard area. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, one square chessboard area can correspond to one placement position unit 111. Also exemplary, but not exclusively, the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100 can have 4 rows by 5 columns of square chessboard areas.

[0271] More specifically, it can be set that the second type of piece 350 has different colors and / or different identity identification structures from the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320. Regarding the identity identification structure, for example... Figure 11 and 18 As shown, the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 may have generally triangular identity marker structures 313 and 323, while the second type of piece 350 may have a generally rectangular identity marker structure 353; and / or the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 have the same color and / or the same identity marker structure; and / or the first type of piece 340 has a different color and / or a different identity marker structure than the second type of piece 340 and the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320, for example, as Figure 16 As shown, the first type of piece 340 may have a circular identity recognition structure 343; and / or the overall winning piece 330 may have a different color and / or a different identity recognition structure than the first type of piece 340 and the second type of piece 350, such as Figure 14 As shown, the overall winning piece 330 may have a generally triangular identity marker structure 333; and / or the overall winning piece 330 has the same color as the first semi-winning piece 310 and the second semi-winning piece 320.

[0272] In a second embodiment (not shown) of the first embodiment of the winning piece recognition module 200, the first sensor disposed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 can be a color sensing area, while the second sensor disposed in the chessboard 100 can be a light signal sensor. This light signal sensor can be electrically connected to the prompting module, in which case the prompting module can be disposed on the chessboard 100. Alternatively, conversely, the first sensor disposed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 can be a light signal sensor, while the second sensor disposed in the chessboard 100 can be a color sensing area. This light signal sensor can be electrically connected to the prompting module, in which case the prompting module can be disposed on the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330. In a more specific embodiment, the intelligent chess device 10 may include a magnetic positioning component, which is configured for positioning the pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 on the chessboard 100. More specifically, the magnetic positioning assembly may include a first magnetic element disposed in chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350, and a second magnetic element disposed in the chessboard 100. The second magnetic element can interact with the first magnetic element to generate a magnetic attraction force. The specific configuration of the first and second magnetic elements can be found above and will not be repeated here.

[0273] In the third embodiment (not shown) of the first embodiment of the winning piece recognition module 200, the first sensing element disposed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 is a metal element, and the second sensing element disposed in the chessboard 100 can be a metal sensing device. The metal sensing device can be configured to be electrically connected to the prompting module, in which case the prompting module can be disposed on the chessboard 100; or the first sensing element disposed in the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 is a metal sensing device, and the second sensing element disposed in the chessboard 100 is correspondingly a metal element. The metal sensing device can be configured to be electrically connected to the prompting module, in which case the prompting module can be disposed on the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330.

[0274] According to a second embodiment (not shown) of the winning piece recognition module 200, the winning piece recognition module 200 may include a pressure generating component and a pressure sensor. In one embodiment, the pressure generating component includes a first pressure generating element disposed on the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330, and a second pressure generating element disposed on the chessboard 100 corresponding to the winning area 120. The second pressure generating element is configured to interact with the first pressure generating element to generate pressure. More specifically, the first pressure generating element is a magnet, the second pressure generating element is a metal element, and the pressure sensor is disposed in the chessboard 100 to sense the pressure of the second pressure generating element. The pressure sensor may be electrically connected to the prompting module, in which case the prompting module may be disposed on the chessboard 100; or, the second pressure generating element is a magnet, the first pressure generating element is a metal element, and the pressure sensor is disposed on the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 to sense the pressure of the first pressure generating element. The pressure sensor may be electrically connected to the prompting module, in which case the prompting module may be disposed on the winning pieces 310, 320, and 330.

[0275] According to a third embodiment (not shown) of the winning piece recognition module, the winning piece recognition module 200 may include a button module disposed on the chessboard 100 corresponding to the winning area 120. This button module may include one or more buttons and circuitry controlled by the buttons. More specifically, when the winning area 120 is a square region, as described above, buttons may be disposed at each of the two first rectangular portions; and / or, buttons may be disposed at each of the two second rectangular portions. More specifically, in this case, the intelligent chess device 10 includes a magnetic positioning component configured for positioning the pieces on the chessboard. The specific configuration of the magnetic positioning component can be found above and will not be repeated here.

[0276] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the intelligent chess device 10 may further include a display device 400, which provides various display information. The control module 500 of the intelligent chess device 10 may also be configured to control the operation of the display device 400. In one specific embodiment, the display device mentioned in the prompt module may be the same display device as the display device 400 described here, i.e., the display device 400 is also part of the aforementioned prompt module; alternatively, the display device mentioned in the prompt module may be a different display device from the one described here. In one specific embodiment, as shown, the display device 400 is disposed on the chessboard 100.

[0277] In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 may be configured to include a game operation mode. The game operation mode is a game mode in which the user actually plays the game, for example, in which the user plans and completes each move in each game phase. In the game operation mode, each game phase may include a question-posing phase and a question-answering phase. The control module 500 may also be configured to control the display device 400 to display the question layout at least during the question-posing phase. The question layout guides the user to place the pieces corresponding to the displayed question layout on the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100 during the question-posing phase; this piece layout is the same as the piece layout at the start of the question-answering phase. The question-answering phase is the phase where the user "answers the questions," more specifically, how the user moves step by step from the question layout given in the question-posing phase until the game is won or ends. In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 may also be configured to switch between the question-posing phase and the question-answering phase within a game phase. According to one implementation, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the intelligent chess device 10 can switch from the question-setting stage to the answering stage via the control button 590 which is communicatively connected to the control module 500; alternatively, the display screen 410 of the display device 400 can be a touch screen, and the intelligent chess device 10 can be set to switch from the question-setting stage to the answering stage via the touch screen.

[0278] In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 may be configured to include one or more game levels, each game level comprising one or more game stages. In a more specific embodiment, the intelligent chess device 10 may include a memory accessible by the control module 500, or the memory may be part of the control module 500. A question bank may be stored in the memory, comprising multiple questions, which are divided into one or more game levels and one or more game stages corresponding to each game level. That is, each question corresponds to a specific game level, and more specifically, to a specific game stage within that game level.

[0279] In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 can also be configured to select or switch corresponding game levels and / or game stages, such as selecting a game level and / or game stage before a game stage begins, or switching from the current game stage to a game level and / or game stage. More specifically, such as Figure 1-10As shown, the intelligent chess device 10 can be configured to select or switch game levels and / or game stages via at least one control button 570, 580 communicatively connected to the control module 500. For example, two such control buttons can be used, with one control button 570 used for forward selection or switching of game levels and / or game stages, and the other control button 580 used for backward selection or switching of game levels and / or game stages. It should be noted that these control buttons 570, 580, and 590 can all be configured as multi-functional control buttons, meaning they can perform multiple control functions. Alternatively, the display screen 410 of the display device 400 can be a touchscreen, in which case the intelligent chess device 10 can be configured to select or switch game levels and / or game stages via the touchscreen.

[0280] In some embodiments, the control module 500 can also be configured to automatically switch the intelligent chess device 10 to the next game stage or the next game level after determining that the corresponding game stage has ended. According to one embodiment, if the current game stage is not the last game stage of the current game level, the control module 500 controls the intelligent chess device 10 to automatically switch to the next game stage of the current game level after determining that the current game stage has ended; if the current game stage is the last game stage of the current game level, the control module 500 controls the intelligent chess device 10 to automatically switch to the first game stage of the next game level after determining that the current game stage has ended. In a specific embodiment, automatically switching to the next game stage or the next game level means entering the question-setting stage of the next game stage or the next game level, including the control module 500 controlling the display device 400 to display the corresponding question layout. According to a more specific embodiment, the control module 500 is configured to automatically switch the intelligent chess device 10 to the next game stage or the next game level after determining that the corresponding game stage has ended and after the control prompt module completes the game end prompt information. As shown above, depending on the implementation, the game over notification information may include at least one of sound information, light information, and display information. For example, the display device 400, as part of the notification module, may display a game over notification pattern, such as a dynamic pattern.

[0281] In some embodiments, the control module 500 can also be configured to further determine the presence or absence of winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 in the deciding area 120 after the conclusion of the corresponding game phase, and configured to control the intelligent chess device 10 to automatically switch to the next game phase or the next game level only when it is determined that winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 are absent from the deciding area 120. More specifically, after the current game phase ends, i.e., after both the first half-winning piece 310 and the second half-winning piece 320 are in the deciding area 120 in the first game mode, or after all winning pieces 330 are in the deciding area 120 in the second game mode, further user action is required, i.e., the action of removing winning pieces 310, 320, and 330 from the deciding area 120, to trigger the intelligent chess device 10 to switch to the next game phase or the next game level. In a more specific implementation, after the control module 500 determines that a certain game segment has ended and before the control module 500 controls the intelligent chess device 10 to automatically switch to the next game segment or the next game level, the control module 500 controls the prompt module to provide a game-ending prompt message. For example, the control module 500 can control the prompt module to provide a game-ending prompt message for a certain period of time after determining that the game has ended; alternatively, the control module 500 can control at least one part of the prompt module, such as at least one of the sound device 450, the light-emitting device 460, and the display device 400, to continuously or cyclically provide a game-ending prompt message before switching to the next game segment or the next game level.

As mentioned above, the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100 can include a plurality of placement position units 111. Each placement position unit 111 can be a square chessboard area with a length and width of 1 unit. The arrangement of the plurality of LED light units 420 corresponds to the arrangement of the plurality of placement position units 111. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, the placement position units of the playing area 110 of the chessboard 100 can be arranged in a 4x5 array. Figure 8 Similarly, the LED units 420 of the second LED assembly can also be arranged in a 4-row x 5-column array.

[0283] In some embodiments, the control module 500 is further configured to control the operation of the second LED light assembly to identify different chess pieces 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 by controlling different display colors and / or patterns and / or identifiers of the multiple LED light units 420 of the second LED light assembly when the display device 400 displays the chess layout. It also controls whether the corresponding chess placement position unit 111 should be placed by controlling whether the corresponding LED light unit 420 is in an off state or an on state. For example, if the LED light unit 420 is in an off state, it means that the chess placement position unit 111 corresponding to it in the chess playing area 110 should not be placed, and only the chess placement position unit 111 corresponding to the lit LED light unit 420 in the chess playing area 110 should be placed. Different pieces include, for example, the overall winning piece 330, the first semi-winning piece 310, the second semi-winning piece 320 (note that the second semi-winning piece 320 and the first semi-winning piece 310 can be displayed indistinguishably), the first type of piece 340, and the second type of piece 350, etc. In one specific implementation, such as Figure 14-15 As shown, the overall winning piece 330 is a square piece with a length and width of 2 units. Optionally, the overall winning piece 330 is orange; optionally, the overall winning piece 330 has an overall triangular identification structure 333. In this case, in the question layout displayed on the display device 400, the LED light unit 420 representing the overall winning piece 330 can be controlled to emit orange light, and four LED light units 420 arranged in a square can be used to represent the overall winning piece 330. In one specific embodiment, as... Figure 11-12 As shown, the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 can be rectangular pieces with a length of 2 units and a width of 1 unit; optionally, the first semi-final piece 310 and the second semi-final piece 320 are orange in color, and optionally have an overall triangular identification structure 313, 323. In this case, in the question layout displayed on the display device 400, the LED light unit 420 representing the first semi-final piece 310 or the second semi-final piece 320 can be controlled to emit orange light, and at this time, two LED light units 420 arranged in a rectangle can be used to represent the first semi-final piece 310 or the second semi-final piece 320. In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 16-17As shown, the first type of chess piece 340 can be a square chess piece with a length and width of 1 unit; optionally, the first type of chess piece 340 is yellow in color and optionally has a circular marker structure. In this case, in the problem layout displayed on the display device 400, the LED light unit 420 representing the first type of chess piece 340 can be controlled to emit yellow light, and at this time, one LED light unit 420 displaying the square area can be used to represent each first type of chess piece 340. In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 18-19 As shown, the second type of chess piece 350 can be a rectangular piece with a length of 2 units and a width of 1 unit; optionally, the second type of chess piece 350 is purple in color and optionally has a rectangular identification structure 353. In this case, in the question layout displayed on the display device 400, the LED light unit 420 representing the second type of chess piece 350 can be controlled to emit purple light, and two LED light units 420 arranged in a rectangle can be used to represent each second type of chess piece 350.

[0284] In some embodiments, at least during the question-posing phase of the corresponding game segment, the control module 500 controls the LED light unit 420 representing at least one piece or at least one class of pieces to flash. This flashing can be used to indicate that the current phase is still in the question-posing phase. In a more specific embodiment, during the answering phase of the corresponding game segment, the control module 500 controls the display device 400 to display the question layout in a non-flickering manner. Similarly, flashing or non-flickering can be used to distinguish between the question-posing phase and the answering phase. Alternatively, during the answering phase of the corresponding game segment, the control module 500 may also control the display device 400 to stop displaying the question layout.

[0285] In some embodiments, the control module 500 is further configured to control the display device 400 to statically or dynamically display the current game level and / or the current game stage level before the start of each game segment. For example, displaying for 1-3 seconds. In one specific embodiment, the control module 500 controls the display device 400 to simultaneously display two numbers, one representing the current game level and the other representing the current game stage level. In another specific embodiment, the control module 500 controls the display device 400 to display two numbers sequentially, where the first number represents the current game level and the second number represents the current game stage level.

[0286] In some embodiments, the control module 500 is further configured to time the entire answering phase of the corresponding game segment.

Timing is triggered by the timing control button, which is, for example, a timing control button... Figure 1-10The control button 590 is shown in the diagram. More specifically, in the corresponding game phase, after completing the question-setting phase, the user can communicate with the control module 500 by pressing the timing control button 590. In response, the control module 500 starts timing the answering phase, and the user also enters the answering phase. Therefore, the timing control button 590 can also be regarded as a switch button from the question-setting phase to the answering phase. According to another specific embodiment, the display screen 410 of the display device 400 can be set as a touch screen, and the intelligent chess device 10 triggers the timing of the answering phase via the touch screen. In one embodiment, when the winning piece recognition module 200 recognizes that the first semi-winning piece 310 and the second semi-winning piece 320 are both in the winning zone 120 (corresponding to the first game mode) or recognizes that the entire winning piece 330 is in the winning zone 120 (corresponding to the second game mode), the control module 500 stops timing. More specifically, as described above, the control module 500 stops timing when it determines that the current game phase has ended. In one embodiment, the control module 500 is further configured to control the display device 400 to statically or dynamically display the timing results at the end of each game segment.

[0287] In some embodiments, the intelligent chess device 10 may further include a teaching mode corresponding to a specific game segment.

More specifically, in a game segment, the switch from normal mode, such as from game practice mode, to teaching mode can be implemented after the problem-solving phase of the corresponding game segment ends. After such a switch, the teaching phase of the teaching mode begins. Specifically, the intelligent chess device 10 may be configured to enable the switch from the problem-solving phase to the teaching phase of a specific game segment. According to a specific embodiment, the intelligent chess device 10 is configured to switch from the problem-solving phase to the teaching phase via a control button 590 communicatively connected to the control module 500. This control button 590 may be a multi-functional control button, meaning it can also perform other control functions. Alternatively, the display screen 410 of the display device 400 can be a touch screen, in which case the intelligent chess device 10 can be configured to switch from the problem-setting stage to the teaching stage via the touch screen.

[0288] In some embodiments, during the teaching phase of the teaching mode, the control module 500 controls the display device 400 to display the piece layout corresponding to each teaching step. More specifically, during the teaching phase, in each teaching step, the control module 500 controls the display device 400 to display dynamic changes representing the next move, which includes moving the piece to be moved from the current position to the next position. More specifically, this dynamic change may include first causing the current LED unit 420 representing the piece to be moved corresponding to the current position to flash and then turn off, and then causing the next LED unit 420 representing the next position to turn on from the off state to indicate that the piece has been moved. In one embodiment, the intelligent chess device 10 may also be configured to switch from the current teaching step to the next teaching step or from the current teaching step to the previous teaching step via control buttons 570, 580 communicatively connected to the control module 500.
