[0011] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention as claimed, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Furthermore, the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar components, and redundant explanations will be omitted.
[0012] <External configuration of the performance output toy> An example of the external configuration of the effect output toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 1(b) show the external front view of the effect output toy 100. Note that the x, y, and z arrows indicate the upward, left, and forward directions of the model toy, respectively, and this also applies to the other drawings.
[0013] 1(a) shows the front view of the appearance of the effect output toy 100 with the lid closed. The effect output toy 100 is composed of a main toy body 101, a secondary toy body 102, and a belt 103. The effect output toy 100 of this embodiment is configured as a buckle to be attached to the belt 103, but is not limited to this and may be configured as any other toy.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 1(b), the main toy body 101 includes a lid 110 and a body 120. The lid 110 can be opened and closed between a closed state shown in FIG. 1(a) and an open state shown in FIG. 1(b). The body 120 has a connector for connecting the secondary toy body 102. The secondary toy body 102 has identification information for identifying the type of secondary toy body, and can be detachably connected to the connector provided on the body 120 by opening the lid 110 of the main toy body 101. The secondary toy body 102 includes multiple types, and each type is assigned identification information. The identification information may be unique or variable. As described below, the identification information can be identified by a combination of two resistors. Therefore, the unique identification information means that the two resistors are unique to the type of secondary toy body, and the combination of resistors cannot be changed. On the other hand, the variable identification information means that a mechanism is introduced that allows the combination of two resistors to be switched, allowing multiple combinations to be used. The mechanism for making the resistors variable is not limited, but for example, three or more resistors can be provided in one secondary toy body, and a mechanism such as a switch can be provided that can select the resistor to be connected to the main toy body in a circuit manner, allowing two combinations of resistors to be selectively switched and connected to the main toy body. Alternatively, two variable resistors whose resistance values can be dynamically changed can be provided. By using such variable identification information, a single secondary toy body can be used to create a wider variety of effects.
[0015] By connecting secondary toy bodies 102 to the main toy body 101, the present effect output toy 100 can produce a variety of effect outputs depending on the type of secondary toy body 102. Note that in this embodiment, an example in which one connection part is provided will be described, but this is not intended to limit the present invention, and a configuration in which multiple connection parts are provided may also be used. In this case, different types of secondary toy bodies 102 may be connected to each connection part. Furthermore, the effect output may be changed depending on the combination of types of secondary toy bodies 102 connected.
[0016] <Connection of secondary toy body> The connection of the secondary toy body according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 2. Figures 2(a) and (b) show perspective views of the main toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102. For ease of explanation, the cover 110 of the main toy body 101 is omitted from the illustration. In other words, the main toy body 101 is shown in a state where the secondary toy body 102 can be connected, just as when the cover 110 is in an open position.
[0017] 2(a) shows the state before the secondary toy body 102 is connected. The secondary toy body 102 is connected to the connection part 201 from the top of the main toy body 101 in the direction of the arrow. Normally, the connection part 201 is covered by the lid part 110, so the secondary toy body 102 cannot be connected, but it can be connected by opening the lid part 110.
[0018] Connection part 201 is a recess formed near the center of main body 120, with a connection pin such as a pogo pin exposed at the bottom near the center. By pressing a protrusion on the bottom of secondary toy body 102 against the connection pin, main toy body 101 and secondary toy body 102 are electrically connected, and electrical circuits provided in main toy body 101 and secondary toy body 102 become conductive. The detailed configuration of the connection part will be described later using Figure 3.
[0019] FIG. 2(b) shows the secondary toy body 102 connected to the main toy body 101. The main toy body 101 is further provided with a controller 202. The controller 202 is a controller that triggers a performance output, and in this embodiment, a push-button is used as an example. Note that the present invention is not limited to such a controller, and other controllers such as a lever may also be applied to the present invention. A performance output can be produced by operating the controller 202 while the secondary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101. The type of performance output may also be switched each time the controller 202 is operated. Alternatively, multiple controllers may be provided, and different performances may be output by operating each controller. The performance output is produced by combining a variety of outputs, such as sound output from a speaker and light output from a light-emitting element such as an LED.
[0020] <Connection configuration> The detailed configuration of the connection part 201 of the main toy body 101 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 3. Figure 3(a) shows a plan view of the main toy body 101 with the lid part 110 removed. Figure 3(b) shows an enlarged view of the connection part 201. Figure 3(c) shows a bottom view of the secondary toy body 102.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 3(a), the connection part 201 is formed near the center of the main toy body 101. A linking part 301 is provided near the center of the connection part 201. As shown in FIG. 3(b), the linking part 301 is provided with connection pins such as pogo pins, and in this embodiment, three connection pins are exposed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3(c), the linking part 302 is formed in a convex shape on the bottom of the sub-toy body 102. The number of connection pins can be changed depending on the configuration of the electric circuit formed together with the sub-toy body.
[0022] When connecting the secondary toy body 102 to the main toy body 101, the connecting pin provided on the connecting part 301 of the main toy body 101 is pushed in by the connecting part 302 of the secondary toy body 102. When the connecting pin is pushed in, it is electrically connected to the electric circuit inside the main toy body 101 and also to the electric circuit of the secondary toy body 102 that comes into contact with the connecting pin. Therefore, the connecting part 302 of the secondary toy body 102 is also formed to contain a conductive material. The circuit configuration of the main toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102 will be described later using Figure 4.
[0023] <Circuit configuration> The electrical circuit configuration of the performance output toy according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 shows the electrical circuit configuration of the main toy body 101 and the sub toy body 102.
[0024] The main toy body 101 includes a circuit configuration including a first resistor 401, a second resistor 402, a power supply 405, and voltmeters 407 and 408. 411, 412, and 413 indicate connection pins of the connecting part 301. The voltmeters 407 and 408 are included in an IC 406. The IC 406 is an example of an identification means for identifying the type of the sub-toy body 102 by measuring the voltage at a predetermined point in the circuit. Meanwhile, the sub-toy body 102 includes a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404 as part of its circuit configuration. 421, 422, and 423 indicate connection terminals of the connecting part 302.
[0025] When the secondary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, the connection terminals 421-423 are electrically connected to the corresponding connection pins 411-413. As shown in FIG. 4, the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402 of the main toy body 101 are connected in parallel to the power supply 405. When the main toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102 are connected, the first resistor 401 of the main toy body 101 and the third resistor of the secondary toy body 102 form a series part connected in series to the power supply 405. Furthermore, the second resistor 402 of the main toy body 101 and the fourth resistor of the secondary toy body 102 form a series part connected in series to the power supply 405.
[0026] The IC 406 can detect that the secondary toy body 102 has been connected to the main toy body 101 by detecting a current flowing through the connection pins 411 to 413. When the connection of the secondary toy body 102 is detected, the IC 406 measures the voltage at the measurement point 431, where the voltage is divided by the first resistor 401 and the third resistor 403, which are connected in series, using the voltmeter 407. Furthermore, the IC 406 measures the voltage at the measurement point 432, where the voltage is divided by the first resistor 402 and the third resistor 404, which are connected in series, using the voltmeter 408. The voltages at the measurement points 431 and 432 can be expressed by the following equation 1. Vx=(VxB) / (A+B)...(Formula 1) Here, Vx represents the voltage at the measurement point, V represents the voltage of the power supply 405, A represents the resistance value of the first resistor 401 or the second resistor 402, and B represents the resistance value of the third resistor 403 or the fourth resistor 404.
[0027] For example, suppose V is 3 V, resistor A is 1 Ω, and resistor B is 1 Ω. In this case, the voltage Vx at the measurement point is 1.5 V. On the other hand, suppose V is 3 V, resistor A is 1 Ω, and resistor B is 2 Ω. In this case, the voltage Vx at the measurement point is 2 V. Thus, according to this embodiment, by changing the resistance values of the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 of the secondary toy body 102, the voltage value at the measurement point can be changed, and the type of the connected secondary toy body 102 can be identified based on the measured voltage. In other words, according to this embodiment, different types of secondary toy bodies can be represented depending on the combination of the resistance values of the two resistors provided in the secondary toy body 102, and the performance output pattern can be changed depending on the type. The resistance values of the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402 provided in the main toy body 101 are fixed.
[0028] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, two resistors are provided in each of the main toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102. This is because there is a limit to the number of resistance values that the IC 406 can distinguish, and if only one resistor were used, the number of types of secondary toy body 102 would depend on that number. Therefore, by using two resistors, the number of types of secondary toy body 102 that can be distinguished can be further increased depending on the combination pattern of the resistance values. Therefore, although this embodiment shows an example including two types of resistors, it is desirable to change the number of resistors provided depending on the number of types of secondary toy body to be distinguished. Of course, a configuration using only one resistor is also possible.
[0029] <Control configuration> Referring to Figure 5, the control configuration for controlling the performance output of the main toy body 101 and the sub toy body 102 according to this embodiment will be described. Note that here, a configuration with an IC is shown as the control configuration for the sub toy body 102. Note that the present invention may also include a configuration without an IC for the sub toy body 102. The sub toy body 102 without an IC does not have the control configuration described below, and is provided with only a substrate including a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404.
[0030] The main toy body 101 includes a control unit 501, a memory unit 502, a power supply unit 503, an identification unit 504, a group of LEDs 506, a group of switches 507, and a speaker 508 as its control components. The control unit 501 controls the performance output and includes an IC 406. The memory unit 502 stores performance output data and identification information for the secondary toy body in association with each other. When the secondary toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, the identification unit 504 measures the voltage at predetermined measurement points 431 and 432 using voltmeters 407 and 408, and identifies the type of secondary toy body 102 based on the measurement results. When performing a performance output, the control unit 501 reads and uses the performance output data corresponding to the identified secondary toy body from the memory unit 502. The control unit 501, the memory unit 502, and the identification unit 504 may be included on the same board as the IC 406, or on different boards.
[0031] The power supply unit 503 supplies power to each unit from a power supply 405 such as a battery connected to the main toy body 101. The switch group 507 is a group of controls that trigger performance output, including buttons, levers, switches, etc. such as the controls 202. The LED group 506 is a light-emitting device that includes one or more LED elements and is used for performance output. The speaker 508 is a sound output device that is used for performance output. When the control unit 501 detects operation of any of the controls included in the switch group 507, it performs performance output using at least one of the LED group 506 and the speaker 508.
[0032] On the other hand, the secondary toy body 102 may be configured to include a resistor but not other control devices, as shown in FIG. 4, or may include other control devices (ICs, etc.). The secondary toy body 102 shown in FIG. 5 shows an example in which the secondary toy body 102 includes other control devices. In this case, the secondary toy body 102 includes a control unit 511, a speaker 512, and an LED group 513. The control unit 511 controls the speaker 512 and the LED group 513 in accordance with instructions from the control unit 501. The control unit 511 may not be provided, in which case the control unit 501 of the main toy body 101 controls the speaker 512 and the LED group 513 on its behalf. The secondary toy body 102 may be provided with a memory unit (not shown) to store performance output data for controlling the speaker 512 and the LED group 513. In this case, the control unit 511 reads performance output data from a storage unit provided in the sub-toy body 102 in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 501 , and controls the speaker 512 and the group of LEDs 513 .
[0033] <Performance output control> The processing procedure for performance output control according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The processing described below is realized, for example, by the control unit 501 reading and executing data and programs stored in the storage unit 502. The number following S indicates the step number in this flowchart.
[0034] In S101, the control unit 501 determines whether the secondary toy body 102 is connected (attached) to the main toy body 101. For example, the control unit 501 can detect the attachment of the secondary toy body 102 by detecting the current generated when the connection pins 411-413 of the connecting unit 301 are electrically connected to the connection terminals 421-423 of the secondary toy body 102. If the attachment of the secondary toy body 102 is detected, the process proceeds to S102; if not, the determination of S101 is repeated.
[0035] In S102, the control unit 501 measures the voltage at measurement points 431 and 432 using the voltmeters 407 and 408 of the IC 406. Then, in S103, the control unit 501 identifies the type of attached secondary toy object 102 from the measured voltage results. Specifically, the control unit 501 uses the measured voltage values at the two locations as a search key to search for the identification of the secondary toy object 102 associated with the pattern of measured voltage values stored in advance in the memory unit 502. Once the secondary toy object 102 has been identified, in S104 the control unit 501 obtains the performance output data registered and associated with the item in the searched table.
[0036] In S105, the control unit 501 determines whether it has detected operation of the operator 202, which will trigger a performance output. If a performance output trigger is detected, the process proceeds to S106; if not, the process proceeds to S107. Here, the trigger for a performance output will be described using operation of the operator 202 as an example, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Operation of another operator may also be used, or the attachment of the secondary toy body 102 to the main toy body 101 may be used as the trigger. In S106, the control unit 501 controls the LED group 506 and speaker 508 of the main toy body 101 in accordance with the performance output data acquired in S104, to produce a performance output including at least one of sound output and light output. Here, if the secondary toy body 102 includes at least one of a speaker 512 and an LED group 513, these may also be controlled to produce a performance output.
[0037] Next, in S107, the control unit 501 determines whether the secondary toy object 102 has been detached from the main toy object 101. Specifically, the control unit 501 determines that the secondary toy object 102 has been detached from the main toy object 101 when the current detected in S101 above can no longer be detected. If the secondary toy object 102 has been detached, the processing of this flowchart ends. On the other hand, if the secondary toy object 102 has not been detached, the processing returns to S105. If a new operation is performed thereafter, a performance output is performed according to that operation and the type of secondary toy object 102.
[0038] <Resistor list> Tables defining types of resistors and their combinations according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 7. Figure 7(a) shows a table defining types of resistors. Figure 7(b) shows a table defining measurement value patterns and performance output data corresponding to combinations of resistors.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 7(a), this embodiment uses multiple resistors with different resistance values, for example, 16 different resistors. Each resistor has a different resistance value. For example, if 16 different resistors are used and one resistor is provided in the secondary toy body 102, only 16 different measurement patterns can be identified. However, in this embodiment, two resistors are provided in the secondary toy body 102, so that 16 x 16 = 256 different measurement patterns can be identified according to the measurement points. This allows for a wider variety of performance output.
[0040] Table 710 is stored in the storage unit 502. Table 710 defines a combination 703 of two resistors provided in the sub-toy body 102, a measurement voltage pattern 704 of the two measured values, and identification information 705 of the performance output data, all linked to the types of resistors provided in the sub-toy body 102. Although only a portion of the data is shown in table 710, a maximum of 256 different data sets can be defined. Note that the resistance values of the two resistors provided in the sub-toy body 102 may be the same or different. Furthermore, one of the resistors may be set to 0 Ω. In this case, the corresponding resistor is omitted. Furthermore, a case in which a resistor with resistor ID 001 is used as the third resistor 403 and a resistor with resistor ID 002 is used as the fourth resistor 404 can be identified as a different pattern from a case in which a resistor with resistor ID 002 is used as the third resistor 403 and a resistor with resistor ID 001 is used as the fourth resistor 404. Although the measurement voltage pattern 704 is abbreviated here to "pattern 001," etc., in reality, voltage values at two measurement points are registered. Therefore, the control unit 501 can identify the sub-toy object 102 according to the voltage value pattern.
[0041] Identification unit 504 measures the voltages at two measurement points using voltmeters 407 and 408, and transmits the measured voltage pattern 704 to control unit 501. Control unit 501 references identification information 706 of the corresponding performance output data in accordance with the transmitted measured voltage pattern 704, and acquires the corresponding performance output data from storage unit 502 in accordance with the identification information 706.
[0042] <Composition of the secondary toy> An example of the configuration of the secondary toy object 102 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 8. Figure 8(a) shows the configuration of the secondary toy object with an IC, and Figure 8(b) shows the configuration of the secondary toy object without an IC.
[0043] As shown in Fig. 8(a), the sub-toy body 102 with IC includes a control unit 511 including an IC, a speaker 512, and an LED group 513. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 8(b), the sub-toy body 102 without IC does not have the control unit 511, and only the substrate including the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 is electrically connected to the connecting part 302.
[0044] When outputting a performance, if a secondary toy body 102 with an IC is attached, the control unit 501 not only controls the LED group 506 and speaker 508 of the main toy body, but also controls the LED group 513 and speaker 512 provided on the secondary toy body 102 via the control unit 511. On the other hand, if a secondary toy body 102 without an IC is attached, the control unit 501 only controls the LED group 506 and speaker 508 of the main toy body when outputting a performance. In this way, the control can be varied in a variety of ways depending on whether or not an IC is attached, allowing for a wider variety of performances to be produced.
[0045] As described above, the effect-outputting toy 100 of this embodiment includes a main toy body 101 and a secondary toy body 102 that has identification information and is connectable to the main toy body. The main toy body 101 includes a power supply and first and second resistors connected in parallel to the power supply. When a secondary toy body is connected, the main toy body 101 measures the voltage at a predetermined position in the circuit formed, identifies the secondary toy body according to the measured voltage, and outputs an effect in accordance with the identification. The secondary toy body 102 includes a third resistor that is connected in series with the first resistor when connected to the main toy body, and a fourth resistor that is connected in series with the second resistor when connected to the main toy body. This allows a greater variety of secondary toy bodies to be identified with a simple configuration. Thus, this embodiment provides a novel mechanism for realizing effects in an effect-outputting toy.
[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the shape of the performance output toy is not limited to a buckle attached to a belt, but may include other ornaments and various shapes.
[0047] <Summary of the embodiment> The above embodiment discloses at least the following performance output toy, main toy body, and sub-toy body.
