Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present invention relates to an effect output toy. 【Background Art】 【0002】 There are known effect output toys that output effects by light or sound. For example, in Patent Document 1, it is proposed to change the blinking pattern of a light emitting element according to the identification information of a sub-toy in a light emitting toy to which the sub-toy holding the identification information is detachable. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-154721 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 In effect output toys, a mechanism for performing various effects is desired. In the above prior art, an effect is performed in which light emitted from a plurality of light emitting elements by a rotatable movable part is visually recognized as an arc-shaped band extending in the rotation direction due to the afterimage effect. In such a light emitting toy, while it is possible to perform various effects by increasing the number of light emitting parts, there is a problem that the cost increases. Therefore, it would be useful if light emitted from one light emitting element could be refracted in various directions to cause a plurality of members to emit light. Thereby, it is possible to realize various effects at low cost. 【0005】 An object of the present invention is to provide, for example, a novel mechanism for light emission in an effect output toy. 【Means for Solving the Problems】 【0006】 The present invention relates to, for example, a performance output toy comprising a main toy body and a secondary toy body that is detachable from the main toy body, wherein the main toy body comprises a mounting part for attaching the secondary toy body, a light-emitting part, a reflecting part that reflects a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting part and emits it to the outside, and a light-guiding part that guides a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting part to the secondary toy body. [Effects of the Invention] 【0007】 According to the present invention, for example, a novel mechanism for light emission in a toy with a special effect output can be provided.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0009】 The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the invention as defined in the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Furthermore, identical or similar configurations will be given the same reference numeral, and redundant descriptions will be omitted. 【0010】 <External structure of the output-type toy> Referring to Figures 1A and 1B, an example of the external configuration of the performance output toy according to this embodiment will be described. Figures 1A and 1B show the front view of the performance output toy in different transformed states. The x, y, and z arrows indicate the upward, left, and forward directions in the model toy, respectively. 【0011】 Figure 1A shows the front view of the first form 10 of the performance output toy. The performance output toy is in a transformed state of the first form 10, which mimics the shape of a hand, and is composed of a main toy body 100 and a sub-toy body 101. The main toy body 100 is composed of finger parts 102a to 102e, decorative parts 103a and 103b, a light control member 104, a light-emitting part 105, and a transformation state switch 106. The finger parts 102a to 102e correspond to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, respectively. The finger parts 102a to 102e are each configured to be rotatable in order to transform into the second form 20 of the performance output toy. In addition, the decorative parts 103a and 103b are formed to resemble a sword and are configured to be rotatable in order to transform into the second form 20. Details of the transformation configuration will be described later. The light control member 104 is a member that controls the light emitted from the light-emitting part 105 in various directions. Its detailed configuration will be described later. The deformation state switch 106 is a switch element and is pressed by the finger part 102, etc., in the first form 10 of the performance output toy. The performance output toy can detect whether the form of the main toy body 100 is the first form 10 of the hand form or the second form 20 of the humanoid form, based on the state of the deformation state switch 106. 【0012】 The auxiliary toy body 101 is a ring that can be attached to and detached from the attachment part of the main toy body 100, which is the first embodiment 10. In the first embodiment 10, it mimics a ring attached to the finger part 102c. The detailed configuration of the auxiliary toy body will be described later. There are multiple types of auxiliary toy bodies 101, and the performance output toy switches and outputs a performance output pattern according to the type of auxiliary toy body attached and the form of the main toy body 100. Here, in the performance output toy according to this embodiment, performance output includes light output and sound output. However, there is no intention to limit the present invention, and performance output may also include vibration. 【0013】 Figure 1B shows the front view of the second form 20 of the performance output toy. The second form 20 of the performance output toy is a transformed humanoid form, and each part is the same as that of the first form 10 of the performance output toy. In the second form 20, the fingers 102a of the main toy body 100 transform into the right arm. The fingers 102b transform into the right leg. The fingers 102c rotate to the back. The fingers 102d transform into the left leg. The fingers 102e transform into the left arm. In addition, the 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 member 104 forms the humanoid chest. 【0014】 As shown in Figure 1B, even when the toy transforms 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 unit 105, and the transformation state switch 106 do not change. In this embodiment, the auxiliary toy body 101 is attached to the same mounting part in both the first form 10 and the second form 20 and constitutes part of the appearance of the performance output toy, but the visual significance of the auxiliary toy body 101 in the performance output toy differs between the first form 10 and the second form 20 (in the first form 10, it constitutes a "ring worn on the finger," and in the second form 20, it constitutes a "human-shaped head"). It should be noted that there is no intention to limit the present invention, and the positions of the above-mentioned parts may change between the first form 10 and the second form 20. In that case, it is necessary to consider the position of each part so as not to block the light output from the light-emitting unit 105. 【0015】 The sub-toy body 101 is a ring-shaped member that can be attached to and detached from a mounting portion (not shown) of the main toy body 100. In the first form 10, it corresponds to a ring that fits on the hand, and in the second form 20, it corresponds to the head of a humanoid. In the production output toy of this embodiment, production output is performed by attaching (also referred to as "connecting") the sub-toy body 101 to the main toy body 100. Further, by operating an operator (not shown), production output is performed using the light output by the light emitting portion 105 and the sound output by a speaker (not shown) according to the deformed state of the main toy body 100 and the type of the sub-toy body 101. 【0016】 The sub-toy body 101 can be attached to the main toy body 100 by fitting it into a mounting portion provided on the main toy body 100. Also, a plurality of types of sub-toy bodies 101 are provided, and an identifier for identifying the type is provided. This production output toy can change the production output according to the type of the sub-toy body 101 connected to the main toy body 100. Therefore, although it is necessary for the production output toy to identify the type (identifier) of the sub-toy body 101, a detection unit with any mechanism can be applied. 【0017】 For example, a plurality of switches formed in a convex shape may be provided in the mounting portion of the main toy body 100, and the type of the sub-toy body 101 may be identified according to the location where the convex portion is pressed when the sub-toy body 101 is attached. Alternatively, a sensor may be provided in the main toy body 100, and the type of the sub-toy body 101 may be identified by reading an identifier (such as a two-dimensional code or an RFID tag) provided on the sub-toy body 101. Alternatively, a control board may be provided in the sub-toy body 101, electrically connected to a control unit 600 provided inside the main toy body 100, and the type of the sub-toy body 101 may be identified by reading information from the control board of the sub-toy body 101. The identification configuration of the sub-toy body in this embodiment will be described later. 【0018】 In the present embodiment, the effect output toy may perform sound output in accordance with the light output as the effect output. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it may further perform effect output by vibration. The effect output toy further includes a control unit 600 provided therein for controlling the above-described effect output. The control unit 600 refers to a table storing effect output data according to the type of the sub-toy body 101 when the sub-toy body 101 is connected to the main toy body 100 or when an operator is operated, and controls the effect output. 【0019】 <Modified Configuration> Referring to FIG. 2, the modified configuration of the main toy body 100 in the effect output toy according to the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 2(a) to (d) respectively show the front appearance of the effect output toy. 【0020】 FIG. 2(a) shows the first form 10 of the effect output toy. When changing from the first form 10 to the second form 20, first, as shown by the shaded display, the finger portions 102b and 102d are tilted forward (linear arrow) of the effect output toy and rotated 180 degrees as shown by the curved arrow. At this time, the deformation state switch 106 transitions from the pressed state to the released state. The deformation state switch 106 is pressed by the finger portion 102d in the first form 10 and is in the pressed state. The control unit 600 can recognize that the deformation state of the main toy body 100 is the first form 10 because the deformation state switch 106 is in the pressed state. Therefore, when the deformation state switch 106 becomes the released state, the control unit 600 determines that the main toy body 100 has transitioned (or is in the process of transitioning) to the second form 20. In addition, with the deformation state switch 106 becoming the released state, an effect start effect may be output by voice or the like. 【0021】 Figure 2(b) shows the state in which the finger parts 102b and 102d have been rotated. In this state, the transformation to the second form 20 is not yet complete, but the control unit 600 has determined that the transformed state is the second form 20. In the state shown in Figure 2(b), the finger parts 102b and 102d constitute the right leg and left leg of the second form 20, respectively. Next, as shown by the shading in Figure 2(b), the finger parts 102a and 102e are rotated forward towards the toy. 【0022】 Figure 2(c) shows the finger parts 102a and 102e rotated. In the state shown in Figure 2(c), the finger parts 102a and 102e constitute the right arm and left arm of the second form 20, respectively. Furthermore, as shown by the shading in Figure 2(c), the decorative parts 103a and 103b are rotated in the direction of the arrows, and then the finger part 102c is rotated to the back side of the performance output toy. Figure 2(d) shows the state after the decorative parts 103a and 103b and the finger part 102c have been rotated. Figure 2(d) shows the state after the transformation of the performance output toy into the second form 20 is complete. 【0023】 <Configuration of the light control member 104> Referring to Figure 3, the configuration of the light control member 104 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 3(a) shows the front surface of the light control member 104, Figure 3(b) shows the back surface, and Figure 3(c) shows the side surface. 【0024】 The light control member 104 is a disc-shaped member and is composed of a light guide portion 301 and a reflector portion 303. 302 indicates the surface of the light control member 104 and is made of a transparent material. The light guide portion 301 is a cylindrical portion formed from the lower center to the upper center of the light control member 104. In both the first form 10 and the second form 20 of the performance output toy, a light-emitting portion 105 is provided below 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 passes through the light guide portion 301 and exits to the top. The light that exits to the top enters the auxiliary toy body 101, causing the auxiliary toy body 101 to emit light. In addition, since the light guide portion 301 is made of a transparent material, light also passes through from the cylindrical side and irradiates the surroundings with light. Some of this light also enters the interior of the light control member 104. In this embodiment, the light guide 301 is described as being formed in a cylindrical shape, but there is no intention to limit the present invention, and any shape is acceptable as long as it connects the light-emitting part and the auxiliary toy body. In addition, the light path between the light-emitting part and the auxiliary toy body may be partially refracted to form a non-straight light path. 【0025】 The reflective portion 303 is formed on the back surface of the light control member 104. The reflective portion 303 is formed on the back side of the light control member 104 with a plurality of uneven shapes. As a result, the inner back wall of the light control member 104 is also formed with a plurality of uneven shapes. Light leaked from the light guide portion 301 is irradiated onto the reflective portion 303, and the irradiated light is reflected in various directions by the wall surface. Because the surface 302 of the light control member 104 is formed of a transparent material, these reflected lights pass through the surface 302 and are emitted forward to the light-emitting toy. In other words, in this embodiment, the direction of light reflection by the reflective portion 303 is defined to be different from the direction of light guidance by the light guide portion 301. As the reflected light passes through the surface 302, the light control member 104 itself appears to emit light. As shown in Figure 3(c), the surface 302 of the light control member 104 is formed flat to transmit light, while the back side is formed with a plurality of uneven shapes to reflect light. 【0026】 Thus, in this embodiment, the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 105 is guided by the light guide unit 301 upward (y-direction in the figure) to the performance output toy, causing the sub-toy body 101 to emit light, and is also reflected by the reflector unit 303 forward (z-direction in the figure) to the performance output toy, causing the light control member 104 to emit light. Therefore, according to this embodiment, one light-emitting unit can output light in various directions and cause multiple members to emit light (in other words, cause multiple locations on the performance output toy that are at different positions to emit light). 【0027】 Furthermore, in the reflective section 303, multiple circular optical paths are formed around the light guide section 301. This allows light passing through the light guide section 301 to be dispersed along the circular optical paths, guiding the light to the entire light control member 104. Since these circular optical paths are also made of a transparent material, some of the light is transmitted and irradiated onto the multiple uneven surfaces of the reflective section 303. 【0028】 <Optical output> The light output of this toy will be explained with reference to Figure 4. Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the secondary toy body 101, the light control member 104, and the light-emitting unit 105. 【0029】 As shown by the arrows in Figure 4, the light control member 104 can guide and reflect the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 105 in various directions. The light guided by the light guide unit 301 passes through the light guide unit 301 and reaches the auxiliary toy body 101. The reflected light reflected in various directions by the reflecting unit 303 passes through the surface 302 of the light control member 104 and is emitted in front of the performance output toy. Note that in Figure 4, the reflected light from the reflecting unit 303 is shown by arrows, but this is a schematic representation and does not show all of the reflected light, and reflection also occurs in directions other than those indicated by the arrows. 【0030】 <Identification of auxiliary toy parts> Referring to Figure 5, the identification of the auxiliary toy body in this performance output toy will be explained. Figure 5(a) shows the front view of the first form 10 of the performance output toy. Figure 5(b) shows an enlarged view of the attachment part 500 of the main toy body 100 with the auxiliary toy body 101 removed. Figure 5(c) shows a rear perspective view of the auxiliary toy body 101. 【0031】 The main toy body 100 has a mounting portion 500 on the upper part of the light control member 104 for attaching the sub-toy body 101. As shown in Figure 5(b), the mounting portion 500 is composed of detection pins 501a to 501f, a hanging portion 502, and openings 503a and 503b. Also, as shown in Figure 5(c), the sub-toy body 101 is composed of gripping portions 511a and 511b and projections 512a to 512c. 【0032】 The detection pins 501a to 501f are pressable pins used to identify the type of auxiliary toy body 101. Detection pins 501a to 501c are located on the upper side of the hanging portion 502. On the other hand, detection pins 501d to 501f are located on the lower side of the hanging portion 502. These detection pins 501a to 501f are pressed by projections formed on the back surface of the auxiliary toy body 101. When each detection pin 501a to 501f is pressed by a projection, it outputs a signal to the control unit 600, which will be described later. The control unit 600 can identify the type of auxiliary toy body 101 by the pattern of the detection pins that output signals from among the detection pins 501a to 501f. In the example in Figure 5, detection pin 501a is pressed by projection 512a, detection pin 501c is pressed by projection 512b, and detection pin 501e is pressed by projection 512c. The position where the protrusions 512 are formed on the auxiliary toy body 101 differs depending on its type. 【0033】 A ring-shaped auxiliary toy body 101 is attached to the hanging portion 502 of the mounting portion 500. More specifically, the gripping portion 511a of the auxiliary toy body 101 is inserted into the opening 503b of the mounting portion 500, and the gripping portion 511b is inserted into the opening 503a, so that the auxiliary toy body 101 is attached to the mounting portion 500 so that the hanging portion 502 is clamped between the gripping portions 511a and 511b. In this state, each projection 512 presses down the detection pin 501 at the corresponding position. As described above, the identification configuration of the auxiliary toy body is not limited to the form of this embodiment and any configuration can be applied. 【0034】 <Control Unit Configuration> Referring to Figure 6, an example of the configuration of the control unit according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the control unit 600. 【0035】 The control unit (control unit) 600 comprises a CPU 601, a memory unit 602, a power supply unit 603, an LED 604, a first detection unit 605, a second detection unit 606, a switch group 607, and a speaker 608. The CPU 601 is a central processing unit that controls the entire control unit 600. The CPU 601 executes the processes described later by reading and executing the program stored in the memory unit 602. In addition to the above program, the memory unit 602 also stores various data and tables. 【0036】 The power supply unit 603 controls the supply of power to the control unit 600 in accordance with the switching of a power switch (not shown). The power supply is composed of, for example, a battery, which may be a rechargeable battery. Alternatively, a USB connection terminal (not shown) may be provided, allowing the rechargeable battery to be charged via USB connection. 【0037】 The first detection unit 605 detects that the auxiliary toy body 101 has been connected to the attachment portion of the main toy body 100. As described above, the first detection unit 605 may have any detection mechanism depending on the configuration of the auxiliary toy body 101. The first detection unit 605 also identifies the type of the connected auxiliary toy body 101. For example, as described above, the first detection unit 605 may identify the type of the auxiliary toy body 101 according to the location of the multiple convex detection pins provided on the attachment portion of the main toy body 100 that was pressed when the auxiliary toy body 101 was attached. Alternatively, the detection unit 605 may identify the type of the auxiliary toy body 101 according to identification information read by a sensor that contains an identifier (such as a two-dimensional code) of the connected auxiliary toy body 101, or identification information obtained through data communication with the connected auxiliary toy body 101. 【0038】 The second detection unit 606 detects the transformed state of the main toy body 100, determining whether it is in the first form 10 or the second form 20. The second detection unit 606 detects the transformed state according to the output from the transformed state switch 106. When the transformed state switch 106 is pressed, a signal is output, and the second detection unit 606 identifies the transformed state as the first form 10. On the other hand, when the transformed state switch 106 is released, no signal is output, and the second detection unit 606 identifies the transformed state as the second form 20. 【0039】 LED 604 is a light-emitting device corresponding to the light-emitting unit 105, and its illumination is controlled by the CPU 601. LED 604 is a color LED and can emit light in multiple colors, and the color emitted can be switched according to the effect pattern. Speaker 608 is a device that outputs sound as an effect output. Speaker 608 is installed inside the main toy body 100. In addition to LED 604 and speaker 608, a vibration device such as a vibration device may be provided as an effect output device. The switch group 607 consists of various switches provided on the main toy body 100, and includes, for example, a power switch, an operator, and a transformation state switch 106. By operating the operator, effect outputs such as light output and sound output are produced. 【0040】 <Effect Output Table> Referring to Figure 7, the performance output table stored in the memory unit 602 of the control unit 600 of the main toy body 100 according to this embodiment will be described. 【0041】 Table 700 defines information regarding multiple effect output patterns. 701 indicates the identification number of the effect defined in each table. This identification number is information associated with the type of sub-toy body 101. 702 defines the effect output pattern when the main toy body 100 is in its first form, the hand state. 703 defines the effect output pattern when the main toy body 100 is in its second form, the humanoid state. 【0042】 Each of the performance output patterns 702 and 703 has a management number for the light output pattern that produces light output and a management number for the sound output pattern that produces sound output, defined for each identification number of the sub-toy body 101. The memory unit 602 stores the light output data and sound output data corresponding to these management numbers. The CPU 601 reads each data and drives the LED 604 and speaker 608. These management numbers correspond to the file names. 【0043】 For example, in the hand state 702 with identification number "001" in table 700, the light output management number is "L001" and the sound output management number is "M001". In the humanoid state 703, the light output management number is "L101" and the sound output management number is "M101". Therefore, when the CPU 601 performs a performance output in humanoid form with the sub-toy body 101 with identification number 001 attached, it reads the files "L101" and "M101" from the memory unit 602 and outputs light and sound via the LED 604 and speaker 608 according to the respective files. Depending on the type of sub-toy body 101, the light output and sound output may be controlled using multiple data (files). 【0044】 <Production output control> Referring to Figure 8, the processing procedure for the performance output control according to this embodiment will be described. The processing described below is achieved, for example, by the CPU 601 reading and executing data or programs stored in the memory unit 602. The number following S indicates the step number in this flowchart. 【0045】 In S101, the CPU 601 determines whether the power switch of the performance output toy has been turned on and the toy has been activated. If the toy is activated, the process proceeds to S102. In S102, the CPU 601 has the second detection unit 606 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 is 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 a predetermined value, it determines that the transformation state switch 106 is not pressed and determines that the transformation state of the main toy body 100 is in the second state 20. 【0046】 Next, in S103, the CPU 601 begins detecting whether the auxiliary toy body 101 is attached to the mounting unit 500. Specifically, the CPU 601 monitors the output signals from each detection pin 501a to 501f of the mounting unit 500, and if it detects a signal from at least one detection pin 501, it determines that the auxiliary toy body 101 is attached to the mounting unit 500. Furthermore, the CPU 601 identifies the type of auxiliary toy body 101 depending on which of the detection pins 501a to 501f the signal was detected from. The CPU 601 can also identify the type of attached auxiliary toy body 101 by referring to a table pre-stored in the memory unit 602 that defines the types of auxiliary toy bodies 101 and their corresponding signal patterns. 【0047】 In S104, the CPU 601 outputs a visual effect during startup, for example, sound output via the speaker 608. Alternatively or additionally, light output may be provided via the LED 604. Note that the visual effects during startup and other times are stored in the memory unit 602 separately from the table 700 mentioned above. 【0048】 Next, in S105, the CPU 601 determines whether an unshown operator has been operated. If it has been operated, the process proceeds to S107; otherwise, it proceeds to S106. In S106, the CPU 601 determines whether there has been a change in the deformation state of the main toy body 100 or the attachment state of the sub-toy body 101. If there has been a change in either state, the process proceeds to S107; otherwise, the process proceeds to S108. 【0049】 In S107, the CPU 601 outputs visual effects via the LED 604 and speaker 608 according to the various current states. Here, the various states refer to whether or not the operator has been operated, the transformation state of the main toy body 100, the attachment state of the sub-toy body 101 and, if attached, its type, and state change information. The CPU 601 outputs visual effects based on this information. If the operator is operated while the sub-toy body 101 is attached, the visual effects output is controlled using the table 700 described above. 【0050】 In S108, CPU601 determines whether the power switch has been turned off.
