Abstract

To provide an appropriate control method for an LED used in a waist panel, etc., for example, in a game machine.SOLUTION: A game machine includes: light emitting means; control means capable of controlling an operation of the light emitting means; and driving means for driving the light emitting means by a control signal output from the control means. The control means includes elapsed time counting means for counting an elapsed time and generating an interruption signal when a set time has elapsed, and light emission control means for generating a control signal with the generation of the interruption signal from the elapsed time counting means as a trigger, and driving and controlling the light emitting means by the control signal. A generation cycle of the interruption signal is constant.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 125

Claims

[Claim 1] A light emitting means; A control means capable of controlling the operation of the light emitting means; a driving means for driving the light emitting means in response to a control signal output from the control means; The control means an elapsed time counting means for counting an elapsed time and generating an interrupt signal when a set time has elapsed; a light emission control means for generating the control signal in response to generation of the interrupt signal from the elapsed time counting means and for controlling the light emission means by the control signal; The generation period of the interrupt signal is constant, The control means further comprises: an output port to which the control signal output to the driving means is set; a brightness control table storing a plurality of brightness values ​​that can be set for the light-emitting means and a control value that is associated with each brightness value and is used by the light-emission control means to determine whether to turn on or off the light-emitting means; the light emission control means sets, in the output port, the control signal for turning on or off the light emission means based on the control value corresponding to a predetermined luminance value designated in drive control of the light emission means each time the interrupt signal is generated from the elapsed time counting means; The control value is a value obtained by multiplying a specific value, which is the least common multiple of each of the integer values ​​ranging from 1 to a predetermined integer value of 2 or more, by the predetermined brightness value.
