Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are essential for the invention. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Also, the same or similar configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0012] <Appearance Configuration of the Effect Output Toy> Referring to FIG. 1, an example of the external configuration of the effect output toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described. FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) show the front view of the appearance of the effect output toy 100. The arrows of x, y, and z indicate the upward, leftward, and forward directions in the model toy, respectively, and the same applies to other drawings.

[0013] FIG. 1(a) shows the front view of the appearance of the effect output toy 100 with the lid closed. The effect output toy 100 includes a main toy body 101, a sub-toy body 102, and a belt 103. The effect output toy 100 of this embodiment is configured as a buckle attached to the belt 103, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured as any other toy.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1(b), the main play body 101 is composed of a lid part 110 and a main body part 120. The lid part 110 can be opened and closed between the closed state shown in FIG. 1(a) and the open state shown in FIG. 1(b). A connection part for connecting the sub-play body 102 is provided in the main body part 120. The sub-play body 102 has identification information for identifying the type of the sub-play body, and can be detachably connected to the connection part provided in the main body part 120 by opening the lid part 110 of the main play body 101. The sub-play body 102 includes a plurality of types, and identification information is assigned to each type. As the identification information, unique identification information may be used, or variable identification information may be used. As will be described later, the identification information can be identified by a combination of two resistors. Therefore, the above-mentioned unique identification information means that the two resistors are unique in relation to the type of the sub-play body, and the combination of the resistors cannot be changed. On the other hand, the above-mentioned variable identification information is one in which a mechanism for switching the combination of two resistors is introduced, and can be switched to a plurality of combinations for use. Although the variable mechanism is not limited, for example, three or more resistors are provided in one sub-play body, and a mechanism such as a switch is provided so that the resistor connected to the main play body circuitously can be selected, and a mechanism that can selectively switch the combination of two resistors and connect them to the main play body can be applied. Alternatively, a mechanism may be provided in which two variable resistors whose resistance values can be dynamically changed are provided. By using such variable identification information, more diverse effects can be achieved with one sub-play body.

[0015] By connecting the sub-play body 102 to the main play body 101, the present performance output toy 100 can perform various performance outputs according to the type of the sub-play body 102. In the present embodiment, an example in which one connection part is provided will be described, but the present invention is not intended to be limited, and a configuration in which a plurality of connection parts are provided may be used. In this case, different types of sub-play bodies 102 may be connected to each connection part. Also, the performance output may be changed according to the combination of the types of the sub-play bodies 102 to be connected.

[0016] <Connection of Sub-Play Body> Referring to FIG. 2, the connection of the secondary play body according to the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 2(a) and (b) show perspective views of the main play body 101 and the secondary play body 102. For ease of explanation, the lid portion 110 of the main play body 101 is omitted in the illustration. That is, the main play body 101 is illustrated in a state where the secondary play body 102 can be connected in the same manner as when the lid portion 110 is in an open state.

[0017] FIG. 2(a) shows the state before connecting the secondary play body 102. The secondary play body 102 is connected to the connection portion 201 from above the main play body 101 in the direction of the arrow. Normally, since the connection portion 201 is covered by the lid portion 110, the secondary play body 102 cannot be connected, and it becomes possible to connect by opening the lid portion 110.

[0018] The connection portion 201 is a recess formed near the center of the main body portion 120, and connection pins such as pogo pins are exposed at the bottom near the center. By pushing in a convex portion provided at the bottom of the secondary play body 102 against the connection pin, the main play body 101 and the secondary play body 102 are electrically connected, and the electric circuits provided in the main play body 101 and the secondary play body are electrically connected. The detailed configuration of the connection portion will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

[0019] FIG. 2(b) shows a state where the secondary play body 102 is connected to the main play body 101. The main play body 101 is further provided with an operator 202. The operator 202 is an operator that serves as a trigger for performing an effect output. In the present embodiment, as an example, a push-type button is illustrated. Note that the operator of the present invention is not limited, and other operators such as a lever may be applied to the present invention. By operating the operator 202 in a state where the secondary play body 102 is connected to the main play body 101, an effect output can be performed. Also, each time the operator 202 is operated, the type of the effect output may be switched. Also, a plurality of operators may be provided, and different effects may be output by operating each operator. The effect output is performed by combining various outputs such as sound output by a speaker and light output by a light-emitting portion such as an LED.

[0020] <Configuration of the Connection Part> Referring to FIG. 3, the detailed configuration of the connection part 201 of the main play body 101 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3(a) shows a plan view of the main play body 101 with the lid 110 removed. FIG. 3(b) shows an enlarged view of the connection part 201. FIG. 3(c) shows a bottom view of the sub-play body 102.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3(a), the connection part 201 is formed near the center of the main play body 101. A connecting part 301 is provided near the center of the connection part 201. As shown in FIG. 3(b), connection pins such as pogo pins are provided on the connecting part 301, and in this embodiment, three connection pins are exposed. Also, as shown in FIG. 3(c), a convex connecting part 302 is formed at the bottom of the sub-play body 102. Note that the number of connection pins can be changed according to the configuration of the electric circuit formed together with the sub-play body.

[0022] When connecting the sub-play body 102 to the main play body 101, the connection pins provided on the connecting part 301 of the main play body 101 are pushed in by the connecting part 302 of the sub-play body 102. When the connection pins are pushed in, they are electrically connected to the electric circuit inside the main play body 101 and are also electrically connected to the electric circuit of the sub-play body 102 that contacts the connection pins. Therefore, the connecting part 302 of the sub-play body 102 is also formed to contain a conductive material. The circuit configurations of the main play body 101 and the sub-play body 102 will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.

[0023] <Circuit Configuration> Referring to FIG. 4, the electric circuit configuration of the effect output toy according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 shows the electric circuit configurations of the main play body 101 and the sub-play body 102.

[0024] The main toy body 101 includes, as a circuit configuration, a first resistor 401, a second resistor 402, a power supply 405, and voltmeters 407 and 408. 411, 412, and 413 indicate the connection pins of the connection part 301. The voltmeters 407 and 408 are included in the 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 position in the circuit. On the other hand, the sub-toy body 102 includes, as a circuit configuration, a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404. 421, 422, and 423 indicate the connection terminals of the connection part 302.

[0025] When the sub-toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, the corresponding connection pins 411 to 413 are electrically connected to the respective connection terminals 421 to 423. 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 sub-toy body 102 are connected, the first resistor 401 of the main toy body 101 and the third resistor of the sub-toy body 102 form a series portion that is connected in series to the power supply 405. Further, the second resistor 402 of the main toy body 101 and the fourth resistor of the sub-toy body 102 form a series portion that is connected in series to the power supply 405.

[0026] The IC 406 can detect that the sub-toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101 when a current flows through the connection pins 411 to 413. When detecting the connection of the sub-toy body 102, the IC 406 measures, by the voltmeter 407, the voltage at the measurement point 431 where the first resistor 401 and the third resistor 403 connected in series are voltage-divided. Further, the IC 406 measures, by the voltmeter 408, the voltage at the measurement point 432 where the first resistor 402 and the fourth resistor 404 connected in series are voltage-divided. The voltages at the measurement points 431 and 432 can be expressed by the following formula 1. Vx = (VxB) / (A + B) ··· (Formula 1) Here, Vx indicates the voltage at the measurement point. V indicates the voltage of the power supply 405. A indicates the resistance value of the first resistor 401 or the second resistor 402. B indicates the resistance value of the third resistor 403 or the fourth resistor 404.

[0027] For example, let V be 3V, resistor A be 1Ω, and resistor B be 1Ω. In this case, the voltage Vx at the measurement point is 1.5V. On the other hand, let V be 3V, resistor A be 1Ω, and resistor B be 2Ω. In this case, the voltage Vx at the measurement point is 2V. Thus, according to this embodiment, by changing the resistance values of the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 of the accessory body 102, the voltage value at the measurement point can be changed, and the type of the accessory body 102 connected according to the measured voltage can be identified. That is, according to this embodiment, different types of accessory bodies are represented according to the combination of the resistance values of the two resistors provided in the accessory body 102, and the production output pattern can be changed according to the type. Note that the resistance values of the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402 provided in the main body 101 are fixed.

[0028] Also, according to this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which two resistors are provided in each of the main body 101 and the accessory body 102. This is because the number of resistance values that the IC 406 can identify is limited, and if only one resistor is used, the type of the accessory body 102 will depend on that number. Therefore, by using two resistors, the number of distinguishable types of the accessory body 102 can be further increased according to the combination pattern of their resistance values. Therefore, in this embodiment, an example including two types of resistors is shown, but it is desirable to change the number of resistors provided according to the number of types of accessory bodies to be identified. Of course, a configuration using only one resistor may also be adopted.

[0029] <Control Configuration> With reference to FIG. 5, a control configuration for controlling the production output of the main body 101 and the accessory body 102 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, a configuration with an IC is shown as the control configuration of the accessory body 102. Note that in the present invention, a configuration without an IC may also be included as the configuration of the accessory body 102. The accessory body 102 without an IC does not have the control configuration described below, and only a substrate including the third resistor 403 and the fourth resistor 404 is provided.

[0030] The main toy body 101 includes, as a control configuration, a control unit 501, a memory unit 502, a power supply unit 503, an identification unit 504, an LED group 506, a switch group 507, and a speaker 508. The control unit 501 is a control unit that performs effect output control and is configured to include an IC 406. The memory unit 502 stores, in association with each other, effect output data and identification information of the sub-toy body. The identification unit 504 measures the voltages at predetermined measurement points 431 and 432 by voltage meters 407 and 408 when the sub-toy body 102 is connected to the main toy body 101, and identifies the type of the sub-toy body 102 according to the measurement results. When performing effect output, the control unit 501 reads out and uses the effect output data corresponding to the identified sub-toy body from the memory unit 502. Note that the control unit 501, the memory unit 502, and the identification unit 504 may be included on the same substrate as the IC 406, or may be included on other substrates.

[0031] The power supply unit 503 supplies power from a power source 405 such as a battery connected to the main toy body 101 to each unit. The switch group 507 is an operator that serves as a trigger for effect output and includes buttons, levers, switches, etc. such as the operator 202. The LED group 506 is a light-emitting device used for effect output that includes one or more LED elements. The speaker 508 is a sound output device used for effect output. When the control unit 501 detects the operation of any operator included in the switch group 507, the control unit 501 performs effect output using at least one of the devices of the LED group 506 and the speaker 508.

[0032] On the other hand, the sub-toy body 102 may be configured to include resistance but not include a device as another control configuration, or may be configured to include a device (such as an IC) as another control configuration. The sub-toy body 102 shown in FIG. 5 shows an example including a device as another control configuration. In this case, the sub-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 according to an instruction from the control unit 501. The control unit 511 may not be provided, and in that case, the control unit 501 of the main toy body 101 controls the speaker 512 and the LED group 513 on behalf. Note that the sub-toy body 102 may be provided with a storage unit (not shown) and store effect output data for controlling the speaker 512 and the LED group 513. In this case, the control unit 511 reads the effect output data from the storage unit provided in the sub-toy body 102 according to an instruction from the control unit 501 and controls the speaker 512 and the LED group 513.

[0033] <Effect Output Control> With reference to FIG. 6, the processing procedure of the effect output control according to the present embodiment will be described. 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 numbers following S indicate the step numbers of this flowchart.

[0034] In S101, the control unit 501 determines whether the sub-toy body 102 is connected (mounted) to the main toy body 101. For example, the control unit 501 can detect the mounting of the sub-toy body 102 by detecting the current generated when the connection pins 411 to 413 of the connection part 301 are electrically connected to the connection terminals 421 to 423 of the sub-toy body 102. When the mounting of the sub-toy body 102 is detected, the process proceeds to S102, and if not, the determination in S101 is repeated.

[0035] In S102, the control unit 501 measures the voltages at measurement points 431 and 432 using the voltmeters 407 and 408 of the IC 406. Subsequently, in S103, the control unit 501 identifies the type of the attached accessory body 102 from the measurement voltage results. Specifically, the control unit 501 searches for the identification of the accessory body 102 associated with the pattern of the measured voltage values pre-stored in the storage unit 502 using the two measured voltage values as search keys. When the accessory body 102 is identified, in S104, the control unit 501 acquires the effect output data registered in association with the items of the searched table.

[0036] In S105, the control unit 501 determines whether an operation of the operator 202 that triggers the effect output is detected. If the trigger for the effect output is detected, the process proceeds to S106; otherwise, it proceeds to S107. Here, the operation of the operator 202 is taken as an example to explain the trigger for the effect output, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. Operations on other operators may also be used, or the attachment of the accessory body 102 to the main play body 101 may be used as a trigger. In S106, the control unit 501 controls the LED group 506 and the speaker 508 of the main play body 101 according to the effect output data acquired in S104 to perform an effect output including at least one of sound output and light output. Here, when at least one of the speaker 512 and the LED group 513 is included in the accessory body 102, they may also be controlled to perform the effect output.

[0037] Subsequently, in S107, the control unit 501 determines whether the accessory body 102 has been removed from the main play body 101. Specifically, the control unit 501 determines that the accessory body 102 has been removed from the main play body 101 when the current detected in S101 cannot be detected. If it has been removed, the processing of this flowchart is terminated. On the other hand, if it has not been removed, the process returns to S105. Thereafter, when a new operation is performed, an effect output corresponding to the operation and the type of the accessory body 102 is performed.

[0038] <Resistance List> Referring to FIG. 7, a table defining the types of resistors and their combinations according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 7(a) shows a table defining the types of resistors. FIG. 7(b) shows a table defining measurement value patterns and production output data according to resistor combinations.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 7(a), according to the present embodiment, a plurality of resistors having different resistance values, for example, 16 types of resistors, are used. Each resistor has a different resistance value. For example, when using 16 types of resistors, if one resistor is provided in the accessory body 102, only 16 types of measurement patterns can be identified. However, in the present embodiment, since two resistors are provided in the accessory body 102, 256 types of measurement patterns corresponding to measurement points can be identified. Thereby, more diverse production outputs can be performed.

[0040] The table 710 is stored in the storage unit 502. The table 710 defines the combination 703, the measurement voltage pattern 704 of two measurement values, and the identification information 705 of the production output data, in association with the types of two resistors provided in the accessory body 102. Although only some data is shown in the table 710 for omission, up to 256 pieces of data can be defined. Note that for the two resistors provided in the accessory body 102, the resistance values may be the same or different. Also, one of the resistance values may be set to 0Ω. In this case, the corresponding resistor will be omitted. Also, the case where the resistor with resistance ID001 is used for the third resistor 403 and the resistor with resistance ID002 is used for the fourth resistor 404, and the case where the resistor with resistance ID002 is used for the third resistor 403 and the resistor with resistance ID001 is used for the fourth resistor 404 can be identified as different patterns. The measurement voltage pattern 704 is described here as "pattern 001" etc. for omission, but actually, the voltage values of two measurement points are registered. Therefore, the control unit 501 can identify the accessory body 102 according to the pattern of the voltage values.

[0041] The identification unit 504 measures the voltages at two measurement points using the voltmeters 407 and 408, and transmits the measured voltage pattern 704 to the control unit 501. The control unit 501 refers to the identification information 706 of the corresponding effect output data according to the transmitted measured voltage pattern 704, and acquires the corresponding effect output data from the storage unit 502 according to the identification information 706.

[0042] <Configuration of the sub-toy body> With reference to FIG. 8, a configuration example of the sub-toy body 102 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8(a) shows the configuration of the sub-toy body with an IC. FIG. 8(b) shows the configuration of the sub-toy body without an IC.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 8(a), the sub-toy body 102 with an 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 an IC has only a substrate including a third resistor 403 and a fourth resistor 404 electrically connected to the connection portion 302 without having the control unit 511.

[0044] When performing an effect output, when the sub-toy body 102 with an IC is attached, the control unit 501, in addition to controlling the LED group 506 and the speaker 508 of the main toy body, further controls the LED group 513 and the speaker 512 provided in the sub-toy body 102 via the control unit 511. On the other hand, when the sub-toy body 102 without an IC is attached, the control unit 501 only controls the LED group 506 and the speaker 508 of the main toy body when performing an effect output. In this way, the control can be varied diversely according to the presence or absence of the IC, and more effects can be performed.

[0045] As described above, the effect output toy 100 of the present embodiment includes a main toy body 101 and a sub-toy body 102 having identification information and connectable to the main toy body.
