DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] 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.
[0011] <External configuration of the performance output toy> An example of the external configuration of the effect output toy according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1(a) shows the external front view of the effect output toy 100, and Fig. 1(b) shows the external side view. Note that the x, y, and z arrows indicate the upward, left, and forward directions of the effect output toy, respectively.
[0012] The effect-output toy according to this embodiment includes a main toy body 101 and a secondary toy body 102. The effect-output toy 100 is a toy that imitates a weapon. The main toy body 101 is a main body having a grip portion and a blade portion of the weapon, and includes a mounting portion, a detection portion, a control portion, a light-emitting portion, a sound output portion, and operators 111 and 112. A detailed configuration will be described later. The mounting portion is a portion to which the secondary toy body 102 (operation member) is mounted, and is formed in a concave shape to match the shape of the secondary toy body 102. The detection portion detects the secondary toy body 102 mounted on the mounting portion and detects operations on the secondary toy body 102. The detection portion also includes a two-stage switch. The control portion controls the light-emitting portion and sound output portion to control the effect output according to the detection result detected by the detection portion. The light-emitting portion is a light-emitting device that emits light such as an LED. The sound output portion is a speaker that outputs sound. The operator 111 is a switch that triggers the control portion to perform effect output when operated. The operator 112 is an example of a release operator, and is a button for unlocking the secondary toy body 102 attached to the main toy body 101.
[0013] The secondary toy body 102 is an example of an operating member, and is formed in a spherical shape. It is attached to a mounting portion formed on the upper part of the grip portion of the main toy body 101. The secondary toy body 102 can receive one or more operation inputs when attached to the main toy body 101. One operation input is to rotate a part of the secondary toy body 102 in the direction shown by the arrow in the figure. In addition, by pressing a specified operating element, a two-stage switch provided on the main toy body 101 can be operated. A detailed configuration will be described later.
[0014] <Installation configuration> The mounting structure of the main toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102 in the performance output toy according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing how the secondary toy body 102 is mounted on the main toy body 101.
[0015] The main toy body 101 has a mounting portion 200 for receiving the spherical secondary toy body 102. The mounting portion 200 has a hemispherical recess that can receive part of the secondary toy body 102. The inner wall of the mounting portion 200 is provided with multiple detection units (including switches, etc.). The secondary toy body 102 is mounted to the mounting portion 200 in the direction of the arrow. The secondary toy body 102 is provided with a rotating unit 220, shown by the dotted line area in the figure. The rotating unit 220 can be rotated while mounted to the mounting portion 200. The mounting portion 200 is provided with a rotation detection unit that detects the rotation of the rotating unit 220. Details will be described later.
[0016] <Detailed configuration of the main toy body and secondary toy body> The detailed configuration of the mounting part 200 of the main toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 3. Figure 3(a) shows a perspective view of the mounting part 200 of the main toy body 101, and Figures 3(b) and (c) show perspective views of the secondary toy body 102.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 3(a), the mounting section 200 is composed of a recess 201, a rotation detection section 202, a protrusion 203, and a two-stage switch 204. The rotation detection section 202, the protrusion 203, and the two-stage switch 204 are provided on the inner wall of the mounting section 200 (recess 201). The recess 201 is formed in a hemispherical shape because the spherical secondary toy body 102 is mounted therein. The rotation detection section 202 is a disc-shaped detection section, and when the disc portion is pressed, it is forced into the recess 201, becomes conductive, and can detect the rotation operation of the secondary toy body 102. The disc portion is formed to a thickness that fits into a groove 221 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the secondary toy body 102 shown in FIG. 3(b).
[0018] The protrusion 203 is spring-loaded and is pushed into the recess 201 by the secondary toy body 102 when the secondary toy body 102 is attached, but once the secondary toy body 102 is attached, it fits into a recess 211 provided on the outer surface of the secondary toy body 102 as shown in Figure 3(c), thereby having the function of maintaining (locking) the attached state of the secondary toy body 102. This locked state can be released by operating the operator 112 provided on the main toy body 101 as shown in Figure 1(b), allowing the attached secondary toy body 102 to be removed from the main toy body 101.
[0019] The two-stage switch 204 is a switch that operates in two stages depending on the degree to which it is pressed. Details of the configuration will be described later using Figures 5A and 5B, but it has two operating parts, one above the other, and realizes two-stage operation by pressing and operating each operating part depending on the degree to which it is pressed. Note that the secondary toy body 102 may directly press and operate the operating parts, or a push button may be provided on the main toy body 101, and the secondary toy body 102 may press the push button to activate the operating parts. The push button is not shown in Figure 3(a).
[0020] As shown in Figures 3(b) and (c), the secondary toy body 102 is composed of pressing portions 210a and 210b, a rotary operating portion 220, a groove portion 221, a protrusion portion 222, and a recess portion 211. The pressing portions 210a and 210b are portions that press the operating portion of the two-stage switch 204 or the push button provided on the main toy body 101. Although two pressing portions 210a and 210b are provided, the portion that presses the two-stage switch 204 is pressing portion 210a. The two-stage switch 204 also has the function of maintaining the attached state of the secondary toy body 102. To ensure that the secondary toy body 102 is stably attached, a holding portion 205 having a similar holding function is provided opposite the two-stage switch 204, and pressing portion 210b is provided to press this portion. Details of the holding portion 205 will be described later using Figure 4.
[0021] The rotation operation unit 220 is an operation unit that can rotate in the direction of the arrow in the figure when the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the attachment part 200 of the main toy body 101. A groove 221 is formed on the side of the rotation operation unit 220 on the outer circumferential surface of the secondary toy body 102, and is rotated in accordance with the operation of the rotation operation unit 220. The disk portion of the rotation detection unit 202 is inserted into the groove 221. One or more protrusions 222 are also formed in the groove 221, and these protrusions 222 are used to press the disk portion of the rotation detection unit 202 during rotation of the rotation operation unit 220. Specifically, by rotating the rotation operation unit 220, the protrusions 222 follow the rotation and reach the position of the disk portion of the rotation detection unit 202, pressing it and forcing the disk portion of the rotation detection unit 202 into the recess 201. This enables the rotation detection unit 202 to detect the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 220, and a predetermined effect is output in response to the detection of the rotation operation. As described above, the recess 211 is provided on the outer surface of the secondary toy body 102, and is an area into which the protrusion 203 fits when the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the attachment unit 200, and this fitting holds the secondary toy body 102 in place.
[0022] <Cross-section> A cross section of the attachment part to which the secondary toy object according to this embodiment is attached will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a cross section of the attachment part 200 of the performance output toy 100 with the secondary toy object 102 attached thereto.
[0023] The two-stage switch 204 comprises a first actuating portion 204a, a second actuating portion 204b, and springs 206a and 206b. Furthermore, holding portions 205a and 205b are provided at positions opposite the two-stage switch 204. The first actuating portion 204a and the second actuating portion 204b are provided at a predetermined distance in the direction in which the secondary toy body 102 is attached, and are biased by the springs 206a and 206b so that their tips protrude inside the recess 201. Furthermore, the first actuating portion 204a and the second actuating portion 204b are pushed to the left in the drawing (toward the spring) by being pressed by the pressing portion 210a of the secondary toy body 102 or a push button (not shown), and when pushed to a predetermined position, they become conductive and operate.
[0024] 4 shows the state in which the secondary toy object 102 is attached to the attachment part 200. When attached, the first actuating part 204a is pressed in by the pressing part 210a and actuated, and then protrudes into the recess 201 due to the biasing force of the spring 206a. In this state, the tip of the first actuating part 204a fits into the recess formed in the upper part of the pressing part 210a. This makes it possible to hold the secondary toy object 102 in place and prevents it from easily falling off the attachment part 200.
[0025] 4, further operation of the operating member (not shown) causes the pressing portion 210a to advance to the back of the attachment portion 200 (downward in the figure). This causes the second actuation portion 204b to be pressed toward the spring 206b, causing it to become conductive and actuate. In this way, in the effect output toy 100 according to this embodiment, the two-stage switch 204 can be actuated when the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the main toy body 101 and when the operating member is operated, and different effect outputs can be produced at each timing.
[0026] Although the holding portions 205a and 205b do not have a switching function, they are otherwise configured similarly to the first actuating portions 204a and 204b, respectively. That is, when the secondary toy object 102 is attached, the holding portion 205a is pressed by the pressing portion 210b or a push button (not shown), and once attachment is complete, the tip of the holding portion 205a protrudes into the recess 201 due to the biasing force of the spring 207, and fits into the recess formed above the pressing portion 210b. Furthermore, by further operating the operating element (not shown), the pressing portion 210b is pressed downward, and the holding portion 205b is pressed and pushed inward. A detailed operating procedure for the two-stage switch 204 will be described later using Figures 5A and 5B.
[0027] <Operation Procedure> The light output of this performance output toy will be described with reference to Figures 5A and 5B. Figure 5A shows the operation procedure when the main toy body 101 has a push button. Figure 5B shows the operation procedure when the main toy body 101 does not have a push button.
[0028] 5A(a) is a schematic diagram of the main toy body 101 having a push button 501. The main toy body 101 has the push button 501 biased by a spring 502, and a performance output unit 503. When the secondary toy body 102 is not attached, the push button 501 protrudes into the recess 201 due to the biasing force of the spring 502.
[0029] 5A(b) shows the state in which the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the recess 201 of the attachment part 200. In this attached state, the push button 501 is pressed by the secondary toy body 102 and pushed down to a first depth. This causes the first operating part 204a of the two-stage switch 204 to be pressed and activated. In response to the activation of the first operating part 204a, the performance output part 503 performs a performance output in a first performance pattern, as shown by 511. Details of the performance output will be described later. Note that in this attached state, the push button 501 has not yet reached the second operating part 204b located below the first operating part 204a, and the second operating part 204b is not activated.
[0030] FIG. 5A(c) shows the state in which the operator 510 provided on the secondary toy body 102 has been operated. When the operator 510 is pressed in the direction of the arrow, a part of the operator 510 protrudes from the opposite side of the secondary toy body 102, and the push button 501 is pressed down to a second depth that is deeper than the first depth. This presses and activates the second actuation portion 204b of the two-stage switch 204. In response to the actuation of the second actuation portion 204b, the effect output unit 503 outputs an effect in a second effect pattern different from the first effect pattern, as shown in 512. Meanwhile, when the push button 501 is pressed down to the second depth, the pressure on the first actuation portion 204a by the push button 501 is released, and the first actuation portion 204a protrudes above the push button 501 due to the biasing force of the spring. After the operation of pushing the operating element 510, the operating element 510 may be returned to the state of Fig. 5A(b) by the biasing force of the spring 502. Alternatively, the operating element 510 may be released from the state of Fig. 5A(c) by pushing it again, thereby returning it to the state of Fig. 5A(b).
[0031] Fig. 5B(a) is a schematic diagram of the main toy body 101 in a form that does not have a push button. The main toy body 101 has a performance output unit 503. When the sub toy body 102 is not attached, the position where the push button 501 is located is hollow, compared to Fig. 5A(a) in a form that has the push button 501.
[0032] FIG. 5B(b) shows the state in which the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the recess 201 of the attachment part 200. In this attached state, the protruding part 901 on the lower side of the operator 900 provided on the secondary toy body 102 reaches a first depth. This causes the first operating part 204a of the two-stage switch 204 to be pressed in and activated. In response to the activation of the first operating part 204a, the performance output part 503 performs a performance output in a first performance pattern, as shown by 511. Details of the performance output will be described later. Note that in this attached state, the protruding part 901 has not yet reached the second operating part 204b disposed below the first operating part 204a, and the second operating part 204b is not activated.
[0033] FIG. 5B(c) shows the state in which the operator 900 provided on the secondary toy body 102 is operated. When the operator 900 is pressed in the direction of the arrow, the protruding portion 901 protruding from the opposite side of the secondary toy body 102 is pressed down to a second depth deeper than the first depth. This presses down and activates the second actuation portion 204b of the two-stage switch 204. In response to the actuation of the second actuation portion 204b, the performance output unit 503 outputs a performance in a second performance pattern different from the first performance pattern, as shown in 512. On the other hand, when the protruding portion 901 is pressed down to the second depth, the depression on the first actuation portion 204a is released by the recess formed in the operator 900, and the first actuation portion 204a protrudes above the protruding portion 901 due to the biasing force of the spring. Note that the operator 900 may be released from the state shown in FIG. 5B(c) by pressing it again, returning it to the state shown in FIG. 5B(b). Alternatively, a spring 502 may be provided as in FIG. 5A to push the protrusion 901 back upward.
[0034] <Control unit configuration> An example of the configuration of a control unit according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a control unit 600.
[0035] The control unit (control unit) 600 includes a CPU 601, a memory unit 602, a power supply unit 603, an LED 604, a detection unit 605, a group of switches 607, and a speaker 608. The CPU 601 is a central processing unit that controls the entire control unit 600. The CPU 601 performs each process described below by reading and executing programs stored in the memory unit 602. In addition to the programs, the memory unit 602 also stores various data and a group of tables. The performance output unit 503 is a component corresponding to the control unit 600.
[0036] The power supply unit 603 controls the supply of power to the control unit 600 in response to switching of a power switch (not shown). The power supply is constituted by, for example, a battery, and may be a rechargeable battery. Alternatively, a USB connection terminal (not shown) may be provided so that a rechargeable battery can be charged by connecting via USB.
[0037] The detection unit 605 detects that the secondary toy body 102 has been connected to the mounting unit 200 of the main toy body 101, and detects operations (pressing and rotating) by various controls and output signals from the switch group 607 resulting from these operations. The LED 604 is a light-emitting device provided on the main toy body 101, and its light emission is controlled by the CPU 601. The LED 604 is a color LED that can emit light in multiple colors and can switch the emitted color according to the performance pattern. The speaker 608 is a device that outputs sound as a performance output. The speaker 608 is provided inside the main toy body 101. In addition to the LED 604 and speaker 608, a vibration device such as a vibrator may also be provided as a device for performance output. The switch group 607 is various switches provided on the main toy body 101, and includes, for example, a power switch, two-stage switch 204, rotation detection unit 202, and controls. Operating the controls produces performance outputs such as light output and sound output.
[0038] <Performance output table> With reference to FIG. 7, the effect output table stored in the storage section 602 of the control unit 600 of the main toy body 101 according to this embodiment will be described.
[0039] Table 700 defines information relating to a plurality of effect output patterns. 701 indicates the identification number of the effect defined in each table. The identification number is information corresponding to the type of secondary toy body 102. Here, a case where there are multiple types of secondary toy body 102 will be described, but if only one secondary toy body 102 is applied, the table will have a row "001". 702 defines the effect output pattern (first effect pattern) that is output when a secondary toy body 102 is attached to the main toy body 101. 703 defines the effect output pattern (second effect pattern) that is output when controls 510, 900 are operated while the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the main toy body 101. Note that table 700 also defines effect output patterns when the rotation detection unit 202 or other controls are operated, but these are omitted from the illustration.
[0040] The performance output patterns are defined for each identification number of the sub-toy object 102, with a management number (file name) of a light output pattern that outputs light and a management number (file name) of a sound output pattern that outputs sound, when the toy is worn 702 and when the toy is operated 703. The memory unit 602 stores light output data and sound output data corresponding to the management number. The CPU 601 reads each data and drives the LED 604 and speaker 608. The management number corresponds to the file name.
[0041] For example, when table 700 identification number "001" is attached 702, the control number for the light output is "L001" and the control number for the sound output is "M001," and when controller 205 is operated 703, the control number for the light output is "L101" and the control number for the sound output is "M101." Therefore, when CPU 601 is attached to a sub-toy object 102 with identification number 001 and the controller 205 is operated to output a performance, it reads files "L101" and "M101" from storage unit 602 and outputs light and sound via LED 604 and speaker 608 according to the respective files.
[0042] <Performance output control> The processing procedure for effect output control according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 8. The processing described below is realized, for example, by the CPU 601 reading and executing data and programs stored in the storage unit 602. The number following S indicates the step number in this flowchart.
[0043] In S101, the CPU 601 determines whether the power switch of the performance output toy has been turned on and the toy has been started up. Once the toy has been started up, the process proceeds to S102. In S102, the CPU 601 starts detecting the attachment state of the main toy body 101 using the detection unit 605. The detection unit 605 monitors the output signal from the two-stage switch 204 (first actuation unit 204a). When the CPU 601 receives an output signal exceeding a predetermined value, it determines that the secondary toy body 102 has been attached to the main toy body 101. Note that here, identification information identifying the type of the secondary toy body 102 may be read and received using a sensor (not shown), and the type of the attached secondary toy body 102 may be specified. Here, the CPU 601 stores the detected attachment state and type of the secondary toy body 102 in the memory unit 602. As a result, for example, even if the secondary toy body 102 is started up while attached to the main toy body 101, the attachment state and type detected when the secondary toy body 102 was attached can be retained.
[0044] Next, in S103, when the secondary toy object 102 is attached to the attachment section 200 of the main toy object 101, the CPU 601 performs an attachment effect output according to the attachment state. Specifically, if the type of the attached secondary toy object 102 is identification number "001", the CPU 601 refers to the table 700, reads out the light output file "L001" and sound output file "M001" of attachment time 702, and performs an effect output using the first effect pattern according to the read data.
[0045] In S104, the CPU 601 determines whether any of the controls 111, 220, 500, 900, etc. have been operated. If they have been operated, the process proceeds to S106; if not, the process proceeds to S105. In S105, the CPU 601 determines whether a change has occurred in the state of the main toy body 101 or the attachment state of the sub-toy body 102. If a change has occurred in either state, the process proceeds to S106; if no change has occurred, the process proceeds to S107.
[0046] In S106, the CPU 601 outputs a performance via the LED 604 and the speaker 608 according to the various current states. Here, the various states indicate whether or not the controls have been operated, the state of attachment of the secondary toy object 102, etc. The CPU 601 outputs a performance based on this information. Note that if the controls 500, 900 are operated while the secondary toy object 102 is attached, the performance is output in the second performance pattern using the table 700.
[0047] In S107, the CPU 601 determines whether the power switch has been turned off. If the power switch has been turned off, the process of this flowchart ends; if not, the process returns to S105.
