[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 combined arbitrarily. 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 Figure 1, an example of the external configuration of the performance output toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 1 shows the front view of the performance output toy 100. The x, y, and z arrows indicate the upward, left, and forward directions in the model toy, respectively. 【0011】 As shown in Figure 1(a), the performance output toy 100 is composed of a housing 101, a rotating body 102, an operator 106, and a sub-toy body 107. The housing 101 has an opening 104 in the center. 105 indicates the peripheral wall portion which forms the inner wall of the opening 104. The peripheral wall portion 105 is formed to surround the rotating body 102 based on the contour of the rotating body 102. The opening 104 may be formed as a through hole, or it may be formed as a recess with a wall on the back side. 【0012】 The rotating body 102 is a hollow rotating body that is rotatably supported by shaft members 103a and 103b in an opening 104 provided in the housing 101. The shaft members 103a and 103b support the rotating body 102 by sandwiching it from above and below the opening 104. The rotating body 102 rotates horizontally in the direction of the arrow in the figure, with the shaft members 103a and 103b as the axis of rotation, as shown in Figure 1(b), by operating the operator 106. The operator 106 can be operated by pushing it into the housing 101. 【0013】 Furthermore, an LED 108, which is a light-emitting element, is provided at the upper end of the shaft member 103b. The LED 108 is located inside the rotating body 102. Therefore, the LED 108 can emit light upwards from the lower inside of the rotating body 102. The LED 108 can emit light in multiple colors, and this is controlled according to the type of auxiliary toy body 107. It should be noted that there is no intention to limit the present invention, and the LED 108 may also be provided at the lower end of the upper shaft member 103a. 【0014】 The rotating body 102 has multiple holes through which light irradiated from the inside by the LED 108 passes. By operating the control element 106, the rotating body 102 rotates and the LED 108 emits light, causing light to pass from the rotating body 102 to the outside through the multiple holes. The light that has passed through the multiple holes of the rotating body 102 is irradiated onto the peripheral wall portion 105. In this embodiment, the depth of the peripheral wall portion 105 is formed to be longer than the depth of the rotating body 102. This allows more light that has passed through the multiple holes of the rotating body 102 to be projected onto the peripheral wall portion 105. Also, in accordance with the rotation of the rotating body 102, the light passing through the multiple holes of the rotating body 102 also rotates. Thus, according to this embodiment, the rotating body 102, the peripheral wall portion 105, and the LED 108 realize a pseudo-mirror ball-like effect output. 【0015】 The auxiliary toy body 107 is a ribbon-shaped member that can be attached to and detached from a mounting part (not shown) of the housing 101, and any shape may be applied to it. In this embodiment, the performance output toy 100 is performed by attaching (also referred to as "connecting") the auxiliary toy body 107 to the housing 101, and by operating the operator 106, performance output is started using light output from the LED 108 and sound output from a speaker (not shown), depending on the type of auxiliary toy body 107. 【0016】 The sub-toy body 107 can be attached to the housing 101 by fitting it into the connection part provided on the housing 101. Also, a plurality of types of sub-toy bodies 107 are provided, and an identifier for identifying the type is provided. The present effect output toy 100 can change the effect output according to the type of the sub-toy body 107 connected to the housing 101. 【0017】 Therefore, the effect output toy 100 needs to specify the type (identifier) of the sub-toy body 107, and any type of detection unit can be applied to the mechanism therefor. For example, a plurality of switches formed in a convex shape may be provided at the connection part of the housing 101, and the type of the sub-toy body 107 may be specified according to the position where the convex part is pushed when the sub-toy body 107 is attached. Alternatively, a sensor may be provided on the housing 101, and the type of the sub-toy body 107 may be specified by reading an identifier (such as a two-dimensional code or an RFID tag) provided on the sub-toy body 107. Alternatively, a control board may be provided on the sub-toy body 107, electrically connected to the control unit 200 provided inside the housing 101, and the type of the sub-toy body 107 may be specified by reading information from the control board of the sub-toy body 107. 【0018】 The effect output toy 100 in the present embodiment may perform sound output in accordance with the light output as the effect output. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may further perform an effect output by vibration. The effect output toy 100 further has a control unit 200 provided inside for controlling the above-described effect output. The control unit 200 refers to a table storing effect output data according to the type of the sub-toy body 107 when the sub-toy body 107 is connected to the housing 101 or when the operator 106 is operated, and controls the effect. 【0019】 <Configuration of the rotating body> Referring to FIG. 2, the detailed configuration of the rotating body 102 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the rotating body 102 and the cover member. 【0020】 The rotating body 102 is a heart-shaped, hollow rotating body. However, there is no intention to limit the present invention, and the rotating body 102 may be of various rotatable shapes. In accordance with the heart shape of the rotating body 102, the peripheral wall portion 105 (opening 104) is also formed in a heart shape. In other words, the peripheral wall portion 105 is formed based on the contour of the rotating body 102. It is desirable that a certain distance be maintained between the rotating body 102 and the peripheral wall portion 105 so that the projection of light passing through the multiple holes in the rotating body 102 onto the peripheral wall portion 105 can be visually observed. 【0021】 The rotating body 102 has multiple holes 121 and 122 formed therein, which allow light irradiated from the LED 108 inside the rotating body 102 to pass through to the outside of the rotating body 102. The multiple holes 121 and 122 are formed across the entire surface of the rotating body 102, for example, the front, back, and both sides. Multiple holes 121 of a first size and multiple holes 122 of a second size smaller than the first size are formed in each of the multiple holes. The first-size holes 121 may be formed in multiple shapes. For example, they may be formed in the same shape as the rotating body 102 (heart shape), or in a different shape (for example, rectangular shape, circular shape, etc.). The shape of the light projected onto the peripheral wall 105 changes depending on the shape of the holes 121, so a variety of effects can be created. 【0022】 Furthermore, the surface of the rotating body 102 is plated to form a thin metal film in order to improve light reflectivity. There are no particular limitations on the metal used for plating, but it is desirable to use one with high light reflectivity. In addition, the surface of the rotating body 102 is formed with multifaceted cuts in order to diffuse light in multiple directions. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since light is irradiated from the inside of the rotating body 102 by the LED 108, the back surface of the rotating body 102 may also be plated or multifaceted. 【0023】 The rotating body 102 is formed by covering at least a portion of it with cover members 131a and 131b. Cover member 131a covers the front side of the rotating body 102, and cover member 131b is assembled to sandwich the rotating body 102 so as to cover the back side of the rotating body 102. In this embodiment, the configuration in which the entire rotating body 102 is covered by cover members 131a and 131b is described as an example, but this does not limit the present invention and it is sufficient if at least a portion of the rotating body 102 is covered. The cover members 131a and 131b are formed of transparent material and it is desirable that they transmit some of the light passing through the holes 121 and 122 of the rotating body 102 and reflect some of the light. Here, the transparent material may be a material with any light transmittance (reflectance), and may be a semi-transparent material. The light transmitted through cover members 131a and 131b is irradiated onto the peripheral wall portion 105. Meanwhile, the light reflected from the cover members 131a and 131b is irradiated onto the surface of the rotating body 102, which has been plated and multifaceted, and is re-reflected. 【0024】 The cover members 131a and 131b each have connecting parts 132a, 132b, 133a, and 133b formed on their upper and lower ends, which connect to the shaft members 103a and 103b. The connecting parts 132a and 132b each have fitting parts formed for fitting the cover members 131a and 131b. By fitting these fitting parts together, the rotating body 102 can be held inside. 【0025】 <Cross-sectional view of a toy with a special effect output> Referring to Figure 3, a cross-sectional view of the performance output toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, the rotation mechanism of the rotating body 102 and the arrangement of the LEDs 108 will be mainly described. A control unit 200 is provided on the upper part of the housing 101. The configuration of the control unit 200 will be described later. 【0026】 The rotating body 102 is rotated by the operation of the operator 106. The rotating mechanism includes a gearbox 140 and a spring 161. The rotating body 102 has shaft members 103a and 103b connected to the gearbox 140, which receives the rotational force. 【0027】 The gearbox 140 converts the power generated by operating the actuator 106 into rotational force and transmits it to the pivot shaft (shaft members 103a, 103b) of the rotating body 102, thereby rotating the rotating body 102. This causes the rotating body 102 to rotate horizontally. The actuator 106 is biased by a spring 161, and the operated actuator is returned to its original position by the biasing force of the spring. 【0028】 According to this embodiment, the rotating body 102 is formed in a heart shape. Therefore, the peripheral wall portion 105 that forms the opening 104 of the housing 101 is also formed in a heart shape and is formed based on the contour of the rotating body 102. Here, being formed based on the contour of the rotating body 102 includes both cases where it is formed along the overall contour of the rotating body 102 and cases where it is determined along a part of the contour of the rotating body 102. In other words, the peripheral wall portion 105 according to this embodiment only needs to be formed along at least a part of the contour of the rotating body 102. Furthermore, the cover members 131a and 131b of the rotating body 102 are also formed to form a hollow heart shape when combined. 【0029】 LED 108 is positioned at the upper end of the shaft member 103b that pivotally supports the rotating body 102 from below. Therefore, when LED 108 is driven, light is emitted upwards. The surface area of ​​the rotating body 102's exterior is larger on the top than on the bottom. Therefore, the number of holes for allowing light from below to pass through is greater on the top than on the bottom, which increases the amount of light that passes through. It should be noted that this invention is not intended to limit itself, and LEDs may be placed in other positions depending on the shape of the rotating body 102. 【0030】 <Control Unit Configuration> Referring to Figure 4, an example of the configuration of the control unit according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the control unit 200. 【0031】 The control unit (control unit) 200 comprises a CPU 201, a memory unit 202, a power supply unit 203, a detection unit 204, a switch group 207, and a speaker 208. The CPU 201 is a central processing unit that controls the entire control unit 200. The CPU 201 executes the processes described later by reading and executing the programs stored in the memory unit 202. In addition to the above programs, the memory unit 202 also stores various data and tables. 【0032】 The power supply unit 203 controls the supply of power to the control unit 200 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. 【0033】 The detection unit 204 detects that the auxiliary toy body 107 has been connected to the mounting portion of the housing 101. As described above, the detection unit 204 may have any detection mechanism depending on the configuration of the auxiliary toy body 107. The detection unit 204 also identifies the type of the connected auxiliary toy body 107. For example, as described above, the detection unit 204 may identify the type of the auxiliary toy body 107 according to which of the multiple convex switches provided on the mounting portion of the housing 101 was pressed when the auxiliary toy body 107 was attached. Alternatively, the detection unit 204 may identify the type of the auxiliary toy body 107 according to identification information read by a sensor that contains an identifier (such as a two-dimensional code) of the connected auxiliary toy body 107, or identification information obtained through data communication with the connected auxiliary toy body 107. 【0034】 The switch group 207 consists of various switches provided on the housing 101, including, for example, a power switch and an operator 106. By operating the operator 106, effects outputs such as light output and sound output are produced. The speaker 208 is a device that provides sound output as an effects output. The speaker 208 is provided inside the housing 101. In addition to the LED 108 and speaker 208, a vibration device such as a vibration device may also be provided as a device that provides effects output. 【0035】 <Effect Output Table> Referring to Figure 5, the performance output table stored in the storage unit 202 of the control unit 200 of the housing 101 according to this embodiment will be described. 【0036】 Table 300 defines information regarding multiple effect output patterns. 301 indicates the identification number of the effect defined in each table. This identification number is information associated with the type of auxiliary toy body 107. 302 indicates the management number of the light output pattern that performs light output. The memory unit 202 stores the light output data corresponding to this management number. The CPU 201 reads this data and drives the LED 108. 303 indicates the management number of the audio data that is read from the memory unit 202 and executed when sound output is performed. 303 indicates the management number of the sound output pattern that performs sound output. The memory unit 202 stores the audio output data corresponding to this management number. The CPU 201 reads this data and drives the speaker 208. This management number corresponds to the file name and the stored data may be in file format. 【0037】 For example, the management number for the light output of identification number "001" in table 300 is "L001," and the management number for the sound output is "M001." Therefore, when the CPU 201 performs the performance output for identification number 001, it reads the files "L001" and "M001" from the memory unit 202 and outputs light and sound via the LED 108 and speaker 208 according to the respective files. Depending on the type of toy body 107, the light output and sound output may be controlled using multiple data (files). 【0038】 <Production output control> Referring to Figure 6, 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 201 reading and executing data and programs stored in the memory unit 202. The number following S indicates the step number in this flowchart. 【0039】 In S101, the CPU 201 determines whether the power switch of the performance output toy 100 has been turned on and the toy has been activated. If the toy is activated, the process proceeds to S102. In S102, the CPU 201 performs the performance output at startup, for example, sound output via speaker 208. Alternatively or additionally, light output may be performed via LED 108. Note that the performances at startup, etc., are stored in the memory unit 202 separately from the table 300 mentioned above. 【0040】 Next, in S103, the CPU 201 determines, using the detection unit 204, whether the auxiliary toy body 107 has been attached (connected) to the housing 101. If it has been attached, the process proceeds to S104; otherwise, it proceeds to S106. In S104, the CPU 201 executes the processing for when the auxiliary toy body 107 has been attached, and then proceeds to S105. The detailed processing procedure for when the auxiliary toy body 107 has been attached will be described later with reference to Figure 7. 【0041】 Meanwhile, in S106, the CPU 201 determines whether the auxiliary toy body 107 has been removed from the housing 101 by the detection unit 204. If it has been removed, the process proceeds to S107; otherwise, it proceeds to S105. In S107, the CPU 201 determines whether the operator 106 has been operated. If it has been operated, the process proceeds to S108; otherwise, it proceeds to S105. In S108, the CPU 201 outputs a visual effect when the auxiliary toy body 107 is removed, for example, by outputting sound via the speaker 208. The visual effect for when the auxiliary toy body 107 is removed is stored in the storage unit 202 separately from the table 300 mentioned above. After executing this process, the process proceeds to S105. 【0042】 In S105, CPU201 determines whether the power switch has been turned off. If it has been turned off, the process in this flowchart ends; otherwise, the process returns to S103. 【0043】 <Handling procedure while the toy is attached to the body> Referring to Figure 7, a detailed processing procedure (S104) while the auxiliary toy body according to this embodiment is attached will be described. The processing described below is achieved, for example, by the CPU 201 reading and executing data and programs stored in the memory unit 202. 【0044】 In S201, the CPU201 determines whether the operator 106 has been operated. If it has been operated, the process proceeds to S102; otherwise, the process in this flowchart ends and the process proceeds to S105 in Figure 6. In S202, the CPU201 identifies the type of attached toy body 107. The method of identifying the type is as described above, based on the pressing positions of multiple convex switches, reading identifiers from sensors, and obtaining identification information through data communication. 【0045】 Next, in S203, the CPU201 reads and obtains information regarding the performance output from the table300 according to the type of auxiliary toy body 107 that is attached. Alternatively, the identification number of the performance output information on the table may be associated in advance with the identification information obtained from the auxiliary toy body 107, so that the performance output information with the identification number corresponding to the identification information obtained from the attached auxiliary toy body 107 is read out. 【0046】 In S204, CPU201 uses the information regarding the performance output acquired in S203 to output light and sound from LED108 and speaker208, respectively, ending the processing in this flowchart and proceeding to S105 in Figure 6. 【0047】 As described above, the performance output toy according to this embodiment comprises a housing having an opening, a light-emitting means provided in the opening, a rotating body rotatably supported in the opening so as to cover the light-emitting means and having a plurality of holes that allow light emitted from the light-emitting means to pass through, and a peripheral wall portion that surrounds the rotating body based on the contour of the rotating body. Thus, the present invention can provide a novel mechanism for a rotating body in a performance output toy. 【0048】 The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the shape of the output toy is not particularly limited and includes various shapes such as people, animals, robots, insects, dinosaurs, etc. 【0049】 <Summary of Embodiments> The above embodiment discloses at least the following toy devices for producing sound effects.
