BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking a portable game machine as an example of a game device, but the present invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing functions of the portable game machine according to the first embodiment.

This portable game machine uses a cassette (external storage means) A having a ROM 1 for storing a game program 1a, a plurality of image data 1b and sound data 1c, and causes the cassette A to execute the game program 1a. It is mounted and used in a state in which it is detachably and electrically connected to a game machine main body B having a control unit 2, and the control unit 2 displays the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 3 along with the progress of the game program 1a. 3a, a character appearing in the game is displayed as image data 1b, a sound is generated as sound data 1c from the speaker 4, and an input means 5 for the user to manually input his / her own intention; Motion detecting means 6 for detecting user's motion separately from means 5
And

As the motion detecting means 6, a semiconductor type acceleration sensor is used. This semiconductor type acceleration sensor is composed of a thin silicon beam portion (sensor portion) and a weight portion, and uses a piezoresistance effect of the sensor portion to generate a stress accompanying the strain of the beam portion caused by acceleration. Is to be detected. When acceleration is applied to the weight, the sensor portion is distorted, so that the electric resistance value of a plurality of diffusion layers formed above the sensor portion (here, diffusion layers formed in four rows) is changed. A weight is made at the tip of a thin piezoresistive sensor that is bent by stress by processing a silicon chip. The resistance value of the piezoresistive sensor is calculated by forming a bridge circuit as shown in Fig. 2 and using the fact that the resistance value decreases by compressive stress and increases by tensile stress. Converted to voltage output. Note that R1 to R4 in FIG. 2 are diffusion resistances corresponding to the respective resistance values of the diffusion layer.

The game machine main body B has a RAM 10 for running the game program 1a, and is provided with two power supplies 11 composed of AA batteries.

Next, the structure of the portable game machine will be described.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a portable game machine as a game device used in the first embodiment.

FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing the portable game machine.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the portable game machine includes a case body 21 for storing the above-described various functions. A liquid crystal display screen 3 for displaying an image corresponding to the progress of the game to the user is provided substantially at the center in the longitudinal direction on the surface of the case body 21.
a is provided. The liquid crystal display screen 3a is disposed such that the center line (two-dot chain line in the figure) D is slightly above the center line C (short-dash line in the figure) in the short direction of the case body 21. ing.

Also, on both left and right sides of the liquid crystal display screen 3a,
First input means 5 for the user to input his / her own intention
Are arranged. The first input means 5 includes a controller 5a located on the left side of the liquid crystal display screen 2a, two push buttons 5b located on the right side, and a pause key 5c. The controller 5a has four pressing points at the top, bottom, left and right. Controller 5a and push button 5b
(Center position of two push buttons) (Three-dot chain line F in the figure)
Are disposed slightly above the center line D of the liquid crystal display screen 3a. Moreover, the controller 5a and the push button 5b are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the liquid crystal display screen 3a. Thus, when the user holds the palms on both the right and left sides in contact with both side surfaces of the case body 21, the belly of the thumbs on both sides are located at the first input means 5, and the input operation is extremely performed. Easier to do. The pause key 5c is for temporarily stopping a displayed image when the user turns on the pause key. As described above, the liquid crystal display screen 3a is disposed substantially at the center of the surface of the case body 21 in the longitudinal direction. However, since the liquid crystal display screen 3a is disposed at a position slightly closer to the controller 5a (ie, a position deviated leftward), The surface of the case body 21 is formed such that the area near the push button 4b side is larger than that on the controller 5a side. The user may proceed with the game by arbitrarily selecting and pressing an appropriate one of the two push buttons 5b at a relatively high speed. In order to alternately operate the two push buttons 5b at such a high speed, the operation is performed by increasing the area near the push buttons 5b and increasing the distance between the push buttons 5b to some extent as in the present embodiment. It is possible to improve the performance. On the other hand, if the distance between the two push buttons 5b is too small, the operability deteriorates.

Further, a power switch 22 that can be manually operated by a user is provided above the controller 5a. The power switch 22 is set to be turned on when the user keeps pressing it for a certain period of time (for example, two seconds). Thus, even if the user accidentally presses the power switch 22 momentarily, the power is not turned on, and wasteful power consumption can be prevented. Further, on the right side of the power switch 22, a light emitting device 32 composed of an LED device or the like is provided. Thus, for example, in the liquid crystal display screen 3a, even when the contrast volume of the liquid crystal display screen 2a described later is the darkest and the image is hardly seen, the user can turn on the power switch 22. So you can immediately determine
It is less likely that the power supply 11 is continuously turned on and the power supply is wasted unnecessarily without knowing the operation state of the power supply switch 22.

Further, a plurality of long holes 24 are provided below the controller 5a so that the sound from the speaker 4 can be easily heard by the user.

The following functions are provided inside the case body 21.

On the back side of the push button 5b, two AA dry batteries (power supply) 11, which are power supplies, are arranged in parallel. A substantially circular and thin auxiliary battery (power supply) 26 is provided on the back side of the speaker 4. This auxiliary battery 26
Although not shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the clock display circuit and the memo storage circuit provided in the game machine main body B are provided to always operate regardless of the ON operation of the power switch 22. . The clock display circuit is provided, for example, for the purpose of displaying Japan time or displaying time in various parts of the world. The memo storage circuit is provided for the purpose of, for example, making a memo of a work or a private business not related to the game by key input, storing the memo, and displaying it when desired. In recent years, it is often desired that electronic devices have many functions. On the other hand, there has not been a game device including the above-described functions, and the game device according to the present embodiment plays a game or uses the above-described functions according to the situation, and uses the game by the user himself / herself. Can be determined each time.

The following functions are provided inside the case body 21 and on the lower end surface thereof. First, from the left side, a volume control 27 for changing the volume reproduced from the speaker / microphone 4, an external power supply adapter 29 for taking in power from outside in addition to the dry battery 25 and the auxiliary battery 26 in the case body 21, and an earphone An adapter 28 and a display volume 30 for changing the density of an image displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 3a are provided. The volume volume 27 and the display volume 30
It can be changed by a user's manual operation.

Further, since there is no function on both sides of the case body 21 that can be manually operated by the user, when the user plays the game while holding it with both the left and right hands, for example, the hand may be displayed incorrectly. It is possible to prevent the image on the liquid crystal display screen 3a from being completely invisible due to the contact with the volume 30 for the game, and the game can be favorably advanced.

An insertion opening for inserting the cassette A is formed in the upper end surface of the case body 21 at a substantially central portion in a longitudinal direction thereof. A connector as a connecting means for electrically connecting to the cassette A is provided at the back of the insertion slot.

On the left side of the upper end surface of the case body 21, an adapter 31 for electrically connecting to another game device (for example, for a communication unit for electrically connecting to a communication unit) is provided. Have been.

Next, in the present embodiment, an example of playing a game while making the motion detecting means 6 function will be described.

In this game, the user walks while holding the portable game machine, thereby causing the character on the display screen to walk and proceeding in a maze.

In this case, for example, when the user walks to the left, the motion detecting means 6 detects the motion and transmits it to the control unit 2 and responds to this by moving the character to the left on the display screen. When the user walks to the right and the user walks to the right, the character is similarly moved to the right on the display screen, and the movement of the user can be faithfully reproduced on the character. In addition, for example, when an obstacle or a falling object is given to the character while the character is moving in the maze on the display screen, the user may actually run, squat, or jump. It is also possible to make the character reproduce the kinetic movement and to overcome this difficulty. By appropriately incorporating such a movement during the game, it is possible to give the user a feeling as if the character on the display screen is himself, and to be absorbed in the game. Become.

Therefore, by using the game apparatus of the present embodiment, it is possible to input the movement of the user via the movement detecting means 6 and reflect the movement while the game program 1a is in progress. Instead of being passive in that the game is being played along 1a, it is possible to be active in that the user himself is playing the game.

In the present invention, the function of the motion detecting means may be set according to the use of the game. When only the forward, backward, left and right motions need to be input, for example, a two-dimensional acceleration sensor may be used. When it is desired to input the forward, backward, left and right and up and down movements, for example, the three-dimensional acceleration sensor or the two-dimensional acceleration sensor may be used in an orthogonal state.

The location of the motion detecting means 6 is not limited to this, and is not limited to the inside of the game machine main body B,
It may be provided in the cassette A, or may be provided as a separate body, for example, to be worn by a user.

Further, as the acceleration sensor as the motion detecting means 6, it is possible to use a pendulum type (using a deformation of a thin film gauge) other than the semiconductor type as described above.

In addition, in the present invention, it is also possible to use a sensor using a gyro as the motion detecting means 6. This gyro detects inclination using the property that a rotating rotating body tries to keep the direction of its rotating axis constant, or measures the torque and angular velocity of the rotating rotating body to determine the right and left directions. It is possible to detect the rotation direction and direction by the change in torque when rotation or deflection occurs, and to use a piezoelectric ceramic to face each side of the triangular prism to detect waveform noise Can also detect the rotation direction. of course,
It is also possible to detect acceleration by a predetermined calculation formula using this gyro.

Next, a second embodiment will be described using a portable game machine as an example of a game device.

This portable game machine has the above-described first embodiment except that the movement detecting means 6 is replaced by a position detecting means 41 for detecting a position where a user having the portable game machine is present. It has almost the same function and structure as the portable game machine in the embodiment.

As a position detecting means, a GPS (Global P
It is possible to use communication means having a receiving function using an ositioning system. GPS is a kind of navigation system that uses satellites in a mobile satellite communication system, and uses the fact that the orbit of a satellite can be represented by a coordinate system centered on the center of the earth, and is transmitted from multiple satellites. Is a method of detecting the time difference between the satellites, receiving information (navigation signals) related to the position of the satellite, and applying the information to a calculation formula to calculate the position (longitude and latitude) of the receiving point on the earth.

As an example of a game to be played using this portable game machine, information data on a game corresponding to each of the existing positions is stored in the game program 1a of the cassette A, and the position data received using the GPS is stored. In some games, the information data corresponding to the information is displayed on a display screen and a game is played. As the information data, there are background images, characters and character clothes, music played during the game, and the like, and when the user is on a vehicle such as a train and the moving distance per unit time is very long, For example, on the display screen,
Changes based on the position information of the PS, giving difficulties such as enemy attacks and quizzes to the character according to this change, and further changing the difficulties while breaking through the predetermined moving distance Is also conceivable. As shown in FIG. 5, this communication means is provided as a communication unit 41 which can be detachably attached to the game machine main body B via an adapter 31 or the like. When playing a game using GPS, the communication unit 41 What is necessary is just to attach to the machine main body B. Of course, the communication means can be provided in the game machine main body B.

The GPS as the position detecting means can be applied to fortune-telling games such as azimuth fortune-telling and astrology by Western astrology. As an example, FIG. 6 shows a portable game machine provided with a GPS unit having a GPS reception function. FIG. 7 shows a portable game machine using the cassette 54 having the GPS unit 80.

Further, G as a work RAM as a temporary storage means for storing the processed data.
A PS dedicated RAM 45 is provided, and these are electrically connected inside the GPS unit 80. In the present invention, the position data refers to “longitude data” and “latitude data” (for a youkai capture game described later, “altitude data” is also included in the position data).

As a specific description, the receiving unit 44 includes a plurality of GPs (not shown) that have been launched in advance in the sky.
The GPS signal (position data) is constantly received from the S satellite (the position of the game player is detected). The GPS signal received from the receiving unit 44 is transmitted to a GPS dedicated CPU.
At 42, the data is converted into longitude and latitude data, that is, a data format that can be handled by the control unit 2 in the game machine main body B as position data. The longitude data and the latitude data as the converted position data are stored in the GPS dedicated RAM 45.

The GPS dedicated RAM 45 stores the above hardware setting items in addition to the position data. The setting items include, for example, settings for controlling a time interval for acquiring a GPS signal received from a GPS satellite (for example, acquiring a GPS signal once every 10 seconds) and a GPS signal received from the receiving unit 44.

The GPS dedicated RAM is a GPS dedicated CP.
It is configured so that data processing can be performed from both the game machine main body B (not shown, a serial port is also provided on the game machine main body B side) connected via the U42 and the serial port 46. Therefore, it is preferable to store and handle relatively frequently used data (for example, position data). By doing so, it is possible to prevent a reduction in the processing speed of the position data acquired from the sequential receiving unit 44 to some extent.

When the GPS unit 80 and the game machine body B have different specifications, a converter for performing data conversion may be provided so that the GPS unit 80 can be handled in a format corresponding to the specifications.

Referring to FIG. 9, a cassette H with a GPS unit includes a ROM 1 as external storage means and a GPS unit 80, which are electrically connected internally.

As for a specific description, the ROM 1 has almost the same configuration as that described with reference to FIG. That is,
The ROM 1 in the cassette H with the GPS unit is provided with the ROM 1 for storing the game program 1a, a plurality of image data 1b and sound data 1c. The GPS unit 80 is almost the same as that described with reference to FIG. That is, the GPS unit 80 has a dedicated GPS power supply 43 for turning on / off a switch from a power supply source such as a dry battery to operate the GPS unit so that the game player can operate the GPS unit. And a G for controlling the GPS unit 80 by turning on the GPS dedicated power supply.

The GPS dedicated RAM 45 stores the above hardware setting items in addition to the position data. The setting items include, for example, settings for controlling a time interval for acquiring a GPS signal received from a GPS satellite (for example, acquiring a GPS signal once every 10 seconds) and a GPS signal received from the receiving unit 44. Is calculated and written to the GPS-dedicated RAM 45 at time intervals set in position data such as longitude data and latitude data. These settings are made using the operation buttons 58 of the game machine main body B.

The data (for example, the setting items described above) stored in the PS dedicated RAM 45 can be read and written as shared data of the GPS dedicated CPU 54 and the control unit 2 in the game machine main body B.

The GPS dedicated RAM is a GPS dedicated CP.
Since data processing can be performed from both the U42 and the game machine main body B, it is preferable to store and handle relatively frequently used data (for example, position data). By doing so, the sequential receiving unit 4
This is because a reduction in the processing speed of the position data acquired from the position data 4 can be prevented to some extent.

Similarly, when the GPS unit 80 and the game machine main body B have different specifications, a converter for performing data conversion may be provided so that the GPS unit 80 can be handled in a format corresponding to the specifications.

A description will be given below of a fortune-telling game as an example based on the flowchart of FIG. 10 with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

First, when the game player presses the power button 59, the game machine body 55 becomes usable and the game starts. GPS unit 8
Set the switch of the GPS dedicated power supply 43 attached to
N so that the position data can be obtained from GPS satellites.

Next, a screen for prompting the game player to make an input is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56. The game player can use the operation buttons 58 based on the display contents.
The user makes various inputs (step 1).

On the liquid crystal display 56, a message "Please enter a name" necessary for performing various inputs is displayed as a screen for prompting an input. Although not shown, after the message is displayed, a list of the hiragana characters arranged in the order of the Japanese syllabary is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, and a cursor appears at the portion of "a". The game player performs an input operation while moving the cursor with the operation buttons 58 according to this message. Similarly, the game player is asked to enter the date of birth (year x month x day),
"Please enter your gender (male / female)", "Please enter your blood type (A / O / B / AB)", "Please enter your hometown (can be country or prefecture) Are displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 in the order of "", and the input operation of data corresponding to the game player is performed by the operation buttons 58 continuously for each message. When the input of “birth date” is completed in this input operation, the constellation corresponding to the input date of birth and the name of the constellation are displayed on the screen.

Also, these input items are not input each time, but the game player inputs the input items in advance using the operation buttons 58 to the above-mentioned memo storage circuit as storage means provided in the game machine body. In order to avoid repeated input (for example, the same input items such as name, date of birth, gender, blood type, etc., which must be input repeatedly), use minimal input (for example, data Are you sure, you only need to select either “YES / NO” and input) (fortune-telling based on this input data). As another means, these input items must be
S dedicated RAM 45, position data sequentially acquired from a receiving unit 44 described later are also stored in the GPS dedicated RAM 45, and input items and position data are stored in the game machine main body B (in this case, a serial conversion terminal). 46, and perform data conversion so that they can be handled separately) and G
A method of setting so that the processing can be performed from both the PS dedicated CPU 42 may be adopted. Thus, for example, when it is desired to use the same input data and change only the position data to fortune-telling, it is possible to save the trouble of repeatedly inputting the same.

In recent years, various types of games have become widespread, and the number of games requiring complicated operations for game players has been increasing. However, the operations are as simple as possible, and operations that can be omitted should be omitted as much as possible. There seem to be many game players who have demands. In light of this,
The provision of the storage means or the temporary storage means is very advantageous.

When Step 1 is completed, the GPS unit 80 performs position detection and obtains position data (Step 2).

A method of position detection is as follows. Although not shown, GPS signals from a plurality of previously launched GPS satellites are
It is received by the receiving unit 44 in the S unit 80. Longitude data and latitude data are obtained from the received signal, and the accurate position of the game player is detected and processed by the GPS dedicated CPU 42. The detected and processed longitude data and latitude data are stored in the GPS dedicated RAM 45. Then, the data is again processed by the GPS dedicated CPU 42 using the longitude data and the latitude data obtained from the GPS signal. At this time, for example, based on the longitude data and the latitude data stored in the GPS
The position data is transferred from the GPS dedicated RAM 45 by the PU 42 via the serial conversion terminal 46 to the liquid crystal display 5.
6 and converted to a format that can be handled by
6, the current position of the game player may be displayed by displaying a message such as "Your current position is 135.123 degrees east longitude and 35.456 degrees north latitude".

When step 2 is completed, a process for outputting a fortune-telling result is performed using the input data created in step 1 and the position data obtained in step 2.
(Step 3).

The processing is performed by the control unit. The control unit controls various items “name”, “birth date”, “sex”, “blood type”,
Each input data of "Hometown" and G of Step 2
Using the "longitude data" and "latitude data" obtained from the PS signal, that is, the respective position data, the plurality of types of input data and the plurality of types of position data (in other words, stored in the GPS dedicated RAM 45 in step 2). Data based on the GPS)
Of the game program 1a provided in the ROM 1 inside the cassette 54 through the serial conversion terminal 46 to perform a process for obtaining a fortune-telling result. “A plurality of types” means that the types of the items are plural. In this processing, all of a plurality of types of input data and a plurality of types of position data necessary for a game set in a game program in advance are all GPS-only RAs.
By aligning with M45, the processing for outputting the fortune-telling result is performed by the control unit in a lump. The collective processing means that a plurality of types of predetermined data stored in the GPS-dedicated RAM 45 necessary for advancing the game set in advance by the game program 1a (in the embodiment of the present invention, "Name", "birth date", "sex", "blood type", "hometown" as data, and "longitude data" and "latitude data" as position data. Is output to the liquid crystal display 56, and the control unit performs the processing and collectively. In other words, this means that the control unit ultimately performs the processing collectively, and for example, there is no limitation on an intermediate processing step such as converting the position data into game information data necessary for the game (in other words, the intermediate processing step). That is, the present invention is not limited to performing a general process using the data on the GPS dedicated RAM 45 at all, and finally processing the plurality of types of data collectively at the control unit.) For example, after the game player has input “name”, “birth date”, “sex”, “blood type”, and “hometown” as input data, an intermediate process is performed once (once for GPS only). The data is stored in a state processed in the RAM 45), and then "longitude data" as position data,
This corresponds to the case where the control unit finally performs the processing collectively using the input data that has been subjected to the intermediate processing once after acquiring the “latitude data”. As a matter of course, an intermediate process may be performed every time the input data and the position data are acquired, and finally the process may be performed by the control unit. Of course, the processing may be performed in consideration of data of the time display circuit and the memo storage circuit as data necessary for the game. The ROM 1 in the cassette 54 has a game program 1a for advancing a predetermined game (here, a fortune-telling game) and a game program for playing this game (here, a horoscope for horoscopes by azimuth and Western astrology). Image data 1 required to advance
b and sound data 1c are stored.

The fortune-telling result is output based on the processing contents of step 3 (step 4).

The result of the fortune-telling is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56.
It is performed by being displayed in. In the fortune-telling result items, a plurality of items such as health luck, love luck, money luck, and lucky color are displayed on the liquid crystal display 55. The output is not limited to the screen. For example, a small printer may be prepared as an option, and the small printer may be used to output to paper. By noting the input items input in step 1 and the fortune-telling time and the position data stored in the time display circuit, not only the interest in the fortune-telling result is raised, but also the position where the game player actually fortune-tells is displayed. Each time by changing the position of the game player's fortune-telling, which could not be realized by the professional fortune-telling game machine fixedly installed in the game center because it directly affects the fortune-telling result, the game player's will It is possible to provide the game player with a so-called fortune-telling result that can provide different fortune-telling results to the game player. Under such circumstances, the adoption of a handheld portable game in the game machine itself is lightweight and easy to carry, so that it becomes easy for the game player to obtain different position data each time, for example, a fortune-telling game It can be said that this is a very suitable means for the position data affecting the game (fortune-telling) result as described above, since the above-mentioned effect is remarkably exhibited.

When the output of the result is completed, it is confirmed with the game player whether or not to continue the game (step 5).

On the liquid crystal display 56, "Do you still want to fortune telling? (YES / NO)" is displayed. At this time, the cursor is positioned at “YES”.
The cursor can select either YES or NO, and the game player operates the operation button 58 to select and determine one of the options. If NO is selected here, the game ends.

If YES is selected in step 5,
It is checked with the game player whether or not the input content has changed (step 6).

In the same way as in step 5, the liquid crystal display 56 displays "Change input contents (YES / N
O) "is displayed. If YES is selected here, the process returns to step 1 and the game player performs various inputs again. If NO is selected, the process returns to step 2. Of course, if NO is selected, step 1
Use the same input items.

As can be said for all the steps, it is more preferable that a sound corresponding to each step is emitted from the speaker 57 in synchronization with the display on the liquid crystal display 56.

As shown in FIG. 11, the GPS unit 80 may first detect the position, and then, after the position is detected, various inputs may be made using the operation buttons 58. The details of each step are as described above.

As a game system using GPS, Japanese Patent Application No. 9-26207 is known. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game system in which game players are divided into a plurality of groups and play a game while moving.
In this game system, there is a referee for judging a game. The referee and a game machine owned by the game player display a battle map or GPS
By receiving radio signals from satellites, the situation (for example, the current position) of a plurality of groups of combat teams can be changed. For example, a reaction area such as a traveling route, a scoring area, or a mine area (a different effect can be obtained when the game device enters these areas). The present invention relates to a game system utilizing sequential display on a screen of a game machine in response to a relationship with the game system. However, the present invention is not used for displaying the position data obtained from the position detecting means independently and sequentially, but for a plurality of types of data necessary for a game preset in a game program obtained from an input means of a game player. Since all of the input data and the plurality of types of position data are aligned, these data are processed collectively, and the game result is output based on the processing result obtained by performing the collective processing. 9-262
07 is different from the present invention.

By applying the GPS to the fortune-telling as described above, accurate position data can be added as a parameter of the fortune-telling game, and a different result can be obtained each time the fortune-telling is performed. Can be improved.

The input item of step 1 is provided with an input item “range of time for divination”. This means that the time range is set to the operation button 5 such as 15:00 (position detection start time) to 15:30 (position detection end time).
8 is designated. By setting this time range, when the time of the time display circuit built in the game machine main body 55 becomes the position detection start time, the GPS
The unit 80 has a timer function of automatically receiving a GPS signal. From the position detection start time to the position detection end time, the GPS unit 80 continues to receive position data at intervals of, for example, 10 seconds. By adopting such a method, the trajectory of the game player who has moved for 30 minutes from 15:00 to 15:30 can be acquired as position data. As a result, it is possible to provide the game player with another interest taking into account not only the position fortune-telling result but also the movement trajectory.
This method is particularly suitable in the case where the present invention is applied to a moving vehicle such as a train or a ship or an airplane provided with a game machine body, and fortune-telling on a section from a train departure time to a train arrival time is performed. ing. In this case, instead of inputting the position detection start time and the position detection end time with the input means, the position detection start time (the departure time in the timetable or the time at which the train starts moving) and the position detection end time (the timetable A method in which the arrival time or the time when the train stops) may be automatically set. In this case, as an example, the trajectory between Station A (position detection start time) and Station B (position detection end time) on the train is acquired as position data, and the input items ( Passengers enter their name, date of birth, gender, blood type, etc.), and after arriving at station B, perform processing. For example, "Your fortune from station A to station B is as follows." Set the game so that the text and video are output simultaneously on the game screen. If this method is applied to the vehicle, especially for a passenger who rides for a long time, not only is it boring, but rather, it is possible to effectively use wasted time while riding. Also, due to the nature of application to moving vehicles, the position data also changes with time (movement of the vehicle), so it is particularly effective when used in a game in which position data affects the game result. It will be.

It should be noted that not only the position data but also the time and date using the clock display circuit provided in the game machine main unit 55, the date of birth, blood type, name, and gender using the memo storage circuit. Initial data may be stored in advance, and fortune-telling may be performed in consideration of the input data. In addition, the game machine body 5 of another game player
5. Communication between a plurality of portable game machines using a game program 1a of a fortune-telling game or a unique parameter built in the communication unit 41 in advance, and performing fortune-telling between game players using the result. By adding the element, the fortune-telling can be more interesting.

The GPS as the position detecting means can be used as a navigation system.

FIG. 6 shows a portable game machine provided with a GPS unit having a GPS reception function, and FIG. 7 shows a portable game machine using a cassette 54 provided with a GPS unit 80. Note that the same points as those described above are the same, and a description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 7, cassette 54 contains
A ROM is provided as a storage unit, and map information is stored in the ROM. Although this map information is not shown, the cassette 54 is inserted into a cassette insertion portion provided on the back of the game machine main body 55, and a power button 59
Is configured to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 by pressing.

The map information displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 scrolls the screen in the input direction of the operation button 58 while operating the operation button 58. For example, if the game player inputs upward, the map information scrolls upward according to the input, and if the game player inputs downward, the map information scrolls downward according to the input. Each time the game player presses the operation button 58, the map information displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 is sequentially enlarged and reduced. Of course, since this map information has a relatively large capacity, in order to avoid the use of redundant ROM and to save the capacity of the ROM, it is assumed that map information limited to an area (for example, limited to Osaka city) is written. May be implemented.

In the map information displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, the current position of the game player is also displayed. GPS to get the position data of this current position
Use The current position of the game player is obtained by obtaining position data (longitude data and latitude data) from GPS satellites using the GPS unit 80, and displaying the corresponding position on the liquid crystal display 56 based on the obtained position data on a map. It is combined with the information and displayed. The method of acquiring the position data is as described above.

When the position data is acquired by GPS and the game player inputs the address of the destination using the operation buttons 58, the shortest distance to the address (destination) input by the operation buttons 58 is obtained. A function of displaying the route of the route or the route most suitable for the conditions preliminarily input by the operation button 58 by the game player on the map information displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, that is, a function of navigating may be added. Alternatively, a setting may be made so that the game player guides the game player while emitting sound from the speaker 57.

An example of a game played using the above navigation system will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Here, an example of a youkai capture game in which youkai (ghost data) lurking in various places is captured and a game is performed using the captured youkai data will be described. In addition, it is assumed that this game is a game played while the game player himself actually walks while holding the game machine main body 55 or moves while riding on a vehicle. Of course, the data you capture does not have to be a monster.

First, when the game player presses the power button 59, the game machine main body 55 becomes usable and the game starts.

Next, a screen for prompting the game player to make an input is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56. The game player can use the operation buttons 58 based on the display contents.
The user makes various inputs (step A).

On the liquid crystal display 56, a message "Please input name" required for performing various inputs is displayed as a screen for prompting input. Although not shown, after the message is displayed, a list of the hiragana characters arranged in the order of the Japanese syllabary is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, and a cursor appears at the portion of "a". The game player performs an input operation while moving the cursor with the operation buttons 58 according to this message. Similarly, the game player is asked to enter the date of birth (year x month x day),
"Please enter your gender (male / female)", "Please enter your blood type (A / O / B / AB)", "Please enter your hometown (can be country or prefecture) Are displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 in the order of "", and the input operation of data corresponding to the game player is performed by the operation buttons 58 continuously for each message. This input item is stored in a memo storage circuit as storage means provided in the game machine main body 55.

When Step A is completed, the GPS unit 80 performs position detection and obtains position data (Step B).

The position detection method is as described above. When the position data is acquired, the message “Your current position is 135.123 degrees east longitude and 35.456 degrees north latitude
The altitude is 78.9 m above sea level. ", The current position of the game player may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 56.

In addition to the above-mentioned position data, a satellite information acquiring means for acquiring satellite information (for example, a radio wave acquisition rate from each satellite) by a GPS unit 80 having a function of transmitting a GPS signal is provided. Displaying the satellite information obtained by the means on the liquid crystal display 56,
The game player may select a satellite having a large radio wave acquisition rate with the operation buttons 58 while viewing the liquid crystal display 56 with the operation button 58, and obtain a position data using the selected satellite. good. If this method is adopted, the game player obtains position data while selecting a satellite having a high radio wave acquisition rate. For example, when randomly selecting a satellite to be used, a game player accidentally uses a satellite having a low radio wave acquisition rate. It is possible to prevent the acquisition of position data having a relatively large error. That is, since a satellite having a high radio wave acquisition rate can be selected by the game player's intention, it is possible to acquire more accurate position data as compared with the case where the satellite to be used is selected at random. .

The satellite information is always displayed on a part of the liquid crystal display 56, and the satellite information is updated one by one. When the satellite information is updated, the satellite having a high radio wave acquisition rate can be displayed when the game player likes. The operation button 58
It is even better if you set up an environment that can be selected with. This is due to the fact that the radio wave acquisition status of the satellite changes in real time,
This is because it is possible to play a game while acquiring position data in an optimal environment according to the radio wave acquisition status of the satellite.

When Step B is completed, a process for outputting the result of capturing a monster is performed using the input data created in Step A and the position data obtained in Step B. (Step C).

The processing is performed by the control unit. The control unit controls various items “name”, “birth date”, “sex”, “blood type”,
Each input data of "Hometown" and G of Step B
"Longitude data" and "Latitude data" obtained from PS signals
And "altitude data", that is, the respective position data, and collectively processes these plural types of input data and plural types of position data. Then, based on this batch processing, the youkai data captured from the game program of the game using the navigation system provided in the ROM inside the cassette 54 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56.
Perform processing to output to. “A plurality of types” means that there are a plurality of types of items. This process
When all of a plurality of types of input data and a plurality of types of position data necessary for a game set in advance in a game program are prepared, a process for outputting a result of capturing a youkai is collectively performed by the control unit. Collectively processing means that a plurality of types of predetermined data (in the embodiment of the present invention, "name", "birth year" as input data necessary for advancing the game set in advance by the game program). Date, gender, blood type, hometown, and location data such as longitude data, latitude data, and altitude data) for final output The control unit collectively performs the processing. In other words, this means that the control unit ultimately performs the processing collectively, and for example, there is no limitation on an intermediate processing step such as converting the position data into game information data necessary for the game (in other words, the intermediate processing step). That is, the present invention is not limited to performing a single process at a time, and finally processing the plurality of types of data to the control unit at one time.) For example, when a game player inputs “name”, “birth date”, “gender”, “blood type”,
After inputting the "hometown", intermediate processing is performed once (summary), then "longitude data", "latitude data", and "altitude data" as position data are obtained, and then intermediate This corresponds to the case where the control unit finally performs the processing collectively using the input data that has been subjected to the general processing. As a matter of course, an intermediate process may be performed each time the input data, the position data, and the altitude data are acquired, and a process for finally outputting the data by the control unit may be performed. Of course, the processing may be performed in consideration of data of the time display circuit and the memo storage circuit as data necessary for the game.
The cassette 54 has a game program for advancing a predetermined game (here, a game using a navigation system) and a game program (here, capturing a youkai,
In performing the game using the captured monsters, game data necessary to advance the game program is stored in a storage unit (not shown) provided inside the cassette 54.

Based on the processing contents of step C, the result of capturing the monster is output (step D).

The result of the capture of the monster is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56. When youkai can be captured, the captured youkai is displayed on the LCD 5
6, when the youkai could not be captured, nothing is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 (a character or image “Could not be captured” may be displayed).

Further, an image of a monster is displayed in advance on the map information displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, the user goes to the displayed location with the game machine main body 55 held, and the position is displayed by the GPS unit 80. You may be made to be able to capture a youkai by detecting.

When the output of the result is completed, it is confirmed with the game player whether or not to continue the game (step E).

On the liquid crystal display 56, "Do you want to continue the game (YES / NO)" is displayed. At this time, the cursor is positioned at “YES”. This cursor can select either YES or NO, and the game player
By operating 8, one of these options is selected and determined. If NO is selected here, the game ends and the power is automatically turned off.

If YES is selected in step E,
It is checked with the game player whether the input content has been changed (step F).

In the same manner as in step 5, the liquid crystal display 56 displays "Change input contents (YES / N
O) "is displayed. If YES is selected here, the process returns to step A, and the game player performs various inputs again. If NO is selected, the process returns to step B. Of course, if NO is selected, step A
Use the same input items.

As can be said for all the steps, it is more preferable that a sound corresponding to each step is emitted from the speaker 57 in synchronization with the display on the liquid crystal display 56.

As shown in FIG. 11, the GPS unit 80 may be used to detect a position, and then, after the position is detected, various inputs may be made using the operation buttons 58. The details of each step are as described above.

The youkai data captured by the GPS as the position detecting means is used for performing a battle game with another game player, or exchange of youkai data using communication means such as the communication unit 41. You can do.

More specifically, first, in a case where the captured youkai data is played with another game player in a fighting game (here, a fighting game is taken as an example), the captured youkai data is given a predetermined strength. Is set. And
In the cassette 54, a game program for playing a fighting game is pre-installed. When playing a fighting game, the game player operates the fighting game program using the operation buttons 58.

When the fighting game is started, a list of captured monster data (including the monster data if there are a plurality of monsters) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, and the game player looks at the liquid crystal display 56 and selects a desired one from among them. Is selected and determined by the operation button 58. Of course, the opponent of the fighting game performs the same operation.

The game machine on the opponent side is connected by communication means such as the communication unit 41 or a communication cable (not shown), and a fighting game is performed in this state.

Then, if the fighting game is performed and the win or loss is determined, the ghost data used by the loser in the fighting game is transmitted via the communication means and transferred to the game machine owned by the winner.

In the case of exchanging the respective youkai data using the communication means, an option of “youkai data exchange mode” is prepared in advance in the game program. The game player selects this option with the operation button 5
An image for exchanging youkai data when selected by 8 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56.

When an image for data exchange is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56, the game player selects the youkai data to be exchanged using the operation button 58.
The other party who exchanges the youkai data also finishes selecting the youkai data, and when the operation for exchanging is performed using the operation button 58, the selected youkai data on the own side is sent to the other party, and the other party's youkai data is sent to the other party. Side is transmitted via the communication means.

When capturing the monster data using the position detecting means, for example, the date of birth (which does not appear unless a specific date of birth) or blood type (if it is not a specific blood type) using a memo storage circuit is used. Specific input data such as not appearing, name (it does not appear unless it has a specific number of characters), gender (the youkai appears only for women) are stored in advance, and these specific input data The capture rate of youkai may be changed in consideration of the data. In addition, a specific area and time zone (time and date and time using the clock display circuit described above)
The capture rate of the youkai changes, and a specific place is stored in advance in the ROM in the cassette so that the specific yokai can be captured when the GPS as the position detecting means detects the position in the set place. You may do it. By adopting such a setting, for example, if a famous ghost spot is set as a specific place, the game player must obtain the scarce youkai data that can be captured only at that ghost spot, It is possible to provide a game environment that makes it easier to capture the heat of capturing a certain youkai.

In this youkai capture game, for example, when capturing a yokai while acquiring position data while walking while holding the game machine main body 55, the game player can actively enjoy capturing the youkai data with his / her intention. If you want to capture a monster while driving a long distance on a vehicle such as
It is possible to provide the game player with a unique fun that not only can capture the youkai by the destination of the drive but also can enjoy the capture of the youkai during the movement of the drive.

In the present invention, a treasure hunting game can be played using a navigation system.

In this game, a treasure (treasure data) is hidden within a predetermined range based on a game program stored in the ROM in the cassette 54 in advance, and the hidden treasure data is displayed by the game player on the liquid crystal display 56. The user searches while using the GPS as the position detecting means while looking at the map information. Naturally, the treasure data is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 until the treasure is found.

In principle, this is the same as capturing the monster data. Position data is acquired by GPS in a place where the treasure data is hidden, and if the position of the position data matches the position of the treasure data, the treasure is found. It will be done. The treasure is notified to the game player by displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 56 in the same manner as described above. At this time,
Using the clock display circuit, the liquid crystal display 56 may display a time indicating how long the game was started and the search was performed. Further, the time display may be treated as a ranking in which the treasures are arranged in the order in which they were found.

The treasure hunting game can be played by a plurality of game players using communication means. In this case, it is only necessary to compete for who can first find the treasure (that is, whether to match the treasure data with the position data. Hereinafter, this will be referred to as "discovery of treasure"). If one of the game players discovers a treasure, an image indicating the victory of finding the treasure is displayed on the liquid crystal display 56 of the discovered game player, and the other game players receive a message “Treasure has been discovered. "Was" defeated.

When playing the treasure hunting game, for example, 1
It is preferable to set such that the treasure data is hidden within a range of 00 m × 100 m and searched within this range. If the treasure hunting game is performed without such setting, for example, if the search range of treasure data is set to the whole of Japan, it is almost impossible for some game players to find the treasure, which is a great disadvantage. This is because there is a possibility that the interest in the game may be reduced because the game is played.

Next, a third embodiment will be described.

The game device according to the present embodiment includes external input detection means for detecting at least one of temperature, humidity, and pressure input from the outside.

This game device has the same functions and structures as those of the game device used in the first and second embodiments except that an external input detection means is used instead of the motion detection means 6 and the position detection means 41. Is almost the same as

As the external input detecting means 46, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor or a pressure sensor can be used.

By using these sensors, it is possible to measure the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and the like. For example, these measurement results are periodically stored by setting a timer and displayed when desired. It can be displayed on the screen or printed. It is also possible to measure body temperature, pulse, blood pressure or sweating state, and it is also possible to manage the health state by storing the measurement result by the above-mentioned timer setting. As an example of this application, it can be used as a lie detector by measuring changes in pulse and sweating,
If the user is a woman, it is possible to measure the body temperature periodically and predict the ovulation date.

When the external input detecting means is provided as described above,
In addition to playing a game, it can also be used as a device for health management or weather prediction when the user desires. It should be noted that the game can be advanced based on the measurement results of the above-described temperature, humidity, or atmospheric pressure. The external input detecting means may be provided so as to be exposed on the outer surface of the game device. However, when measuring an outside air condition such as temperature, humidity, or atmospheric pressure, a place away from a place where the user can easily hold it (for example, the game machine body B).
And the like, such as body temperature, pulse, and blood pressure, may be provided on both sides or both sides of the surface that are easy for the user to touch. Of course, game console body B
It may be provided separately from. Whether to use the input data by the external input detection means as a game or as health management data, the game program stored in the cassette and, if necessary, the measurement range of the input detection means may be optimally set, When used as a health management device, for example, when performing a normal game or when wanting to view health management data, the user may select the device by manually inputting input means or using a mechanical switch separately provided on the game machine body and performing a switching operation. .

In the present embodiment, a portable game machine is used as a game device. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a home game machine.

In the present invention, an arcade game machine or a personal computer game machine can be applied as the game device.
Also in these cases, the portable game machine and the home game machine used in the above embodiment have almost the same functions and configurations, although there is a slight difference in where each function is provided. Have.

As one of the above-mentioned health management devices for detecting moisture related to humidity, for example, a moisture meter for measuring the moisture content of human skin can be used.

Conventionally, as an apparatus for measuring the moisture and oil content of human skin, an oil / moisture measuring apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-206282 has been proposed. This device is of a portable size so that it can be easily carried, and an oil sampling cap can be detachably attached to a measurement probe provided with a moisture sensor at the tip. Thus, there is an effect that it is not necessary to provide a plurality of probes and the size of the apparatus is reduced.
The apparatus is provided with a display for displaying the measured water content and oil content. However, this device only displays the measurement results one by one in numerical form, and the user cannot see the change in the measurement results.
For example, it is not possible to check how much the skin care that has been done so far has been effective, and it is only possible to get oral advice from beauty staff, and only the numerical values of water content and oil content are displayed Because it is only a pleasure, it lacks the enjoyment of entertainment, and it is difficult to motivate the user to continuously measure. In particular, measurement and oral advice in department stores and other places where others are present are less preferred by women. In order to solve this, the inventor has found a portable device that can be used anywhere by the individual, can easily receive advice, incorporates play, is fun, and meets the needs of women.

That is, this portable device measures water and oil on human skin and displays a character corresponding to the measurement result on a display unit by executing a program according to an instruction of a control unit. The device is characterized in that the control unit stores a plurality of measurement results and displays a character corresponding to a change in the stored plurality of measurement results on the display unit. In addition, the inventor is the portable device, comprising: a cassette having a storage unit in which the program and the character are stored; and a device main body having the control unit, the cassette being removably mountable. We have also found a portable device characterized in that the cassette is detachably fitted with a measurement unit for measuring moisture and oil content on human skin.

Next, an embodiment of the portable device will be described.

Although the portable device described here is a game device using a moisture meter as a measuring unit for measuring moisture, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0130] The principle of this moisture meter is to pass a small amount of current between two conductive parts through human skin and measure the speed of the current that changes depending on the amount of moisture on human skin. .

FIG. 13 is a schematic perspective view showing a moisture meter.

This moisture measuring device has a main body 50 having a substantially cylindrical shape, and at both ends of a peripheral surface of the main body 50, projections 51 each having a surface as a conductive layer are formed. The projection 51 is a portion that comes into contact with the skin. The outer surface of the moisture meter has a non-conductive layer other than the protrusion 51. Also,
On the peripheral surface of the moisture measuring device, connection pins 52 for achieving electrical connection with a cassette described later are arranged in a row at a portion opposite to the protrusion 51. Connection pin 52
Is a cover 53 that is rotatable along the peripheral surface of the moisture meter.
Covered by A power supply composed of a small battery, a measurement control unit that calculates the speed at which the current is transmitted and converts the data into data, and a RAM as a temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the speed data are provided inside the moisture meter. ing. This RAM
Are configured so that data is held by a backup power supply.

As shown in FIG. 14, the connection pin 52 is inserted into the insertion port 54a of the cassette 54 in a state where the cover 53 is rotated to expose the connection pin 52, and is removably mounted as shown in FIG. Is done. The cassette 54 is provided with a ROM as a storage unit in which a game program as a program, image data of characters used in the game, and sound data are stored. The cassette 54 shown in FIG.
As shown in (5), with the moisture measuring device attached, it is detachably attached to the game machine body 55 as the device body. The game machine main body 55 includes a CPU as a control unit for instructing execution of the game program in the cassette 54,
Work RA in which the game program is executed by the instruction of
RAM as M, a liquid crystal display 56 as a display unit for displaying image data as an image, a speaker 57 for reproducing sound data as sound or voice, and a left and right side of the liquid crystal display 56 which can be operated by a game player. And an operation button 58 disposed on the In addition to the above, the game machine main body 55 includes a power supply composed of a dry battery and a circular button battery, a power button 59 for prompting activation of the power supply, and a connector for detachably mounting the cassette 54. And an adjusting unit 60 for adjusting the brightness of the image and the volume of the reproduced sound.

In the game device having such a configuration, various measurements can be performed using the moisture meter. FIG.
6 shows a specific example of the measurement result displayed on the liquid crystal display 56. For example, "wrinkle" or "bulkness"
For example, it is possible to display in five stages, and to blink the current skin condition at the corresponding stage. Further, the player inputs his / her own age, compares the standard skin moisture for each age stored in advance in the ROM in the cassette 54 with the skin moisture measured by the moisture meter, and calculates the percentage. It is also possible to display “skin moisture percentage” as to whether or not there is. further,
It is also possible to display how old the measured skin moisture content is, which is almost equal to the standard, as the skin age. If a simple comment "skin diagnosis" is stored in the ROM based on the measured skin moisture content and the player's actual age, the comment can be displayed based on the measurement result.
Note that the measurement result of this moisture meter is based on the main body 5
R backed up by the backup power supply in 0
It is possible to store in the AM sequentially, and if it is stored for a long period of time, such as one month, the moisture content of the skin in one month can be graphed and the change of the skin condition can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. It is possible to confirm the effect of skin care. Of course, it is possible to know how to perform future skin care by storing in advance advice on future care according to changes in skin condition.

Next, a training game to be performed using the measurement result of the moisture meter will be described using a specific example.

For example, the amount of skin moisture measured by a moisture meter is measured, and the liquid crystal display 5
6. A plant breeding game in which the top plant is rained and grown can be given as an example. The program content of this upbringing game is as follows when the measured skin moisture content is large.
(A) The rain mark is displayed and the rainfall is good, the plant grows quickly and quickly, and if the skin moisture is always high, the plant continues to grow and evolves to produce phantom flowers, but the measured skin moisture If the number is small, the amount of rain will decrease or a sunny mark as shown in FIG. 17 (b) will be displayed, the rain will not fall at all, and the plants will gradually lose energy and in the worst case will die, so the game player You will have to do skin care to keep the skin watery so that the plants do not die. The plants on the liquid crystal display 56 grow sequentially, such as buds, flowers, fruits, fruit numbers increase, phantom flowers bloom, flowers close, fruits rot, and pests emerge. The plants die as they go through stages such as decreasing the number of fruits and extermination. The skin moisture measurement may be performed at a preset timing or in response to a request from an alarm. In the breeding game, the data measured by the moisture meter is temporarily stored in a RAM as a temporary storage means, and then the cassette is mounted on the main body of the game machine in a state of being mounted on the cassette, and the power supply is activated to execute the game program. The process is performed according to a flow of causing the plant on the liquid crystal display to rain based on the data measured by operating the operation button.

In addition, pets such as dogs and cats are simultaneously displayed beside plants on the liquid crystal display, and behaviors according to time and season, that is, going to cherry-blossom viewing in spring as shown in FIG. In the winter, go to skiing, etc., according to the growth of the plant, for example, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to take an action of being dried out and to explain the current situation to the game player in an easy-to-understand manner. The behavior of these pets is also stored in the ROM of the cassette in advance. The game player as the user can grasp the condition of his or her own skin while watching the character that is raised and changes its appearance, so that it is possible to enjoy the measurement without difficulty and enjoy the continuous measurement.

As described above, according to the portable device of the present invention, a plurality of measurement results are stored in the storage unit in accordance with an instruction from the control unit, and a character corresponding to the stored plurality of measurement results is displayed on the display unit. It is possible to easily understand where and how skin care that has been performed has been effective, and the skin condition is displayed by the character, so it is always interesting. It is easy to motivate the game player as a player to continuously measure.

Since the moisture measuring device can be detached from the cassette, it can be carried at all times. For example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19B, it can be used as an accessory, such as being carried as a key holder 72, and can be put in a makeup pouch together with a lipstick as shown in FIG. Thereby, the structure of the cassette can be simplified and downsized.

It is to be noted that, as shown in FIG. 20, the moisture measuring device can be a device 73 provided integrally with the cassette. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the moisture meter can be used by being electrically attached to a communication adapter of the game machine main body 55, and used as a single unit 75 separate from the game machine main body and the cassette. Is also possible. In such a measurement unit that can be used alone, a transmission unit that transmits a measurement result to a user can be provided in the measurement unit itself. Examples of the transmitting means include a sound reproducing unit such as a speaker that reproduces sound including voice and music, a light-emitting body such as an LED that generates light to be turned on or blinking, and a liquid crystal display that displays an image including characters and characters. A display unit can be used. There are various transmission methods.If you use a sound reproduction unit, you can play comments such as "The skin is bulky" or "The skin is moist", or if you use a luminous body, there is a lot of skin moisture It is conceivable that the time interval between blinking becomes shorter as the skin light level decreases and the skin moisture content decreases.In addition, when using a liquid crystal display, as described above, characters such as those displayed on the liquid crystal display of the game machine main body or simple characters are used. For example, a text message may be displayed. By providing the transmitting means in this way, the measurement result can be quickly grasped without being attached to the cassette each time, which is very convenient.

It is also possible to grasp a simple measurement result at a time with a moisture meter, and to grasp further detailed measurement results and past measurement results with a game machine body as a portable device. In addition, when it is possible to perform a single measurement using a moisture meter, a power source such as a battery, a ROM or the like that stores data of a measurement result obtained only once or a plurality of times and a transmission content according to the measurement result, and the like are stored. The moisture measuring device itself may be provided with a CPU for instructing data transmission from the storage unit to the transmission means such as a speaker from the storage unit. Of course, the moisture meter can also be electrically connected to the game machine body by optical communication, radio wave communication, or the like. In this case, it is not necessary to attach the device to the game machine body after each measurement, and the handling is very convenient. In the above description, a moisture measuring device is used as a measuring unit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is also applicable to an oil content measuring device or a combined moisture and oil content measuring device.

Although the measuring unit is used as an input means of a game device, it can be applied purely as a measuring device, and can function as a game device or, for example, a moisture measuring device according to a program.

In the above embodiment, the moisture measuring device for measuring moisture is used as the measuring unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to use an oil measuring device for measuring oil on human skin. is there. As the oil content measuring device, one that irradiates human skin with light and measures the reflected light intensity to calculate the oil content is used.

Further, the game device detects at least one of temperature, humidity, pressure, pH (pH), potential difference, reflectance, absorbance, and luminance input from the outside, and detects the human skin. An external input detecting means having a function of converting moisture, oil, and other parameters indicating the state of the skin is provided. Therefore, various measurement units for measuring the condition of the skin will be described.

First, an oil sensor (pH sensor) for measuring the amount of sebum on human skin will be described.

For measuring the oil content of human skin, pH is measured using a glass electrode method. The glass electrode method is a method of measuring the pH of a specific solution (test liquid) by measuring a potential difference generated between two electrodes using a glass electrode and a reference electrode. That is.

Specifically, although not shown, when the pH of the solution inside and outside the glass thin film (electrode film) is different, an electromotive force proportional to the difference between the different pHs is generated in the electrode film portion. Usually, a liquid having a pH of 7 is used as the liquid inside the glass electrode. Then, by measuring the electromotive force generated in the electrode film portion, the pH of the test liquid (in this case, sweat of human skin) is measured.
Can be measured.

As a use form, the main body 50 shown in FIG.
A liquid of pH 7 is previously injected into the inside of the main body 5.
A glass electrode is provided in a liquid having a pH of 7 inside. On the other hand, the protrusion 51 is brought into contact with the skin of a person, and the test liquid (sweat) adhering to the skin is measured by a comparative electrode provided in the protrusion 51. Then, the potential difference is measured from the two electrodes, the glass electrode and the measured reference electrode.

By using such an oil sensor (pH sensor), the amount of sebum on the skin can be measured. Since moderate sebum has the property of preventing water evaporation from the stratum corneum and acting to weaken the activity of bacteria, it is highly desirable to increase opportunities to check the amount of sebum in the skin through games and the like. .

Second, a skin beam sensor for measuring the elasticity of human skin will be described.

As a sensor for measuring the elasticity of human skin,
An ultrasonic sensor necessary for measuring a mechanical quantity acting between objects (a human skin and a sensor) is included. The principle of this ultrasonic sensor is that, as described with reference to FIG. 13, the projection 51 is brought into contact with human skin to apply external stress, vibration displacement, and the like to a piezoelectric element (piezotite) inside the main body 50 and to output the piezoelectric element. In this case, a phenomenon in which an electric signal is generated (this phenomenon is called a direct piezoelectric effect or simply a piezoelectric effect) is used.

Specifically, first, this piezoelectric element is sandwiched between two electrodes. In this state, since no external stress is applied to the piezoelectric element, no output voltage is generated at the two electrodes. Next, by applying a compressive force to the internal pressure element from the outside to the electrode, the internal piezoelectric element is compressed. At this time, a "positive" voltage is generated on one side and a "negative" voltage is generated on the other side between the electrodes. Conversely, when the internal piezoelectric element applies an extension force to the electrodes, that is, to the outside, the two electrodes are pushed out to the piezoelectric elements. At this time, a “negative” voltage is generated at the electrode where the “positive” electrode is generated, and a “positive” voltage is generated at the electrode where the “negative” electrode is generated. In other words, the "positive / negative" voltage is reversed between the case of compression and the case of expansion. By substituting the external stress (compression force and extension force described above) with acoustic vibration energy, it can be used as an ultrasonic sensor.

That is, when an external stress or vibration displacement is applied to the piezoelectric element, distortion occurs. In response to this, polarization occurs in the electric charge in the piezoelectric element, and the voltage (electric signal)
Also occurs. This electric signal is converted into a form (for example, a numerical value or a meter) by which a game player can recognize the degree by a control unit in the game machine body which is electrically connected. The skin pressure is measured as one numerical value.

The piezoelectric element is typically a piezoceramic. However, the present invention is not limited to such a piezoelectric element. For example, quartz, crystal of Rochle salt, barium titanate, titanate Lead or the like can be used as the piezoelectric element. in this way,
By using the above-described piezoelectric element and measuring the pressure from the electric signal, the skin rebound (skin elasticity) can be measured.

Another method for measuring the elasticity of the skin will be described.

The basic principle of this method is a sensor composed of an ultrasonic vibrator, which utilizes a change in the natural frequency of the sensor unit.

Specifically, before the measurement of the elasticity of the skin, a vibration having an ultrasonic frequency f1 exists in the sensor. When the sensor is brought into contact with an object to be measured (human skin), the ultrasonic frequency f1 in the sensor is measured, and the ultrasonic frequency f1 is measured.
The vibration changes to an ultrasonic vibration frequency f2 different from. The ultrasonic frequency f1 and the ultrasonic frequency f2 are respectively measured, and the change amount (rate of change) Δf between these two ultrasonic frequencies is measured.
Is measured, the hardness and softness of the object to be measured (human skin), that is, the elasticity of the object to be measured (human skin) can be measured.

The use of such a skin beam sensor makes it possible to measure the elasticity of the skin.
Since the skin beam has the property of directly affecting beauty (especially women), it is very preferable to increase the chances of examining the skin beam through games and the like.

Third, a UV (ultraviolet ray shielding) sensor (SPF sensor) for measuring the protective effect of human skin (cosmetics) (how much the cosmetic can protect human skin from ultraviolet rays) Or UV protection rate sensor).

As a method for measuring the protective effect on human skin (cosmetics), there is a method for measuring how much ultraviolet light is reflected (reflectance). Specifically, an ultraviolet irradiator for irradiating ultraviolet light is provided, and ultraviolet light is emitted from the ultraviolet irradiator by detecting contact with an external object. Utilizing the irradiated ultraviolet rays, the amount of ultraviolet rays reflected on cosmetics applied to human skin is measured. That is, the reflectance of ultraviolet light can be represented by “reflectance = total of reflected light / total of irradiation light”.

As a use form, the main body 50 shown in FIG.
Is provided with an ultraviolet irradiator as an irradiating means for irradiating the inside with ultraviolet rays. By bringing the projection 51 provided on the main body 50 into contact with human skin,
Ultraviolet rays are emitted from the ultraviolet irradiator to the contact portion of the human skin through the protrusion 51. Then, the projection 51 absorbs and measures how much of the irradiated ultraviolet light is reflected. The measured reflectivity is converted into a form (for example, a numerical value or a meter) by which a game player can recognize the degree of the reflectivity by a control unit in the game machine main body which is electrically connected, so that, for example, human skin In the case of (1), the reflectance of ultraviolet rays (ultraviolet protection factor: SPF) for cosmetics applied to the skin is measured as one numerical value.

The types of ultraviolet rays are classified as follows. They have a wavelength in the ultraviolet region from 380 nm to 315 nm.
near ultraviolet (UV-A), which is ultraviolet in the range of nm, 31
Medium ultraviolet light (U) in the range of 5 nm to 280 nm
VB) and far ultraviolet (UV-C), which is ultraviolet in the range of 280 nm to 100 nm. UV-A
Has the property of breaking down the collagen that controls the elasticity of the skin by reaching the depths of the skin and acting directly on the fibrous cells of the dermis. UV-B is the cause of spots and freckles by penetrating into human cells. In severe cases, it has the effect of attacking the gene DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of skin cells. Note that UV-C does not come down on the ground because of its short wavelength. Switching means capable of responding to each type of ultraviolet light may be provided, and light (ultraviolet light) having a different wavelength according to the switching means may be irradiated.

By using such a UV sensor, the protective effect of the skin can be measured. It is very preferable to increase the chances of examining the protective effect of the skin through games and the like, because it has the nature of causing spots, freckles, skin cancer, and skin aging as described above when exposed to too much ultraviolet light.

Fourth, a dirt sensor for measuring the residual amount of cosmetics on human skin will be described.

The residual amount of cosmetics on human skin can be determined by a method of determining the absorbance of human skin. Specifically, two different lights are radiated on the human skin. One of the two lights is light having a wavelength of about 6.1 μm to 6.5 μm (this is light A), and the other is light having a wavelength of 10.2 μm (this is light B). . Light A is light having a wavelength that is relatively easily absorbed by human skin, and light B is light having a wavelength that is easily absorbed by a substance called silicon dioxide. Most cosmetics contain silicon dioxide. By utilizing this property, first, two different lights are treated as a set of lights. Next, a certain area is irradiated with a certain number of sets (for example, 100 sets). Then, it is only necessary to measure the number of sets of the remaining cosmetics with respect to the light A reflected and the light B absorbed. For example, 10
When a set of light is detected, the absorbance = 10/100 = 0.1 from "absorbance = number of light detection groups / number of light irradiation groups". Naturally, the larger the value, the larger the remaining amount of dirt (cosmetics / silicon dioxide).

As a reason for irradiating two different lights, human skin contains an impurity called sweat. When only light A is irradiated, sweat and cosmetics are reflected as the same residual amount (stain ≠ skin) because the skin is easily absorbed, and detection of this reflection prevents an erroneous output result from being obtained. is there.

As a use form, the main body 50 shown in FIG.
Are provided with a plurality of light irradiators as irradiation means for irradiating light A and light B inside. The projections 51 provided on the main body 50 are brought into contact with human skin, so that the plurality of light irradiators allow the projections 5 to contact the human skin.
Light 1 and light B are irradiated through 1. Then, as described above, the number of sets in which the cosmetics remain with respect to the set in which the light A is reflected and the light B is absorbed is determined by the protrusion 5.
1 measures. The method for obtaining the absorbance is also as described above.

By using such a dirt sensor, the remaining amount of cosmetics can be measured. Leaving makeup and dirt on the skin has the property that the metabolic rhythm of the human body breaks down and the skin becomes easily rough. That is.

Fifth, a skin dullness sensor for measuring the melanin status of human skin will be described.

[0170] Since the principle and the use form are almost the same as those of the UV sensor and the dirt sensor, only different objects will be described.

As a method for measuring human skin melanin (erythema / pigmentation), the amount of hemoglobin and the amount of melanin are measured. The irradiation light is 568 for measuring the amount of hemoglobin.
nm light, and 655 nm light is applied to measure the amount of melanin. Then, the residual amount (intensity) of the reflected light is measured by a photodetector.

By using such a dullness sensor for skin, the melanin status of the skin can be measured. The melanin pigment has a property that when the pigment is precipitated on the skin, the color of the skin becomes dark and becomes invisible as white skin. Therefore, it is very preferable to increase opportunities to examine the melanin state of the skin through a game or the like.

Sixth, a skin texture sensor for measuring skin texture will be described.

As a method of measuring the texture of the skin, there is a method of acquiring partial image information of the skin and processing the image information.

Specifically, first, a CCD as an image information acquisition means for acquiring partial image information of human skin
Use a small camera. This CCD small camera is shown in FIG.
As described in 3, it is provided inside the main body 50.
The projection 51 is provided as a contact surface for contacting human skin, and the contact surface between the CCD small camera and human skin is electrically connected inside. In other words, by contacting the projection 51 with human skin, partial image information of human skin is photographed (acquired) by a small CCD camera. Next, luminance information is obtained from the photographed image information. Here, the luminance information is a relatively bright (close to white) portion of the captured image information. Then, the content ratio between the image information and the luminance information is known. For details, "Content rate = luminance information / image information"
Can be obtained by The higher the value of this content, the wider the brighter (closer to white) portion occupies the whole area (the texture is well-aligned), and the smaller the value of the content, the lower the comparison The bright (close to white) part does not occupy much of the whole (coarse grain).

In this case, C is used as the image information acquisition means.
Although the present invention has been described by taking a compact CD camera as an example, the present invention is not limited to this compact CCD camera. For example, a small image scanner is built in the main body 50, and image information is obtained by reading the image of human skin. May be. in short,
Any means may be used as long as it is means for acquiring image information of human skin and measuring the texture of the skin based on the content of the luminance information contained in the image information.

By using such a skin texture sensor, the texture of the skin can be measured. It is highly desirable to increase the chances of examining skin texture through games, etc., because if the skin is well-grained, it will have a high degree of perfection and will have different makeup styles. .

The above-mentioned sensors are summarized in FIG. 22, so please refer to them. Further, the use form described with reference to FIG. 22 and the method of using the obtained measured values can be used, for example, in the same manner as in the training game described above.

In the present invention, the measuring unit includes:
Not only the skin texture described above, but also an image in which the surface of a human skin is photographed by photographing means such as a CCD small camera and the size of pores and the size of a section of the epidermis are measured on the surface of the skin. A method of calculating the amount of water or oil on the skin by analysis may be employed.

The result measured by the measuring unit may be displayed on a display unit such as a liquid crystal display or printed on paper using a printer. In this case, for example, it is electrically connected to the communication adapter of the game machine via a wiring cable or the like, and various graphs, characters, or tables corresponding to the data of the measurement results measured by the measurement unit are output from a printer or the like. It is possible to print by means.

The measurement data measured by the measuring instrument is stored in the storage means in a state of being accumulated or updated. Based on these accumulated data, the control means can also create statistical data (for example, graphs and tables).

The storage means in which the statistical data or the stored data is recorded can be provided in the portable game machine in a detachable manner. A game player
When the (user) confirms using the display screen, the results appear in statistical data (eg, graphs and tables).
Daily skin care is fun and encouraging. Further, if the statistical data is configured to be printed out, it is possible to obtain a different way of enjoying, for example, by attaching it to a diary.

[0183]

7, since it is possible to present the effects of temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet rays on the beauty of the place measured by the sensor with a cute character as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29,
The user can receive advice on beauty while having fun.
