[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an electronic golf game device.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, electronic golf game devices have been known in which a golf ball is swung up with a club and the player competes for the number of strokes until the ball hits the cup. However, this type of golf club has a drawback in that the movements involved in swinging the club up to take a shot are simple and can easily become boring.

The present invention was made against the background of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an electronic golf game device that is capable of playing a game that resembles an actual golf competition.

Hereinafter, this invention will be explained in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. This embodiment is applied to an electronic wristwatch with a golf game function. Here, the specifications of the golf game function of this embodiment will be briefly explained. The above-mentioned golf game function enables a game substantially similar to an actual golf competition in which players compete to hit a golf ball with a raised club and compete for the best number of strokes until it hits the cup.

The course is a 9 hole, par 36 course, and the bunker position changes for each hole.

Further, as the game progresses, the hole number, first hole score, and total score are displayed, and the best score (minimum number of strays) is displayed at the beginning of the game. In addition, by operating a switch, it is possible to select the club to be used, select the target direction in which to hit the ball, and change the traveling direction and flight distance of the ball depending on the timing of the shot and the type of club. Furthermore, it is possible to display the remaining distance from the current position of the ball to the cup, and to display a so-called sweep display in which the ball is sequentially moved and displayed. In addition to the golf game function, it also has a golf counter function, which allows it to count and display hole numbers and hole scores during actual golf competitions. In addition, it has an alarm function, a watch function, etc., and each function can be switched.

FIG. 4 shows the main storage contents of the RAM 16 corresponding to each address area. Here, FIG. 4 (4) is
Tables used in the basic clock mode, stopwatch mode, and alarm mode, Figure 4 (■) 1 shows the table mainly used in the golf mode.

Next, the operation of the electronic timepiece constructed as described above will be explained. FIG. 5 is a free chart showing the overall basic operation, which is executed every 1/16 seconds.

That is, since the address section 13 is interleaved with the 16Hz signal outputted from the frequency dividing circuit 12, #I
71ff- shown in Fig. 5 is started every 1/16 cedar.

First, in step S, initialization processing is executed, and then, in step S! ~Proceed to Ss. Subsequently, steps S to S8 are sequentially executed, and after normal stopwatch processing, time counting processing, and 1 alarm processing are performed, step S is performed.

Proceed to. Here, we read the contents of address All of RAM 16 and check whether it is stored in address 9 or not.
If it is not the game mode, the process proceeds to Stella 2S1°, which performs animation display processing, and if it is the game mode, it proceeds to step Stt, which performs game processing. here,
The animation display process is a process that causes the game display section 4 to automatically play the golf game. Further, step 8.1 is shown in FIG. 6, #!, which will be described later. This is a step of deepening the game processing according to FIG. Step S1 is then executed! - 816 are display processes corresponding to the setting mode, including time display processing, stopwatch display processing, alarm display processing, game display processing, 8
What display processing to perform.

Next, the game processing of the step ship will be described in detail according to FIGS. 1 and 6. First, in step S11, the RAM 16
It is checked whether the contents of the address AI (hereinafter simply referred to as All and other addresses as well) are rOJ, that is, whether the golf mode in which the game is played is set to the initial state. At the beginning of the game, it is "0", so the next step etc.

Go to 1 to display the contents of 1 golf course 1'-9HP36J. The display state in this case is as shown in FIG. 8a, indicating a course with 9 holes and a total bar of 36 strokes. Therefore, in order to continue this display for 1 second, the next step 811 *BH3
is executed. That is, one step 88. checks whether the content of A14 is "16" 1 If it is not "16", then
At step 814, the increment process of incrementing the contents of ^ and 4 by 1 is executed, and the steps 8 to 8 according to the signal of 1saz are executed until the contents of A14 become "16".
sea is executed repeatedly. As a result, the content of A-2 becomes "16" after 1 second has elapsed, and therefore the display line continues for 1 second.Thus, when 1 second has elapsed, 8. Go to cram school and read the contents of A14, and read A1.
The content of is incremented by +1 to proceed to the next golf mode.

Therefore, the content of %A11 becomes "1", and the next Golf-L
When the process advances to '-' mode, the process proceeds from step SO in which the golf mode rlJ is determined to step 8□. Here S Al
In order to display the contents of lI4*, the process of reading them is time consuming. As a result, in order to continue displaying the th core for 1 second, the process proceeds to step sea-sz4 described above. When this display ends, the process advances to step S□, and processing for advancing to the next golf mode is executed.

Subsequently, when the content of A□ becomes "2" and the process advances to the next golf mode, step S determines the golf mode "2". The process then proceeds to step S0. Here, A1? (In order to display the hole number and the number of par on that hole, a process is performed to read them. As a result, as shown in Figure 8C, the hole number is initially "Hl" and the number of par is "P4". " is digitally displayed. Then, step sts e 814 described above is executed, and as a result, as each hole is advanced, the hole number and par number are displayed for the first second. Thereafter, step S□ By executing
Proceed to the next golf mode.

In this way, when the golf game mode is set, the number of holes on the course, the tonital par, the best 1: core, the hole number "1" and its par number are automatically sequentially displayed.

When the display of the hole number and its par number is completed, step S determines the golf mode "3". The process then proceeds to step 881, where the contents of 'IAII are read out.

As a result, the target direction of the batted ball according to the contents of "1AsI" is displayed moving (sweep display) on the course display section 6 by sequentially lighting up the ball display 6 & from the current position of the ball. indicates this display state, and the black ball display moves sequentially from the current position in the direction of the arrow.In this case, before the tee shot, the target direction of the ball is as shown in Figure 8d. , is automatically set to the green direction.This target direction can be set to a desired direction by executing the next step Sm!@sss. That is, step S3
．． It is determined whether the switch S is turned on or not, and the switch S is turned on.
Then, in step 831, the contents of All are incremented by +1. Therefore, in this golf mode, each time the switch S is pressed, the sweep display in one target direction sequentially shifts clockwise, as shown in FIG. 8, for example. Therefore, when selecting the target direction according to the position of the green, when the sweep display of the target direction shifts to the desired direction, switch S
If you stop operating , it will be set to that position. In this case, in this embodiment, any one of eight directions can be set at maximum. As mentioned above, since the target is automatically set in the direction of the green, it is not necessary to operate the above-mentioned switch.The sweep display accompanying the setting of the target direction is
It will end if you operate. That is, the operating state of this switch S4 is detected by executing step S84,
When the switch S4 is turned on, the process advances to the next step ssi, and A1. A process for incrementing the contents by +1 and proceeding to the next golf mode is executed.

During the game, the digital display 2 usually shows the remaining distance 11 (350) from the current position of the ball to the pin, as well as the golf course at that hole, as shown in FIG. 8, 4e. The number (number of strokes) (00) is displayed.

When the switch S4 is turned on, the process proceeds to step Ss in FIG. Now, in step 811, the process for advancing to golf mode "4" has been executed, so from step $□ to step 8 for determining golf mode "4"
Proceed to □. Here, we will read the contents of All and
Increment processing is performed to increment the contents of te by 1. In this case, At. functions as a hexadecimal counter that causes the ball display 5C of the golfer display section 5 to blink.

The ball display body 5C is At. I depending on the content of
Flashes at Hz. That is, when the switch S4 is turned on once after the sweep display in the target direction is completed, the ball on the golfer display section 5 starts blinking as shown in the eighth time. In this case, as shown in the figure, the ball on the course display section 6 is stationary and lit at the current position (initially, the position N closest to one golf course). Next, step ssa
-8,. Now, each time the switch S4 is turned on, a process is executed to sequentially light up the club display body 5b of the golfer display section 5 and execute a backswing motion of swinging the club up. That is, in step sag,
It is checked whether the switch S4 is turned on, and if it is turned on, the next step S. Proceed to A2. Add 1 to the content of In this case, Ala functions as an octal club counter, and each time switch S4 is pressed, 8 types of clubs (sand wedge 1 pitching, 9 iron, ... 3 11th wood for iron)
are selected in sequence. Then, the golfer display section 5
Of the club indicators 5b, the eight types of club indicators within the range of the club indicator at the highest swing position from the club indicator approaching the ball are sand wedges... Each club corresponds to the eight types of No. 1 wood, and each time the content of A1 a is increased by 1, the club indicator 51 corresponding to each club lights up in sequence, allowing the club to be used to be selected. It becomes. That is, each time the switch S4 is operated, the club is swung up one step at a time, a backswing is performed, and the club is selected. In this case, in this embodiment, in order to clearly indicate the selected club, the club name, SW (sand wedge), and wi (1st wood) are displayed as shown in Fig. 8f...g. ing.

Following such backswing and club selection, step S1. is executed, it is checked whether the switch S is turned on, and if it is turned on, a process for proceeding to the next golf mode is executed in the next step 841.

Then, when switch S is turned on, 1 golf mode is activated.
5", the process proceeds from step 841 to step 84m. Here, processing is executed to subtract the contents of Ala by 1, and as a result, the club that was swung up during the backswing is swung down by one step. Then, in the next step 844, it is checked whether the content of Ala is "0", that is, whether the club has been swung down to the position where it will hit the ball. In this case, the club is automatically swung down from the raised position at a speed of about 8 steps/second, and when the ball is impacted, the ball on the golfer display section 5 goes out. Then, after the impact,
Proceeding to step 841+, the content of Alb is +1 and the number of strokes is incremented. Next, the process proceeds to step 846, where the banker flag of Alc is read and its contents are "1".
”, that is, whether the ball has entered the bunker, and if it has entered the bunker, proceed to the next step 8.
Check to see if it's time to get out of the banca with 4 guns. In this case, when the ball enters the bunker, the bunker indicator 6
d starts blinking at the frequency of the run, and if you impact the ball at the timing when the bunker lights up, you will not be able to get out of the bunker, but you will be able to get out of the bunker when the light goes out. Therefore, step 84? detects this timing. Also, the ball does not enter the bunker,
Alternatively, if the player is taken out of the bunker, the process proceeds to step Lm. Here, the flight distance is calculated by reading the contents of AI. This calculation is performed according to the table below. ◇The table below shows the ball flashing counter and club counter, i.e. A
1. It shows the relationship between the contents of 4a and 4a and flight distance.

Table 1 shows flight distances for items other than bats, and Table 2 shows flight distances for bats.

Table 1 Table 2 In this case, for example, in Table 1, the content of the ball flashing counter is "8" and the content of the club counter is "7" (
In the case of a club (sand wedge), the ball travels in a straight line and the flight distance is 1.
”. Note that flight distance is shown in units of 25 m. Also, for example, the content of the ball flashing counter is "4" to "7".
In this case, the flight distance is the same as just meet, and the last two frames are 7 points. That is, it moves straight in a preset target direction, but at the end it changes to the direction of hooking.That is, if the timing of the shot is earlier than the just-meat timing, it will shoot seven shots, and if it is later than the timing of the shot, it will slice.

In this way, the flying distance changes in accordance with the timing at which the ball display body 5C blinks. In this case, while the contents of the ball flashing counter change from "0" to "F" per second, the ball surface body 5C turns off and lights up once for 11 1/2 seconds. In other words, since the ball indicator 5C is blinking at IF5, if the timing of just meet is included when the ball indicator 5C lights up, the ball is shot in time with the lighting in order to obtain a flight distance. Furthermore, the time it takes to make a shot differs depending on the position at which the club is swung up, making it difficult to determine the timing to hit just right accordingly. Therefore, the flight distance is adjusted depending on the swinging position of the club, that is, the type of club.

Once the flight distance calculation is completed, the next step S4-
, and processing for proceeding to the next golf mode is executed. This leads to step S. will proceed.

Steps S, . . . execute the process of swinging up the club after impact and finishing (resting) it to the position corresponding to the backswing. ◎Next, proceed to step S, . Executes ball movement processing. That is, after the impact, the ball on the course display section 6 is moved approximately 2 strokes 1,'.

Proceed on the course at a speed of 1 f/sec. in this case,
As the ball advances, the coordinates of the position are converted according to the contents of A211, and A. a 12@ * A□
Calculate the remaining distance from the current position to the bin according to the contents of In this process, the number of at-bats is increased by 1 as a penalty stroke. The 8th diagram is the above steps all @S
It shows the display state when It is executed. In this case, the remaining distance display, for example 150 m, and the number of strokes, for example 01, are digitally displayed.

Next, step S. Proceed to A. *A! l,A
Check whether the content of lt is "0". That is, it is checked whether the cup has been cupped in, and if the cup has been cupped in, the cup-in process is executed in the next step SB4. Here, as shown in FIG. 81, the bottle and cup display 6C is blinked, and the 4° hole number (
11) Digitally displays the number of strikes (03) and total score (03) on the hole. Next, check whether it is a cup-in for 9 holes or not, and if it is a cup-in for 9 holes, the total score is set as the pest score.
b%, rewrite the pest score. If it is not 9 holes, step 81 is passed through step srs described above.
Return to step 11 and repeat the same operation.

Although the above embodiment shows the case where it is incorporated into an electronic wristwatch, it may also be incorporated into an electronic game itself.As explained in detail, the electronic golf game device according to the present invention The swing-up angle of the backswing is displayed sequentially, and each time this swing-up angle increases,
Since the club names are displayed sequentially, for example, by increasing the swing-up angle by operating a switch, the user can select the swing-up height and club type according to his/her preference, making the game similar to an actual golf competition. becomes possible.
