In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements in the drawings and redundant explanations for the same constituent elements are omitted.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a shooting game apparatus using a drone according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an internal configuration diagram of the game server shown in FIG.

The shooting game apparatus using the drone according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a projector 10, a screen 20, a coordinate recognition unit 30, a drones 40, a flight combat space unit 50, an operation unit 60, And a game server (70).

The projector 10 outputs a beam for visually outputting a game image for performing a shooting game using the drones 40.

The screen 20 is disposed in front of the player and visually displays a game image by the beam outputted from the projector 10. [

Here, the projector 10 and the screen 20 may be game video display means. In the embodiment of the present invention, the projector 10 and the screen 20 are applied to the game video display means, but any display means capable of visual display can be used. That is, a PDP / LCD display language, a large CRT using a reflector, or the like may be used, and the present invention is not limited to a specific display means. However, it would be preferable to use a displayer that is capable of generating a spot light by forming an image of a pointing laser, which will be described later.

The coordinate recognizing unit 30 can generate an image for coordinate recognition by photographing spot light by a laser having a specific frequency on a screen 20 on which a game image is displayed. At this time, as the laser, a laser having a visible frequency at which spot light generated by blocking the progress of light by the screen 20 is visible to the naked eye of a game player may be applied, and a laser beam having a wavelength of 600 to 1100 nm A laser may be applied. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to use an invisible laser as a pointing laser in order to give the same feeling as the actual one.

For example, the coordinate recognizing unit 30 removes the game image by the projector 10 formed on the screen 20 by performing image processing or incident light filtering in accordance with the applied laser frequency, Only the spot light can be photographed. As described above, an image in which only a spot light is captured without including a game image can be regarded as a coordinate recognition image.

In addition, the coordinate recognizing unit 30 should match the pointing positions of the captured coordinate image for shooting and the shooting image for the shooting game using the drones 40. For this purpose, the coordinate recognizing unit 30 may photograph a specific reference point for setting a predetermined position of the screen 20 as a reference position. To this end, a reference point display means (not shown) for discharging a laser or the like serving as a reference point toward the coordinate recognition unit 30 may be further provided on one side of the screen 20. Alternatively, before proceeding with the shooting game using the drone, the coordinate recognizing unit 30 is adjusted and fixed to the reference position with respect to the game image displayed on the screen 20, So that the pointing positions can be matched.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the coordinate recognition unit 30 continuously photographs the screen 20 on which the game image is being displayed while the shooting game using the drones 40 is performed, so that the coordinate recognition image is successively outputted.

The coordinate recognition unit 30 described above may include a camera.

The drone 40 is designed to be driven in accordance with the flight combat method within the set flight combat space 50. [ For example, the drones 40 include an IR transmission / reception unit installed in the body part and the body part and transmitting and receiving an IR signal, a shock sensor installed in the body part and sensing an external impact, And a control unit for controlling the operation of the IR transceiver unit according to the control signal. Accordingly, the drones 40 can emit visible or non-visible lasers toward the target in the game image on the screen 20. Then, the drones 40 can sense an external impact (for example, a shock due to the visible-frequency laser from the target in the game image) and provide the operation unit 60 with a signal corresponding thereto.

Also, the drones 40 may be equipped with an ultra-small CCD camera (not shown) to output the first-person view of the battle combat image to the game server 70.

Here, the drones 40 may be various types of multi-copter flying robots. If you are in the same industry, I think you can understand the multi-copter type flying robot with well-known technology.

The flight combat space 50 is a space in which the drone 40 performs flight combat, and may be produced as a tetragonal, hexahedral, cylindrical, spherical, or geometric space in the form of a mesh so that an external game player can view the flight combat process .

The operation unit 60 functions to control the driving of the drones 40 in the flight combat space unit 50 by wire. More specifically, the operating portion 60 may be an electronic device having a joystick or joypad connected to the drones 40 by wire.

The operation unit 60 is equipped with a vibration motor (not shown) inside, so that the vibration and the external shock corresponding to the shooting at the shooting of the target of the game image (for example, Shock) can be generated. As a result, the player can feel a more realistic sense of reality. That is, the operation unit 60 uses a normal 2.4 GHz product, and a vibration motor is mounted inside the operation unit 60 to synchronize the game with the game signal to increase the immersion level.

On the other hand, if necessary, the operating unit 60 and the drone 40 can be interconnected by radio. Accordingly, the operating unit 60 can send a wireless command signal to the drones 40. [ As a result, the drones 40 are designed to be able to use both wired and wireless at the same time, so that the power required for the flight is directly received. For example, an invisible laser mounted on the drones 40 receives power transmitted from wired and wireless. In other words, the power of the drones 40 can be used simultaneously in a wireless manner through a battery and a wired SMPS.

The game server 70 can display the game image by the projector 10 and the screen 20. [

The game server 70 continuously receives the coordinate recognition image from the coordinate recognition unit 30 and detects the coordinates of the spot light by the laser in the coordinate recognition image at the moment when the shooting signal is input from the operation unit 60, A game image reflecting the shooting position can be generated and output to the projector 10 and the screen 20 by reflecting the shooting position on the screen 20 based on the coordinates of the shooting position in the progress of the shooting game.

On the other hand, the game server 70 can cause the current position of the drones 40 operated by the operating unit 60 to be displayed on the screen 20 at the start of the game, The visible frequency laser can be displayed on the screen. Accordingly, the game player can manipulate the operation portion 60 to adjust the flight of the drones 40 so that the visible-frequency laser emitted from the target does not touch the drones 40. [

The game server 70 may be connected to the operation unit 60 by wire or wirelessly. In the embodiment of the present invention, the game server 70 and the operation unit 60 are connected to each other by a wire. In order to prevent theft, the wired connection is made, but it may be connected wirelessly if necessary.

2, the game server 70 includes a shooting signal receiving unit 71, a shooting position recognizing unit 72, a game proceeding unit 73, a video output unit 74, and a haptic unit 75 .

The shooting signal receiving unit 71 receives the shooting signal transmitted from the operating unit 60 in a wired or wireless manner and informs the shooting position recognizing unit 72 of the reception of the shooting signal.

The shooting position recognition unit 72 receives a coordinate recognition image shot by the coordinate recognition unit 30 and outputting the captured image. When the shooting signal receiving unit 71 receives the shooting signal, the shooting position recognizing unit 72 calculates the coordinates of the spot light captured in the received coordinate recognizing image, And generates shot position information indicating a shot position. The shooting position recognition unit 72 provides the generated shooting position information to the game progress unit 73. [

The game progress unit 73 includes software for driving the shooting game that proceeds from the shooting game apparatus using the drones 40 and generates a game image for visually showing the progress of the game and provides the game image to the video output unit 74 do.

In addition, the game progress unit 73 receives shooting position information from the shooting position recognizing unit 72, reflects the shooting position to the game, and generates a corresponding sound or image. At this time, the generated sound is output through a separate sound output means (not shown), and the generated image is provided to the video output unit 74 as a game image.

The video output unit 74 outputs the game image provided by the game progress unit 73 to the projector 10 or the like so that the game image can be visually displayed on the screen 20. [

The haptic unit 75 may generate a haptic signal corresponding to the hitting signal received by the shooting signal receiving unit 71 and provide the generated haptic signal to the operation unit 60.

In addition, the haptic portion 75 may generate a haptic signal (i.e., vibration, etc.) corresponding to an external impact (for example, a shock caused by a visible frequency laser from a target in the game image) .

Now, the operation of the shooting game apparatus using the drone according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. 3 is a diagram for explaining an operation of a shooting game apparatus using a drone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the game server 70 displays a predetermined game image by the projector 10 and the screen 20 as a user (game player) operates the operation unit 60 to select a game start.

3) of the game image displayed on the screen 20 by adjusting the drones 40 by the operating unit 60. The laser or visible laser of the visible frequency Lt; / RTI > Further, the drones 40 are adjusted so as to avoid the visible frequency laser emitted from the target of the game image. At this time, it is assumed that the drone 40 is flying only in the flight combat space 50.

In this manner, the game server 70 allows the game image displayed on the screen 20 to change in real time.

Until the game is over, the user (the player) fires a laser of a visible frequency or a non-visible laser for a target in the game image that changes in real time, 40).

On the other hand, an electronic tank other than the above-described drones may be employed. That is, instead of performing the shooting game using the drones, the shooting game can be performed using the tank tank.

On the other hand, although not shown, the device can be connected online regardless of the location, so that multiple users can simultaneously enjoy the game. Of course, in this case, a manager server (not shown) is connected through a wired / wireless communication network so that a plurality of users at a remote location can be connected to a game terminal or a game terminal (not limited thereto) Then, in a specific space (not shown) presented by the administrator server, a plurality of users can simultaneously enjoy the game, and the game result ranking can also be displayed.

In addition, a fog box (smoke generating canister) is connected to the side of the game machine, that is, the flight combat space 50, so that the effect of the 5D game is appropriately discharged according to the game genre and scene It can be done.
