By the way, the classification of type of last table is an example.Can consider other classification of type.That is, might correctly determine the type of input stimulus according at least one stimulates in feed supply, light stimulus and the sonic stimulation.
Response data storage unit 32 is used for the storage reaction pattern list, action submeter, program or the like.Though will describe in detail in the back, in the reaction pattern table of each stage of growth of the health 2 of relevant swing, input stimulus etc., describe a plurality of reaction patterns.Each reaction pattern comprises the motion and the acoustic pattern of the health 2 of swing.And, the motion of the health 2 of each reaction pattern regulation swing and the order of acoustic pattern.In addition, the sound action divides in action and is described in the submeter.The sound action divides respectively corresponding to acoustic pattern.
Growth condition storage unit 33 is used for storing the present stage of growth of the health 2 of swing.The stage of growth is divided into four-stage, the growth degree of the health 2 of each stage representative swing.The reaction of making according to input stimulus changes according to the stage of growth respectively.And the trend of the reaction of the health 2 of swing changes according to the stage of growth respectively.
With reference to the reaction pattern table, reaction selected cell 34 is selected a reaction pattern according to input stimulus, the present stage of growth and the random number that suitably produces.Reaction selected cell 34 is controlled motor 26 and 27 according to the reaction pattern of selecting, and loudspeaker 28 or the like is so that carry out the voice output of the health of swinging 2 and at least one item in the motion.The action of the health 2 of reaction selected cell 34 feasible swings is to carry out reaction according to input stimulus.
Mark counting unit 35 countings are according to the action branch of the reaction generation of the health 2 of swing, so that obtain representing action to divide total numerical value UPT of sum.Dividing SX and VX in action is under the situation about producing according to reaction, and counting unit 35 divides action the summation of SX and VX to add on till now total numerical value, so that upgrade total numerical value UPT.The health 2 of total numerical value UPT representative swing and the degree of the interchange between the user.The stage of growth is to determine according to total numerical value UPT.When connecting power supply, total numerical value UPT is reset to zero (initial value).
In the above description, two kinds of action branches are provided with individually according to a kind of output.That is, action divides SX to be set to motion action branch according to the motion of the health 2 of swing.Action divides VX to be set to sound or speech action branch according to voice output.Mark counting unit 35 can be counted any action and divide.In other words, mark counting unit 35 can be divided so that the counting target is any action.
The motion action divides SX to relate to the amount of exercise of the health 2 of swing.The amount of exercise of the health 2 of swing is as being obtained to the summation of the position probing number of 24d detection by four position sensor 24a respectively.Summation representative motion action divides SX.Therefore, when the summation of position probing number becomes when very big, produce big motion action and divide SX (in other words, when the amount of exercise of the health 2 of swing increases).Because action divides SX usually to represent positive number, so total numerical value UPT increases when the health 2 of swing moves around.
In addition, the sound action divides the rule that VX may submit to be provided on the action submeter shown in Figure 5.24 kinds of acoustic pattern V (00) have been provided in action on the submeter to V (24).The sound action divides VX to be set to each acoustic pattern.Arrive among the V (07) at acoustic pattern V (00), the negative emotion of the health 2 of each representative swing (for example, indignation or surprised), the sound action of bearing divides VX to be set to each acoustic pattern V (00) to V (07).Except the acoustic pattern V (08) of acoustic pattern V (00) to the V (07) in V (24) (for example, glad or satisfied), have zero or on the occasion of the sound action divide VX to be set to each acoustic pattern V (08) to V (24).Divide under the situation of VX producing negative sound action, negative sound action divides exchanging between the health 2 that VX increases user and swing.As a result, because total numerical value UPT that action divides reduces, the growth of the health 2 of swing may be delayed.
The principal character that the present invention has, wherein action branch SX and VX are produced according to the reaction (output) of the health 2 of swing, and wherein the stage of growth of the health 2 of swing is determined according to total numerical value UPT that action divides.Above-mentioned explanation is different from the prior art of the stimulation (input) that counting wherein provided greatly.So, in the scope of above-mentioned content, except above-mentioned action divides account form, can use another kind of suitable mode.More specifically, Fu Jia microphone is placed in the housing parts 5.Time interval of in fact being produced of sound (output) is counted therebetween.The sound action divides VX to be produced, and it is related to the duration (output duration) of counting.In addition, in CD-ROM drive motor 26, monitor driving amount or driving duration.Can produce the motion action that has based on the mark that monitors the result and divide VX.
Growth condition upgrades 36 predetermined judgment value of judging unit and compares with total numerical value UPT (present numerical value) that action divides, so that the judgement of the renewal of the stage of growth of the health 2 of the relevant swing of implementation.Under the situation about being updated in the stage of growth, the stage of growth of renewal is stored in growth condition storage unit 33.Fig. 6 is presented at the reaction tendency of the health of swinging in each stage of growth 2.When the growth stage was shifted, exquisiteness (health 2 of swing has been grown up) was grown in the action of the health 2 of swing.More specifically, because the health of swing resists the user in the phase I (STEP1), the health 2 of swing has the trend nervous and reaction of fearing of representing.Though the health 2 of swing has been removed antagonism in second stage (STEP2), because the health 2 of swing does not become tamingly, the health 2 of swing is according to above-mentioned conditioned response.At phase III (STEP3), the health 2 of swing becomes for the user tames the calling party.At quadravalence section (STEP4), the health 4 of swing loosens in the heart fully, is very glad and fawns on the user.Consider the reaction tendency of each stage of growth, Fig. 6 shows each feature about each reaction pattern of each input stimulus.
Fig. 7 shows the example that must carry out total numerical value UPT stage of growth displacement, that action divides.When being displaced to second stage, must divide according to action to make total numerical value UPT reach the normal numerical value 100 under stage rising condition from the phase I.When second stage is displaced to the phase III, must divide according to action make total numerical value UPT reach the normal numerical value 300 under stage rising condition.When being displaced to the quadravalence section, must divide according to action to make total numerical value UPT reach the normal numerical value 600 under stage rising condition from the phase III.Divide VX to produce so that total numerical value UPT is reduced under the situation that is lower than regime values in negative sound action, the present stage can drop to the lower stage.That is, go out present stage decline.
Then, explanation is provided under the situation of feed to the health 2 of swing the reaction of the health of when first stage of growth, swinging 2 the user.Fig. 8 is the flow chart that is used for the generation of total description reaction.
At first, for the step 1 that stimulates identification (with reference to the type of the input stimulus of table described above),, stimulation is categorized as a kind of stimulation in seven types the stimulation at title according to the sensor signal that provides from boost sensor 21 to 23.Under the situation of user's push switch 23 " supply feed ", (stimulus type 1) is identified as the stimulation of input.
In the step of following 2, carry out reaction control.With reference to the reaction pattern table that is stored in the response data storage unit 32, the stage of growth, the stimulation of input and the random number that suitably produces that reference is present select a reaction pattern as present reaction pattern.Because random number is used for the reaction pattern selected, a series of variations might be given the reaction of selecting according to same stimulation.Reaction selected cell 34 is controlled CD-ROM drive motor 26 according to the explanation of the reaction pattern of selecting, and track is provided with motor 27, loudspeaker 28 or the like.
For example, the health 2 of swing is according to the reaction pattern action, and its expression " provides under the situation of feed to the health 2 of swing in first stage of growth, though feed (with reference to Fig. 5) is not eaten in reaction ".Fig. 9 is the flow chart that is used to describe above-mentioned reaction pattern.In step 11, acoustic pattern V (22), just, from the feeding sound (with reference to Fig. 5) of loudspeaker 28 generations.The health 2 of swing at full speed moves on to sensing station shown in Figure 2.Then, judge in step 12: whether the health 2 of swing is hungry.This is whether amount of exercise according to the health 2 of swing is less than predetermined decision gate limit value TA
ThJudge.The amount of exercise of the health 2 of swing is from the back counting of just having enough.The amount of exercise of the health 2 of swing is provided by the summation TA of the number of the position prediction of position sensor (24a-24d) detection.Now, be (TA 〉=TA under the hungry situation at the health 2 of swing
Th), be placed near the selected (step 13) of feeding district 4a track track " B ".Selected or be set under the situation of present track track at " A ", track is provided with motor 27 and is driven the track track is forwarded to " B " from " A ".
After this reaction pattern is branched to two kinds of patterns according to the random number (RND) that produces in step 14.Two reaction patterns occur with the probability of 50% (1: 1) respectively.Consider probability of occurrence, according to random number under the selecteed situation, the health 2 of swing moves on to sensing station " c " with low velocity in step 15.In step 16, acoustic pattern V (03), just, the sound of the health 2 of the swing that produces from loudspeaker 28 is shy (with reference to figure 5).The health 2 of swing at full speed moves on to sensing station " a ".By series reaction, the health of expression swing 2 is not eaten feed for guard, though the health 2 of swing responds when the user provides the health 2 of feed to swing.
In step 3,, carry out the counting that divides about action and handle according to the reaction of the health of swinging 2.Figure 10 is the flow chart that is used to describe the detailed sequence of counting processing procedure.At first, in step 21, counting motion action divides SX.Divide SX according to following equation counting motion action, wherein S1 represents the number that is detected to 24d by position sensor 24a respectively during the time interval of carrying out series reaction for certain stimulation to S4.The summation of the number that representative detects, the motion action divides SX, corresponding to the amount of exercise of the health 2 of the swing that relates to reaction.
SX＝S1＋S2＋S3＋S4.
For example, under the situation of carrying out above-mentioned reaction pattern (step 11 to 16), be placed on the position sensor 24a at sensing station a place by the health 2 twice (S1=2) of step 11 and 16 wobble detection.In addition, the position sensor 24b that is placed on sensing station b place is by based on the health 2 of the movement detection swing of step 15 once (S2=1).Therefore, in this reaction pattern, motion action divides SX to produce, it with value in have+3 minutes.
In the step of following 22, counting sound action branch.Be implemented in above-mentioned reaction pattern under the situation of (step 11 to 16), the sound action divides VX to produce (under pattern V (22), mark VX equals zero) not according to the output at the acoustic pattern V (22) of step 11.In addition, the sound action divides VX to produce according to the output at the acoustic pattern V (03) of step 16, and it had-1 fen.So in this reaction pattern, the motion action divides SX to produce, it has summation is-1 minute.
In step 23, the total value (SX+VX) of dividing based on the action of these reactions is added to present total numerical value UPT, so that upgrade total numerical value UPT.Under the situation of above-mentioned example since the total value that action divides equal+2 (=3-1), so+2 be added on present total numerical value UPT, so that upgrade total numerical value UPT.
Shown in Figure 8, follow step 4 in step 3 back, total numerical value UPT that action divides (value now) compares (with reference to Fig. 7) with the threshold value that is provided with, so that the judgement stage of growth.
By repeating above-mentioned series of steps 1 to 4, about stage of growth of the health 2 of swing back and forth (on/down) move.Along with the health 2 of swing is grown up, the health 2 of swing reflects gradually tames the user.
As mentioned above, divide SX and VX according to the interactive toy 1 counting action of present embodiment, each action divides the reaction based on stimulating that is according to the health 2 of swing to produce.Interactive toy 1 is according to the growth degree of the health 2 of total numerical value UPT swing.The action that produces according to reaction (output) divides SX and VX, compared with the stimulation of using in the prior art (input) number, is the inscrutable parameter of user.So, the appearance trend of the reaction of the health 2 of the very difficult expection swing of user.As a result, it is happy to give the user during the long time interval, and can not be weary of.
(becoming example 1)
In the above-described embodiment, the motion action divides SX and uses action to divide VX to be added on total numerical value UPT, so that upgrade total numerical value UPT.Therefore, in the personality stage (stage of growth), its determines the reaction and the personality of health 2 of swing, according to total numerical value UPT, on a yardstick, moves on to the quadravalence section from the phase I.On the other hand, the motion action divides SX and sound action to divide VX to be counted individually, so that obtain total numerical value UPT1 and UPT2 respectively.The personality stage can move on two each and every one yardsticks according to two input value UPT1 and UPT2.
For example, prepare the personality state mapping map of a matrix shape, have the 4x4 unit.The personality stage of the health 2 of swing describes with each unit.The trunnion axis of personality state mapping map is represented total numerical value UPT1.The vertical axis of personality state mapping map is represented total numerical value UPT2.In the limited time interval that is provided with randomly, two total numerical value UPT1 and UPT2 are counted, so that be defined in total numerical value UPT1 and the UPT2 of the limited time interval when disappearing.As mentioned above, the personality stage can with reference to the personality state mapping map, and be updated by using fixing two total numerical value UPT1 and UPT2 as input.As a result, might be on two yardsticks the mobile personality stage.Might make reaction that more variation is arranged.
