It is noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second," and the like, may be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions.

As background art, at present, chess is mainly divided into two types, one type is entity chess, the material of which is usually plastic or wood, no electronic device is contained in the chessboard and the chessmen, and automatic timing, automatic scoring, reward and punishment, historical information storage and display and the like cannot be intelligently performed according to the current chess game. The other type is electronic chess which needs to be installed on a mobile phone, a PC or a game machine, and the chess is not suitable for playing a table game which is face-to-face with people because the chess does not comprise a physical chessboard and chessmen, and simultaneously lacks the touch feeling of the physical chessboard and chessmen. Therefore, neither of the above two types of chess can satisfy the user's needs.

After the inventor fully researches the existing entity chess, the inventor finds that the entity chess can not meet the requirements of users, and can not intelligently carry out automatic timing, automatic scoring, reward and punishment, storage and display of historical information and the like according to the current chess game, and the root cause is that the entity chess can not autonomously identify the chessmen in the current chessboard and the positions of the chessmen.

In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic entity chess. The electronic entity chess provided by the utility model can be used for Chinese chess, go, military chess, Chinese checkers, word spelling chess, etc.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a three-dimensional structure of a chessman of an electronic entity chess provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a chessboard of an electronic entity chess according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic entity chess comprises a plurality of chess pieces 1 (for example, only 1 chess piece 1 is shown in figure 1) and a chessboard 2; the chess pieces 1 are divided into m types, and m is an integer larger than 1; the resistance values of the chess pieces 1 belonging to the same class are the same, and the resistance values of the chess pieces 1 belonging to different classes are different; the chessboard 2 includes a plurality of first chess positions 21 and a plurality of first resistance detection circuits (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2); the first resistance detection circuits are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the first chess positions 21; when the chess pieces are positioned at the first chess position 21, the first resistance detection circuit is used for detecting the resistance value of the chess pieces 1 positioned at the corresponding first chess position 21. Therefore, the positions of the chess pieces 1 and the chess pieces 1 placed on the current chessboard 2 can be identified through the electric signals fed back by the first resistance detection circuits, so that automatic timing, automatic score calculation, reward and punishment, storage, historical record display and the like can be performed according to the positions of the chess pieces 1 and the chess pieces 1 subsequently.

The beneficial effects of the technical scheme of the application are further explained by taking the word spelling chess as an example.

Referring to fig. 1, the pawn 1 is printed with english letters and corresponding scores on the front (i.e. top) thereof, and the number of each letter and the score determine the principle of the letter occurrence frequency in all words or in a given dictionary. Illustratively, in the standard Scrabble english version including 9 a, 2B, 2C, 4D, 12E, 2F, 3G, 2H, 9I, 1J, 1K, 4L, 2M, 6N, 8O, 2P, 1Q, 6R, 4S, 6T, 4U, 2V, 2W, 1X, 2Y, 1Z, and 2 blank blocks, the scores of the respective letters are determined as follows according to the given distribution: a is 1 minute, B is 3 minutes, C is 3 minutes, D is 2 minutes, E is 1 minute, F is 4 minutes, G is 2 minutes, H is 4 minutes, I is 1 minute, J is 8 minutes, K is 5 minutes, L is 1 minute, M is 3 minutes, N is 1 minute, O is 1 minute, P is 3 minutes, Q is 10 minutes, R is 1 minute, S is 1 minute, T is 1 minute, U is 1 minute, V is 4 minutes, W is 4 minutes, X is 8 minutes, Y is 4 minutes, Z is 10 minutes, and blank blocks are 0 minutes. Wherein any blank block may replace any letter in a game, the letter to be replaced being determined by the player using the blank block, and the letter to be replaced remains unchanged until the game or game is over after the blank block is placed on the board to form the word.

Based on this, all the chess pieces can be divided into 27 classes, and each class corresponds to an English letter. I.e. all pawns marked a are of the first type, all pawns marked B are of the second type, … …, and so on.

In the chessboard, the number and arrangement mode of the first chess positions can be various. Which may be based on game rules. Illustratively, the plurality of first chess places are arranged in a 15 × 15 array structure, or the plurality of first chess places are arranged in a 17 × 17 array structure, or the plurality of first chess places are arranged in a 19 × 19 array structure.

Fig. 3 is a schematic top view of another chessboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, in the chessboard, a plurality of first chess positions are arranged in a 15 x 15 array structure.

With continued reference to FIG. 3, in practice, the rules of the game for the word spelling chess are generally: the central position of the board is specified as the four-star position, where a certain letter of the first spelled word needs to be located. The first chess position on the chessboard comprises the following chess positions: general position, letter score × 2 position (DL), letter score × 3 position (TL), word score × 2 position (DW), word score × 3 position (TW).

The word scoring rule is that each letter is scored according to the score and position of the letter. Specifically, a letter located at a general position is scored as the score of the letter. The letter located at the letter score x 2 position is scored as the score x 2 of the letter. The letter located at the letter score x 3 position is scored as the score x 3 of the letter. All letter scores are added to form the basic score of the spelled word. If a letter in the spelled word falls at the word score x 2 position or the word score x 3 position, the score of the word is x 2 or x 3 on the base, and the x 2 or x 3 scoring process is cumulative, i.e. if one letter in the spelled word is at the word score x 2 position and another letter is at the word score x 3 position, the score of the word is x 2 x 3 on the base x 6, and so on.

The spelling game adopts a round system, according to different rules, each player has a fixed total time (usually 25 minutes, which can also be set by oneself) in each game or match, the time duration (usually calculated in seconds) from the end of the spelling of the last player to the completion of the spelling of the player is recorded as the spelling time of the player, the time is deducted from the total time duration of the player, and when the total time is used up, an additional match time is obtained by deducting 10 minutes (for example, an additional time of one minute can be set by oneself). In another rule, the maximum time (e.g., 3 minutes, which can be set by the player) that can be used by the player in each round is specified, and the game is played by using a deduction overtime (the point value is set by the player) or by using a mode of ending the round after the overtime.

After the game starts, the first player first spells a word on the board, requiring that the word be a word belonging to a given dictionary and its variant, and any letter in the word is located at the center of the board, and if the first player fails to spell the word within a given time, he abandons the round of spelling, and the next player performs the above operations.

All players spell words that (1) are placed on the board in a straight line that is only vertical or horizontal, and (2) any one of the k letters is adjacent to any other one or two of the k letters, and (3) there is at least one of the k letters that is adjacent to at least one of any existing pieces on the board (i.e., pieces spelled in a previous round).

Fig. 4-7 are four word spelling examples given in the embodiments of the present invention. In fig. 4-7, the pieces with shading are letters spelled in the player's current turn, and the pieces without shading are letters spelled in the previous turn and already exist on the board. The player may spell one or more legitimate words in each turn, the legitimately spelled words including one or more of (1) a word consisting of k letters and other letters already present on the board, the word lying on the one longitudinal or transverse line, such as LENGTH in fig. 4, DOSES in fig. 5, and SOLID in fig. 6, (2) a word consisting of one of the k letters and other letters already present on the board, such as lesens and PARENTS in fig. 5, and APPLES in fig. 6, in a direction perpendicular to the one longitudinal or transverse line. In FIG. 7, R0ADS and DO are spelled out, but since SC does not constitute a word, the spelling operation in FIG. 7 is an illegal operation.

If the word spelled by the player is illegal, the letters spelled by the player need to be completely retrieved according to the game rules, the spelling chance of the turn is lost, and corresponding punishment processing or no punishment is needed according to the rules, wherein the punishment processing is usually penalty (the penalty rules and the score can be set by the player).

As is apparent from the above game rules, it is necessary to recognize the placed pieces and recognize the positions where the pieces are placed, regardless of whether the validity or the invalidity of the spelled word is determined or whether the score is calculated based on the validity or the non-validity of the spelled word. The electronic entity chess can detect the electric signals output by the first resistance detection circuits; and determining the placement position of the chess pieces and the category of the placed chess pieces based on the electric signals output by the first resistance detection circuits. This is because the resistance values of the chessmen belonging to different categories are different, and when the chessmen belonging to different categories are connected to the first resistance detection circuit, the voltage division functions of the chessmen are different, so that the first resistance detection circuit outputs different electrical signals. Moreover, since the first resistance detection circuits are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the first chess positions, each first resistance detection circuit can uniquely represent one first chess position. In view of the above, can confirm the position of placing of piece according to the sign of the first resistance detection circuitry of the signal of telecommunication that feeds back, consequently, based on this, it can realize judging the word exactness, the flow of control recreation round, carry out the word suggestion to realize functions such as timing, score reward punishment.

The timing mode and rule refers to timing according to rounds (each round has the longest spelling time, such as 3 minutes), or counting the total time of one game (such as 25 minutes as the total time of each player), or adopting the two at the same time, and whether the overtime is penalized and the corresponding penalty rule refers to deducting the overtime of each round, or deducting the total time only after the overtime is exceeded, or deducting the total time at the same time, or adopting the mode that the player chooses to obtain extra time to deduct the points.

Fig. 17 is a block diagram of a chessboard and a chess tray of an electronic entity chess provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 17, devices such as a lithium battery, a main processor, a memory, and a Wi-Fi chip are built in the chessboard. The main processor is used for detecting the chess piece information on the chessboard, controlling the light-emitting components on the first chess positions, controlling and switching rounds, timing and timing, checking word correctness, calculating word scores, executing awards or punishment of scores and other awards or punishment operations, calculating player scores or executing other operations. The board is connected to the pawn trays via a wired I2C interface, and the main processor on the board is able to control the display on each pawn tray via an I2C interface. The memory is used for storing control programs of the main processor and the auxiliary processor, dictionaries of English or other languages, player information, game statistical information, information of historical games and the like. The Wi-Fi chip is used for connecting a local area network and the Internet and realizes functions including firmware (control programs or rules and the like) upgrading, dictionary updating, player information or competition information and other data sharing. The data sharing is used for sharing specific information to the mobile phone end, the specific information can be checked through the APP on the mobile phone, and parameter setting can also be carried out on the chessboard through the APP on the mobile phone. Data sharing can also share data to a remote Web server, so that ranking of players around the world is realized.

Each chessman tray is provided with an independent auxiliary processor which is used for detecting the key operation on the chessman tray, detecting and reading the chessman information on the chessman tray and sending the information to the main processor through an I2C interface, controlling a light-emitting component in the chessman identification device on the chessman tray, driving a loudspeaker, simultaneously reading data in a memory through an I2C interface, particularly pronunciation data of words, and driving the loudspeaker on the chessman tray to play pronunciation of the words.

Because the technical scheme can identify the chessmen placed at the second chess position, the chess piece recognition device can also have a word prompting function, when a certain player can not spell words in a given time without wishing to give up the current round of spelling, or the player actively selects the word prompting function at any time, at the moment, the main processor on the chessboard gives an optimal or better spelling scheme according to the letter distribution on the chessboard and the letters on the chessman tray of the player, and the player can choose to adopt the scheme or not to adopt the scheme. It can be stated that, when the primary word prompting function is used, a certain score of the player needs to be deducted, and the deduction principle can adopt a deduction scheme of adopting the spelling or a deduction scheme whether the spelling is adopted or not, and can also adopt a deduction mode such as a deduction according to times (using the primary word prompting function to deduct a certain score) or a deduction according to proportions (using the primary word prompting function to deduct a fixed proportion of the scores in the current round) and the like.

The electronic entity chess can also have a letter replacement function, when a certain player cannot spell out a word or actively selects the letter replacement function at any time, the player can put any letters in hands back into the chess piece cloth bags, and simultaneously extract the same number of chess pieces from the chess piece cloth bags. After the letter permutation is completed, the player ends the current round. The letter replacement can be done in different ways, such as putting the pieces back into the bag and then taking them out of the bag, (which way the put pieces may be taken out again), or by putting the pieces back into the bag with the pieces facing downwards, (which way ensures that the pieces taken out are different from the pieces put back), and then taking the pieces out of the bag and then putting the pieces in the bag, (which way ensures that the taken pieces are agreed by the players. The method is characterized in that a certain score of a player needs to be deducted by using the letter replacement function once, the score can be deducted according to the letter replacement number (each time the replacement function is used, a fixed score is deducted by replacing one letter each time according to the number of the replaced letters, but the replacement is required to be completed once and cannot be replaced by one letter one by one), and the score can be deducted by using the number of the replaced letters (only one fixed score is deducted by using the replacement function once).

The electronic physical chess may also have a delayed checking mode, i.e. after a certain player spells a word, the main processor in the board does not immediately perform an automatic word correctness check. In this mode, after a player spells a word, other players confirm that the word spelled by the player is correct (legal) or ask a question about the word spelled by the player, usually a default duration is given (e.g., 15 seconds, which can be set by themselves), and after the default duration is exceeded, the word spelled by the player is determined to be legal (even if the word spelled is considered illegal after the main processor checks). The delayed check mode helps improve the ability of a player to effectively recognize the spelling accuracy of a word, enhances the accuracy with which the player remembers words, and increases the interactivity and entertainment of the game (e.g., spelling an ambiguous word in an attempt to obtain a corresponding score, essentially gambling with other players who are willing to ask for a challenge, and possibly being awarded if the error is made). In the delayed check mode, any one player may question the correctness of the word spelled by the player in the round within a default length of time, rather than only players in the next round immediately following the current round.

There are various penalties and reward schemes in the deferred inspection mode that score the challenge. The various penalty and award schemes are set prior to the start of the game, i.e., to set which scheme is used in the game or contest, and to set the value of the penalty or award which does not change during a contest or game. The various schemes fall into three broad categories, as follows: firstly, accurately spelling (check mark) and questioning (x); secondly, mismatching (x), and questioning (x); and thirdly, mismatching (x) without question (v). In the three cases, the first √ or x indicates the actual correctness of the spelled word, i.e., the correctness determined by the host processor, and the second √ or x indicates the correctness of the spelled word recognized by the other player, as follows:

one, correct alignment (check square), questionable (x). If a word spelled by a certain player is correct (checked by the main processor) and other players propose a challenge, the player who proposes the challenge is (1) deducted points, or the points of the player who proposes the challenge are deducted according to a certain proportion of the word scores, or (2) the player who spells the word is awarded points, or the player who spells the word is awarded according to a certain proportion of the word scores, or (3) the operations of the above (1) and (2) are executed simultaneously, or (4) no punishment or award is executed.

And II, misspelling (x) with question (x). If a player spells a word (checked by the host processor) incorrectly, which may be either an unintended (inaccurate word memory) or intended (spells an ambiguous word, if other players cannot determine the correctness of the word without being questioned or fear that errors are deducted without being questioned, the player that spelled the word may score), if any player raises a question within a default time period, the misspelled word player retrieves all letters spelled, the word does not score, while (1) awarding a certain score to the player that raised the question, or awarding the player that raised the question in a proportion of the score for the word, or (2) penalizing a certain score to the player that wrongly spelled the word, or awarding a certain proportion of the score for the word, or (3) both (1) and (2), or (4) not executing any of the operations or awards in any score, or (5) forbid the player of misspelled words from spelling the chance in the next round. (5) May be used in combination with the aforementioned (1) to (4). After the bonus or penalty, the spelling game may be continued by (1) the next player (set in rules before the start of the game, in clockwise or counterclockwise order), or (2) the next round of spelling by the player who presented the challenge, skipping the other players.

And thirdly, mismatching (x) without question (v). If a player spells a word (checked by the main process) incorrectly, but no other players call into question within a default time period, then (1) the player is awarded a fixed score for the spelled word, or awarded a score in proportion to the score of the word, (2) no penalty or award is performed, (3) the player is deducted a score for the spelled word, or deducted a score in proportion to the score of the word. Here 3 schemes, the bonus or deduction of the score is not performed immediately after the word is spelled, but after a default duration.

In some cases, the player may be encouraged to spell a ambiguous word to confuse other players, e.g., the word is not misspelled, and other players are questioned, and the score of the player who is questioned is deducted, so that other players may not be expected to ask for a question for the ambiguous word, so as to avoid being deducted if the word is correct. For another example, if a misspelled word is presented but no or no player is expected to present a challenge, then the player awarding the misspelled word is given a certain number of points, which is also equivalent to encouraging the player to misspell the wrong word to obtain more awarded points, although the player is also at risk of being presented with a challenge by other players and being credited themselves.

The electronic entity chess can also carry out man-machine battle, and particularly, main processing on a chessboard is used as an intelligent agent (at the moment, another player needs to take the chess piece instead of a processor for word spelling according to prompt information given by a main processor), and man-machine battle is carried out with the player.
