Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lottery random generator with a housing and an electrical circuit arrangement accommodated therein.
  • lucky charms In games of chance, for example in the lottery 6 out of 49, many game participants randomly tick the number fields on the ticket. When determining these numbers, it is often common to use good luck charms of any kind. Such lucky charms also include facilities that, for example, use microprocessors to determine such lucky numbers.
  • Devices known as lottery random generators are known from the prior art, in which six numbers from three predetermined number ranges (range 1: numbers 1 to 36, range 2: numbers 1 to 49, range 3: numbers 1 to 99) at the push of a button on one LCD display.
  • the display is displayed in a confusing column of numbers, which makes reading and copying errors when transferring the displayed numbers to the ticket very likely. This is particularly the case for older people whose vision is sometimes severely restricted.
  • lottery random generators which are often combined with an alarm clock according to the prior art, are not very original due to their sober design.
  • these devices often arise the problem that the random numbers determined with the aid of simple programs represent false random numbers, since the determination of these numbers is based on a program which works with a certain system (HH Schulze, Computerenzyklopadie, Volume 6, page 2878).
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a lottery random generator that supports the lottery player in an original manner in determining his or her lucky numbers, the lucky numbers being selected as randomly as possible and being output to the player in such a way that the player can access them without reading errors can transfer the game ticket.
  • the input device is a switch.
  • the switch can advantageously be arranged behind the switch, which can distinguish at least one short actuation signal and at least one long actuation signal from one another, and in the case of a short actuation signal selects and outputs exactly one of the total of N numbers, and all with a long actuation signal N randomly selects numbers at one time and outputs them sequentially with a predetermined time delay.
  • the lottery random number generator temporarily stores the N numbers both in the case of a short and in the case of a long actuation signal and arranges them according to increasing value.
  • the numbers are output via a mechanical actuation device, the lips of the housing shaped as a human face are set in motion.
  • the lottery random generator comprises a read-only memory in which the randomly selected N numbers Z i are stored, as well as a keyboard field via which N numbers Z 1 'can be entered into the lottery random generator, and a comparator which stores the entered N numbers Z i 'compares with the selected N numbers Z i and determines the number Ü of the corresponding numbers and outputs them via the speech generator, the D / A converter, the amplifier and the loudspeaker.
  • the described exemplary embodiment of the lottery random generator is composed of an outer housing 1 and an inner housing 2 embedded therein. 1 and 2 show the outer casing 1 of the lottery random generator in two possible configurations from the front.
  • the outer casing 1 of the lottery random generator has a substantially spherical shape and its front side can be designed either as a male or a female face.
  • the face has a mouth area which is formed by an upper (3) and a lower lip 4 with stylized teeth 5, the upper and lower lips are connected to one another at a common point 6 and can be moved against one another with the aid of the mechanical actuating device 10 with which a speech movement is indicated.
  • the inner housing 2 is shown in a perspective view.
  • the inner housing comprises a front wall 11, a rear wall 12, two side parts 13 and a bottom part 14.
  • the inner housing 2 is built into the outer housing 1 in such a way that the front wall 11 of the inner housing contacts the inside of the front of the outer housing 1 is coming.
  • the front wall 11, the rear wall 12 and the bottom part 14 are designed as flat surfaces, the two side parts 13 of the inner housing are curved.
  • a switch 15 is attached, which can be designed as a pressure switch, so that when Pressing the switch, an actuation signal 17 is triggered for the electrical circuit arrangement 19 housed in the inner housing, which, depending on the duration of the depression of the switch, results in a single random number Z i or all N random numbers Z 1 ... Z N being selected.
  • Two openings 20, 22 are let into the rear wall 13 of the housing. In the upper area of the rear wall there is a circular opening 20, which is partially covered by struts 24, behind which a loudspeaker 26 is arranged, via which the randomly selected numbers Z i are output.
  • the outer housing 1 So that the compartment housed in the inner housing 2 is accessible via the flap 27, the outer housing 1 has a flap opening on its rear side.
  • an actuating opening 28 for actuating the switch 15 attached to the inner housing 2 is provided on one side of the outer housing 1.
  • loudspeaker openings 29, for example concealed under the hairline of the face, can be provided on the outer housing.
  • the circuit arrangement used for determining and outputting the numbers and accommodated in the housing is shown in two exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the circuit includes an input device 30, a random generator 32, a speech generator 34, a D / A converter 36, an amplifier 38, a loudspeaker 26, a microprocessor 40 and optionally one mechanical actuator 10.
  • the random generator pulls 32 randomly from a total set M of numbers N numbers Z i .
  • the numbers Z i After the numbers Z i have been determined by the random number generator, they are transmitted in digital form to a speech generator 34 in which the speech patterns SM i of all M numbers Z i are stored. Which belongs to the respective, determined by the random number Z i speech pattern SM i is called in the speech generator and transmitted to a D / A converter 36th
  • the D / A converter 36 converts the digital speech pattern SM i into an analog signal A i , which is amplified via a conventional amplifier circuit 38 so that it can be output via a loudspeaker 26.
  • the amplified signal VA i can also serve to ensure that a mechanical actuating device 10 for the duration in which the signal VA i is present at the loudspeaker has the upper (3) and lower lip 4 on the front formed as a face for a stylized one Speech movement moves.
  • the circuit is advantageously designed as an integrated circuit, and the random generator 32, the speech generator 34 and the D / A converter 36 are controlled by a microprocessor 40.
  • a time detection device 41 in addition to the circuit shown in FIG. 4, a time detection device 41, a read-only memory 42, a comparator 44 and a keyboard field 46 are provided.
  • the keypad 46 like the opening for the loudspeaker and the battery compartment, can be arranged on the rear of the housing or laterally on the side on which no actuation button is not arranged.
  • the time detection device 41 serves to generate a relatively short actuation signal from a relatively long one. Distinguish between actuation signal.
  • the read-only memory 42 is arranged between the random generator 32 and the speech generator 34 in parallel in such a way that the numbers Z i determined by the random generator are supplied in digital form to both the speech generator and the N memories 48 of the read-only memory 42.
  • the numbers Z i stored in the read-only memory can be called up at any time by the microprocessor 40; For example, if numbers Z i 'are entered via a keyboard field, which are first written into a memory area of a comparator, and after all N numbers Z i ' have been entered, are compared with the numbers Z i stored in the read-only memory in the comparator, so that a number U is determined by means of the comparator 44, which corresponds to the number of matching numbers Z i and Z i '.
  • This number Ü of the corresponding numbers can then in turn be fed to the speech generator 34 in digital form via a connecting line.
  • the digital speech pattern SM ü is then determined for the number Ü, which in turn can be output to the player via the D / A converter, the amplifier and the loudspeaker.
  • the present lottery random generator it has been possible to provide an original device for determining and outputting N lottery numbers from a total amount M of numbers, whereby it is ensured that the N numbers are output in such a way that when transferred to the lottery ticket a the greatest possible security is guaranteed and the numbers are selected really randomly.
