- This very different one Devices together are the hardware components of the device such as housing, display, controls, control unit and the memory device with variable memory content in which the different games are saved.
- the storage unit of the known entertainment and gaming device can include a hard drive.
- Alternatively or additionally can have one or more CD-ROMs as data carriers in the housing be provided.
- CD-ROMs as data carriers in the housing be provided.
- For a quick change of the CD-ROM it is convenient to keep a CD-ROM magazine for storage and reading the disk is provided.
- EPROMs can also be provided. Via these EPROMs, the game can be played in the respective Device can be integrated.
- the recorded data for example can be saved on the hard disk.
- the data exchange can e.g. done by the operator, alternatively but also by the user, i.e. the player. See the operator about that the frequency of the concerned Game equipment wears off significantly, he only needs that saved game by a command and appropriate reading exchange new game data for another game, in which there seems to be greater interest.
- An interactive video system for is known from EP-A-0 623 799 military or police shooting training known.
- data compression is performed using MPEG.
- US-A-4 799 677 discloses a video game device in where the video data is digitized and compressed.
- the invention has for its object an entertainment and To create play equipment that is versatile and varied, at the same time enables fast game play.
- a program-controlled, money-operated entertainment and game device thus comprises a storage device, stored in the program and data information are.
- MPEG decoding is used for data processing and / or compression applied.
- the MPEG process (one from the Motion Picture Expert Group defined standard for video and audio compression) it, with large storage volumes and high data transfer rates to work.
- the data can be the same as for the Telecommunications technology to be nested.
- the storage device preferably comprises a disk, in particular Hard disk, being magnetic or optical disks be used.
- one or more CDRs including CD-ROMs, CDIs, be provided as a data carrier in the housing.
- the data exchanges can, of course, to each requested time and are basically not tied to the game operation, i.e. data is usually transferred not online.
- the program-controlled, money-operated entertainment and gaming device to a network be connected, with a server for the control of the Device or a network assigned to the device is.
- the basic structure of a program-controlled according to the invention Entertainment and play equipment is as follows explained with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 1.
- the Entertainment and game device 2 shown is a coin-operated Stand-alone device. It includes a not shown Housing, with the housing a display 4 in the form of a Screen, e.g. a VGA monitor. Furthermore are controls 6 in the form of an input keyboard with connected to the housing.
- a coin processing 8 is for the Coin operated operation provided.
- the control unit is accommodated on a system board 16, which is a commercially available system card can. This is provided with a DVI card 18, whereby DVI "Digital Video Interactive", a trademark of the company Intel Corporation, USA.
- the DVI card is over a line 20 connected to the display 4.
- An I / O module 22 is via a line 24 with the controls 6 and a Line 26 connected to the coin processing 8.
- a sound card, a so-called sound board 28 is connected via a line 30 connected to the stereo amplifier 10.
- the system board 16 is connected via a supply line 32 a power supply 34 connected.
- One assigned to the housing Storage means include a hard disk 36 and a floppy disk station 38 or floppy disks that are connected via lines 40 or 42 are connected to the system board 16. It can be optional a CD-ROM 44 shown in dashed lines may be provided, via a line 46, also shown in dashed lines is connected to the system board 16.
- the MPEG method is used for data compression and decoding.
- the entertainment and gaming device is suitable due to its ability to combine graphics, still and moving images and audio part using a single computer for extremely flexible operation.
- Desired device function or variant only needs a corresponding program with associated data in the Storage device to be read. The device works then according to this new function specification.
- the entertainment described and game device in connection with an external Server or an external evaluation are operated.
- the server or the evaluation is one of Operator operated computer, which is connected via a remote data transmission connection with the computers of the individual venues Makes contact and the individual devices are monitored or their evaluation takes over. It is also possible to go to the local Hard drives of the server itself to dub new software.
