  • One object of the present invention is to provide a communication game system with which players can enjoy success or failure of communication itself as a game.
  • the present invention is a communication game system comprising a communication game device of a first kind and a communication game device of a second kind,
  • the annunciator consists of an LED and a sound generator.
  • both the communication game device of the first kind and the communication game device of the second kind compris the same battery power supply, input switch of message, annunciator and microprocessor,
  • the communication game device of the first kind and the communication game device of the second kind have transmitting frequencies, and
  • each of the communication game device of the first kind and the communication game device of the second kind further includes a power switch, and
  • the microprocessor of the communication game device of the second kind has two modes, one an active mode for making the CPU therein active, and the other a hold mode for making the CPU therein inactive, and further includes a means for shifting the microprocessor to the active mode in response to receiving a signal from the communication game device of the first kind.
  • the microprocessor of the communication game device of the first kind has two modes, one an active mode for making the CPU active, and the other a hold mode for making the CPU therein inactive, and
  • said annunciator of each of the communication game device of the first kind and the communication game device of the second kind annunciates reception of a message signal different from the message of the own device
  • the communication game devices are divided into those of the first kind and those of the second kind.
  • the devices of the first kind are active and can appeal to the devices of the second kind.
  • the devices of the second kind are passive and they can only respond to the devices of the first kind.
  • the communication is not for conversation or the like, and is limited to transmitting a simple message. If the message of the device and a message received are in accord with each other, the device will annunciate that. Even if the messages are in accord with each other, the communication never develop into a conversation or the like, and the player can leave the game at any time by simply turning off the power of the device.
  • the devices of the first kind and the devices of the second kind are common from the viewpoint of hardware.
  • the devices of the first kind and the devices of the second kind are differentiated from each other by switching the mode of the microprocessor and switching the frequencies of the transmitter and the receiver.
  • the content of communication is limited to transmission and reception of simple messages.
  • messages are indicated by, for example, durations of an unmodulated carrier, the communication can be made very easily.
  • the power is automatically turned off after passage of a specified time measured from the turning-on of the power.
  • use of electric power can be economized by shifting the microprocessor of the second kind device from the hold mode into the active mode upon signal reception.
  • use of electricity can be economised by periodically shifting the microprocessor of the first kind device into the active mode to transmit signal and wait for reception of a responding signal, then making the processor inactive in the hold mode till next transmission.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a communication game device of the embodiment.
  • the device comprises a transmitting antenna 1, a transmitter 2, a first converter 3 for parallel-serial conversion of data to be transmitted, a control 4 having a CPU being a microprocessor to have various controls, a display 5, a second converter 6 for serial-parallel conversion of data received, a receiver 7, a receiving antenna 8, and a power supply 9.
  • the antennas 1, 8 may be provided by a single antenna.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the communication game device.
  • a display 20 being LEDs, etc. and a display/setting switch 21 are provided on the front.
  • the switch 21 When the switch 21 is pushed, the indication on the display 20 changes from 0 to 9 sequentially. Thus a desired number can be set.
  • Separate switches may be provided for setting and display, respectively. In the present case, however, the same switch is used for both switching indication and setting. For example, when the switch is pressed for a short period of 1 second or under, the indication changes, and when the switch is pressed for a longer period of two seconds or over, a number being displayed is set. Or when the display/setting switch 21 is pressed, a current preset value is displayed for a short time.
  • a next number will be indicated. In this way, new numbers are indicated one after another. When a desired number is indicated and it is left to stand, the number is set. With this arrangement, one switch 21 can make plural operations, and the number of parts can be reduced.

  • ST5 For both the communication game devices for women and for men, numbers are determined in advance to represent plural message contents such as conversation" and sing-along (karaoke)." Out of these numbers, one desired number is selected.
  • the control 4 outputs the message set by the number in the form of parallel data.
  • the first converter 3 converts this parallel data into serial data, and the data is transmitted on a carrier of a frequency N (ST6).
  • An identification code that is given to the communication game device is added to the message, and the identification code data is transmitted together with the above-mentioned data in the form of serial data.
  • the receiving device When the radio wave transmitted is received by a transmission game device of the other group, if messages of the devices of both groups accord with each other, the receiving device will respond. On the part of the communication game device for women, to receive such a response, the device is switched to a receiving mode for a short period after the above-mentioned transmission (ST7). This cycle of transmission and reception is repeated twice, and two seconds or so will suffice as the waiting time for one cycle (ST8, ST9). If the device for women receives a responding signal from the communication game device for men, the device for women receives the signal through the receiving antenna 8. The signal is demodulated by the receiver 7, and serial data after demodulation is converted into parallel data by the second converter 6 and fed into the control 4.
  • the control 4 judges whether the identification code of the counterpart or the number contained in the received signal is in accord with an identification number of a counterpart communication game device or a message number that has been set in advance (ST10). If any accord is found, the control 4 will generate a sound or turn on the LED 24 (ST11).
  • the power is turned on (ST21), then circuits are initialized (ST22) and defaulted (ST23). After that, data are set (ST24 and ST25). Operations for these steps are similar to those of steps ST4, ST5 of Fig. 3, and are intended to set an identification number of a communication game device for women and a number corresponding to a desired condition such as conversation or karaoke.
  • the device waits for a transmission from a communication game device for women, periodically repeating the receiving mode (ST26, ST27). When the device receives a signal, it judges whether the identification number of the counterpart game device and the preset condition contained in the received signal are in accord with its preset values (ST28). If any accord is found, the device will generate a sound or turn on the LED 24 (ST29) and transmit a response signal indicating the reception (ST30). Then the device will receive a response from the counterpart (ST31, ST32).
  • This embodiment can be modified in various ways. For example, it may be arranged in such a way that, in place of inputting an identification signal of a counterpart in advance, when a signal is received, a sound is generated and the number of the transmitting device is displayed, and the player can decide whether to transmit a response or not after checking the display.
