Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a game machine with a getting-close person detector, and especially to a game machine with a getting-close person detector for detecting a getting-close person and showing information of welcoming a customer on a screen of the game machine.
  • the method of attracting generally includes improvement of appearance, designs on subjects of games and acoustic and visual effects for rendering outstanding of the game machines by various means to obtain the effect of gathering customers.
  • the inventor of the present invention designed a game machine with a getting-close person detector, the getting-close person detector is mounted on the front side of the game machine; when the getting-close person detector detects that a customer comes in front of the game machine, it immediately informs a CPU to activate the game machine to display pictures on a screen, and sound effects and lights around the game machine. When the customer stops to see, the game machine can further present the content of its game to the customer, and even gives a challenge for the customer. When the getting-close person detector detects that the customer leaves the game machine after playing a period of time, it can inform the CPU to provide pictures, sound effects such as "thank you", "please don't forget your personal articles” etc. In this way, the object of attracting customers can be attained.
  • the getting-close person detector of the present invention mainly contains an infrared emitter and two or more infrared receivers as well as a connecting port for connecting a computer main board in a game machine.
  • the two infrared receivers can detect the distance of a customer from the game machine when the customer comes close the front side of the game machine to thereby distinguish whether the customer passes by or stays near in front of the game machine.
  • getting-close person detectors are provided therein each with a CPU; and infrared signals from the infrared emitters are encoded, they are decoded to distinguish whether a signal is emitted from the same getting- close person detector.
  • each of a plurality of the game machines 10 shown is provided on its front side with a getting-close person detector 20.
  • the main machine of the game machine 10 has a game display screen 11, a broadcasting device, a control station 12 and a computer main board installed in the game machine for providing a game for a customer.
  • the getting-close person detector 20 has an infrared emitter 21 and two or more infrared receivers 221, 222 as well as a connecting port 23 for connecting a computer main board in the game machine 10.
  • the getting-close person detector 20 is mounted on the front side of the game machine 10; when it detects that a customer 25 comes in front of the game machine 10, it outputs a signal to a CPU 24 to activate the game machine 10 to render the latter to enter a program of canvassing a customer for playing a game (referring to Fig. 3) and to activate the game display screen 11 and the broadcasting device to display pictures and give sound effects.
  • the first infrared receiver 221 in the getting-close person detector 20 is used mainly to detect a person 25 at a remote position, while the second infrared receiver 222 is used to detect a person 25 at a near position.
  • the first infrared receiver 221 is of a detecting-distance adjustable block, the detecting-distance can be adjusted according to a predetermined distance adapted to being detected practically.
  • the infrared signal emitted from the infrared emitter 21 is encoded by an encoder 26.
  • the two infrared receivers 221, 222 receive the encoded infrared signal emitted from the infrared emitter 21, the signal enters a decoder 27 through an amplifier, a signal decoder and signal detector, then is output to the CPU 24.
  • This procedure of encoding and decoding mainly is for preventing interferences among those game machines allocated face to face.
  • the screen of the game machine 10 shows the normal exemplary picture.
  • a signal is output to the CPU 24 to give a salutation picture and voice, such as is shown in Fig. 4-3.
  • the customer will be attracted by the suddenly given salutation picture and voice, such as is shown in Fig. 4-4. If the customer stops to stay by the attraction, the propaganda picture is played on the screen.
  • the customer is interested to get close to the game machine 10 to enter the extent of detecting of the second infrared receiver 222, the content of and the way of playing the game are introduced on the screen, such as is shown in Fig. 4-5.
  • the customer makes a decision to enter the game, he starts to enter the content of the game, such as is shown in Fig. 4-6.
  • the game machine 10 plays pictures and voices for thanking such as "thank you for coming", "welcome back” and reminding words such as "please don't forget your personal articles” etc.
  • the game machine having the getting-close person detector provided by the present invention can obtain the object of attracting customers to play games; it can increase the rate of using of the game machine.
