- La figure 8 représente une figurine à multiple zone de diffusion de lumière selon l'invention. La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus d'un terminal (1) avec une figurine (20) posée sur l'écran capacitif (2) du terminal. Le terminal comprend des boutons de commande manuels (3) et des boutons de commande à travers l'interface de l'écran capacitif qui transmet des informations au processeur (41). La figure 2 représente une vue de profil de principe de l'interaction lumineuse entre l'écran (2) et la figurine (20). La figurine (20) est posée par sa semelle (30) sur l'écran capacitif (2). Pour être reconnue par l'écran (2) la figurine transmet une énergie à l'écran, de façon autonome si la figurine comprend une batterie ou une pile, de façon non autonome et la figurine est alors conductrice depuis la tête de figurine (31) jusqu'à la semelle (30) et doit alors être touchée par l'utilisateur. Lorsque la figurine a été reconnue par le processeur (41), le processeur (41) qui dialogue avec le logiciel de jeu qui est actif sur l'écran transmet un ordre à la source d'alimentation lumineuse (42) de l'écran, d'émettre de la lumière de façon spécifique. La lumière émise peut être dirigée sous la semelle de la figurine, elle est une dite lumière de figurine (43), ou en dehors de la surface de semelle de figurine (44), elle est alors nommée lumière de plateau (44). La lumière de figurine (43) peut donner un simple aspect ludique à la figurine. Elle peut également donner des instructions de jeu. Exemple : Rouge pour immobiliser ou Verte pour avancer. Elle peut également donner des instructions de direction comme représenté en figure 3 représente une vue de dessus, en dif actant la lumière en tête (31) de figurine dans une direction particulière (N, S, E, O). Les instructions de lumière de figurine (43) et celle de lumière de plateau (44) peuvent astucieusement être couplée dans un jeu. Les exemples sont multiples et nombreux. Comme par exemple simplement pour illustrer : Tête de figurine qui indique une indication rouge ou vert et lumière de plateau qui indique un déplacement à effectuer sur un case à atteindre pour la figurine qui est verte. Cette invention permet de créer de nombreux jeux de casse tête. Elle permet également de donner un aspect ludique au jeu avec des figurines qui deviennent animées et un plateau qui est lui aussi animé. Les figures 3b et 3 c représentent une variante de l'invention dans lesquelles les figurines sont des ustensiles décoratifs. Exemple la maison des fantômes qui est éclairée alternativement à un endroit ou à un autre de façon à faire sortir de la lumière par une fenêtre (38), voir figure 3c, ou par une autre. La canalisation de la lumière étant obtenue par la conjugaison de cloison à l'intérieur de la figurine délimitant plusieurs espaces clos et plusieurs sources de lumières qui émettent alternativement sous chacun des espaces clos. On voit donc la variante avec la figure 3a qui propose de transmettre la lumière une source de lumière en tête de figurine, avec la variante de la figure 3 b, 3 c qui propose de canaliser plusieurs sources de lumières à travers plusieurs chemins dans la figurine / ustensile. La figure 4a représente de profil de la figurine (20) avec une fibre de transmission de lumière (40), qui est préférentiellement une fibre optique de type connu, qui traverse la figurine depuis la semelle (30) jusqu'à la tête (31). Dans cette version la fibre de transmission de lumière (40) peut être réalisée par des moyens de type différent, comme par exemple une réflexion sur les parois ou un trou astucieusement disposé en tête de tube. La lumière de figurine (43) est donc bien transmise depuis la source lumineuse (42) jusqu'à la tête de figurine (31). La figurine 4b représente de profil de la figurine (20) avec une fibre de transmission de lumière (40), qui est préférentiellement une fibre optique de type connu, qui traverse la figurine depuis la semelle (30) jusqu'à une sortie en tête (31). La variante de la figure 4b par rapport à celle de la figure 4a est que la fibre est courbée de façon à ce que la sortie se fasse sur le côté de la figurine et par forcément sur le dessus. Cette variante permet des effets ludiques particuliers comme celui de reproduire un visage qui apparaît dans la configuration physique classique du positionnement sur un personnage, voir de face figure 4c. La figure 4d représente une variante de l'invention dans laquelle le flux de lumière (40) qui provient de l'écran capacitif traverse une première lentille (Ll) positionnée sur la semelle de la figurine, à l'intérieur de la figurine, un jeu de miroirs (M) renvoie cette lumière vers une sortie sur la figurine. A la sortie de la figurine est positionnée une seconde lentille (L2) qui difracte l'image pour la retranscrire de façon souhaitée. La figure 5 représente une vue de dessous de la semelle figurine avec la fibre optique qui vient trouver son extrémité de semelle positionnée entre une signature (50) à picots conducteurs. La fonction des picots est de servir de grille d'authentification, de signature, de l'identité de la figurine. La tête d'entrée de fibre de transmission de lumière (40) est préférentiellement positionnée au centre de la semelle (30) entre les picots (50). La figurine de la figure 3b comportera plusieurs sources de prise de lumière sous la semelle de la figurine. L'enjeu est de faire collaborer astucieusement les picots conducteurs de signature de semelle, avec les prises de lumière. La figure 5b représente une forme de l'invention dans laquelle la fibre de transmission de lumière (40) est interactive et couplée avec un réseau conducteur (55). Sous cette forme, la semelle de la figurine peut comporter plusieurs têtes d'entrée de fibre de lumière qui viendront diffuser, voir figure 8, sur plusieurs sorties différentes sur la surface extérieure de la figurine. Bien sûr, la semelle de la figurine peut être une composition de la semelle de la figure 5a, grille d'authentification et tête de fibre avec celle de la figure 5b, pluralité tête de fibre conductrice. Selon l'application souhaitée, il est possible de disposer ou non une semelle à authentification, de disposer ou non plusieurs fibres de transmission de lumière, de coupler ou non ces fibres de distribution de lumière à un circuit conducteur de façon à permettre une interaction avec le central numérique. Les figures 6a et 6b représentent deux formes de fibre de diffusion de lumière. La figure 6a représente un cabre coaxial avec une fibre de transmission de lumière (40) au centre et un circuit conducteur (55) qui l'entoure. La figure 6b, représente une fibre de transmission de lumière (40) avec adjacent un circuit conducteur (55) qui est un câble conducteur. Les figures 7a et 7b représentent de face et de profil une figurine selon la variante interactive de l'invention. Dans cette variante, les fibres de transmission de lumière sont conductrices et viennent d'une première part depuis la semelle en contact avec l'écran capacitif et traversent la figurine jusqu'à une sortie sur sa périphérie extérieure. Cette sortie permet de diffuser la lumière émise par l'écran à travers la fibre optique. Une surface conductrice de figurine (60) autour de cette sortie est à la fois conductrice et en contact avec le circuit conducteur (55). En touchant cette surface l'utilisateur transmet donc une impulsions qui est reçue par l'écran capacitif et qui est traité par le circuit de commande numérique. Cette impulsion électrique permet de transmettre une information spécifique à l'écran. La figure 8 représente une figurine à multiple zone de diffusion de lumière selon l'invention, qui dans ce cas comprend trois zones d'émission de lumière avec en périphérie de chacune de ces zones une zone conductrice qui détecte le toucher de la figurine par l'utilisateur. Il est ainsi facilement envisageable de pouvoir créer une interaction entre la figurine qui peur par exemple émettre une couleur rouge sur l'épaule, une couleur orange sur le torse et une couleur verte sur le visage. En touchant telle ou telle zone de la figurine, l'utilisateur transmet telle ou telle instruction au circuit de commande numérique. La figurine peut être une figurine de jeu. Elle peut également être un meuble, un ustensile. Plusieurs figurines différentes peuvent être connectées sur le même terminal numérique. Il est ainsi créé une interaction lumineuse / conductrice entre l'écran capacitif, la ou les figurines et l'utilisateur. Les figurines peuvent être posées hors de l'écran, le seul câble conducteur et transmetteur de lumière est branché sur l'écran. Il est déroulé puis vient enfin de ficher à travers de la figurine pour sortir sur sa zone conductrice. Il est par exemple envisageable de mailler un domicile avec plusieurs circuits de distribution de lumière interactif qui permettent par exemple de créer une domotique interactive. FIG. 8 represents a figurine with a multiple light scattering zone according to the invention. FIG. 1 represents a top view of a terminal (1) with a figurine (20) placed on the capacitive screen (2) of the terminal. The terminal includes manual control buttons (3) and control buttons through the interface of the capacitive screen that transmits information to the processor (41). FIG. 2 represents a principle profile view of the light interaction between the screen (2) and the figurine (20). The figure (20) is placed by its sole (30) on the capacitive screen (2). To be recognized by the screen (2) the figurine transmits energy to the screen, autonomously if the figurine includes a battery or a battery, non-autonomously and the figurine is then conductive from the figurine head (31). ) to the sole (30) and must then be touched by the user. When the figurine has been recognized by the processor (41), the processor (41) which dialogs with the game software that is active on the screen transmits an order to the light source (42) of the screen, to emit light in a specific way. The emitted light may be directed under the sole of the figurine, it is a so-called figurine light (43), or outside the figurine sole surface (44), it is then called a tray light (44). The figurine light (43) can give a simple playful aspect to the figurine. She can also give game instructions. Example: Red to immobilize or Green to advance. It can also give direction instructions as shown in figure 3 represents a view from above, by dividing the leading light (31) of figurine in a particular direction (N, S, E, O). The figurine (43) and the tray light (44) light instructions can be cleverly coupled in a game. The examples are numerous and numerous. As for example simply to illustrate: Head of figurine which indicates a red or green indication and light of plateau which indicates a displacement to carry out on a box to reach for the figurine which is green. This invention makes it possible to create many puzzle games. It also gives a playful aspect to the game with figurines that become animated and a tray that is also animated. Figures 3b and 3c show a variant of the invention in which the figures are decorative utensils. For example, the house of ghosts, which is alternately lighted at one place or another so as to let out light through a window (38), see figure 3c, or by another. The canalization of the light being obtained by the conjugation of partition inside the figurine delimiting several closed spaces and several sources of lights that emit alternately under each of the closed spaces. We therefore see the variant with Figure 3a which proposes to transmit light a light source at the top of the figurine, with the variant of Figure 3b, 3c which proposes to channel several sources of light through several paths in the figurine / utensil. Figure 4a is a profile of the figurine (20) with a light transmitting fiber (40), which is preferably an optical fiber of known type, which passes through the figure from the sole (30) to the head (31). In this version the light transmitting fiber (40) can be made by means of different types, such as for example a reflection on the walls or a hole cleverly arranged at the head of the tube. The figurine light (43) is therefore well transmitted from the light source (42) to the figurine head (31). The figurine 4b represents a profile of the figurine (20) with a light-transmitting fiber (40), which is preferably an optical fiber of known type, which passes through the figurine from the sole (30) to an exit at the top (31). The variant of Figure 4b compared to that of Figure 4a is that the fiber is bent so that the output is on the side of the figure and necessarily on the top. This variant allows particular playful effects such as that of reproducing a face that appears in the classical physical configuration of positioning on a character, see front figure 4c. FIG. 4d represents a variant of the invention in which the light flux (40) which comes from the capacitive screen passes through a first lens (Ll) positioned on the sole of the figurine, inside the figurine, a mirror set (M) returns this light to an exit on the figurine. At the exit of the figurine is positioned a second lens (L2) which diffracts the image to retranscribe it in a desired way. Figure 5 shows a bottom view of the figurine sole with the optical fiber which comes to find its sole end positioned between a signature (50) with conductive pins. The function of the pins is to serve as an authentication grid, signature, the identity of the figurine. The light transmitting fiber input head (40) is preferably positioned in the center of the sole (30) between the pins (50). The figure in Figure 3b will include several sources of light under the sole of the figure. The challenge is to have the instep signature conductive pimples collaborate with the light catches. Fig. 5b shows a form of the invention in which the light transmitting fiber (40) is interactive and coupled with a conductive network (55). In this form, the sole of the figure may include several light fiber input heads that will diffuse, see Figure 8, on several different outputs on the outer surface of the figure. Of course, the sole of the figurine may be a composition of the sole of Figure 5a, authentication grid and fiber head with that of Figure 5b, plurality of conductive fiber head. Depending on the desired application, it is possible to have or not an insole, to have or not several light transmission fibers, to couple or not these light distribution fibers to a driver circuit of to allow interaction with the digital exchange. Figures 6a and 6b show two forms of light scattering fiber. Fig. 6a shows a coaxial nose wheel with a light transmitting fiber (40) in the center and a surrounding conductor circuit (55). Figure 6b shows a light transmitting fiber (40) with adjacent a conductive circuit (55) which is a conductive cable. Figures 7a and 7b show front and side a figurine according to the interactive variant of the invention. In this variant, the light transmission fibers are conductive and come from a first part from the sole in contact with the capacitive screen and through the figurine to an output on its outer periphery. This output makes it possible to diffuse the light emitted by the screen through the optical fiber. A conductive pattern surface (60) around this outlet is both conductive and in contact with the conductive circuit (55). By touching this surface the user therefore transmits a pulse which is received by the capacitive screen and which is processed by the digital control circuit. This electrical pulse makes it possible to transmit specific information to the screen. FIG. 8 represents a multiple light scattering zone figurine according to the invention, which in this case comprises three light emission zones with, at the periphery of each of these zones, a conductive zone which detects the touch of the figurine by 'user. It is thus easily conceivable to be able to create an interaction between the figurine which for example emits a red color on the shoulder, an orange color on the torso and a green color on the face. By touching this or that area of the figurine, the user transmits this or that instruction to the digital control circuit. The figurine can be a play figure. It can also be a piece of furniture, a utensil. Several different figurines can be connected to the same digital terminal. A luminous / conductive interaction is thus created between the capacitive screen, the figurine (s) and the user. The figures can be put off the screen, the only cable conductor and light transmitter is connected to the screen. It is unrolled then finally comes to file through the figurine to exit on its conductive area. For example, it is possible to mesh a home with several interactive light distribution circuits that allow for example to create an interactive home automation.
