DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of a first embodiment of the target touch game machine according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the score counting circuit shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a target touch according to the present invention. It is an explanatory view showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the game machine.
First, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 will be described. In the figure, 1 is a transparent touch panel, 11 to 14 are transparent electrode plates, 110 to 140 are resistors, 10 is a display, 2 is a display control circuit, 3 is a scoring circuit, 4 is a DC power supply 40 and the player is playing This is a power supply unit including the electrode 41 touched by hand.

The touch panel 1 is provided in a target touch game machine (not shown). A display 10 is disposed on the back side of the touch panel 1, and transparent electrode plates 11 to 14 are disposed at appropriate positions on the front side. Are placed, each with a resistance of 110 to 1
Grounded through 40. The display 10 displays an image of a game field based on a command from the display control circuit 2 described later, and displays an image of a target character of the game, that is, an image of a target at a certain position of the transparent electrode plate. Things.

[0009] The target image is an image of a target to be touched such as a mole or a gang that appears and disappears at random when the game is a target hitting game. It is an image of a card such as a card, a treasure hidden in a treasure hunting game, a place where a child is hiding in a hide-and-seek game, a wrong portion of a picture in a game for finding a mistake in a picture, and the like.

Hereinafter, a mole hitting game will be described. The display control circuit 2 includes a CPU 20 and a display driver 21. The CPU 20, for the display 10, based on a required program, a signal for displaying an image of the game field on the display 10, and a signal for causing a target image such as a mole to appear at a predetermined position therein, The data is transmitted via the display driver 21. In addition, the CPU 20 sends a signal of state 1 to the score counting circuit 3 described later for each region where the target can appear and disappear when the target appears.

The player holds the electrode 41 in his hand during the game, and hits the corresponding transparent electrode with his hand when an image appears. Now, if the player touches the transparent electrode 11, the voltage of the transparent electrode 11 increases, and the resistance 11
Current flows to zero. The scoring circuit 3 includes monostable elements 301 to 304, a scoring circuit 31, a deduction circuit 32, and a scoring register 33.

The monostable elements 301 to 304 are connected to the transparent electrode plate 11
To 14, each monostable element 30
1 to 304 are the corresponding transparent electrode plates 11 to 14, respectively.
When the player's hand touches and the voltage rises, a very short pulse signal in state 1 is transmitted. Additional circuit 31
Are AND gates 311 to 314 provided corresponding to the monostable elements 301 to 304, respectively, and one OR gate 315 having outputs of the AND gates 311 to 314 as inputs.
Consists of

The inputs of these AND gates 311 to 314 are the outputs from the corresponding monostable elements 301 to 304 and the pulse signals sent from the CPU 20 and indicating the target appearing state in the corresponding areas. When the output signals of the monostable elements 301 to 304 and the output signal from the CPU 20 simultaneously enter the state 1, the AND gates 311 to 314 output the state 1, and the output pulse passes through the OR gate 315. It is supplied to the addition terminal of the register 33.

For this reason, when the player correctly touches the appearing mole, the score is added to the score register 33. The deduction circuit 32 has substantially the same configuration as the score circuit 31, but differs from the score circuit 31 in that input negators 331 to 334 are provided at the input terminals of the AND gates 321 to 324 on the CPU 20 side.

For this reason, when the player touches any of the transparent electrode plates 11 to 14 on which the mole is not displayed, the output of the AND gate corresponding to the transparent electrode plate becomes state 1, and the output of the AND gate is output. Is or gate 3
The signal is input to the subtraction terminal of the score register 33 via 24. Therefore, when the player takes a hand, points are deducted.

Next, FIG. 3 will be described. This embodiment is a fighting game machine with two players, in which it is possible to determine which of the players touches the transparent electrode plate first, and further, it is possible to count the score for each player. In the figure, 50 is a transparent touch panel, 501
To 504 are transparent electrode plates, 511 to 514 are bi-threshold detectors, 521 to 524 are monostable elements, 53 is a CPU, 541 to
544 is an AND gate, 55 is an OR gate, 560 and 561 are AND gates, 570 and 571 are counters, 580 and 590 are electrodes, 581 and 591 are double threshold detectors, 582 and 592 are inhibit circuits.

As in the first embodiment, the touch panel 50 has a display (not shown) on its back side, and has transparent electrode plates 501 to 504 connected to the ground via resistors on its front side. The display shows the CPU53
An image of the target controlled by the camera is displayed. These transparent electrode plates 501 to 504 have a bi-threshold detector 511 to 514 and a monostable element 521, respectively.
To 524 and AND gates 541 to 544 are sequentially connected.

As in the first embodiment, a target appearance signal is sent from the CPU 53 to each of the AND gates 541 to 544 when the target appears in a predetermined area. . Each AND gate 541 or 544
Is connected to one OR gate 55, and OR gate 55 is
Connected to AND gates 560 and 561 and AND gate 56
Counters 570 and 571 are connected to 0 and 561, respectively.

The electrodes 580 and 590 are grounded via a resistor and a DC power supply, respectively, and a bi-threshold detector 581 and 580 are connected between the electrodes 580 and 590 and the resistor connected thereto, respectively. 591 is connected. One dual threshold detector 581
Is connected to the signal input terminal of one inhibitor circuit 582 and the inhibit input terminal of the other one inhibitor circuit 592, and the other one of the dual threshold value detectors 591 is connected to the signal input terminal of the one inhibitor circuit 592. Terminal and the inhibit input terminal of the other one of the inhibit circuits 582. Outputs of these inhibit circuits 582 and 592 are input to AND gates 560 and 561, respectively.

In this target touch game machine, one player A (not shown) touches the electrode 580 and the other player B
Is played by touching the transparent electrode on which the target appears while touching the electrode 590. When the player A touches the transparent electrode plate 501, for example, the circuit closes and the transparent electrode plate 5
The voltage of 01 rises, the bi-threshold detector 511 is triggered, the monostable element 521 generates a very short state 1 pulse, and the signal of that pulse is sent to the AND gate 541.

At this time, if a signal of state 1 indicating that the target is displayed on the display in the area corresponding to the transparent electrode plate 501 is input from the CPU 53, the AND gate 541 changes the state to the OR gate 55. 1 signal is sent out,
Further, the signal of the state 1 is transmitted from the OR gate 55 receiving the signal to the AND gates 560 and 561. At the same time, the double threshold detector 581 is triggered, and a signal of state 1 is sent to the signal input terminal of the inhibit circuit 582 and the inhibit input terminal of the inhibit circuit 592.

At this time, when the player B does not touch the transparent electrode plate 501 before the player A, the double threshold detector 591 is not triggered, and the inhibit input of the inhibit circuit 582 is set to the state 0. , So the dual threshold detector
The output of 581 is AND gated through inhibit circuit 582
Enter 560. Therefore, at this time, the output of the OR gate 55 is counted by the counter 570 through the AND gate 560, and the point of the player A is added. However, the output of the OR gate 55 cannot pass through the AND gate 561, and the counter 571 operates. do not do.

Also, even if player B touches transparent electrode plate 501 after player A touches transparent electrode plate 501, the output pulse of double threshold detector 591 is not changed because inhibitor circuit 592 is already closed. The output of the AND gate 561 is in the state 0 even when the output of the OR gate 55 is in the state 1 because the signal cannot pass through the inhibit circuit 592, and the counter 571 does not operate. Similarly, if the player B correctly touches the target first, the score is added only to the counter 571 for calculating the score of the player B. When the players A and B touch the target at the same time, an appropriate delay element is provided in each logic element to add points to both players or not to add points to both. be able to.

The configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a mole hitting game is shown, but the target is limited to the mole. Instead, it may be a gang that appears in the city area, etc.Also, display a sign such as Hundred Ninja, Iroha Karuta on the display, make the computer read the reading aloud, and have multiple players play the karting. It is also possible to devise various other games.

In the above embodiment, when the target is touched, each point is scored. However, the score can be appropriately changed according to the character of the touched target. You can attach a handicap,
In addition, it may be configured to be able to be played by a large number of players of three or more, and furthermore, it is also possible to be able to be played by a large number of players at the same time by using a plurality of game machines provided at remote locations. .
