  Patent Publication 2014-207585

  The present invention provides an assembly kit for an electronic game device for the purpose of improving the functions of elderly people, which can be easily made by elementary and junior high school students who are grandchildren.

  Conventionally, there are many electronic game machines for rehabilitation of elderly people, but elderly people played games alone. Therefore, I was tired and could not enjoy it. The present invention can be easily made by children, and the electronic game device thus made it possible for elderly people and children to enjoy together. And the game here is not the traditional competition type, but the elderly and children work together to complete the task. Therefore, elderly people can enjoy it carefully. The present invention has been devised to eliminate the above drawbacks.

The present invention provides a kit in which parts are modularized so that it can be easily made by elementary and junior high school students who are grandchildren of elderly people. The kit includes a case (1), a control board (2), a switch board (3), and accessory parts. The control board is put in the case (1), and the assembly is completed by attaching the switch board (3) to the upper surface of the case (1), so it can be easily made for elementary and junior high school students.
In the present invention, the game type can be selected by the game selection means using a pair of a lighting device (LED or the like) and a push button switch, so that a plurality of games can be enjoyed.
Since the present invention has a function of becoming a master unit when the start switch (also used as a transmission switch) (9) is pressed within a predetermined time, and becomes a slave unit when not pressed, The game can be enjoyed by preparing the same two devices without producing the master device and the slave device separately.
The present invention has an infrared transmission device (6) and a reception device (5), and can communicate between the parent device and the child device. The code is transmitted from the parent device to the child device, and the child device can receive a corresponding problem and provide a game for processing the corresponding problem.
The present invention gives a task, and processing the task alternately repeats each other. When the process is repeated a predetermined number of times, the score calculation means displays the number of repetitions on the score display device (4), A lighting device (LED or the like) (8) can be lit in a predetermined pattern, or a music melody can be played from the buser (12).
The present invention is an assembly kit for an electronic game machine having the above-described configuration.

The present invention has an effect of deepening exchanges with children because it is a game in which an elderly person and a child give each other problems, process them, and enjoy collaborative work.
In addition, since the assembly kit for the electronic game device of the present invention can be easily produced at a low price, grandchildren of elementary and junior high school students can present it to grandparents. Elderly people presented by grandchildren feel the bonds of their families and use them for a long time, so the rehabilitation effect of the elderly is great.
Furthermore, several kinds of games can be enjoyed, and fun lighting and music can be enjoyed from the lighting device and the buzzer at the end of the game, so that it does not get bored.

  It is a form block diagram of this invention.   It is a circuit block diagram of the present invention.

A configuration for implementing the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and described below.
The case (1) is made of resin and prepared. In the case, there are a display device substrate (4) and a control substrate (2). The control board is mounted with an MPU (13), a digital IC, a resistor, and a capacitor in which a program is built in advance on an electronic board on which a wiring pattern is printed. A battery for power supply or an external power supply circuit (not shown) is in the case.
A switch board (3) is prepared. The switch board is an electronic board on which a wiring pattern is printed. On the switch board, the LED (8) and the push button switch (7) are arranged in pairs (may be combined). Further, a transmission device (5) and a reception device (6), a start switch (or transmission switch) (9), and a reset switch (9) of the MPU (13) are mounted. From the switch board, there is a wire harness connected to the control board. A switch board can be mounted outside the case. The present invention is configured as described above. In addition, the purchaser of the present invention can easily assemble the above components into an electronic game device.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram. When the power is turned on, the MPU (13) turns on the LEDs (8) one by one in order at a high speed (for example, 100 ms). At the same time, the state of the switch (7) paired with the LED (8) is detected. If the switch (7b) corresponding to the second LED is detected when the second LED (8b) is lit, a buzzer sound is sounded to indicate acceptance, and the first game (two-player game) is executed. After that, if the start switch (9) is pressed within 5 seconds, it becomes the parent machine. If it is a parent machine, a display indicating that it is a parent machine is displayed on the display device (4). If the start switch (9) is not pressed within 5 seconds, the slave unit is selected. If it is a slave, a display indicating that it is a slave is displayed on the display device (4). When the game player of the parent machine sets a task, the MPU detects the state of the switch (7) of the parent machine. For example, when the switch (7a) and the switch (7c) are pressed, the MPU turns on the LEDs (8a and 8c) and converts the switch state into a code (0101). When the MPU detects the transmission switch (9), it adds the start bit and stop bit to the code (0101) from the infrared LED (6) and transmits it to the slave unit, and displays the transmission operation on the display device (4) together with a buzzer sound. Then, change from the main unit to the sub unit.

  Here, when the switch (7a) is pressed, the code sets (0001) and the rightmost bit to “1”, and when the switch (7b) is pressed (0010), sets the second bit to “1”. If the switch (7c) is pressed (0100), each switch is associated with each bit so that the third bit is “1”.

  The MPU of the original slave unit receives the code (0101) from the original master unit by the infrared module (5). When received, it is displayed on the display device (4) together with a buzzer sound. The MPU of the slave unit decodes the corresponding code (0101) and turns on the LEDs (8a and 8c) corresponding to the corresponding code of the LED (8) of the own unit. The game implementer of the child machine presses the switch that is paired with the LED that is lit. This is called problem processing. The MPU of the slave unit detects the switch (7a and 7c) paired with the LED that is lit, understands that the problem has been processed, and turns off the LED (8a and 8c). The MPU changes itself from the slave unit to the master unit and enters a task setting waiting state. The game executor who becomes the parent machine from the child machine presses the switch (7) to set a task. The MPU detects the state of the subject switch (7) and converts the state of the switch into a code. When the MPU detects the transmission switch (9), the MPU transmits a code from the infrared LED (6) to the slave unit, displays the transmission state together with the buzzer sound on the display device (4), and changes the master unit to the slave unit.

  The MPU counts the number of times it becomes a master unit, and when it reaches 5 times, for example, it displays “10” on the display device (4) which is a 7 segment LED, for example, and from the buzzer, music such as “frog song” ". Since the two game devices are in turn five times in sequence, the “frog song” will sound in sequence. In the “frog song”, the frequency and length of each note are stored in advance in a program array, and the MPU sequentially reads the array and outputs the corresponding sound from the buzzer.

  When the power is turned on and the MPU detects the switch (7a), the second game is executed as a child machine, and when the switch (7c) is detected, the second game is executed as the parent machine. When detecting that the start switch (9) has been pressed, the MPU of the parent machine starts the second game. The MPU lights one arbitrary LED, for example. For example, (8b). Then, it waits to receive a signal from the infrared module (5).

  The slave MPU detects the state of the switch (7). For example, when detecting (7b), it generates the code (0010), transmits the code (0010) from the infrared LED (6), and simultaneously generates a buzzer sound. It is shown to a display apparatus (4) that it received together. The number of transmissions is, for example, 20 consecutive times.

  When receiving the code (0010) from the slave unit, the MPU of the master unit waiting for reception of the infrared module (5) displays the reception status together with the buzzer sound on the display device (4), If it coincides with the existing LED (8b), a confirmation buzzer sounds. Then, the next LED is arbitrarily selected and turned on, and the signal of the infrared module (5) is waited to be received.

  The MPU of the master unit counts the number of times that the correspondence between the received code from the slave unit and the LED that is lit is the same, for example, when it reaches 10, it displays “10” on the display device (4), From the buzzer, play music, for example, “frog song”.

  For example, PIC16F88 is used as the MPU, and the program is created in C language, for example.
