  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of management control data managed in the game server 10 according to the present embodiment.

  In the game system according to the present embodiment, management control data for determining whether or not the airsoft gun used in the game is inappropriate is set so that the airsoft gun can be used safely in the game apparatus 20. The management control data is set with the bullet speed of the BB bullets fired from the airsoft gun, or the reference value for energy, and the processing content executed when the reference value is exceeded. In the present embodiment, a plurality of different reference values, for example, a first reference value, a second reference value, and a third reference value are set, and the processing content in game control corresponding to each is set. The game apparatus 20 outputs a notification corresponding to the reference value when the bullet speed or energy of the BB bullet detected during the game exceeds a preset reference value. This makes it possible to notify not only players but also other employees such as store employees to confirm that the use of an inappropriate airsoft gun that exceeds a predetermined power limit even during game execution. be able to.

  For example, the first reference value is a reference value for discriminating an airsoft gun that is not permitted to be used by law. For example, 0.989 J (6 mmBB bullet use) is set for energy. The second reference value is a reference value for determining whether a warning or the like needs to be notified to the player or the employee regarding the use of the airsoft gun. As the second reference value, for example, a publicly set value is used, and a reference value corresponding to a power upper limit set by a youth protection and nurturing ordinance in a prefecture or a self-regulatory group of airsoft guns is used. As the third reference value, for example, a reference value corresponding to the power upper limit determined uniquely for the entire game system, for each store, or for each game device 20 is set.

  The first to third reference values and the processing content corresponding to each reference value can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the game server 10 can change the reference value set in the management control data and the data indicating the processing content by the operation of the administrator or the like. The management control data set in the game server 10 is transmitted to the game device 20 at a predetermined timing. The game device 20 stores the management control data received from the game server 10 in the storage device 32 or the memory 31, and controls the game based on the management control data.

  It should be noted that the first reference value and the second reference value can be changed to a value lower than the upper limit of power set by statutory, ordinance, or regulatory body.

In addition, the range where the light 38 (LED panel) of the upper front impact absorbing member 74 is provided is transparent or colored and translucent so that light can be easily transmitted.

  An upper surface member 75 is horizontally provided on the upper surface of the upper casing 51. As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the upper surface member 75 protrudes more than the size (diameter) of the BB bullet on the front side than the shock absorber 74 for the upper front surface, that is, on the surface side where the BB bullet is introduced. A returning member 75a is provided. The return member 75a is provided in contact with the upper end portion of the upper front shock absorbing member 74 so that there is no gap between the return member 75a and the upper front shock absorbing member 74. The return member 75a moves downward when the BB bullet that collides with the upper front shock absorbing member 74 jumps upward along the surface of the upper front shock absorbing member 74 due to the rotation of the BB bullet or the like. I try to bounce it back. The BB bullet bounced back by the return member 75a falls on the bullet collection plate 86. By providing the return member 75a on the upper front shock absorbing member 74, it is possible to prevent the BB bullets colliding with the upper front shock absorbing member 74 from being scattered upward.

FIG. 7 is a side view showing the front-rear relationship between the display 34 and the sheet-like member 72.
A display 34 on which the target image is displayed is provided inside the opening. The outer shape of the display 34 is formed in a rectangular shape, and a rectangular frame-shaped support member 76 provided to support the sheet-like member 72 is provided along the outer periphery of the display 34. The support member 76 is formed by an upper side support member 76U, a lower side support member 76D, a left side support member 76L, and a right side support member 76R, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, an upper side support member 76U and a lower side support member 76D are shown.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the support member 76 is provided to support the sheet-like member 72 at a position close to the display surface of the display 34. The acoustic sensor 48 is disposed at a position slightly separated from the sheet-like member 72 supported by the support member 76. In FIG. 7, two acoustic sensors 48-2 and 48-4 are shown.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a frame impact absorbing member 73 (73 </ b> L, 73 </ b> R) is provided on the front side of the sheet-like member 72. The shock absorbing members 73L and 73R for the frame are strip-shaped members provided on the front side along the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R of the support member 76, respectively.

  The frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R are formed of a member capable of absorbing the impact at the time of the collision of the BB bullet, and can be made of, for example, a soft vinyl chloride resin having a thickness of 2.0 mm. The frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R are formed to be transparent, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the frame impact absorbing member 73R is constituted by an upper support member 74R provided at a position higher than the upper side support member 76U and a lower support member 75R provided at a position lower than the lower side support member 76D. The plate is fixed in a plane at a position separated from the sheet-like member 72 (support member 76) in a state of being stretched so as to be substantially vertical. The upper support member 74R and the lower support member 75R are provided on the extension lines in the vertical direction of the right side support member 76R, respectively.

  Similarly, the sheet impact member 73L is stretched so as to be substantially vertical by an upper support member and a lower support member provided on an extension line in the vertical direction of the left side support member 76L. It is fixed in a plane at a position separated from the (support member 76).

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the upper periphery of the lower housing 50.
As shown in FIG. 8, the shock absorbing members 73L and 73R for the frame are fixed at positions separated from the sheet-like member 72 (support member 76). The BB bullets colliding with the frame shock absorbing members 73L and 73R fall on the bullet collecting plate 86 and are collected.

  As described above, by providing the frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R for absorbing the impact caused by the collision of the BB bullets on the front side of the support member 76 (the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R), the support member 76 has the BB. It is possible to avoid bullets colliding and bouncing back. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the upper support member and the lower support member for fixing the shock absorbing members 73L and 73R for the frame have a small fixing surface (contact area), so the possibility that the BB bullets collide is low. The possibility of scattering bullets can be reduced.

  In the configuration of the game apparatus 20 in the present embodiment, the upper side support member 76U of the support member 76 is in a position hidden from the BB bullet introduction direction (airsoft gun) by the upper front impact absorbing member 74. Further, the lower side support member 76D is in a position hidden from the BB bullet introduction direction (airsoft gun) by the lower front impact absorbing member 60 described later (see FIGS. 8 and 10). Accordingly, no frame shock absorbing member is provided on the front side of the upper side support member 76U and the lower side support member 76D. When the upper side support member 76U and the lower side support member 76D are provided at positions where the BB bullets collide, the frame corresponding to the upper side support member 76U and the lower side support member 76D, respectively, in the same manner as the frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R. An impact absorbing member may be provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a lower front shock absorbing member 60 is provided on the front surface of the lower housing 50. The lower front impact absorbing member 60 is formed of a member capable of absorbing the impact when the BB bullet collides, and can be made of, for example, a soft vinyl chloride resin having a thickness of 2.0 mm. Thereby, the impact by the collision of the BB bullet can be absorbed and rebound can be suppressed. It is possible to use a material other than soft vinyl chloride resin as long as it is a member that can absorb the impact at the time of the collision of the BB bullet. The lower front impact absorbing member 60 can be transparent or colored translucent, for example, to transmit light from the modifying light 38 (LED panel) accommodated in the lower housing 50.

  The lower front shock absorbing member 60 is provided so as to be inclined so that the upper end side protrudes forward from the lower end side. That is, the lower front shock absorbing member 60 is arranged so that the surface of the lower front impact absorbing member 60 faces obliquely downward and forward, so that the BB bullets fired from the airsoft gun fall downward. Accordingly, the BB bullets that have landed on the lower front shock absorbing member 60 are dropped and held on the shock absorbing object holding member 53 provided on the lower front side of the lower housing 50.

  As shown in FIG. 8, an operation panel 80, a bullet collecting plate 86, an opening 88, and the like are provided on the upper surface of the lower housing 50. The upper surface portion of the lower housing 50 is formed with the front side higher, and the operation panel 80 is provided at the front side end. The operation panel 80 is formed with a horizontal plane or an inclined surface with a slightly lower rear side, and is provided with, for example, a left button 81, a right button 82, an enter button 83, a coin slot 84, and a card reader 45 (member code reading unit). .

  The bullet collecting plate 86 is formed with an inclined surface so that the front side is raised and the BB bullet falls to the rear side (the back side of the lower housing 50). The bullet collection plate 86 is for collecting the BB bullets that have fallen by colliding with the sheet-like member 72 or the frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R, and an elastic member that absorbs the impact of the dropped BB bullets is used. For example, the bullet collecting plate 86 uses a member having a small friction coefficient on the front surface so that the BB bullets can easily fall along the inclined surface, and a member that absorbs impact on the back surface thereof.

  At the rear end of the bullet collecting plate 86, for example, an opening 88 extending in the left-right direction is provided over the entire lateral width of the bullet collecting plate 86. The opening 88 collects the BB bullet that has fallen due to the inclination of the bullet collecting plate 86 into the casing. Below the opening 88, a bullet collection rail (not shown) is provided across the entire width of the bullet collection plate 86, and the BB bullets that have dropped into the opening 88 are arranged in, for example, a single row. Guide to the housing of the housing 50. The bullet recovery rail is provided to be inclined in the guiding direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, lower side impact absorbing members 61 </ b> L and 61 </ b> R are provided on the side surface of the lower housing 50. The lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R are formed of a member capable of absorbing the impact at the time of collision of the BB bullet, like the lower front impact absorbing member 60. For example, the soft chloride having a thickness of 2.0 mm is used. It can be composed of a vinyl resin. Since the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R are thin members, the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R are fixed by pressing from the outside of the side surfaces with plate-like fixing members 62L and 62R.

  Thereby, the impact by the collision of the BB bullet can be absorbed and rebound can be suppressed. It is possible to use a material other than soft vinyl chloride resin as long as it is a member that can absorb the impact at the time of the collision of the BB bullet. Further, the lower front shock absorbing member 60 is provided so as to be in close contact with the lower front shock absorbing member 60 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the lower front shock absorbing member 60.

  The lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R protrude from the surface of the lower front impact absorbing member 60 in the front direction. Accordingly, for example, a BB bullet is fired from an oblique direction to the lower front impact absorbing member 60 by an airsoft gun, and the BB bullet colliding with the lower front impact absorbing member 60 is rotated by the action of the BB bullet or the like. When it bounces in the left-right direction along the surface of the impact absorbing member 60 for impact, it collides with the impact absorbing members 61L, 61R for the lower side surface. The BB bullets that collide with the lower-side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R fall due to the impact being absorbed and the kinetic energy decreasing. The BB bullets colliding with the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R are dropped and held on the impact absorbing object holding member 53 provided at the lower part on the front side of the lower casing 50. By providing the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R, it is possible to prevent the BB bullets colliding with the lower front impact absorbing member 60 from being scattered in the lateral direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 8, plate-like spacer members 64 </ b> L and 64 </ b> R are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the lower housing 50, and plate-like spacers are provided on the upper left and right side surfaces of the upper housing 51. Members 63L and 63R are provided. The spacer members 64L and 64R and the spacer members 63L and 63R have a plate thickness larger than the diameter of the BB bullet, for example, have the same thickness. The upper side impact absorbing member 70L is fixed by a thin plate-like fixing member 65L on the outer surface of the spacer member 64L in the lower housing 50, and is thin on the outer surface of the spacer member 63L in the upper housing 51. It is fixed by 66L. Further, the upper side impact absorbing member 70L is fixed in the vicinity of the rear surface of the side surface of the upper casing 51 in the range from the upper end to the lower end without the spacer member 64L being sandwiched by the fixing member 67L. Similarly, the upper side impact absorbing member 70R is fixed by a thin plate-like fixing member 65R on the outer surface of the spacer member 64R in the lower housing 50, and a thin plate on the outer surface of the spacer member 63R in the upper housing 51. It is fixed by a fixed member 66R. Further, the upper side impact absorbing member 70R is fixed in the vicinity of the back surface of the side surface of the upper casing 51 without the spacer member 64R being interposed therebetween. By fixing the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R in the vicinity of the back surface of the side surface of the upper casing 51 without sandwiching the spacer members 64L and 64R, the inner sides of the gaps 71L and 71R are narrowed to form the terminal ends. . In this way, in the game apparatus 20, the side surface corresponding to the range of the opening for introducing the BB bullet of the upper housing 51 is formed by the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R.

  Accordingly, the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R are made of, for example, a thin member (soft vinyl chloride resin) having a thickness of 2.0 mm, so that the area on the front side of the game apparatus 20 is small and the BB bullet collides. It becomes difficult. Further, when a BB bullet introduced into the opening from an oblique direction collides with the inside of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R, the repulsive force is smaller than that of a hard member, so that it is difficult to scatter. Become.

  Furthermore, the upper side impact absorbing members 70L, 70R are fixed with the spacer members 63L, 63R, 64L, 64R sandwiched therebetween, so that the structure accommodating the support member 76 and the display 34, and the upper side impact absorbing member 70L. , 70R, gaps 71L, 71R are formed on the left and right, respectively. The gaps 71L and 71R are formed on the front side so as to be wider than the diameter of the BB bullet so that the BB bullet can enter, and the end is formed on the innermost side so that the entered BB bullet is stopped. ing.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the periphery of the gap 71L formed between the upper-surface impact absorbing member 70L and the structure.
As shown in FIG. 9, the BB bullet OB7 directed to the target image displayed on the display 34 collides with the sheet-like member 72 and falls. Further, the BB bullet OB8 directed to the left side support member 76L collides with the frame shock absorbing member 73L disposed on the front side of the left side support member 76L and falls.

  Then, the BB bullet OB9 colliding with the inside of the upper side impact absorbing member 70L introduced from the opening enters the gap 71L formed between the upper side impact absorbing member 70L and the structure, and the gap Stop at the back of 71L. The BB bullet OB10 stopped at the back of the gap 71L falls.

  Thus, the gaps 71L and 71R are formed on the left and right, respectively, between the structure accommodating the support member 76 and the display 34 and the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R. It is possible to prevent the BB bullets that have collided with the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R from being scattered. That is, even if the BB bullet colliding with the inside of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R moves in the back direction along the surface of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R by the rotation of the BB bullet, There is no member that rebounds in the direction, and the BB bullet OB9 shown in FIG. 9 enters the gaps 71L and 71R. Since the depths of the gaps 71L and 71R are narrow, the movement of the BB bullet can be reliably stopped.

  Moreover, although not shown in figure, the collection | recovery mechanism which collect | recovers the BB bullets which entered the gaps 71L and 71R can be further provided. For example, an accommodation tray that collects falling BB bullets is provided in the lower part of the gaps 71L and 71R, or a guide path that guides the BB bullets to the inside of the lower housing 50 is provided, and collected by the bullet collection plate 86. Together with the BB bullets, they are discharged to the storage tray 54.

  In the present embodiment, the gaps 71L and 71R are provided on the left and right sides of the structure housing the support member 76 and the display 34. However, the gap may be provided above and below the structure. That is, you may make it provide the clearance gap which a BB bullet can approach around the structure which accommodates the display 34 (target) which displays a target image.

  In addition, a light 38a, such as a laser light (laser pointer), that can clearly recognize the irradiation position (point) or irradiation range of light is provided at the center of the upper surface of the upper casing 51. The light 38a is provided so as to irradiate a position or range of a predetermined distance in the front direction of the game apparatus 20 in order to present a standing position to the player who operates the airsoft gun. The lower front impact absorbing member 60 is provided with an opening so that light irradiation from the light 38a is not hindered.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the reach range of the BB bullets fired from the airsoft gun with respect to the game apparatus 20.
In FIG. 10, an average position where a BB bullet is fired from the airsoft gun operated by the player is indicated by a point SP.

  As described above, on the front side of the game apparatus 20, a member that absorbs an impact by the collision of the BB bullet is provided over the entire surface. That is, in the upper casing 51, an upper front impact absorbing member 74 is provided at the upper portion, and a sheet-like member 72 and a sheet-like member 72 arranged on the entire surface of the display 34 are provided in the opening into which the BB bullet is introduced. Are provided on the front surface of the support member 76 that supports the frame. Therefore, the BB bullets in the range AR1 to AR2 shown in FIG. 10 aimed at the target image displayed on the display 34 can be collected by the bullet collection plate 86 by absorbing the impact caused by the collision.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the lower front shock absorbing member 60 is provided at a height that hides the operation panel 80, the bullet collecting plate 86, and the opening 88 of the lower housing 50 from the point SP. Therefore, there is no possibility that the BB bullets directly collide with the operation panel 80, the bullet collection plate 86, and the opening 88 and the BB bullets are scattered.

  Further, when the BB bullets in the range AR2 to AR3 collide with the lower front shock absorbing member 60, the shock is absorbed by the lower front shock absorbing member 60 and dropped and held by the shock absorbing object holding member 53. Is done. Even if the BB bullets land directly on the shock absorbing object holding member 53, the shock absorbing object holding member 53 can absorb the shock and hold the BB bullets. The detailed structure and operational effects of the shock absorbing object holding member 53 will be described later (FIGS. 14 to 16).

  FIG. 10 shows the laser light LL emitted from the light 38a. The laser light LL presents the standing position SPL of the player who operates the airsoft gun in the front direction of the game apparatus 20, for example. The player can recognize the standing position by the laser light LL from the light 38a. Therefore, in the store 14, there is no need to install a line or the like for causing the player to recognize the standing position for each of the game apparatuses 20. In particular, even if the shooting position differs depending on the type of shooting game, the position according to the shooting game is presented by the laser light LL emitted from the light 38a, so that it does not cause a load on store employees. .

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, the light 38a is provided at a height corresponding to the lower body of the player, and the laser light LL is irradiated obliquely downward, so that the player may be irradiated with the laser light LL. There is no. For this reason, safety can be reliably ensured even when a laser light (laser pointer) is used.

Next, attachment of the sheet-like member 72 to the support member 76 will be described.
Since the sheet-like member 72 disposed on the front surface of the display 34 is deteriorated by receiving the collision of the BB bullet, it is necessary to replace it appropriately. In the present embodiment, the landing position or the like is detected by detecting the sound when the BB bullet collides with the sheet-like member 72 by the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4. Therefore, even if the sheet-like member 72 is replaced, it is always necessary to fix the sheet-like member 72 in a flat state in a stable state. In addition, it is desired that it can be fixed in a stable state by a simple operation.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the support member 76 (upper side support member 76U, lower side support member 76D, left side support member 76L, right side support member 76R) and the sheet-like member 72.

  As shown in FIG. 11, two attachment / detachment frame members 77L and 77R are provided that are detachably attached to each of a pair of opposite sides of the support member 76 (left side support member 76L, right side support member 76R). The detachable frame members 77L and 77R are fixed, for example, with a plurality of screws, in the vicinity of the ends of the opposite sides corresponding to the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R of the sheet-like member 72 in the detached state. The detachable frame members 77L and 77R are respectively attached to the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R of the support member 80 with the sheet-like member 72 fixed.

  FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing an attachment / detachment frame member 77R in which the sheet-like member 72 is fixed by a plurality of screws 78 and a right side support member 76R.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the right side support member 76R is formed in a shape in which the front side surface and the side surface side are perpendicular to each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the detachable frame member 77R is formed in a straight line, and a cross-sectional shape cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction forms a right angle by the first member and the second member. I am doing. The left side support member 76L and the detachable frame member 77L are configured in the same manner as the right side support member 76R and the detachable frame member 77R, respectively.

  FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13C are views showing an attaching process of the detachable frame members 77L and 77R to which the sheet-like member 72 is fixed to the support member 76 (the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R). is there.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the attachment / detachment frame members 77L and 77R are easy to handle because they are removed from the support member 76. It can be fixed with screws 78.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13B, for example, one of the attachment / detachment frame members 77L is fixed to the left side support member 76L with, for example, a plurality of screws 79. At this time, since the detachable frame member 77R is not fixed, the attaching operation can be easily performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the end of the first surface of the other detachable frame member 77R is brought into contact with the right side support member 76R, and the end of the second surface is indicated by an arrow in the figure. To the side of the right side support member 76R. As a result, the first member of the detachable frame member 77R is in close contact with the front surface of the right side support member 76R, and the second surface of the detachable frame member 77R is in close contact with the side surface of the right side support member 76R. Here, as shown in FIG. 13C, the right side support member 76 </ b> R is fixed by, for example, a plurality of screws 79.

  As shown in FIG. 13B, the sheet-like member 72 can be stretched by moving the end of the second member in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure. Therefore, if the detachable frame members 77L and 77R are fixed in parallel to the sheet-like member 72 at predetermined intervals, the detachable frame members 77L and 77R are attached to the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R. When fixed, the sheet-like member 72 can be fixed to the support member 76 with the predetermined tension determined in advance.

  In this way, the sheet-like member 72 can be fixed to the support member 76 via the detachable frame members 77L and 77R, so that the sheet-like member 72 is fixed in a flat state in a stretched state by a simple operation. It becomes possible to do.

Next, details of the shock absorbing object holding member 53 will be described.
FIG. 14 is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of the impact-absorbing object holding member 53.
As shown in FIG. 14, the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 has a configuration in which a first member 53a and a second member 53b are overlapped and integrated. The first member 53a is provided with closely spaced hair feet 53a1 longer than the size (diameter) of the BB bullet for absorbing the impact at the time of the collision of the BB bullet and holding the BB bullet. The second member 53b is provided integrally with the back surface of the first member 53a, and an air layer 53b1 is formed for absorbing an impact when the BB bullet collides. The bristle foot 53a1 of the first member 53a is provided to have a length sufficiently longer than the diameter size of the BB bullet, for example, three times or more in order to act so as to hold the BB bullet. The appropriate length of the bristle leg 53a1 is determined based on the material (friction coefficient, flexibility, etc.) of the bristle leg 53a1, the expected strength at the time of collision of the BB bullet, and the like.

  The bristles 53a1 provided on the first member 53a are, for example, thin and flexible, and are made of a material having a small friction coefficient with respect to the BB bullet. That is, by gathering the thin and flexible bristle legs 53a1, it is possible to absorb the impact when the BB bullet collides. In addition, by reducing the coefficient of friction of the material of the hair feet 53a1, the BB bullets held between the hair feet 53a1 can be easily dropped by removing the shock absorbing object holding member 53 from the lower housing 50 and shaking it ( Can be removed).

  The second member 53b is formed by stacking, for example, a plurality of thin sheet members at intervals in order to form the air layer 53b1. The thin sheet member has, for example, a raised surface, and an air layer is provided without being in close contact when laminated. The air layer 53b1 can be configured not only by laminating a plurality of thin sheet members but also by filling a fiber material (eg, cotton) having a low density.

  Further, the shock absorbing object holding member 53 is configured to be detachable from the lower housing 50. For example, a member that can be engaged with the engaging member provided in the lower housing 50 can be provided on the bottom surface of the second member 53b so as to be detachable. Further, a member having a large specific gravity and a large friction coefficient (for example, a relatively heavy flat rubber) with respect to the weight of the first member 53a and the second member 53b is attached to the bottom surface of the second member 53b, You may enable it to mount in the front side of the housing | casing 50. FIG. In this case, since the entire shock-absorbing object holding member 53 is heavy, the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 can be easily removed from the lower housing 50 without being moved by the collision of the BB bullet.

  In addition to attaching a relatively heavy flat rubber or the like to the bottom surface of the second member 53b, for example, a coupling member for fixing the second member 53b to the lower housing 50, such as a hook-and-loop fastener, may be provided. good. By fixing the second member 53b with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like, similarly, the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 does not move due to the collision of the BB bullet and can be easily removed from the lower housing 50.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which the BB bullet from the airsoft gun has directly landed on the shock absorbing object holding member 53. FIG. 15 shows a part of a cross section taken along line AA shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 15, the BB bullet that collided with the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 by the track F1 collides with the bristle feet 53a1 of the first member 53a in an oblique direction. Is done. Since the BB bullet is fired at a very high speed, the impact cannot be completely absorbed by the first member 53a alone, and reaches the second member 53b like the BB bullet OB2 shown in FIG.

  Since the second member 53b is provided with an air layer, the second member 53b can be instantly deformed to absorb the impact with respect to the collision of the light BB bullet OB2. Further, even if the second member 53b cannot completely absorb the impact due to the collision of the BB bullet OB2, the hair feet 53a1 are densely packed around the BB bullet OB2, and therefore, the friction with the hair feet 53a1 shows in FIG. As in the case of the BB bullet OB3, the movement is completely stopped, and the BB bullet OB3 is held by the hair foot 53a1.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing how the BB bullets are collected by the shock absorbing object holding member 53.
As shown in FIG. 16, the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 directly absorbs and holds the impacting BB bullet OB4 as shown by the trajectory F2, and the lower front surface as shown by the trajectory F3. The BB bullet OB5 that collides with the impact absorbing member 60 and drops can be held.

  The shock-absorbing object holding member 53 can hold a large number of BB bullets OB6 by providing a sufficiently long hair foot 53a1 with respect to the size of the BB bullet.

  In this way, the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 is configured by integrating the first member 53a and the second member 53b so as to absorb and stop the impact when the light and fast BB bullet collides. At the same time, the shock absorbing object holding member 53 can be held so as not to jump out. As a result, with respect to the BB bullet colliding with the lower front impact absorbing member 60 and the BB bullet directly hitting the impact-absorbing object holding member 53, the impact due to the collision can be absorbed and the BB bullet can be held and not scattered.

Next, a modified example of the game apparatus 20 will be described.
FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the game apparatus 20. 17A is a plan view of the game apparatus 20, FIG. 17B is a front view of the game apparatus 20, and FIG. 17C is a side view of the game apparatus 20.

  The game apparatus 20 shown in FIG. 17 has a configuration in which upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R provided on the side surface of the upper casing 51 can be opened and closed.

  Rotating mechanisms 171L and 171R each having a rotating shaft in the vertical direction are provided on the side surface of the upper housing 51. The upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R have rear ends attached to the rotation shafts of the rotation mechanisms 171L and 171R, and can be rotated in the horizontal direction by the rotation shaft.

  That is, the sheet surface on the opening side (inside of the casing) of the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R can face the BB bullet introduction direction. The rotation range by the rotation mechanisms 171L and 171R is, for example, a range of about 45 ° from the state in which the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are closed (the direction of the sheet surface is substantially perpendicular to the direction of introduction of the BB bullet). In other words, the BB bullet introduced from the front and colliding with the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R is made rotatable within a range of angles at which the BB bullet is bounced back to the opening side.

  For example, when the game apparatus 20 is not used when the game apparatus 20 is transported, the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are closed. As a result, the overall size of the game apparatus 20 can be reduced.

  On the other hand, when the game apparatus 20 is used, the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are opened. Thereby, even if the BB bullets fired from the airsoft gun aiming at the target image displayed on the display 34 detach from the sheet-like member 72 in the left-right direction, they land on the upper side impact absorbing members 170L, 170R, It is possible to prevent the BB bullets from scattering outside the game apparatus 20.

  Reflecting members 172L and 172R which are inclined toward the bullet collecting plate 86 provided in the lower housing 50 are provided below the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R. The reflecting members 172L and 172R are made of the same material as the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R, for example. The reflecting members 172L and 172R reflect the BB bullets in the direction of the bullet collecting plate 86 when the BB bullets colliding with the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R fall. Therefore, the BB bullets colliding with the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R can be collected together with the BB bullets colliding with the sheet-like member 72.

  Further, gaps 71L and 71R are formed at portions where the structure in which the display 34 and the support member 76 are accommodated and the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are close to each other. Therefore, when the BB bullets landed on the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R move in the back direction along the surfaces of the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R due to the action of rotation of the BB bullets, the gap 71L , 71R enters the BB bullet and can be recovered as described above.

  The game apparatus 20 can be operated even when the upper side impact absorbing members 170L, 170R are closed (the same state as FIG. 5).

  In FIG. 17, the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are configured to be openable and closable, but the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are fixed in an open state as shown in FIG. It is also possible.

Next, the operation of the game apparatus 20 in this embodiment will be described.
First, a method for calculating the landing position of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-like member 72 will be described.
FIG. 18 shows the relationship between the sheet-like member 72 (or the display 34) and the acoustic sensors 48-1, 48-2, 48-3, 48-4 respectively arranged near the four corners of the sheet-like member 72. ing. FIG. 18 shows the landing point P of the BB bullet.

  The acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4 detect the sound generated when the BB bullets land on the sheet-like member 72, and output a sound signal that is a signal representing the sound to the sensor signal processing unit 47. The sensor signal processing unit 47 detects detection times (sound detection times) at which landings are detected by the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4 based on the audio signals input from the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4. Time data indicating T1, T2, T3, T4) is detected. The sensor signal processing unit 47 outputs peak value data indicating the peak value of the amplitude of the audio signal input from the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4 to the processor 30.

  The processor 30 obtains a difference (detection time difference) with respect to the time when the landing is first detected based on the sound detection times T1 to T4 detected by the sensor signal processing unit 47 in accordance with the position detection program 32b. That is, the processor 30 detects a difference in detection time between the sound detection time T1 (acoustic sensor 48-1) at which the first landing is detected and the sound detection time T2 (acoustic sensor 48-2) at which the second landing is detected. Similarly, Δt2 is obtained, and similarly, the detection time difference Δt3 between the sound detection time T1 and the sound detection time T3 (acoustic sensor 48-3) at which the third landing is detected, and the sound detection time T1 and the fourth landing are detected. The detection time difference Δt4 from the voice detection time T4 (acoustic sensor 48-4) is obtained. Note that the detection time difference for the acoustic sensor 48 that first detects the sound is always 0, and the detection time difference Δt1 = 0.

  As shown in FIG. 18, if the distance between the landing point P and the acoustic sensor 48 nearest to the landing point P (acoustic sensor 48-1 in the example of FIG. 18) is a distance d 1, the detection time difference Δt 1- Δt4 is proportional to the difference in propagation path length with respect to the distance d1. That is, the interval between the landing point P and the acoustic sensor 48-2 is obtained by d1 + k × Δt2, and the interval between the landing point P and the acoustic sensor 48-3 is obtained by d1 + k × Δt3, and the landing point P and the acoustic sensor 48−. 4 is obtained by d1 + k × Δt4. Here, k is the speed of sound in the sheet-like member 72.

  Therefore, the processor 30 can obtain the distance between the landing point P and the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 23-4 based on the detection time differences Δt1 to Δt4, and can specify the landing position from these distances. it can.

  In the position detection program 32b, acoustic sensors 48-1 to 23- obtained by landing BB bullets on the sheet-like member 72 in advance for every predetermined number of target points set in, for example, a lattice shape. The array data in which the detection time difference between the audio signals detected by 4 is set is created. The processor 30 can improve the accuracy of the landing position by recalculating the landing of the BB bullet with reference to the array data based on the detection time differences Δt1 to Δt4.

Next, a method for calculating the bullet speed (shooting speed) and kinetic energy of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-like member 72 will be described.
Further, the position detection program 32b is obtained by landing BB bullets on the sheet-like member 72 at a predetermined bullet velocity set for each of a predetermined number of target points set, for example, in a lattice shape. In addition, an actual measurement data table composed of the amplitude (for example, average value of peak value data) of the audio signal detected by the acoustic sensor 48 is set. Based on the amplitude of the sound signal associated with the target points set in the array data surrounding the landing point P, the processor 30 determines the sound signal measured when the bullet hits the sheet-like member 72. The velocity of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-like member 72 can be calculated by correcting the amplitude. Furthermore, the kinetic energy of the BB bullet can be calculated based on the speed of the BB bullet and the weight of the BB bullet.

  In this way, the game apparatus 20 calculates the landing position, bullet speed (shooting speed), and kinetic energy of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-like member 72 and uses it in the game control process described later.

Next, a game control process for executing a game in the game apparatus 20 will be described.
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a game control process of the game apparatus 20 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a game process during the game control process.

  When notified by the coin sensor 44 that a coin has been inserted (step A1, Yes), the processor 30 starts a game mode setting process (step A2).

  In the game mode setting process, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display an airsoft gun handling caution screen SC1 shown in FIG.

  The handling caution screen SC1 displays an explanatory note SC11 for calling attention to a player who uses the airsoft gun, an explanatory diagram SC12 for explaining the handling of the airsoft gun (still images, moving images, illustrations, etc.), and the like. The handling attention screen SC1 is provided with a confirmation button SC13. For example, a confirmation instruction from the player by an operation of selecting by the left button 81 or the right button 82 provided on the operation panel 80 and an operation of determining by the determination button 83. Can be accepted.

  When the confirmation instruction is received, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display a selection screen SC2 for setting the number of players, for example, as shown in FIG. On the selection screen SC2, for example, four buttons SC21, SC22, SC23, and SC24 capable of instructing the number of players “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” are displayed. In addition, the remaining time SC25 in which the selection operation can be performed is displayed on the selection screen SC2 while being updated as time elapses (for example, countdown from 30 seconds).

  When one of the buttons is selected by operating the left button 81 or the right button 82 of the operation panel 80 and the confirmation (decision) is instructed by the determination button 83, the processor 30 determines the number of players corresponding to the selected button. Set. When a plurality of players are selected, a plurality of players can play a shooting game by turns, for example.

  Next, the processor 30 shifts to a member code input waiting state, and displays, for example, a member code reading operation guidance screen SC3 shown in FIG. The guidance screen SC3 displays an explanatory note SC31 explaining the member code reading operation method, a figure SC32 explaining the reading method (still image, moving image, illustration, etc.), and the like. Further, the remaining time SC33 in which the reading operation can be performed is displayed on the guidance screen SC3 while being updated as time elapses (for example, counting down from 30 seconds).

  Here, when the membership code displayed on the portable terminal 16 possessed by the player or the membership code printed on the guest card is entered by the card reader 45 provided on the operation panel 80, the card reader 45 Membership code is detected.

  When the member code is detected (step A3, Yes), the processor 30 executes an authentication process on the member code read by the card reader 45 to determine whether the member code is correct (step A4).

  If the read member code is that of a player registered as a member (step A5, Yes), the processor 30 uses the member-specific information (member data) registered in the game server 10 in association with the member code. The member data is received and member data processing corresponding to the member is executed (step A8).

  In the member data processing, the processor 30 displays a member authentication confirmation screen SC4 as shown in FIG. On the member authentication confirmation screen SC4, for example, a nickname “Mr. XXX” included in the member data, an image indicating the player, player data SC41 such as the overall ranking “87th”, player stage SC42, and the like are displayed. The player can confirm that the user is correctly authenticated on the member authentication confirmation screen SC4. Further, the remaining time SC44 in which the confirmation completion operation can be performed is displayed on the member authentication confirmation screen SC4 while being updated as time elapses.

  The member authentication confirmation screen SC4 is provided with a completion instruction button SC43. For example, a confirmation completion instruction by the player can be received by operating a decision button 83 provided on the operation panel 80.

  When the confirmation completion instruction is received, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display a game selection screen SC5 for selecting a shooting game to be played, for example, as shown in FIG.

  The game selection screen SC5 displays player data SC51 similar to the member authentication confirmation screen SC4 and a plurality of game selection buttons SC52 corresponding to a plurality of types of shooting games.

  The game selection button SC52 includes a newly added new game button SC53, a recommended game button SC54 specified by a player's play history, etc., a popular game button SC56 specified by another player's play history, and the like. included. On the recommended game button SC54 and the popular game button SC56, ranks SC55 and SC57 based on the past play history of the player are respectively displayed. Further, the remaining time SC58 in which the game selection operation can be performed is displayed on the game selection screen SC5 while being updated as time elapses.

  When one of the game selection buttons is selected by the operation of the left button 81 or the right button 82 of the operation panel 80 and the confirmation is instructed by the determination button 83, the processor 30 executes a shooting game corresponding to the game selection button. Game setting is executed (step A9). In the game settings, for example, settings are made according to the player's play history and customization data. The processor 30 executes the game process after the game setting is completed (step A10).

  On the other hand, when the read membership code is for a guest (step A6, Yes), the processor 30 executes a guest process for a guest player. In the guest process, for example, a game selection screen for selecting a shooting game to be played is displayed on the display 34, and the player selects any of a plurality of game selection buttons included in the game selection screen.

  When the game selection button is selected, the processor 30 executes a game setting for executing a shooting game corresponding to the game selection button (step A9). In the game settings, for example, settings are made according to the player's play history and customization data. The processor 30 executes the game process after the game setting is completed (step A10).

Next, game processing by the game apparatus 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
When starting the game (step B1), the processor 30 displays a target (target image) corresponding to the game type on the display 34 (step B2). When the processor 30 detects that the BB bullet has landed on the sheet-like member 72 after the target is displayed (step B3, Yes), the processor 30 determines and counts a score (score) based on the display position and the landing position of the target. .

  Further, the processor 30 causes the memory 31 to store data indicating the landing time, bullet speed, and kinetic energy for each landing (step B4).

FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of a target (target image) corresponding to the type of shooting game.
FIG. 24A shows an example of a game target simulating a bullseye competition. The bullseye competition is to shoot exactly the targets that are displayed one by one. At the start, as shown in FIG. 24A1, a large target is displayed at the center. When the target hits, the target disappears and the next target is displayed. The target to be displayed next is reduced in size and raised in difficulty, as shown in FIG. In the same way, the target is changed every time the player hits. In addition to changing the size of the target, the display position is also randomly changed vertically and horizontally.

  FIG. 24B is an example of a game target imitating a plate game. In the plate competition, a plurality of targets displayed at the same time are displayed and fired accurately and promptly. As shown in FIG. 24B, a plurality of different size targets are arranged.

  FIG. 24C is an example of a game target imitating a mover game. Mover competition is to accurately shoot a moving target. For example, the target is moved left and right at a constant speed, and a plurality of targets are moved in order.

  Note that the target shown in FIG. 24 is an example, and other forms of targets (target images) can be used. Since the target (target image) is displayed on the display 34, various shooting games can be realized by preparing an arbitrary target image corresponding to the type of the shooting game. Since the entire display screen of the display 34 is covered with the sheet-like member 72, the target can be displayed using the entire area of the display 34.

  In this way, in the game process, the score is counted for shooting against the target displayed according to the type of game within a predetermined time. On the other hand, the processor 30 monitors whether an appropriate airsoft gun is used by using at least one of the bullet speed and energy of the BB bullets that have landed on the sheet-like member 72 in the game process.

  The processor 30 sets the first reference value, the second reference value, the third reference value for the bullet speed or energy of the BB bullet, the bullet velocity or energy of the landed BB bullet, which are set in the management control data shown in FIG. Compare. It is assumed that there is a relationship of first reference value> second reference value> third reference value.

  If the processor 30 determines that the bullet speed or energy of the BB bullet that has landed exceeds the first reference value for determining an airsoft gun that is not permitted by law (step B5, Yes), the game (Step B6), for example, a message indicating the reason for stopping the game is displayed on the display 34, and a predetermined sound for notifying the cable modem stop is output from the speaker 36 (step B12). In addition, the processor 30 notifies the message to the employee by notifying the portable terminal 16 possessed by the employee in the store of the message by wireless communication and outputting the message from the portable terminal 16 by display, voice, or a vibrator. Notice. Further, the game device 20 may notify the host device 21 and output (display, voice) a message from the host device 21.

  Further, the processor 30 exceeds the second reference value according to the publicly set power upper limit such as the youth protection and development regulations in the prefectures or the self-regulatory group of airsoft guns, and the bullet speed or energy of the landed BB bullets exceeds If it is determined (Yes in step B7), a warning message is displayed on the display 34 (a predetermined warning voice message may be output from the speaker 36). Furthermore, the employee's portable terminal 16 and the host device 21 may be notified in the same manner as when the first reference value is exceeded.

  The second reference value may differ depending on the age of the player. When the game device 20 receives data from the game server 10 that can confirm the age based on the member code, the game device 20 performs the determination based on the second reference value according to the age of the player. And

  Further, the processor 30 determines that the bullet speed or energy of the landed BB bullet exceeds the third reference value according to the power upper limit determined uniquely for the entire game system, the store unit, or for each game device 20. If this is the case (step B9, Yes), a message is displayed on the display 34 (a predetermined voice message may be output from the speaker 36). Further, the processor 30 changes the game content according to the processing content corresponding to the third reference value set in the management control data (step B10). Examples of the game content change include target size change and game time change.

  In this way, in the game apparatus 20, when it is determined that the power upper limit determined for the airsoft gun is exceeded based on the shooting speed or kinetic energy detected by the BB bullet landed during the game process, Since a message or the like is notified to the outside, not only the player but also others such as employees can confirm that an inappropriate airsoft gun is being used. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately deal with a player who uses an inappropriate airsoft gun.

  If the second reference value and the third reference value are exceeded, the game process is continued. When the game is over (steps B11, A11, Yes), the processor 30 executes game result processing and ranking processing (steps A12, A13).

  In the game result process, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display a game result screen. In the ranking process, the processor 30 transmits data such as game result scores to the game server 10 to update the ranking and display the updated ranking on the display 34.

FIGS. 25A and 25B are diagrams showing examples of the game result screens SC6 and SC7.
On the game result screen SC6 shown in FIG. 25A, a result image SC61 including a landing position, a score, a time, and the like with respect to the target is displayed. On the game result screen SC6, a post-game ranking SC62 and a graph SC63 showing changes in the ranking based on the game history of the player are displayed.

  On the game result screen SC7 shown in FIG. 25 (B), a graph SC72 of evaluation values (hit rate, concentration, agility, judgment) calculated according to the landing is displayed together with the result image SC71.

  Note that the game result screens SC6 and SC7 shown in FIGS. 25A and 25B are examples, and an arbitrary form of game result screen can be displayed.

  When the player registered as a member finishes the game, the processor 30 transmits data indicating the contents of the game result to the game server 10 to update the member registration data corresponding to the member code.

  In the above description, the player registered as a member is discriminated based on the member code (two-dimensional code) read by the card reader 45. However, the player is discriminated based on the image obtained by photographing the player by the camera unit 46. You may do it. The processor 30 performs individual authentication on an image photographed by the camera unit 46 based on member identification data registered in advance. Further, instead of specifying individual members, only the age may be determined using a known image processing method based on an image taken by the camera unit 46. In this case, the age of the guest player can also be determined and reflected in the determination based on the second reference value described above.

  Further, a warning message or the like may be displayed by detecting the dangerous action of the player, the muzzle direction (shooting direction) of the airsoft gun, etc. based on the image taken by the camera unit 46.
