(2) When the form of the relief 22 is a transformation form (when the micro switch 35R is pressed), the relief 22 is most recently held over the relief 22 (see FIG. 3), and the identification information is received by the identification information receiving unit 55. Identification information of the transformed ring 40A.

(Operation example of operation response toy 10)
An operation example of the operation response toy 10 under the control of the main control unit 51 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the power switch 63 is turned on (step S1), it is determined which form the relief 22 has (step S2). When it is determined that the relief 22 is a transformation form, the question signal transmission unit 53 starts transmitting the question signal in step S3, and the main output unit 57 outputs a ring reading standby effect for transformation in step S4. do.

Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the form of the relief 22 has been changed. When the form of the relief 22 is changed, the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, if the relief form is not changed, the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S6, whether or not the identification information is received by the identification information receiving unit 55 (whether or not the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A or the special move ring 40B is in an approaching state). To judge. When the identification information is received (when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A or the special move ring 40B is in an approaching state), the process proceeds to step S7. On the other hand, if the identification information has not been received, the process returns to step S4.

In step S7, the type of identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 55 is determined by the identification information determining means 61. If it is determined that the identification information belongs to the first group, the identification information is overwritten and stored in the storage device in step S8, and the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, when it is determined that the identification information belongs to the second group, the main control unit 51 reads the first form change instruction information from the effect storage unit 52 and outputs the first form change instruction. The unit 57 is controlled, and the process returns to step S4. For example, as the first form change instruction, a voice "Gakusai (reverse side)" is emitted from the sounding unit 65 of the main output unit 57. As a result, the user notices that the form of the relief 22 is not a special move form but a transformation form.

In step S9, the first effect information corresponding to the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the transformation ring reading effect (first effect) is based on the read first effect information. ) Is controlled to output the main output unit 57. For example, when the identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 55 is information including red light emission, the main output unit 57 starts with the sounding unit 65 to "hi (fire), hi (fire), hi (fire).・ ・ ”Is emitted, and red light is emitted from the light emitting unit 27. At this time, also in the transformation ring 40A, by emitting red light of the same system from the light emitting unit 43A, it is possible to produce an effect as if the light emission of the transformation ring 40A is transferred to the buckle 20.

In step S11, it is determined whether or not the identification information is no longer received by the identification information receiving unit 55 (whether or not the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A is separated). If the identification information has not been received (when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A has separated), the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when the identification information is received (when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A is in an approaching state), the process returns to step S9, and the transformation ring reading effect is output again. .. That is, the main control unit 51 repeatedly outputs the transformation ring reading effect (first effect) while the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A is in an approaching state. Controls the main output unit 57.

In step S12, the transformation effect (second effect) corresponding to the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is output from the main output unit 57. That is, when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A is separated by the action of the user during the output of the transformation ring reading effect (first effect), the effect storage unit 52 determines the transformation effect information. The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to read out (second effect information) and output the transformation effect (second effect) based on the read transformation effect information (second effect information) (FIG. 10 (FIG. 10). a) See). For example, as a transformation effect, in addition to the voice "please" from the sounding unit 65, the sounding unit 65 and the light emitting unit 27 corresponding to the identification information perform an effect.

Next, in step S13, the transmission of the question signal from the question signal transmission unit 53 is stopped, and in step S14, whether or not the form of the relief 22 has been changed is checked, and whether or not the pressed state of the microswitches 35L and 35R has changed. Judgment is made according to whether or not. When the form of the relief 22 is changed (when the pressed micro switch is no longer pressed), the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, when the form of the relief 22 is not changed (when the pressed micro switch is continuously pressed), it is determined again whether or not the form of the relief 22 has been changed.

In step S2, if the relief 22 is a special move form, the process proceeds to step S15 (see FIG. 9). Further, in step S2, if the relief 22 is neither a transformation form nor a special move form (when neither of the microswitches is pressed), the process proceeds to step S16 to see if the relief 22 form has been changed. Judge again. When the relief 22 is changed to the transformation form, the process proceeds to step S3. Further, when the relief 22 is changed to the special move form, the process proceeds to step S15 (see FIG. 9). Further, when the morphology of the relief 22 is not changed, it is determined again whether or not the morphology of the relief 22 is changed.

As shown in FIG. 9, in step S15, the interrogation signal transmission unit 53 starts transmitting the interrogation signal, and in step S17, the ring reading standby effect for the special move is output from the main output unit 57.

Next, in step S18, it is determined whether or not the form of the relief 22 has been changed. When the form of the relief 22 is changed, in step S19, the identification information of the transformation ring 40A stored in the storage device is cleared. On the other hand, if the form of the relief 22 is not changed, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, whether or not the identification information is received by the identification information receiving unit 55 (whether or not the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A or the special move ring 40B is in an approaching state). To judge. When the identification information is received (when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A or the special move ring 40B is in an approaching state), the process proceeds to step S21. On the other hand, if the identification information has not been received, the process returns to step S17.

In step S21, the type of identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 55 is determined by the identification information determining means 61. If it is determined that the identification information belongs to the second group, the process proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, when it is determined that the identification information belongs to the first group, the second form change instruction is output from the main output unit 57 in step S23, and the process returns to step S17. For example, as a second form change instruction, a voice "Gakusai (reverse side)" is emitted from the sounding unit 65 of the main output unit 57. As a result, the user notices that the form of the relief 22 is not a form for transformation but a form for special move. In addition, in this embodiment, the 1st form change instruction and the 2nd form change instruction are the same voice of "Gakusai", but the purpose of the present invention is that the 1st form change instruction and the 2nd form change instruction are the same. It can be a thing, or of course it can be a different thing.

In step S22, the ring reading effect (first effect) for the special move corresponding to the identification information of the ring 40B for the special move is output from the main output unit 57.

Next, in step S24, it is determined whether or not the identification information is no longer received by the identification information receiving unit 55 (whether or not the ring state determining means 58 determines that the special move ring 40B is separated). If the identification information has not been received (when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the special move ring 40B has separated), the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, when the identification information is received (when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the ring 40B for the special move is in an approaching state), the process returns to step S22, and the ring reading effect for the special move is performed again. Output. That is, the main control unit 51 repeatedly performs the ring reading effect (first effect) for the special move while the ring state determining means 58 determines that the ring 40B for the special move is in an approaching state. Controls the main output unit 57.

In step S25, it is determined whether or not the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is stored. If the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is stored, the process proceeds to step S26. On the other hand, when the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is not stored, in step S28, the main output unit 57 outputs a normal special move effect corresponding to the identification information of the special move ring 40B. That is, as shown in FIG. 10B, the ring state determining means 58 determines that the ring 40B for the special move is separated by the action of the user during the output of the ring reading effect (first effect) of the special move. At that time, the special move effect information (second effect information) is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the special move effect (second effect information) is read based on the read out special move effect information (second effect information). The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to output the effect (in this case, the normal special move effect).

In step S26, it is determined whether or not the identification information of the special move ring 40B and the identification information knowledge of the transformation ring 40A are a specific combination. When the identification information of the special move ring 40B and the identification information knowledge of the transformation ring 40A are a specific combination, a special special move effect corresponding to the specific combination is output from the main output unit 57. That is, as shown in FIG. 10B, the ring state determining means 58 determines that the ring 40B for the special move is separated by the action of the user during the output of the ring reading effect (first effect) of the special move. At that time, the special move effect information (second effect information) is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the special move effect (second effect information) is read based on the read out special move effect information (second effect information). The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to output the effect (in this case, a special special move effect). On the other hand, if the identification information of the special move ring 40B and the identification information knowledge of the transformation ring 40A are not a specific combination, the process proceeds to step S28, and the normal special move effect is output from the main output unit 57. That is, as shown in FIG. 10B, the ring state determining means 58 determines that the ring 40B for the special move is separated by the action of the user during the output of the ring reading effect (first effect) of the special move. At that time, the special move effect information (second effect information) is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the special move effect (second effect information) is read based on the read out special move effect information (second effect information). The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to output the effect (in this case, the normal special move effect).

In the normal special move production, for example, a voice "please" and a normal special move production based on the identification information of the special move ring 40B are combined. On the other hand, in the special special move production, for example, a voice "Like!" And a special special move production based on the identification information of the special move ring 40B are combined. Alternatively, as a special special move effect, it is possible to perform an effect in which the voice "super-like!" And another special special move effect based on the identification information of the special move ring 40B are combined. Further, as a special special move effect, a combination of the voice "best!" And another special special move effect based on the identification information of the special move ring 40B may be performed. In this way, various types of special move effects can be obtained based on the combination of the identification information of the special move ring 40B and the identification information of the transformation ring 40A that is held up most recently and stored in the storage device. Can be done.

In step S29, the transmission of the question signal from the question signal transmission unit 53 is stopped, and in step S30, it is determined whether or not the form of the relief 22 has been changed. When the form of the relief 22 is changed, the stored identification information of the transformation ring 40A is cleared in step S31, and the process returns to step S2 (see FIG. 8). On the other hand, when the morphology of the relief 22 is not changed, it is determined again whether or not the morphology of the relief 22 has been changed.
