DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting go stones on a go board which can reliably detect the setting stones and consideration time of go stones on a go board and which is easy to manufacture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a game of Go, checking the time consumed and recording a game record require a great deal of effort.
Various attempts have been made to mechanize this. For example, there has been proposed an apparatus for detecting the position of a go stone hit on a go board in a game of Go, and recording and reproducing the progress of the game (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-54680).

In this conventional apparatus, an optical sensor is provided on a grid to determine the presence or absence of go stones and the type of black or white. However, since the optical sensor is exposed on the grid, The traditional go board style was lost, and the real pleasure of playing the Go game was lost. In addition, the function of the optical sensor is impaired by the presence of dirt, dust, and the like on the go board, and there is also a disadvantage that a go stone detection error occurs.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is capable of reliably detecting the presence or absence of a go stone on a go board, is easy to manufacture, and has a traditional go board. It is an object of the present invention to provide a go stone detection device on a go board in which the appearance and personality of the game are not impaired at all.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a go-stone detection device on a go board according to the present invention comprises: a go board sheet in which eyes are formed by intersections of vertical and horizontal ruled lines and the eyes are light-transmitting portions; The base sheet includes a base sheet having an insertion hole formed in a portion corresponding to the eye and joined to a lower surface of the go board sheet, and an optical sensor installed in the insertion hole.

[0006] The shape of the light-transmitting portion is not particularly limited as long as external light is blocked by the stone and light is transmitted so that the presence of the stone can be detected by the optical sensor. It is preferable to form a circle having the same diameter as the width of the ruled line.

[0007] The go board sheet is not particularly limited as long as it has a flat plate shape and can form a light transmitting portion.
For example, a PVC sheet is suitably used.

[0008] The go board sheet is made of a transparent, translucent or translucent material, a non-transmissive paint is applied to the upper surface of the go board sheet except for the translucent portion, and the translucent portion is formed on the paint. By removing the vertical and horizontal black ruled lines to form a translucent part of the grid part, the base sheet is formed by a black plate,
Or, by forming at least the inside of the insertion hole 20 to be black, the black inside the insertion hole is visually observed, and despite the presence of the translucent portion, it has an appearance that is not different from the normal go board surface. It is possible.

[0009] Further, the goishi detecting device, a game record recording device for sequentially recording the set stones and the consideration time detected on the go board detected by the gostone detecting device, and a game play for reproducing the game record recorded in the game record recording device. The provision of the apparatus has an advantage that the checking of the consumption time and the recording of the game record can be automatically performed.

[0010]

In the go stone detection device on the go board of the present invention, the presence or absence of the go stone on the go board can be reliably detected.
It can be formed without any inferiority in appearance,
It is suitably used not only for amateur games but also for professional games.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional explanatory view showing an embodiment of a go-ishi detection device on a go board according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main part showing a state where a go board sheet and a base sheet are joined, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example of a go board device incorporating a go stone detection device on a go board of the present invention, showing a state where the go sheet and the base sheet are separated.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 12 denotes a go-stone detection device on a go board according to the present invention, and a go board sheet 18 in which eyes are formed by intersections of vertical and horizontal ruled lines 14 and 14 and the eyes are light-transmitting portions 16;
An insertion hole 20 is formed in a portion corresponding to the eye, and the base sheet 22 is joined to a lower surface of the go board sheet 18 and an optical sensor 24 installed in the insertion hole 20.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a box-shaped base portion constituting the base of the go board 28. It is preferable that the inside of the base portion 26 be hollow and house necessary wirings and the like. In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the upper plate of the base portion 26 is configured as the base sheet 22.

The go-to sheet 18 is not particularly limited as long as it has a flat plate-like shape and a light-transmitting portion can be formed. A synthetic resin plate, for example, a PVC sheet is suitably used.

There is no particular limitation on the material of the base sheet 22, but a hard synthetic resin plate, for example, a bakelite plate is preferably used.

The shape of the light-transmitting portion 16 may be any shape as long as external light is blocked by the stones G and the light is transmitted so that the presence of the stones G is detected by the optical sensor 24. Although there is no limitation, it is preferable to form a circle having the same diameter as the width of the ruled line 14.

Although there is no particular limitation on the formation of the translucent section 16, in the present embodiment, a transparent, translucent or translucent material is used for the go board sheet 18, and the translucent section 16 on the upper surface thereof is used. The non-translucent paint T is applied to the entire surface except for the portion that becomes
Except for the eye portion, the black ruled lines 14 were drawn to form the translucent portion 16 of the grid.

The base sheet 22 is formed of a black plate, or at least the inside of the insertion hole 20 is formed in black, so that the black color in the insertion hole 20 is
, It is possible to exhibit the same appearance as that of a normal go board even though the light transmitting portion 16 is present.

As a means for applying the non-translucent paint T and forming the black ruled lines 14, 14, a known coating and printing means such as screen printing may be used.

The optical sensor 24 has a go stone G
It is only necessary to sense the presence of the go stone G when placed on the eye portion, and there is no particular limitation, but the external light is blocked to detect the presence of the go stone G. Is preferred. The optical sensor 24 is shielded from the outside by the grid sheet 18, and its existence cannot be observed from the outside, and the function of the optical sensor is not impaired due to dirt such as dust. Go board 28 of the present invention
