  By the way, the game machines represented by pachinko machines are skillfully complicated with the advancement of technology. For example, regarding light emitting elements such as LEDs, with the advancement of technology, a large number of light emitting elements can be finely controlled. Accordingly, the data amount of the above-mentioned ramp data has increased correspondingly to thousands. This applies not only to gaming machines but also to various lighting devices and lighting devices.

  On the other hand, the creation of such ramp data has traditionally been manual, but a creation tool has also been developed that makes it easy to produce large volumes of ramp data to meet the demands of skill in production. It can be created.

  Due to such circumstances, as described above, it has become impossible to cope with the configuration in which the program ROM is stored as it is. That is, since the capacity of the program ROM is restricted by the operation of the CPU, it has become impossible to store thousands of lamp data in the gaming machine. Further, as described in Patent Document 1, the audio data is stored after being compressed (paragraph [0023] of the document), but the concept of compressing the ramp data is not yet established ( [0026]).

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an effect control method and an effect control device that can reduce the load on the CPU while effectively utilizing the capacity of the data storage means. There is.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the third embodiment based on the effect control device of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of ramp data. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a conventional effect control device.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the first embodiment based on the effect control device of the present invention. In the figure, the effect control device according to the first embodiment includes a CPU 1 that is a host device, an integrated LSI 2a, a plurality of light emitting elements 4 ₁ to ₄ 4 that are typically LEDs, and an integrated LSI 2a. A serial input light emitting element driver 3 that inputs serial data and drives the plurality of light emitting elements 4 ₁ to 4 ₄ , a display unit 5 that is typically a liquid crystal display (LCD), and a moving image and a stationary CGROM 7 in which compressed image data CID for displaying images and the like is stored.

  The integrated LSI 2 a includes a register 21, a serial controller 22, and a graphic processing unit 23. The CPU 1 temporarily stores an instruction group IS read and input from a program ROM (not shown). Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the CGROM 7 stores compressed ramp data CLD in addition to image data.

In addition, in this Embodiment, although the four light emitting elements 4 are typically shown, the number is not restricted to it. In this embodiment, the serial controller 22 is connected to the serial input light-emitting element driver 3 for driving the light-emitting elements 4 ₁ to 4 _4. The other devices (motors such as a synchronous motor (stepping motor), a commutator motor, and an induction motor) are connected and other drivers for driving them are also connected.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the ramp data before compression in the form of a table. Here, the ID number corresponds to each light emitting element, and here, n cases are shown. For each ID number, R, G, and B luminances are defined in time series every 0.1 seconds. Each luminance has a resolution of 256 gradations, and is set so that the total luminance is 255 at the same time for each ID number.

  When FIG. 4 is examined in more detail, it can be seen that there are many light emitting elements in which each luminance of R, G, and B continues to be a constant value for a long time in the time axis direction. For example, the light emitting elements with ID number 1, ID number 2, and ID number n maintain the same state until time 1.0 seconds. This is a feature of the blinking operation of a light emitting element used in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

  Therefore, for such a data string, compression using a method similar to the differential prediction encoding employed in moving images is effective.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the lamp brightness data is generally correlated in the time direction as described above. Therefore, when encoding a certain frame, encoding efficiency can be improved by entropy encoding the difference from the luminance value of the immediately preceding frame. In addition, even within a frame, there is a high possibility that there is a correlation between the luminance values of adjacent light emitting elements. Therefore, by entropy encoding the difference between the luminance values of adjacent light emitting elements within the frame, Efficiency can be increased.

  In addition to inter-frame difference prediction encoding and intra-frame difference prediction encoding as described above, lexicographic compression or simple entropy encoding using luminance values as symbols may be applied. Further, the luminance data may be frequency-converted in the time direction or the address direction using a discrete cosine transform (DCT) or the like, and entropy coding may be applied to the frequency component. Further, distortion compression may be performed by adding quantization or the like instead of distortionless compression.

  In addition, although the example shown in FIG. 4 assumes the case where the light emitting element 4 is full color LED, it is not restricted to this, Monochromatic LED, incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, neon tube, organic electroluminescence (organic EL), etc. The light emitting element may be used.

Next, the operation of the effect control device shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

This command includes at least a graphic command that defines the processing content of the graphic processing unit 23 and a serial control command that defines the processing content of the serial controller 22. Further, when the integrated LSI has a voice processing unit as in the second embodiment to be described later, an audio command defining the processing content of the voice processing unit is included.

  The graphic processing unit 23 in the integrated LSI 2a reads a graphic command stored in the register 21 and performs graphic processing instructed by this command. The graphic processing is basically performed by fetching the image data CID stored in the CGROM 7 through the external bus, performing drawing processing on the image data CID, and writing it in a frame memory (not shown). Then, an image for one frame read from the frame memory is displayed on the display unit 5 through a bus connected to the integrated LSI 2a under synchronization control by a vertical synchronization signal.

The serial controller 22 in the integrated LSI 2a reads the serial control system command stored in the register 21 and reads the compressed ramp data CLD stored in the CGROM 7 in accordance with the contents of the command. The read compressed ramp data CLD is expanded by an expansion unit (not shown) in the integrated LSI 2a. The serial controller 22 serially controls the plurality of light emitting elements 4 ₁ to 4 ₄ by blinking them by outputting the expanded ramp data to the serial data line as serial data in accordance with the read command. . In the present embodiment, since each light emitting element 4 itself does not have a function of analyzing serial data, each light emitting element 4 is driven via a serial input light emitting element driver 3 having this function.

The serial input light emitting element driver 3 receives the lamp data supplied to the serial data line, and in response to this, drives the connected light emitting elements 4 ₁ to 4 ₄ , that is, blinks. The synchronization with the serial input light emitting element driver 3 is performed when the serial controller 22 supplies a clock to the serial input light emitting element driver 3 via a clock line (not shown).

  The graphic processing unit 23 and the serial controller 22 are controlled so that their processes are synchronized. By these controls, the moving image displayed on the display unit 5 and the lighting state of the light emitting element 4 are synchronized, and an advanced effect is exhibited by these mutual effects. That is, a vertical synchronization signal used for image display is supplied to the serial controller 22 in order to synchronize image display and serial control.

  As described above, in the first embodiment described above, the ramp data is compressed and stored in the CGROM 7.

  That is, from the viewpoint of the storage location, the lamp data is stored in the CGROM 7 instead of being stored in the program ROM and being read out via the CPU as in the prior art. Since the capacity of the program ROM is several megabytes, the capacity of the CGROM 7 is in units of gigabytes, so that it can cope with a large amount of lamp data. In addition, since the CPU is not interposed, the load on the CPU can be reduced.

  In addition, since the ramp data is compressed and stored from the viewpoint of the storage method, the CGROM 7 having a large capacity can be used more effectively.

  Here, the audio processing unit 24 in the integrated LSI 2b reads the audio command stored in the register 21 and performs the audio processing instructed by this command. The audio processing is basically performed by fetching compressed audio data CAD stored in the external audio ROM 8 through an external bus and performing signal processing on the data. The sound generated by this audio processing is output to the sound output unit 6 via a bus connected to the integrated LSI 2b.

The serial controller 22 in the integrated LSI 2b reads the serial control system command stored in the register 21 and reads the compressed ramp data CLD stored in the audio ROM 8 in accordance with the contents of the command. The read compressed ramp data CLD is decompressed by a decompression unit (not shown) in the integrated LSI 2b. The serial controller 22 serially controls the plurality of light emitting elements 4 ₁ to 4 ₄ by blinking them by outputting the expanded ramp data to the serial data line as serial data in accordance with the read command. .

  The audio processing unit 24 and the serial controller 22 are controlled so that their processes are synchronized. By these controls, the sound output from the sound output unit 6 and the lighting state of the light emitting element 4 are synchronized, and an advanced effect is exhibited by these mutual effects.

  As described above, in the second embodiment described above, the ramp data is compressed and stored in the audio ROM 8.

  That is, from the viewpoint of the storage location, the lamp data is stored in the audio ROM 8 instead of being stored in the program ROM and being read out through the CPU as in the prior art. Since the capacity of the program ROM is several megabytes, the capacity of the voice ROM 8 is in units of gigabytes, so that it can cope with a large amount of lamp data. In addition, since the CPU is not interposed, the load on the CPU can be reduced.

  Further, since the ramp data is compressed and stored from the viewpoint of the storage method, the large capacity voice ROM 8 can be used more effectively.
