The lid position detection unit 17 in this embodiment is pressed by the projection provided on the lid 2 only when the lid 2 is in the open position. The lid position detection unit 17 turns on the contact by being pressed by the protrusion, and turns off the contact when the pressing by the protrusion is released. The contact signal from the lid position detection unit 17 is input to the control unit 14 as information on the open / close position of the lid 2. The lid 2 in this embodiment is provided with a protrusion (not shown) at the end closest to the hinge 3.

  When playing in a play mode such as a game, the push button unit 18 performs an operation input for selecting one of a plurality of options output by voice, an operation input for advancing a play, and the like. It is possible. The push button portion 18 is disposed to be exposed to the surface 10 a. The push button portion 18 exemplified in this embodiment is disposed in a region of about half of the surface 10 a opposite to the hinge portion 3. The push button unit 18 can be illuminated in various colors by the operation output unit 12 as described above.

  The lid portion 2 is disposed so as to cover the first area A1 and the open position (see FIG. 1) which allows the IC tag 41 to enter into the first area A1, and the IC tag 41 is disposed in the first area A1. It can be opened and closed between the closed position (see FIG. 2) that restricts entry. The lid portion 2 illustrated in this embodiment covers the entire surface 10 a of the housing portion 15 when disposed at the closed position. Further, the lid 2 illustrated in the embodiment has the opening edge 2a formed in a substantially circular shape.

  In addition, when the lid 2 is disposed at the closed position, the outer surface 2b of the lid 2 is disposed outside the first area A1 (in other words, at a position away from the antenna 31). There is. The lid portion 2 in this embodiment is formed in a dome shape which is concave toward the surface 10 a when the lid portion 2 is disposed at the closed position. As shown in FIG. 2, in the closed position, the lid 2 in this embodiment is formed in a three-dimensional curved surface which is formed to gradually approach the central axis a2 from the opening edge 2a toward the first side Dw1. ing. The number of loops of the antenna unit 31 is such that the outer surface 2b of the lid 2 is disposed outside the first area A1 and the first area A1 is disposed outside the thickness direction Dw than the surface 10a. The size may be adjusted.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the lid 2 is provided with a mirror M on the inner surface 2c. The mirror M can reflect the user when the lid 2 is in the open position. In this embodiment, although the case where the circular mirror M is arrange | positioned in the center of the cover part 2 is illustrated, the shape and arrangement | positioning of the mirror M are not restricted to circular and center arrangement | positioning.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the lid 2 includes a pressing member 21 that allows the push button 18 to be pressed from the outside of the lid 2 in the closed position. One end 21 a of the pressing member 21 is exposed to the outside of the lid 2. One end 21a in this embodiment is formed to be exposed in a heart shape. On the other hand, the other end 21b (see FIG. 1) of the pressing member 21 contacts the push button 18 when the lid 2 is in the closed position.

  The pressing member 21 is displaceable between an initial position in which the push button portion 18 is not pressed and a pressing position in which the push button portion 18 is pressed. The pressing member 21 is biased toward the initial position. The pressing member 21 is displaced to a pressing position for pressing the push button portion 18 when the end 21a is pressed from the outside by the user, and returns to the initial position when the pressing by the user is released. The pressing member 21 in this embodiment is formed of a material capable of transmitting light, similarly to the push button portion 18. Thus, when the lid 2 is in the closed position, the pressing member 21 guides the light of the push button portion 18, and the heart-shaped end 21a is illuminated.

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the hinge portion 3 pivotally supports the lid portion 2 with respect to the housing portion 15. The hinge portion 3 in this embodiment includes a hinge pin 32 extending in a direction orthogonal to the axis a1 of the antenna portion 31 described above, and a first bulging portion 33 formed to bulging from the side surface 10c of the housing portion 15 And a second bulging portion 34 bulging out from the vicinity of the opening edge 2 a of the lid portion 2. The second bulging portion 34 is rotatably connected to the first bulging portion 33 about the hinge pin 32.

  The lid portion 2 is provided with a locking portion 35 that can be locked to the side surface 10 c of the housing portion 15 on the opposite side of the second bulging portion 34 in the circumferential direction of the opening edge 2 a. The locking portion 35 is formed to extend between the opening edge 2 a of the lid 2 and the side surface 10 c of the housing 15 when the lid 2 is disposed at the closed position, and the lid 2 is formed. It prevents the displacement from the closed position to the open position. The locking portion 35 in this embodiment is released from the locked state by being elastically deformed outward by the user when the lid portion 2 is displaced from the closed position to the open position.

Here, the antenna unit 31 described above is disposed at a position closer to the hinge unit 3 than the central position (central axis a2) of the housing unit 15 in plan view. In this case, the outer surface of the hinge 3 may be disposed outside the area which can transmit and receive the IC tag 41 in the direction intersecting the thickness direction of the housing 15. By doing this, even if the IC tag 41 is brought close to the housing unit 15 from the hinge unit 3 side, the hinge unit 3 becomes an obstacle, and it can be suppressed that the identification information ID is read by the tag reader unit 11 .
Furthermore, a wide space is secured on the opposite side to the hinge 3 in the housing 15 as much as the antenna 31 is disposed closer to the hinge 3 than the central position of the housing 15 in plan view. it can. Therefore, in the housing part 15, the installation freedom degree of components other than the antenna part 31 can be improved.

In the antenna of the IC tag 41, power is generated mainly by an electromagnetic wave penetrating in the thickness direction. The semiconductor chip of the IC tag 41 is driven by this power. Then, when driven, the semiconductor chip of the IC tag 41 transmits the identification information ID stored in advance through the antenna.

  The base member 42 accommodates the IC tag 41 inside. Here, in the tip member 200 exemplified in this embodiment, a tip member 200 for transformation and a tip member 200 for magic exist depending on settings on a program. In addition, there are a plurality of types of tip members 200 for transformation and tip members 200 for magic. The design of the tip member 200 differs depending on the type of the tip member 200. That is, these chip members 200 have different designs according to the identification information ID of the IC tag 41.

  The base member 42 in this embodiment includes a base main body 43 and a jewel portion 44. The base main body 43 includes a mounting surface 43 a on which the IC tag 41 is mounted. The jewel portion 44 is formed to imitate a gem and has a bottom surface 44a opposite to the mounting surface 43a. The IC tag 41 is held so as to be sandwiched between the mounting surface 43 a of the base main body 43 and the bottom surface 44 a of the jewel portion 44. Although the case where the IC tag 41 is held using the jewel portion 44 has been described, a dedicated member for holding the IC tag 41 may be used separately from the jewel portion 44.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the base member 42 holds the IC tag 41 such that the IC tag 41 is disposed at the center in the thickness direction of the base member 42. The base member 42 in this embodiment holds the IC tag 41 such that the thickness direction of the base member 42 and the thickness direction Dwj of the IC tag 41 coincide with each other. The distance La from the center position of the IC tag 41 to the outermost position of the jewel portion 44 in the thickness direction Dwj of the IC tag 41, ie, the thickness direction of the base member 42, is the distance from the center position of the IC tag 41 It is equal to the distance Lb to the outermost position of the base body 43 opposite to the portion 44.

  Here, the base member 42 of the tip member 200 for transformation uses an attachment portion 47 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) to which a string, a chain, or the like can be attached so that the tip member 200 can be hung on a user's neck. Is equipped. Then, when performing makeshift play, the makeover tip member 200 is disposed in front of the user's chest (see FIG. 8). In addition, even if the base main body 43 of the tip member 200 for transformation is subjected to processing such as resin plating so that the user can visually identify the tip member 200 for transformation and the tip member 200 for magic. good.

Next, the play method by the pronunciation toy of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

As a result of the determination as to whether or not the lid 2 is in the closed position, when it is determined that the lid 2 is in the closed position ("Yes" in step S03), the control unit 14 operates the push button 18 It is determined whether or not it is (step S04).
Here, since the lid portion 2 is in the closed position, the determination as to whether or not the push button portion 18 has been operated can be reworded as determination as to whether or not the pressing member 21 has been operated.

If it is determined that the push button portion 18 is operated as a result of the determination as to whether or not the push button portion 18 is operated, then, as shown in FIG. The sound generation toy 100 is held over (displaced to a position shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 8), and the identification information ID is read. As shown in FIG. 9, at this time, the sounding toy 100 has a posture in which the back surface 10b of the housing unit 15 faces the jewel portion 44 side of the tip member 200, and the IC tag 41 enters the second area A2.
On the other hand, since the lid 2 is in the closed position, even if the tip member 200 is held over the lid 2 on the surface 10a side (first side Dw1) of the sound producing toy 100, the IC tag 41 is the first area I can not get into A1. Therefore, the identification information ID is not read by the tag reader unit 11.

  Here, when the identification information ID is input from the tag reader unit 11, the control unit 14 can determine that the identification information ID has been read (Yes in step S05). Note that, for example, after step S04, the control unit 14 may cause the operation output unit 12 to output a voice or the like prompting the user to hold the sound producing toy 100 over the tip member 200.

Next, the user displaces the lid 2 from the closed position to the open position. At this time, the user opens the lid 2 upward in a posture in which the thickness direction Dw of the housing 15 faces the vertical direction.
The control unit 14 determines that the lid 2 is displaced to the open position based on the information on the open / close position of the lid 2 input from the lid position detection unit 17 (Yes in step S06). Note that, for example, after step S05, the control unit 14 may cause the operation output unit 12 to output a voice or the like prompting the user to displace the lid 2 of the sound producing toy 100 to the open position. .

When the lid portion 2 is opened (Yes in step S06), the operation of "play only" starts (step S07). That is, the control unit 14 reads from the storage unit 13 the operation data associated with the combination of the mode information (A mode), the identification information ID, and the open / close position information (blocked position (“Yes” in step S03)). Then, the operation output unit 12 is operated according to the operation data. Here, the operation in the “play only” in this embodiment is an operation such as performing various light effects while playing the same music as the music flowing during the transformation of the heroine. In addition, during the "play only", the control unit 14 may output a predetermined sound effect by operating the push button unit 18 in accordance with the music.
When a series of operations in the "play only" are finished, the process returns to step S02 described above.

(Picture book play, other play)
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S03 described above that the lid 2 is in the open position ("No" in step S03), the control unit 14 determines whether the push button unit 18 is operated. (Step S08). If it is determined that the push button unit 18 is not operated by determining whether the push button unit 18 is operated ("No" in step S08), the control unit 14 determines whether the identification information ID is read It is determined whether or not it is (step S09). In other words, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the identification information ID has been read, and after the lid 2 is displaced to the open position, the tip member 200 is not operated in a state where the push button unit 18 is not operated. It is determined whether or not holding up to the pronunciation toy 100. Here, as shown in FIG. 10, the user holds the tip member 200 over the surface 10 a of the sound producing toy 100 and reads the identification information ID. Although the identification information ID can be read also from the second area A2 on the back surface 10b side, normally the identification information ID can not be read from the second area AA2 on the back surface 10b because the back surface 10b faces downward. .

If it is determined in the determination (step S09) whether or not the identification information ID has been read, that is, if the tip member 200 is held against the sounding toy 100 with the lid 2 opened. If it is ("Yes" in step S09), the control unit 14 starts an operation of "picture book play" (step S10). That is, the control unit 14 reads, from the storage unit 13, operation data associated with a combination of mode information (A mode), identification information ID, and open / close position information (open position (“No” at step S03)). Then, the operation output unit 12 is operated according to the operation data. Here, the operation in the “book book play” in this embodiment is an operation such as performing a light effect while making the voice of the explanation based on the type of the tip member 200 or the like. In the illustrated book play, a tip member 200 for transformation and a tip member 200 for magic can be used.
When the operation of "picture book play" is finished, the process returns to step S02 described above.

If it is determined in step S08 that the push button unit 18 has been operated ("Yes" in step S08), the control unit 14 starts the "other play" operation (step S11). The other in-playing operation in this embodiment is an operation in which sound effects and the words of the character appearing in the play are output in accordance with the operation of the push button unit 18. Here, among the speeches of the character, one of the speech of a plurality of speeches stored in advance in the storage unit 13 is randomly output.
When the operation of "other play" is finished, the process returns to step S02 described above.

(Game play)
If it is determined that the mode is not the A mode in the determination of step S02 described above, that is, if it is determined that the mode is the B mode, the control unit 14 determines whether the lid 2 is in the open position (step S12). ). If it is determined that the cover 2 is in the open position ("Yes" in step S12) as a result of the determination as to whether the cover 2 is in the open position ("Yes" in step S12), the control unit 14 selects one of the plurality of game types. One button can be selected by the button unit 18 (step S13).

  In this embodiment, every time the user presses the push button portion 18, the next “game play” game name is sequentially voice-outputted. The voice output of the game name is looped, and for example, after the last game name is voice-outputted, the game name is returned to the first game name. In this embodiment, by holding the tip member 200 over the sound producing toy 100 after the game name is voice-outputted, it is possible to determine "game play" of the game name voice-outputted immediately before There is.

  When the type of game to be played in the “game play” is determined, the control unit 14 outputs a voice prompting the reading of the identification information ID. Then, when the identification information ID is read (Yes in step S13), the control unit 14 starts the operation of the determined “game play”. That is, the control unit 14 uses a combination of mode information (B mode) and game play type information, or a combination of mode information (B mode) and game play type information and identification information ID. The associated operation data is read out from the storage unit 13 and the operation output unit 12 is operated according to the operation data.

  Here, the operation during the “game play” in this embodiment differs depending on the type of game, and, for example, the sound of fortunetelling flows, the music in the play flows, and the push button unit is switched according to the music There are operations that change 18 light colors. In addition, the push button unit 18 may be used in the game during the “game play”. The game using the push button unit 18 includes, for example, play such as causing the user to push the push button unit 18 when the push button unit 18 has a designated light color. When the "game play" operation is finished, the process returns to step S02 described above.

  When the cover 2 is displaced to the closed position during the above-described "playing game", "picture book game", "other game", and "game game", the control unit 14 performs interrupt processing to execute each process. After the play operation ends, the process returns to step S02.

  Therefore, according to the embodiment described above, it is possible to use the first area A1 and the second area A2 properly in the case of performing the "play only" and the case of performing the other play. Therefore, even if the attitude of the housing unit 15 is such an attitude that the IC tag 41 can not be inserted into the second area A2, as in the case of performing "game play" or "picture book play", the first area An IC tag 41 can be inserted into A1.

Furthermore, when the lid portion 2 is in the closed position, the IC tag 41 does not enter the first area A1, and therefore the IC tag 41 enters the first area A1 when the second area A2 is used in "play only" Thus, the identification information ID of the IC tag 41 that has entered the first area A1 can be prevented from being read by the tag reader unit 11.
As a result, the sounding toy 100 can easily read the identification information ID of the tip member 200 in a plurality of postures, and can suppress reading of the identification information ID in an unintended posture.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the control unit 14 outputs the operation data from the storage unit 13 based on the identification information ID received by the tag reader unit 11 and the information on the open / close position of the lid 2 used in the determination of step S03. It reads out and controls the operation of the operation output unit 12. Therefore, even when the tag reader unit 11 receives the same identification number, the operation of the operation output unit 12 can be made different depending on the open / close state of the cover unit 2.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the control unit 14 is based on the information of the mode selected by the mode selection unit 16, the identification information ID received by the tag reader unit 11, and the information of the open / close position of the lid 2. Then, the operation data is read from the storage unit 13 and the operation of the operation output unit 12 is controlled. Therefore, even when the tag reader unit 11 receives the same identification number, the operation of the operation output unit 12 can be differentiated according to the open / close state of the cover unit 2 or the information of the mode selected by the mode selection unit 16. it can.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the tag reader unit 11 includes the antenna unit 31 that receives the identification information ID at the center of the housing unit 15 in the thickness direction. Therefore, the first area A1 located on the first side Dw1 in the thickness direction of the housing portion 15 and the second area A1 located on the second side Dw2 can be formed equally, and the IC tag 41 The identification information ID can be equally received in the first area A1 and the second area A2.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the chip member 200 can transmit the identification information ID to the tag reader unit 11 of the sound producing toy 100, the IC tag 41, and the base member 42 in which the IC tag 41 is disposed at the center in the thickness direction. And. Thereby, even if the chip member 200 is made to face the housing unit 15 from any direction in the thickness direction Dwj, the distance between the IC tag 41 and the antenna unit 31 can be made equal. As a result, transmission and reception can be stably performed regardless of the direction of the thickness direction Dwj of the tip member 200.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes the above-described embodiment with various modifications added thereto, without departing from the spirit of the present invention. That is, the specific shape, configuration, and the like described in the embodiment are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, the case where the lid 2 is swingably supported by the housing 15 via the hinge 3 has been described as an example. However, as long as the lid 2 can maintain the closed position and the open position, it is not limited to the opening and closing mechanism using the hinge 3.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, although it is desired to describe the case of having “game play” as the type of play, “game play” may be omitted. When this "game play" is omitted, a switch for only turning on / off the power may be provided instead of the mode selection unit 16.

  Furthermore, in the sound producing toy 100 according to the embodiment described above, the case has been described in which a plurality of play functions are provided in addition to the "play only play". However, the pronunciation toy 100 may have only one type of play function in addition to "play only". For example, when there is only one type of play other than "play only", it is not the information of the open / close position of the lid 2, but for example, only play and other play depending on the presence or absence of the operation of the push button portion 18. And may be switched. As described above, when there is only one type of play other than the "play only", the lid position detection unit 17 may be omitted.

In addition, when there is only one type of play other than "play only", after step S07 of "play only", it is made to flow directly to the processing of other plays (for example, step S09, step S10). Also good. In this case, both the lid position detection unit 17 and the push button unit 18 may not be provided.
Moreover, in the embodiment described above, the case of using a passive RFID has been described as an example. However, RFID is not limited to passive type. For example, a semi-passive RFID may be used.
