Description

  The present invention relates to a toy system including a main toy and a sub toy.

As one form of the toy system, there is known a configuration in which a main toy (buckle and belt) and a sub toy (ring) are provided, and when the sub toy approaches the main toy, the main toy performs a predetermined effect such as voice output. (For example, see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 51222014

The conventional toy system described above is based on the premise that a plurality of types of sub-toys exist and each sub-toy is sold individually, and the main toy only produces effects related to the sub-toys owned (purchased) by the user. Can be performed. Therefore, it is necessary to store in advance the effect data relating to all types of sub toys sold in a memory built in the main toy.

Therefore, there were some problems. One problem is that data stored in the memory of the main toy is analyzed by a malicious person and the contents of the effect can be known. In order for the user to enjoy a new effect with the main toy, it is necessary to acquire a sub toy that the user does not own. However, by analysis, it is possible to know what kind of effect is performed without acquiring the sub toy. In addition, there is a risk that voices and images based on the analyzed effect data may be disclosed on the Internet.

Another problem is that the production of the main toy must be completed only after all types of sub toys to be sold have been decided and the production for each sub toy has been decided and the corresponding production data has been completed. It cannot be started. For example, if it takes a long time to obtain a copyright licensing agreement for a certain effect, the production of the main toy may be delayed. When the toy system is manufactured and sold in tie-up with a TV program for children, it is desirable that the production of the main toy should match the production used in the TV broadcast program. However, the production of main toys cannot be started unless all the productions used in the TV program have been determined and all the production data that matches the production data have been completed. However, production of the main toys may be delayed, and if the sales of the main toys are started at the same time as the start of the broadcast of the TV program, the time required for the production of the main toys will be shortened. However, there is a risk that the number of main toys that can be manufactured before the start of sales may decrease.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the possibility that the effect of a main toy is known by data analysis.

Next, referring to the effect control data table 234, it is determined whether or not the effect control data corresponding to the read sub toy ID is stored. If it is stored (step B5: YES), effect control based on the corresponding effect control data is performed (step B7). If it is not stored (step B5: NO), no effect is output, or An effect control based on the corresponding basic effect control data is performed (step B7). afterwards,
Returning to step B1, the same processing is repeated.

[Effects]
As described above, in the toy system 1 of the present embodiment, the main toy 20 has the effect control data table 2 in which the effect control data corresponding to each of the sub toy IDs indicating the type of the sub toy 30 is stored.
34 are stored. When the information terminal 40 reads the sub toy ID of the corresponding sub toy 30, acquires the effect control data corresponding to the sub toy ID from the server system 10, and transmits the effect control data to the main toy 20, the effect control is performed. It is stored in the data table 234.

That is, in order to store the effect control data in the main toy 20, the corresponding sub toy 30 is required. Further, from the main toy 20 in a state where the effect control data is not stored, even if the data is analyzed, it is not possible to know what effect will be performed. This allows
The main toy 20 is not analyzed, and it is not known what kind of effect is performed. Moreover, since the stored effect control data is data acquired using the corresponding sub toy 30, the user knows the effect based on the effect control data, and there is no problem.

In addition, after the main toy 20 is manufactured and sold (after shipment), the effect control data can be additionally stored in the main toy 20, and the main toy 20 can be manufactured early regardless of the determination of the effect contents. It is possible to do.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, in a toy system including a sub toy that transmits different IDs according to types and a main toy that performs an effect corresponding to the ID received from the sub toy, By the analysis, even if there is no sub toy, it is possible to prevent the effect performed by the main toy from being known when the ID of the sub toy is received (read). That is, in order to store new effect control data in the main toy, the information terminal receives the ID held by the sub toy, and the information terminal acquires the effect control data corresponding to the received ID from the server, It is necessary to transmit the acquired effect control data to the main toy and store it. Therefore, even if the data analysis is performed, the effect control data is not stored in the state of the main toy 20 at the time of manufacture and sale, so it is not known what effect is to be performed. Even if the production control data is obtained by data analysis, since the data is data stored using the corresponding sub toy, the user knows the production based on the production control data, and Does not occur.

Further, according to the first embodiment, since the effect control data provided from the server can be replenished at a later date, a main toy to which a new effect can be added after manufacture and sale can be realized.

Then, when the sub toy 230 is made to approach the main toy 220 (for example, “over”), the main toy 220 performs an effect according to the type (the sub toy ID) of the sub toy 230 that is brought close. Specifically, the main toy 220 includes a sub toy 230
A plurality of effect control data corresponding to each type (sub toy ID) are stored. Then, the main toy 220 reads the sub toy ID stored (held) in the sub toy 230 approached, and performs an effect based on the effect control data corresponding to the read sub toy ID. here,
The effects in the main toy 220 include, for example, a sound output of a predetermined message, a sound output of a predetermined sound effect, a display output of a predetermined text or image, and a light emission output in a predetermined color pattern.

As shown in FIG. 13, the effect control data includes basic effect control data and applied effect control data. The application effect control data in the failure state is updated by predetermined update control data, and becomes data in a complete state that can be used for effect control.

As shown in FIG. 14, the failure states of the application effect control data include (1) a lack of the entire data,
There are three modes: 2) missing data part and (3) encryption. Either form may be adopted.

First, “whole data missing” is a state in which applied effect control data is not stored in main toy 220. In this case, the applied effect control data itself becomes the update control data.
In the case of adopting this “missing data” as a failure state, a mechanism is realized in which after the main toy 220 is manufactured and sold, application effect control data is created and newly added to the main toy 220. Therefore, in this case, the production of the main toy 220 can be started even if all the contents of the effect to be output have not been determined.

The “data part missing” is a state in which a part of the applied effect control data stored in the main toy 220 is missing. For example, there is a form in which bits in a predetermined order such as an odd number and data in a continuous predetermined bit range such as a bit number to a bit number are missing.
In this case, a combination of data indicating a missing portion (such as a bit number) and data of the missing portion is update control data. In addition, as the applied production control data of the failure state, an identifier used for identifying the production control data is set in the initial state at the time of manufacture and sale (at the time of shipment).
0, and the effect control data associated with the stored identifier may be used as the update control data. In this case, at the time of updating, the effect control data (update control data) associated with the identifier is the same as the identifier associated with the identifier (failure state applied effect control data) stored in main toy 220. The main toy 220 stores the application effect control data in association with the identifier. In addition, as the applied production control data in the failure state, an extension indicating the file type of the production control data file is stored in the main toy 220 in an initial state at the time of manufacture and sale (at the time of shipment), and the extension is stored in the file name. The effect control data file in a state that is not included in the control information may be used as the update control data. In this case, at the time of updating, the file name of the update control data is modified so that the extension (failure state applied effect control data) stored in the main toy 220 is added, and the applied effect control data is added to the main toy 220. Is stored as In short, the "data part missing" state as a failure state of the application effect control data includes a state in which only a part of data which can be determined independently of the contents of the effect is stored in the main toy 220. I have.

“Encrypted” is a state in which the applied effect control data stored in the main toy 220 is encrypted. In this case, a decryption key corresponding to the encryption method becomes update control data.

Update of the effect control data will be described with reference to FIG. The update control data is stored in the server system 210 in association with the sub toy ID. The effect control data is different for each type of sub toy 230 (sub toy ID), so the update control data is also
It differs for each sub toy ID).

First, when the sub toy 230 approaches the information terminal 240, the information terminal 240 reads (receives) the sub toy ID stored (held) in the approached sub toy 230 (a).
Next, the information terminal 240 requests update control data from the server system 210 together with the read sub toy ID (b). Then, from the server system 210, the sub toy I
The update control data corresponding to D is received (acquired) (c). Subsequently, when the information terminal 240 and the main toy 220 are brought close to each other, the information terminal 240 uses the acquired update control data to output a corresponding application effect control among the application effect control data stored in the main toy 220. The data is updated (d).

As described above, the effect control data (here, the applied effect control data) stored in the main toy 220 is data in a failure state at first. Therefore, even if the effect control data in the failed state is incorrectly acquired by the data analysis, it is not known what effect will be performed. Further, even if the production control data in the complete state is obtained by the data analysis, the data is the data updated to the complete state using the corresponding sub toy 230 in the first place. I know the production based on the game, and there is no problem.

The acquisition unit 2422 reads the sub toy ID stored (held) in the sub toy 230 (
Receiving) (step A3). Next, the update control data acquisition unit 2424 requests the server system 210 for update control data of the read sub toy ID (step A).
5). Then, update control data transmitted from the server system 210 in response to the request is obtained (received) and added to the update control data group (step A7). Thereafter, the fact that the update control data has been obtained is notified by, for example, audio output or image display (step A).

Further, if communication with main toy 220 is established (step A11: YES), effect data update control unit 2426 sets effect control data table 223 stored in main toy 220.
4 and the acquired update control data group 2434, and selects updateable data from the applied effect control data in the failure state stored in the main toy 220 (step A13). Next, the selected application effect control data is updated to data in a complete state using the corresponding update control data (step A15). Then, the completion of the update of the applied effect control data is notified, for example, by voice output or image display (step A17). Thereafter, the process returns to step A1, and the same processing is repeated.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the effect control processing in main toy 220. This function is implemented when the toy processing unit 2220 executes the effect control program 2232.

If toy processing unit 2220 establishes communication with sub toy 230 (step B1: YE

If it is in a complete state (step B5: YES), effect control based on the corresponding applied effect control data is performed (step B7). If it is in a failure state (step B5: NO), effect control based on the corresponding basic effect control data is performed. Perform (Step B7). Thereafter, the process returns to step B1, and the same processing is repeated.

[Effects]
As described above, in the toy system 21 of the present embodiment, the main toy 220 corresponds to each of the sub toy IDs indicating the type of the sub toy 230, and the basic state control data in the complete state and the application effect control data in the incomplete state. Effect control data table 223 storing effect control data including
4 is stored. For the application effect control data of the insufficiency state, the information terminal 240 reads the sub toy ID of the corresponding sub toy 230, acquires update control data corresponding to the sub toy ID from the server system 210, and updates the update control data. Updating by using is updated to the complete state.

In other words, in order to update the application effect control data in the failure state to the complete state, the corresponding sub toy 2
30 is required. In addition, it is not possible to know what effect will be performed from the data on the insufficiency state. As a result, even if the main toy 220 is analyzed and the applied effect control data is illegally acquired, it is not known what kind of effect is performed. Also,
If the applied effect control data is in a perfect state, since the data is updated using the corresponding sub toy 230, the user knows the effect based on the applied effect control data, and there is no problem.

When the failure state of the application effect data stored in the main toy 220 is “whole data missing”, that is, when the application effect control data itself is acquired from the server system 210 as update control data, After production / sales (after shipment) of the toy 220, applied effect control data can be created and additionally stored in the main toy 220. Even if all the effect contents are not determined, the main toy 220 can be It is possible to start the production.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, in a toy system including a sub toy that transmits different IDs according to types and a main toy that performs an effect corresponding to the ID read from the sub toy, By the analysis, even if there is no sub toy, it is possible to prevent the effect performed by the main toy from being known when the ID of the sub toy is received. That is, the table data of the failure state is stored in the main toy. The effect control data of the table data in the incomplete state can be brought to the complete state one by one. For this purpose, the information terminal receives the ID transmitted by the sub toy, and the effect corresponding to the received ID. It is necessary for the information terminal to obtain update control data for bringing the control data into a complete state from the server, and to update the effect control data in the main toy using the obtained update control data. Therefore, even if data analysis is performed,
In the effect control data in which the obtained data is in a failure state, it is not known what effect is to be performed. In addition, even if the production control data in a perfect state is obtained by data analysis,
Since the data is data that has been completely updated using the corresponding sub toy, the user knows the effect based on the effect control data, and there is no problem.

Further, according to the second embodiment, the failure state table data is data in a state where the effect control data corresponding to some or all of the IDs is missing. The server stores data for supplementing the missing effect control data as update control data. And
When the information terminal supplements the corresponding update control data to the table data of the main toy, the corresponding effect control data is updated to a complete state. Therefore, even if data analysis is performed in the failure state, the effect control data itself is missing, so that it is not recognized what effect is to be performed. In addition, since the main toys are manufactured and sold in a state where the production control data is missing, and supplemented with data provided from the server at a later date, a main toy that can add a new production after production and sales is realized. be able to.

Further, according to the second embodiment, the failure state table data is data in a state where the effect control data corresponding to some or all of the IDs is encrypted. Further, the server stores data for decrypting the encrypted effect control data as update control data.
Then, when the information terminal decodes the corresponding effect control data, the corresponding effect control data is updated to the complete state. Therefore, even if data analysis is performed in a failure state,
Since the effect control data is encrypted, the effect to be performed is not recognized.

[Modification]
The embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

(A)
For example, in the second embodiment, the information terminal 240 uses the effect data update control unit 2426.
And, through the terminal short-range wireless communication unit 2418, the application control data of the failure state stored in the main toy 220, out of the update control data stored as the acquisition update control data group 2434, The corresponding update control data is used to update the data in a complete state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The information terminal 240 is provided with an update control data transmission unit instead of the production data update control unit. Sends the update control data stored as the acquired update control data group 2434 to the main toy 220 via the terminal short-range wireless communication unit 2418,
Using the updated control data received by the toy processing unit 2220 of the main toy 220 via the toy short-range wireless communication unit 2218, the failed application control data stored in the main toy 220 is converted into the complete state data. It may be updated. That is, the means for performing the update control may be provided in the information terminal 240 or the main toy 220.

(B)
Also, for example, the information terminal 240 may store the update control data table 2134. That is, the information terminal 240 acquires the update control data table 2134 together with the update control program 2432 from the server system 210 in advance by downloading or the like. In this case, as an initial state, updating using all update control data stored in the update control data table 2134 is set to “impossible”. And sub toy 2
When 30 is approached, the setting using the update control data corresponding to the sub toy ID read from the sub toy 230 is changed to “possible”.

Then, when the information terminal 240 and the main toy 220 are brought closer to each other, the application control data of the failed state stored in the main toy 220 and updated using the corresponding update control data in the update control data table 2134 Is updated so that the information terminal 240 is in a complete state.

(C)
Further, the number of times the information terminal 240 updates the applied effect control data using the update control data acquired from the server system 210 may be limited. Specifically, in the acquired update control data group 2434, the number of updates that are counted up each time the update control data is used is stored in association with each update control data. Then, the update control data whose update count has reached the limit count is made unusable for subsequent updates, or the update control data is deleted from the information terminal 240.

(D)
In both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the communication between the main toy, the sub toy, and the information terminal is short-range wireless communication, but may be wired communication.

(E)
In both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, it has been described that there are two types of effect control data, basic effect control data and applied effect control data, in association with each of the sub toy IDs. The effect control data corresponding to each toy ID may be only applied effect control data. In this case, the basic effect control data may be unnecessary, or the same basic effect control data may be commonly used for a plurality of sub toy IDs.

(F)
In both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the main toy and the sub toy may be any toys. For example, as in Patent Literature 1, the main toy may be a buckle (and belt) or a weapon toy that can be gripped by hand, and the sub toy may be a ring. In this case, various auxiliary toys such as figures and cards other than rings can be considered. However, if the main toy can be worn or held by the user on the body, and the sub toy can be worn or held on the body by the user as well, the user can pose in a certain way (this is also a TV program). It is desirable that the main toy reads the ID of the sub toy when the sub toy is placed at a position where the ID can be read with respect to the main toy. It is also possible to use a motion-responsive toy in which the pause play and the production output are linked. However, in both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the main toy and the sub toy are not particularly limited to those that can be worn on the body or that can be gripped by the hand. The main toy may be a station-type toy at the station, the sub toy may be a train toy, and the effect output from the main toy by reading the train toy may be an announcement sound of the station platform.
In addition, the main toy is a robot toy, and the sub toy is a part (for example, a weapon or a pilot doll) that can be attached to the robot toy. By reading the part, the sound corresponding to the part from the robot toy (for example, a weapon) If it's an attack sound, if it's a pilot voice)
May be output. In addition, the main toy is a weapon toy such as a gun or a sword, and the sub toy is a part (for example, a bullet or a decorative part) that can be attached thereto. By reading the part, a sound corresponding to the part is output from the weapon toy. It may be done. Also, the main toy is a toy that imitates a practical product such as a mobile phone or cosmetics, and the sub toy is a part that can be attached to it, and by reading the part, the effect according to the part is output. Is also good.

(G)
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the same NFC (Near Fie) is used as communication means between the main toy and the sub toy, and between the main toy and the information terminal and between the sub toy and the information terminal.
ld Communication (short-range wireless communication) is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the main toy communicates with the information terminal, and the sub toy communicates with the information terminal using the first communication means. However, the main toy and the sub toy use the second communication means (or reading means) different from the first communication means. The main toy may be used to read the ID of the sub toy. More specifically, as the first communication means, data communication by NFC (Near Field Communication: Near Field Communication) is used as in the above-described embodiment, and between the main toy and the sub toy, between the toys, In order to reduce the cost, the second communication means (or reading means) may be configured to read an uneven portion expressing an ID provided on the sub toy by infrared rays or a physical switch provided on the main toy. ).
