For example, the first reference value is a reference value for discriminating airsoft guns whose use is not permitted by law, and for example, the energy is set to 0.989 J (6 mm BB bullet used). The second reference value is a reference value for determining whether it is necessary to issue a warning or the like to the player or employee regarding the use of the airsoft gun. For the second reference value, for example, a publicly set value is used, and a reference value corresponding to the power upper limit set by the youth protection and training ordinances of prefectures or self-regulatory organizations for airsoft guns is used. As the third reference value, for example, a reference value corresponding to a power upper limit uniquely determined for the entire game system, for each store, or for each game device 20 is set.

The first to third reference values and the processing contents corresponding to each reference value can be changed arbitrarily. For example, the game server 10 can change the data indicating the reference value and the processing content set in the management control data by the operation of an administrator or the like. Management control data set in the game server 10 is transmitted to the game device 20 at a predetermined timing. The game device 20 stores the management control data received from the game server 10 in the storage device 32 or the memory 31, and controls the game based on the management control data.

The support member 76 is formed of an upper side support member 76U, a lower side support member 76D, a left side support member 76L, and a right side support member 76R, as shown in FIG. 11, which will be described later. FIG. 7 shows an upper side support member 76U and a lower side support member 76D.

As shown in FIG. 7, the support member 76 is provided so as to support the sheet member 72 at a position close to the display surface of the display 34 . In addition, the acoustic sensor 48 is arranged at a position slightly separated from the sheet-like member 72 supported by the support member 76 . FIG. 7 shows two acoustic sensors 48-2 and 48-4.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the front side of the sheet-like member 72 is provided with a frame impact absorbing member 73 (73L, 73R). The frame shock absorbing members 73L and 73R are belt-shaped members provided along the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R of the support member 76, respectively, on the front side thereof.

The frame impact-absorbing members 73L and 73R are made of a member capable of absorbing the impact of the BB bullet, and can be made of, for example, a soft vinyl chloride resin with a thickness of 2.0 mm. The frame shock absorbing members 73L and 73R are formed transparent, for example.

As shown in FIG. 7, the frame shock absorbing member 73R is supported by an upper support member 74R provided at a position higher than the upper side support member 76U and a lower support member 75R provided at a position lower than the lower side support member 76D. , and fixed in a plane at a position separated from the sheet-like member 72 (supporting member 76) in a state of being stretched so as to be substantially vertical. The upper support member 74R and the lower support member 75R are provided on vertical extension lines of the right side support member 76R.

Similarly, the frame shock absorbing member 73L is stretched substantially vertically by the upper and lower supporting members provided on the vertical extension line of the left side supporting member 76L. It is planarly fixed at a position separated from (the support member 76).

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the upper periphery of the lower housing 50. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the frame shock absorbing members 73L and 73R are fixed at a position separated from the sheet member 72 (support member 76). The BB bullets that have collided with the frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R drop onto the bullet recovery plate 86 and are recovered.

In this way, by providing the frame shock-absorbing members 73L and 73R for absorbing the shock caused by the collision of the BB bullets on the front side of the support member 76 (the left-side support member 76L and the right-side support member 76R), the support member 76 has a BB You can avoid bullets colliding and ricocheting. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the upper support member and the lower support member for fixing the frame shock absorbing members 73L and 73R have a small fixing surface (contact area), so the possibility of colliding with the BB bullet is low. Reduces the chance of scattering bullets.

In addition, in the configuration of the game device 20 according to the present embodiment, the upper side support member 76U of the support member 76 is located at a position hidden from the introduction direction of the BB bullet (airsoft gun) by the upper front impact absorption member 74 . Further, the lower side support member 76D is located at a position hidden from the introduction direction of the BB bullet (airsoft gun) by the lower front impact absorbing member 60, which will be described later (see FIGS. 8 and 10). Therefore, no frame impact absorbing member is provided on the front side of the upper side support member 76U and the lower side support member 76D. When the upper side support member 76U and the lower side support member 76D are provided at the positions at which the BB bullets collide, similar to the frame impact absorption members 73L and 73R, the frames corresponding to the upper side support member 76U and the lower side support member 76D are provided. You may make it provide the impact-absorbing member for.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a lower front impact absorbing member 60 is provided on the front surface of the lower housing 50 . The lower front impact absorbing member 60 is made of a member capable of absorbing the impact of a BB bullet, and can be made of soft vinyl chloride resin with a thickness of 2.0 mm, for example. As a result, it is possible to absorb the impact of the collision of the BB bullet and suppress the rebound. It should be noted that any material other than the soft vinyl chloride resin can be used as long as it is a member that can absorb the impact of the BB bullet when it collides. The lower front impact absorbing member 60 can be made transparent or colored translucent, for example, so that light from the decorative light 38 (LED panel) housed in the lower housing 50 can be transmitted.

The lower front impact absorbing member 60 is provided so that the upper end side protrudes forward from the lower end side. That is, by arranging the surface of the lower front impact absorbing member 60 so as to face obliquely downward and forward, a BB bullet shot from an airsoft gun falls downward when it collides with it. Therefore, the BB bullet that has landed on the lower front impact absorbing member 60 drops and is held by the impact absorbing object holding member 53 provided on the lower front side of the lower housing 50 .

As shown in FIG. 8, an operation panel 80, a bullet recovery plate 86, an opening 88, and the like are provided on the upper surface of the lower housing 50. As shown in FIG. The upper surface of the lower housing 50 is formed so that the front side is higher, and an operation panel 80 is provided at the front side end. The operation panel 80 has a horizontal surface or an inclined surface with a slightly lowered rear side, and is provided with, for example, a left button 81, a right button 82, an enter button 83, a coin slot 84, and a card reader 45 (member code reader). .

The bullet recovery plate 86 is formed with an inclined surface so that the front side is raised and the BB bullets drop to the rear side (back side of the lower housing 50). The bullet collecting plate 86 is for collecting BB bullets that have collided with the sheet member 72 or the frame impact absorbing members 73L, 73R and fallen, and an elastic member that absorbs the impact of the fallen BB bullets is used. For example, the bullet recovery plate 86 has a member with a small coefficient of friction on the front surface so that the BB bullets can easily fall along the inclined surface, and a member that absorbs impact is provided on the back surface.

At the rear end of the bullet recovery plate 86, an opening 88 extending in the left-right direction is provided across the entire width of the bullet recovery plate 86, for example. The opening 88 collects the BB bullets that have fallen due to the inclination of the bullet collection plate 86 in the housing. Below the opening 88, a bullet recovery rail (not shown) is provided across the entire width of the bullet recovery plate 86, and the BB bullets that have fallen into the opening 88 are arranged in a line, for example, and It is guided to the housing of the housing 50 . The bullet recovery rail is provided so as to be inclined in the guiding direction.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the side surfaces of the lower housing 50 are provided with lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R. The lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R are made of a member capable of absorbing the impact of a BB bullet, similar to the lower front impact absorbing member 60. It can be made of vinyl resin. Since the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R are thin members, they are fixed by pressing from the outside of the side surfaces with plate-like fixing members 62L and 62R.

As a result, it is possible to absorb the impact of the collision of the BB bullet and suppress the rebound. It should be noted that any material other than the soft vinyl chloride resin can be used as long as it is a member that can absorb the impact of the BB bullet when it collides. Moreover, it is closely attached to the lower front shock absorbing member 60 so as not to leave a gap, and is provided substantially perpendicularly to the lower front shock absorbing member 60 .

The lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R protrude in the front direction from the surface of the lower front impact absorbing member 60. As shown in FIG. Therefore, when a BB bullet is fired from an airsoft gun, for example, in an oblique direction toward the lower front impact absorption member 60, the BB bullet that collides with the lower front impact absorption member 60 moves toward the lower front surface due to the action such as rotation of the BB bullet. When it bounces in the left-right direction along the surface of the shock absorbing member 60, it collides with the lower side shock absorbing members 61L and 61R. The BB bullet that has collided with the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R drops as the impact is absorbed and the kinetic energy is reduced. A BB bullet that has collided with the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R falls to and is held by an impact absorbing object holding member 53 provided at the front lower portion of the lower housing 50 . By providing the lower side impact absorbing members 61L and 61R, it is possible to prevent BB bullets that have collided with the lower front impact absorbing member 60 from scattering in the lateral direction.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 8, plate-shaped spacer members 64L and 64R are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the lower housing 50, and plate-shaped spacer members are provided on the upper left and right side surfaces of the upper housing 51. Members 63L, 63R are provided. It is assumed that the spacer members 64L, 64R and the spacer members 63L, 63R have a thickness greater than the diameter of the BB bullet, for example, the same thickness. The upper side impact absorbing member 70L is fixed by a thin plate-shaped fixing member 65L on the outer surface of the spacer member 64L in the lower housing 50, and is fixed by a thin plate-shaped fixing member on the outer surface of the spacer member 63L in the upper housing 51. 66L. Further, the upper side impact absorbing member 70L is fixed in the vicinity of the rear surface of the side surface of the upper housing 51 from the upper end to the lower end by the fixing member 67L without sandwiching the spacer member 64L. Similarly, the upper side impact absorbing member 70R is fixed by a thin plate-shaped fixing member 65R on the outer side surface of the spacer member 64R in the lower housing 50, and is fixed by a thin plate-like fixing member 65R on the outer side surface of the spacer member 63R in the upper housing 51. It is fixed by a shaped fixing member 66R. Also, the upper side impact absorbing member 70R is fixed in the vicinity of the rear surface of the side surface of the upper housing 51 without sandwiching the spacer member 64R. By fixing the upper side impact absorbing members 70L, 70R in the vicinity of the rear surface of the side surface of the upper housing 51 without sandwiching the spacer members 64L, 64R, the inner sides of the gaps 71L, 71R are narrowed to form the ends. . Thus, in the game device 20, the side surfaces corresponding to the range of the opening of the upper housing 51 through which the BB bullets are introduced are formed by the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R.

Accordingly, since the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R are made of a thin member (soft vinyl chloride resin) having a thickness of 2.0 mm, for example, the area on the front side of the game device 20 is small, and the BB bullets do not collide. become difficult. Further, when BB bullets introduced into the openings from an oblique direction collide with the insides of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R, the repulsive force is smaller than when they are made of hard members, so they are less likely to scatter. Become.

Furthermore, by fixing the upper side shock absorbing members 70L and 70R with the spacer members 63L, 63R, 64L and 64R interposed therebetween, the structure accommodating the support member 76 and the display 34 and the upper side shock absorbing member 70L , 70R, left and right gaps 71L and 71R are formed, respectively. The gaps 71L and 71R are formed to be wider than the diameter of the BB bullet on the front side so that the BB bullet can enter, and the end is formed on the innermost side to stop the BB bullet that has entered. ing.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the periphery of the gap 71L formed between the upper side impact absorbing member 70L and the structure.
As shown in FIG. 9, the BB bullet OB7 directed at the target image displayed on the display 34 collides with the sheet member 72 and drops. Also, the BB bullet OB8 directed toward the left side support member 76L collides with the frame impact absorption member 73L arranged on the front side of the left side support member 76L and drops.

Then, the BB bullet OB9 introduced from the opening and colliding with the inside of the upper side impact absorbing member 70L enters the gap 71L formed between the upper side impact absorbing member 70L and the structure, Stop at the back of 71L. The BB bullet OB10 stopped at the back of the gap 71L falls.

In this way, by forming gaps 71L and 71R on the left and right sides, respectively, between the structure housing the support member 76 and the display 34 and the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R, the shock introduced from the opening, for example, It is possible to prevent the BB bullets that have collided with the insides of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L and 70R from being scattered. That is, even if the BB bullet that collides with the inner side of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L, 70R moves in the depth direction along the surfaces of the upper side impact absorbing members 70L, 70R due to the rotation of the BB bullet, it will not move forward or sideways. There is no member that rebounds in the direction, and it enters the gaps 71L and 71R like the BB bullet OB9 shown in FIG. Since the depths of the gaps 71L and 71R are narrow, the movement of the BB bullet can be reliably stopped.

Also, although not shown, a recovery mechanism for recovering BB bullets that have entered the gaps 71L and 71R can be further provided. For example, a storage tray for collecting the falling BB bullets may be provided at the bottom of the gaps 71L and 71R, or a guide path for guiding the BB bullets to the inside of the lower housing 50 may be provided so that the bullet collection plate 86 collects the BB bullets. Together with the BB bullets, it is discharged to the storage tray 54.例文帳に追加

In addition, in the present embodiment, the gaps 71L and 71R are provided on the left and right sides of the structure that accommodates the support member 76 and the display 34, but it is also possible to provide gaps above and below the structure. That is, a gap into which the BB bullet can enter may be provided around the structure housing the display 34 (target) that displays the target image.

A light 38a, such as a laser light (laser pointer), is provided at the upper center of the front surface of the upper housing 51 so that the light irradiation position (point) or the irradiation range can be clearly visually recognized. The light 38a is provided to illuminate a position or range at a predetermined distance in the front direction of the game device 20 in order to present the standing position to the player who operates the airsoft gun. The lower front impact absorbing member 60 is provided with an opening so as not to block the irradiation of light from the light 38a.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the reaching range of a BB bullet fired from an airsoft gun with respect to the game device 20. As shown in FIG.
In FIG. 10, points SP indicate the average positions at which BB bullets are fired from the airsoft gun operated by the player.

As described above, the front side of the game device 20 is provided with a member that absorbs the impact caused by the collision of the BB bullet over the entire surface. That is, in the upper housing 51, an upper front impact absorbing member 74 is provided in the upper part, and a sheet-like member 72 and a sheet-like member 72 arranged on the entire surface of the display 34 are provided in the opening into which the BB bullet is introduced. Frame impact absorbing members 73L and 73R are provided on the front surface of a supporting member 76 that supports the . Therefore, the BB bullets within the range AR1 to AR2 shown in FIG.

8 and 10, the lower front impact absorbing member 60 is provided at a height that hides the operation panel 80, the bullet recovery plate 86, and the opening 88 of the lower housing 50 from the point SP. Therefore, there is no danger of the BB bullets colliding directly with the operation panel 80, the bullet recovery plate 86, and the opening 88, causing the BB bullets to scatter.

In addition, when the BB bullets in the range AR2 to AR3 collide with the lower front impact absorbing member 60, the impact is absorbed by the lower front impact absorbing member 60 and falls, and is held by the impact absorbing object holding member 53. be done. Further, even if a BB bullet hits the impact absorbing object holding member 53 directly, the impact absorbing object holding member 53 can absorb the impact and hold the BB bullet. The detailed structure and effects of the impact absorbing object holding member 53 will be described later (FIGS. 14 to 16).

Note that FIG. 10 shows a laser light LL emitted from the light 38a. The laser light LL presents the standing position SPL of the player who operates the airsoft gun in the front direction of the game device 20, for example. The player can recognize the standing position by the laser light LL from the light 38a. Therefore, in the store 14, there is no need to install a line or the like for allowing the player to recognize the standing position of each of the game devices 20. FIG. In particular, even if the shooting position differs depending on the type of shooting game, the position corresponding to the shooting game is presented by the laser light LL emitted from the light 38a, so that the employees of the store are not burdened. .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the light 38a is provided at a height corresponding to the player's lower body and emits the laser light LL obliquely downward. There is no Therefore, even if a laser light (laser pointer) is used, safety can be ensured.

Next, attachment of the sheet member 72 to the support member 76 will be described.
The sheet-like member 72 arranged in front of the display 34 is deteriorated by receiving the impact of the BB bullets, so it is necessary to replace it as needed. In this embodiment, the impact position and the like are detected by detecting the sound when the BB bullet hits the sheet-shaped member 72 with the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4. Therefore, even if the sheet-like member 72 is replaced, it must always be fixed flat in a stably stretched state. In addition, it is desirable to be able to fix it in a stably stretched state by a simple operation.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the support members 76 (the upper side support member 76U, the lower side support member 76D, the left side support member 76L, and the right side support member 76R) and the sheet-like member 72. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, two detachable frame members 77L and 77R are detachably attached to each of the pair of opposite sides of the support member 76 (left side support member 76L, right side support member 76R). The detachable frame members 77L and 77R are fixed by, for example, a plurality of screws near the ends of the opposite sides of the sheet member 72 corresponding to the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R in the detached state. The detachable frame members 77L and 77R are attached to the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R of the support member 80, respectively, with the sheet member 72 fixed.

FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a detachable frame member 77R to which the sheet-like member 72 is fixed by a plurality of screws 78, and the right side support member 76R.

As shown in FIG. 12, the right side support member 76R is formed in a shape in which the front surface side and the side surface side are perpendicular to each other. Also, as shown in FIG. 11, the detachable frame member 77R is formed in a straight line, and the cross-sectional shape cut in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction forms a right angle with the first member and the second member, and is L-shaped. doing The left side support member 76L and the detachable frame member 77L are configured similarly to the right side support member 76R and the detachable frame member 77R, respectively.

FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13C are diagrams showing the process of attaching the detachable frame members 77L and 77R to which the sheet-like member 72 is fixed to the support member 76 (the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R). be.

As shown in FIG. 13A, the detachable frame members 77L and 77R are detached from the support member 76, so that they can be easily handled. It can be fixed by screws 78 .

Next, as shown in FIG. 13B, for example, one detachable frame member 77L is fixed to the left side support member 76L with a plurality of screws 79, for example. At this time, since the detachable frame member 77R is not fixed, the mounting work can be easily performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13B, the end of the first member of the other detachable frame member 77R is brought into contact with the right side support member 76R, and the end of the second surface , to the side surface of the right side support member 76R. As a result, the first member of the detachable frame member 77R is in close contact with the front surface of the right side support member 76R, and the second surface of the detachable frame member 77R is in close contact with the side surface of the right side support member 76R. Here, as shown in FIG. 13C, the right side support member 76R is fixed with a plurality of screws 79, for example.

As shown in FIG. 13B, the sheet member 72 can be stretched by moving the end of the second member in the direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing. Therefore, if the detachable frame members 77L and 77R are fixed parallel to the sheet-like member 72 at predetermined intervals, the detachable frame members 77L and 77R are attached to the left side support member 76L and the right side support member 76R. When fixed, the sheet-like member 72 can be fixed to the support member 76 while being stretched with a predetermined tension.

In this way, by enabling the sheet-like member 72 to be fixed to the support member 76 via the detachable frame members 77L and 77R, the sheet-like member 72 can be fixed flat in a stretched state by a simple operation. It becomes possible to

Next, details of the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 will be described.
FIG. 14 is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of the shock absorbing object holding member 53. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 has a configuration in which a first member 53a and a second member 53b are superimposed and integrated. The first member 53a is densely provided with bristles 53a1 longer than the size (diameter) of the BB bullet on its surface to absorb the impact of the BB bullet when it collides and to hold the BB bullet. The second member 53b is integrally provided on the back surface of the first member 53a, and has an air layer 53b1 formed thereon for absorbing the impact of the BB bullet when it collides. The bristles 53a1 of the first member 53a are sufficiently long, for example, three times or more longer than the diameter of the BB bullet in order to act to hold the BB bullet. The appropriate length of the bristles 53a1 is determined based on the material (coefficient of friction, degree of flexibility, etc.) of the bristles 53a1, the expected strength of the BB bullet at the time of collision, and the like.

The bristles 53a1 provided on the first member 53a are made of, for example, a material that is thin, flexible, and has a small coefficient of friction against BB bullets. That is, by densely accumulating thin and flexible hairs 53a1, it is possible to absorb the impact of the BB bullet when it collides. In addition, by reducing the coefficient of friction of the material of the pile 53a1, by removing the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 from the lower housing 50 and shaking it, the BB bullet held between the pile 53a1 can be easily dropped ( can be removed).

In order to form the air layer 53b1, the second member 53b is formed by laminating, for example, a plurality of thin sheet members at intervals. The thin sheet member has, for example, a raised surface, so that when laminated, an air layer is provided without sticking. The air layer 53b1 can be formed not only by laminating a plurality of thin sheet members, but also by filling a low-density fibrous material (for example, cotton).

Also, the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 is configured to be detachable from the lower housing 50 . For example, the bottom surface of the second member 53b can be provided with a member that can be engaged with the engaging member provided on the lower housing 50 so that it can be attached and detached. In addition, a member (for example, a relatively heavy planar rubber) having a large specific gravity relative to the weight of the first member 53a and the second member 53b and a large coefficient of friction is attached to the bottom surface of the second member 53b to It may be arranged so that it can be placed on the front side of the housing 50 . In this case, the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 as a whole becomes heavy, so that the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 can be easily removed from the lower housing 50 without being moved by the impact of the BB bullet.

In addition to attaching a relatively heavy planar rubber or the like to the bottom surface of the second member 53b, for example, a connecting member for fixing the second member 53b to the lower housing 50, such as a hook-and-loop fastener, may be provided. good. By fixing the second member 53b with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like, the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 is likewise prevented from moving due to the collision of the BB bullet and can be easily removed from the lower housing 50.例文帳に追加

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a situation in which a BB bullet from an airsoft gun directly hits the shock-absorbing object holding member 53. As shown in FIG. FIG. 15 shows a part of the cross section taken along line AA shown in FIG.

In FIG. 15, the BB bullet that collides with the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 by the trajectory F1 collides obliquely with the pile 53a1 of the first member 53a, so that the impact is absorbed by coming into contact with many piles 53a1. be done. Since the BB bullet is shot at a very high speed, the impact cannot be completely absorbed by the first member 53a alone, and reaches the second member 53b like the BB bullet OB2 shown in FIG.

Since the second member 53b is provided with an air layer, the second member 53b can be instantly deformed to absorb the impact of a light BB bullet OB2. Furthermore, even if the second member 53b cannot completely absorb the impact caused by the collision of the BB bullet OB2, since the piles 53a1 are densely packed around the BB bullet OB2, the friction with the piles 53a1 causes the damage shown in FIG. Like the BB bullet OB3, the movement is completely stopped, and the BB bullet OB3 is held by the pile 53a1.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing how BB bullets are collected by the shock-absorbing object holding member 53. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 16, the impact-absorbing object holding member 53 absorbs the impact of the collision and holds the BB bullet OB4 that hits directly as indicated by a locus F2, and as indicated by a locus F3. A BB bullet OB5 that collides with the impact absorbing member 60 and falls can be held.

The impact-absorbing object holding member 53 can hold a large number of BB bullets OB6 by providing a sufficiently long pile 53a1 with respect to the size of the BB bullet.

In this way, the shock-absorbing object holding member 53 is formed by superimposing the first member 53a and the second member 53b to form an integrated structure. In addition, it is possible to hold the shock absorbing object holding member 53 so as not to jump out. As a result, the BB bullet that collides with the lower front impact absorbing member 60 and the BB bullet that directly hits the impact absorbing object holding member 53 can be absorbed by absorbing the impact of the collision, and the BB bullet can be held and prevented from scattering.

Next, a modified example of the game device 20 will be described.
FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a modification of the game device 20. As shown in FIG. 17A is a plan view of the game device 20, FIG. 17B is a front view of the game device 20, and FIG. 17C is a side view of the game device 20. FIG.

The game device 20 shown in FIG. 17 has a configuration in which upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R provided on the side surfaces of the upper housing 51 can be opened and closed.

Rotating mechanisms 171L and 171R having rotating shafts in the vertical direction are provided on the side surface of the upper housing 51 . The rear ends of the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are attached to the rotating shafts of the rotating mechanisms 171L and 171R, and can be rotated horizontally by the rotating shafts.

That is, the sheet surfaces on the opening side (inside of the housing) of the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R can face the introduction direction of the BB bullet. The rotation range of the rotation mechanisms 171L and 171R is, for example, a range of about 45° from the closed state of the upper side impact absorption members 170L and 170R (the direction of the seat surface is substantially perpendicular to the introduction direction of the BB bullet). That is, the BB bullets introduced from the front and colliding with the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are allowed to rotate within the range of angles in which they bounce back to the opening side.

For example, when the game device 20 is not used while the game device 20 is being transported, the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are closed. Thereby, the overall size of the game device 20 can be reduced.

On the other hand, when the game device 20 is used, the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are opened. As a result, even if the BB bullet fired from the airsoft gun aiming at the target image displayed on the display 34 deviates from the sheet-like member 72 in the left-right direction, it hits the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R, BB bullets can be prevented from scattering outside the game device 20.例文帳に追加

Reflective members 172L and 172R inclined toward the bullet collection plate 86 provided on the lower housing 50 are provided below the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R. The reflecting members 172L and 172R are made of the same material as the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R, for example. The reflecting members 172L and 172R reflect the BB bullets in the direction of the bullet recovery plate 86 when the BB bullets collide with the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R and fall. Therefore, the BB bullets that have collided with the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R can be collected together with the BB bullets that have collided with the sheet-like member 72 .

In addition, gaps 71L and 71R are formed at portions where the structure housing the display 34 and the support member 76 and the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are adjacent to each other. Therefore, when the BB bullet that hits the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R moves inward along the surfaces of the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R due to the rotation of the BB bullet, etc., the gap 71L , 71R, and can be recovered as described above.

It is possible to operate the game device 20 even when the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are closed (the same state as in FIG. 5).

In FIG. 17, the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are openable and closable, but the upper side impact absorbing members 170L and 170R are fixed in an open state as shown in FIG. It is also possible to

Next, the operation of the game device 20 according to this embodiment will be described.
First, a method for calculating the landing position of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-shaped member 72 will be described.
FIG. 18 shows the relationship between the sheet-like member 72 (or the display 34) and the acoustic sensors 48-1, 48-2, 48-3, and 48-4 arranged near the four corners of the sheet-like member 72, respectively. ing. FIG. 18 shows impact points P of BB bullets.

The acoustic sensors 48 - 1 to 48 - 4 detect sounds generated when BB bullets hit the sheet member 72 and output sound signals representing the sounds to the sensor signal processing unit 47 . Based on the audio signals input from the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4, the sensor signal processing unit 47 calculates the detection time (audio detection time Time data indicating T1, T2, T3, T4) is detected. The sensor signal processing unit 47 also outputs to the processor 30 peak value data indicating the peak value of the amplitude of the audio signals input from the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 48-4.

According to the position detection program 32b, the processor 30 obtains the difference (detection time difference) from the time when the impact is first detected based on the sound detection times T1 to T4 detected by the sensor signal processing unit 47. FIG. That is, the processor 30 detects the detection time difference between the sound detection time T1 (acoustic sensor 48-1) at which the first impact was detected and the sound detection time T2 (acoustic sensor 48-2) at which the second impact was detected. Similarly, the detection time difference Δt3 between the sound detection time T1 and the sound detection time T3 (acoustic sensor 48-3) at which the third bullet was detected, and the sound detection time T1 and the fourth bullet were detected. A detection time difference Δt4 from the sound detection time T4 (acoustic sensor 48-4) is obtained. The detection time difference for the acoustic sensor 48 that first detected the sound is always 0, and the detection time difference Δt1=0.

Further, as shown in FIG. 18, when the distance between the point of impact P and the acoustic sensor 48 closest to the point of impact P (acoustic sensor 48-1 in the example of FIG. 18) is the distance d1, the detection time difference Δt1 Δt4 is proportional to the difference in propagation path length with respect to distance d1. That is, the distance between the point of impact P and the acoustic sensor 48-2 is obtained by d1+k×Δt2, the distance between the point of impact P and the acoustic sensor 48-3 is obtained by d1+k×Δt3, and the distance between the point of impact P and the acoustic sensor 48-2 is obtained by d1+k×Δt3. 4 is obtained by d1+k×Δt4. Here, k is the speed of sound in the sheet-like member 72 .

Therefore, the processor 30 can obtain the distances between the impact point P and the acoustic sensors 48-1 to 23-4 based on the detection time differences Δt1 to Δt4, and can specify the impact positions from these distances. can.

The position detection program 32b includes acoustic sensors 48-1 to 23-, which are obtained by causing BB bullets to land in advance on the sheet member 72, for example, at each predetermined number of target points set in a grid pattern. Arrangement data in which the detection time difference of the voice signal detected by 4 is set is prepared. The processor 30 can improve the accuracy of the impact position by referring to the array data and recalculating the impact of the BB bullet based on the detection time differences Δt1 to Δt4.

Next, a method for calculating the bullet speed (shooting speed) and kinetic energy of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-shaped member 72 will be described.
Further, in the position detection program 32b, for each of a predetermined number of target points set in a grid pattern, for example, the position detection program 32b is obtained by causing a BB bullet to land at a predetermined bullet speed. In addition, an actual measurement data table including the amplitude of the audio signal detected by the acoustic sensor 48 (for example, the average value of peak value data) is set. Based on the amplitude of the audio signal associated with the target point set in the array data surrounding the impact point P, the processor 30 calculates the amplitude of the audio signal measured when the bullet hits the sheet-shaped member 72. By correcting the amplitude, the velocity of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet member 72 can be calculated. Furthermore, the kinetic energy of the BB bullet can be calculated based on the speed of the BB bullet and the weight of the BB bullet.

In this way, the game device 20 calculates the impact position, bullet speed (shooting speed), and kinetic energy of the BB bullets that have landed on the sheet-like member 72, and uses them in the game control process described later.

Next, game control processing for executing a game on the game device 20 will be described.
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing game control processing of the game device 20 in this embodiment, and FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing game processing during the game control processing.

When notified by the coin sensor 44 that a coin has been inserted (step A1, Yes), the processor 30 starts game mode setting processing (step A2).

In the game mode setting process, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display an airsoft gun handling caution screen SC1 shown in FIG.

The handling caution screen SC1 displays an explanatory sentence SC11 for alerting the player using the airsoft gun, an explanatory diagram SC12 (still image, moving image, illustration, etc.) for explaining the handling of the airsoft gun, and the like. The handling caution screen SC1 is provided with a confirmation button SC13. For example, the player can issue a confirmation instruction by performing a selection operation using the left button 81 or the right button 82 provided on the operation panel 80 and a decision operation using the decision button 83. can accept

When the confirmation instruction is accepted, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display a selection screen SC2 for setting the number of players, as shown in FIG. 21B, for example. The selection screen SC2 displays four buttons SC21, SC22, SC23, and SC24 which can designate the number of players, for example, "1", "2", "3", and "4". Further, on the selection screen SC2, a remaining time SC25 in which the selection operation is possible is displayed while being updated according to the passage of time (for example, counting down from 30 seconds).

When one of the buttons is selected by operating the left button 81 or the right button 82 of the operation panel 80 and the determination (determination) is instructed by the decision button 83, the processor 30 determines the number of players according to the selected button. set. Note that when a plurality of players is selected, a plurality of players can take turns playing the shooting game, for example.

Next, the processor 30 shifts to a member code input waiting state, and causes the display 34 to display, for example, a member code reading operation guidance screen SC3 shown in FIG. 22(A). The guidance screen SC3 displays an explanatory sentence SC31 explaining the member code reading operation method, a diagram SC32 (still image, moving image, illustration, etc.) explaining the reading method, and the like. Further, on the guidance screen SC3, a remaining time SC33 during which the reading operation is possible is displayed while being updated according to the passage of time (for example, counting down from 30 seconds).

Here, when the member code displayed on the portable terminal 16 possessed by the player or the member code printed on the card for the guest is held over the card reader 45 provided on the operation panel 80, the card reader 45 A membership code is detected.

When the membership code is detected (step A3, Yes), the processor 30 performs authentication processing on the membership code read by the card reader 45 to determine whether the membership code is correct (step A4).

If the read member code belongs to a player who has been registered as a member (step A5, Yes), the processor 30 retrieves member-specific information (member data) registered in the game server 10 in association with the member code. Upon receipt, member data processing corresponding to the member is executed (step A8).

In the member data processing, the processor 30 displays a member authentication confirmation screen SC4 as shown in FIG. 22(B). The member authentication confirmation screen SC4 displays, for example, the nickname “Mr. The player can confirm that the member has been correctly authenticated by the member authentication confirmation screen SC4. Further, on the member authentication confirmation screen SC4, a remaining time SC44 in which confirmation operation can be completed is displayed while being updated according to the passage of time.

A completion instruction button SC43 is provided on the member authentication confirmation screen SC4, and a confirmation completion instruction from the player can be accepted by operating the decision button 83 provided on the operation panel 80, for example.

When the confirmation completion instruction is accepted, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display a game selection screen SC5 for selecting a shooting game to be played, as shown in FIG. 23, for example.

The game selection screen SC5 displays player data SC51 similar to the member authentication confirmation screen SC4, and a plurality of game selection buttons SC52 corresponding to a plurality of types of shooting games.

The game selection buttons SC52 include a newly added game button SC53, a recommended game button SC54 specified by the player's play history, etc., and a popular game button SC56 specified by other players' play history, etc. included. Ranks SC55 and SC57 based on the player's past play history are displayed on the recommended game button SC54 and the popular game button SC56, respectively. Further, the game selection screen SC5 displays a remaining time SC58 in which the game selection operation is possible while updating it as time passes.

When one of the game selection buttons is selected by operating the left button 81 or the right button 82 of the operation panel 80 and the determination is instructed by the enter button 83, the processor 30 executes the shooting game corresponding to the game selection button. Execute the game settings for the game (step A9). In the game settings, for example, settings are made according to the player's play history and customization data. After the game setting is completed, processor 30 executes game processing (step A10).

On the other hand, if the read membership code is for a guest (step A6, Yes), the processor 30 executes guest processing for the guest player. In the guest process, for example, a game selection screen for selecting a shooting game to be played is displayed on the display 34, and the player selects one of a plurality of game selection buttons included in the game selection screen.

When the game selection button is selected, processor 30 executes game settings for executing the shooting game corresponding to the game selection button (step A9). In the game settings, for example, settings are made according to the player's play history and customized data. After the game setting is completed, processor 30 executes game processing (step A10).

Next, game processing by the game device 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
When the game is started (step B1), the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display a target (target image) corresponding to the game type (step B2). When the processor 30 detects that the BB bullet has landed on the sheet-like member 72 after the target is displayed (step B3, Yes), the score is determined and counted based on the display position of the target and the landing position. .

In addition, the processor 30 causes the memory 31 to store data indicating the time of impact, the velocity of the impact, and the kinetic energy of each impact (step B4).

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of targets (target images) according to the type of shooting game.
FIG. 24(A) is an example of a target of a game simulating a bullseye competition. The Bullseye competition is about accurately shooting targets that appear one by one. At the start, as shown in FIG. 24A1, a large target is displayed in the center, and when the target is hit, the target disappears and the next target is displayed. The targets displayed next are smaller in size and more difficult, as shown in FIG. 24(A2). Thereafter, in the same way, the target is changed each time it hits. In addition to changing the size of the target, the display position is also randomly changed vertically and horizontally.

FIG. 24(B) is an example of a target of a game simulating a plate competition. In the plate game, multiple targets are displayed at the same time and shot accurately and quickly. As shown in FIG. 24B, a plurality of targets of different sizes are arranged.

FIG. 24(C) is an example of a target of a game imitating a mover competition. Mover competitions are about accurately shooting moving targets. For example, targets are moved left and right at a constant speed, and multiple targets are moved in order.

Note that the target shown in FIG. 24 is only an example, and other types of targets (target images) can be used. Since the target (target image) is displayed on the display 34, various shooting games can be realized by preparing arbitrary target images according to the type of shooting game. Since the entire display screen of the display 34 is covered with the sheet-like member 72, the target can be displayed using the entire area of the display 34. FIG.

In this way, in the game processing, the score is counted for shooting targets displayed according to the type of game within a predetermined time. On the other hand, in the game processing, the processor 30 uses data on at least one of the bullet speed and energy of the BB bullet that has landed on the sheet-like member 72 to monitor whether an appropriate airsoft gun is being used.

The processor 30 sets the first reference value, the second reference value, and the third reference value for the bullet velocity or energy of the BB bullet set in the management control data shown in FIG. compare. It is assumed that there is a relationship of first reference value>second reference value>third reference value.

If the processor 30 determines that the velocity or energy of the impacted BB bullet exceeds the first reference value for determining an airsoft gun whose use is not legally permitted (step B5, Yes), the game is stopped (step B6), for example, a message indicating the reason for stopping the game is displayed on the display 34, and a predetermined voice is output from the speaker 36 to notify that the game is stopped (step B12). In addition, the processor 30 notifies the message to the mobile terminal 16 possessed by the employee in the store by wireless communication, and outputs the message to the employee by display, voice, vibrator, or the like from the mobile terminal 16. Notice. Also, the game device 20 may notify the host device 21 so that the host device 21 outputs (displays or sounds) a message.

In addition, the processor 30 determines whether the velocity or energy of the BB bullet that has landed exceeds the second reference value according to the power upper limit set publicly by, for example, the Youth Protection and Raising Ordinance in prefectures or self-regulatory organizations for airsoft guns. If it is determined that there is (step B7, Yes), a warning message is displayed on the display 34 (a predetermined warning voice message may be output from the speaker 36). Furthermore, in the same way as when the first reference value is exceeded, the employee's mobile terminal 16 and host device 21 may be notified.

The second reference value may differ depending on the player's age. When the game device 20 receives from the game server 10 data that allows the age to be confirmed based on the member code, the game device 20 determines the age of the player based on the second reference value. and

Also, the processor 30 determines that the velocity or energy of the BB bullet that has landed exceeds a third reference value corresponding to the power upper limit that is uniquely determined for the entire game system, each store, or each game device 20. If so (step B9, Yes), a message is displayed on the display 34 (a predetermined voice message may be output from the speaker 36). Processor 30 also changes the game content according to the processing content corresponding to the third reference value set in the management control data (step B10). Changes in game content include, for example, target size changes and game time changes.

In this way, in the game device 20, when it is determined that the power upper limit set for the airsoft gun is exceeded based on the velocity of fire or the kinetic energy detected by the BB bullet that landed during the game processing, Since the message or the like is notified to the outside, not only the player but also others such as employees can confirm that an inappropriate airsoft gun is being used. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately deal with a player who uses an inappropriate airsoft gun.

If the second reference value and the third reference value are exceeded, the game processing is continued. When the game ends (steps B11, A11, Yes), the processor 30 executes game result processing and ranking processing (steps A12, A13).

In the game result processing, the processor 30 causes the display 34 to display the game result screen. In the ranking process, the processor 30 updates the ranking data such as the score of the game result transmitted to the game server 10 and displays the updated ranking on the display 34 .

FIGS. 25A and 25B are diagrams showing examples of game result screens SC6 and SC7.
In the game result screen SC6 shown in FIG. 25A, a result image SC61 including the landing position on the target, the score, the time, and the like is displayed. The game result screen SC6 also displays a post-game ranking SC62 and a graph SC63 showing changes in the ranking based on the player's game history.

In the game result screen SC7 shown in FIG. 25B, a graph SC72 of evaluation values (hit rate, concentration, agility, judgment) calculated according to the impact is displayed together with the result image SC71.

It should be noted that the game result screens SC6 and SC7 shown in FIGS. 25A and 25B are only examples, and any form of game result screen can be displayed.

When a player who has been registered as a member ends the game, the processor 30 transmits data indicating the content of the game result to the game server 10 to update the member registration data corresponding to the member code.

In the above description, the player who has been registered as a member is identified by the membership code (two-dimensional code) read by the card reader 45, but the identification is based on the image of the player captured by the camera unit 46. You can do it. The processor 30 performs individual authentication on the image captured by the camera unit 46 based on member identification data registered in advance. Also, instead of specifying the individual member, only the age of the member may be determined based on the image captured by the camera unit 46 using a known image processing method. In this case, the age of the guest player can also be discriminated and reflected in the discrimination based on the aforementioned second reference value.

Furthermore, based on the image captured by the camera unit 46, the dangerous behavior of the player, the muzzle direction (shooting direction) of the airsoft gun, etc. may be detected, and a warning message or the like may be displayed.
