The light-emitting section 43A is composed of, for example, an LED (light-emitting diode), and the light-emitting color of the light-emitting section 43A can be selected from a plurality of colors (eg, red, green, blue, yellow, etc.). In the present embodiment, the light emission color (the light emission color of the light emitting unit 43A) during the light emission effect in the sub effect is the same as the light emission color of the light emitting unit 27 in the ring reading effect (first effect) associated with each identification information. Set to the lineage color. The light emitting unit 43A is driven by an induced electromotive force generated in the transmitting/receiving unit 72A by receiving the interrogation signal. Therefore, the transformation ring 40A does not require a power source.

The sub-control section 71A controls the sub-output section 75A so as to output a sub-effect based on the read identification information in response to the question signal being received by the transmission/reception section 72A.

The transmitting/receiving section 72B of the deathblow ring 40B is capable of transmitting/receiving signals to/from the outside, and can be configured by an antenna coil. The identification information storage unit 73B stores identification information for identifying the type of the deathblow ring 40B. The sub-controller 71B is an IC chip for control, and is driven by the induced electromotive force generated in the transmitter/receiver 72B by receiving the interrogation signal from the interrogation signal transmitter 53. FIG. Therefore, no power source is required for the deathblow ring 40B. Then, the sub control unit 71B reads the identification information from the identification information storage unit 73B in response to the reception of the question signal by the transmission/reception unit 72B, and transmits the read identification information from the transmission/reception unit 72B to the identification information reception unit 55. do.

The amount of information in the identification information storage units 73A and 73B is arbitrary. For example, if the amount of information is 16 bits, the first 8 bits are used as predetermined information including company information, and the latter 8 bits are used. Bits can be used as identification information. In this case, a total of 256 types of rings with different identification information can be obtained by combining the transformation ring 40A and the deathblow ring 40B.

In addition, at least the following two pieces of information are stored in a storage device (not shown) that constitutes the effect storage section 52 in the buckle 20 .
(1) Information as to whether the current form of the relief 22 (see FIG. 3) is the transformation form or the deathblow form (which of the microswitches 35L and 35R is pressed).
(2) When the form of the relief 22 is the form for transformation (when the microswitch 35R is pressed), it is held over the relief 22 (see FIG. 3) most recently, and the identification information is received by the identification information receiving section 55. identification information of the transformed ring 40A.

(Operation example of motion responsive toy 10)
An example of operation of the action responsive toy 10 controlled by the main control section 51 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the power switch 63 is turned on (step S1), it is determined which form the relief 22 is in (step S2). If it is determined that the relief 22 is in the transforming form, the question signal transmitting section 53 starts transmitting question signals in step S3, and the main output section 57 outputs a ring reading waiting effect for transforming in step S4. do.

Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the shape of the relief 22 has changed. If the form of the relief 22 has been changed, return to step S2. On the other hand, if the shape of the relief is not changed, go to step S6.

In step S6, whether or not the identification information has been received by the identification information receiving section 55 (whether or not the ring state determination means 58 has determined that the transformation ring 40A or the deathblow ring 40B is in the approaching state). to judge. If the identification information has been received (if the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A or the deathblow ring 40B is in the approaching state), the process proceeds to step S7. On the other hand, if the identification information has not been received, the process returns to step S4.

In step S7, the identification information determination means 61 determines the type of identification information received by the identification information receiving section 55. FIG. If it is determined that the identification information belongs to the first group, in step S8, this identification information is overwritten and stored in the storage device, and the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, when it is determined that the identification information belongs to the second group, the main control section 51 reads out the first form change instruction information from the effect storage section 52 and outputs the first form change instruction. It controls the part 57 and returns to step S4. For example, as the first morphological change instruction, the sound generator 65 of the main output unit 57 emits a voice "gyakusai (reverse side)". As a result, the user notices that the relief 22 is not in the form for the deathblow technique but in the form for transformation.

In step S9, the first effect information corresponding to the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is read from the effect storage unit 52, and based on the read first effect information, the transformation ring reading effect (first effect ) is controlled to output the main output section 57 . For example, when the identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 55 is information including red light emission, the main output unit 57 outputs “hi (fire), he (fire), he (fire),” from the sound generator 65. . . ”, and red light is emitted from the light emitting unit 27 . At this time, also in the transformation ring 40A, by emitting red light of the same type from the light emitting part 43A, it is possible to perform an effect as if the light emission of the transformation ring 40A was transferred to the buckle 20.例文帳に追加

In step S11, it is determined whether or not the identification information is no longer received by the identification information receiving section 55 (whether or not the ring state determination means 58 has determined that the transformation ring 40A has moved away). If the identification information has not been received (if the ring state determination means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A has been separated), the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when the identification information is received (when the ring state determination means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A is in the approaching state), the process returns to step S9, and the transformation ring reading effect is output again. . That is, the main control unit 51 repeatedly outputs the transformation ring reading effect (first effect) while the ring state determination means 58 determines that the transformation ring 40A is in the approaching state. It controls the main output section 57 .

In step S12, the main output section 57 outputs a transformation effect (second effect) corresponding to the identification information of the transformation ring 40A. That is, when the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transforming ring 40A is separated by the action of the user during the output of the transforming ring reading effect (first effect), the transforming effect information is read from the effect storage unit 52. (Second effect information) is read, and the main output unit 57 is controlled to output a transformation effect (second effect) based on the read transformation effect information (second effect information) (Fig. 10 ( a) see). For example, as a transformation effect, in addition to the sound "please" from the sound generator 65, a performance is performed by the sound generator 65 and the light emitter 27 corresponding to the identification information.

Next, in step S13, the transmission of the interrogation signal from the interrogation signal transmitting section 53 is stopped, and in step S14, whether or not the form of the relief 22 has changed is checked to see if there has been a change in the pressed states of the microswitches 35L and 35R. Judge whether or not. If the shape of the relief 22 is changed (if the pushed microswitch is no longer pushed), the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, if the shape of the relief 22 is not changed (if the pushed microswitch is still being pushed), it is determined again whether the shape of the relief 22 has changed.

In step S2, if the relief 22 is in the deathblow mode, the process proceeds to step S15 (see FIG. 9). Also, in step S2, if the relief 22 is neither the transformation mode nor the deathblow mode (if neither microswitch is pressed), the process proceeds to step S16 to see if the relief 22 has changed. Re-determine whether or not If the relief 22 has changed to the form for transformation, the process proceeds to step S3. Also, if the relief 22 has been changed to the deathblow mode, the process proceeds to step S15 (see FIG. 9). Also, if the shape of the relief 22 has not changed, it is determined again whether the shape of the relief 22 has changed.

As shown in FIG. 9, in step S15, the interrogation signal transmission unit 53 starts to transmit an interrogation signal, and in step S17, the main output unit 57 outputs a ring-reading standby effect for a deathblow.

Next, in step S18, it is determined whether or not the shape of the relief 22 has changed. When the form of the relief 22 is changed, in step S19, the identification information of the transformation ring 40A stored in the storage device is cleared. On the other hand, if the shape of the relief 22 is not changed, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, whether or not the identification information has been received by the identification information receiving section 55 (whether or not the ring state determining means 58 has determined that the transformation ring 40A or the deathblow ring 40B is in the approaching state). to judge. If the identification information has been received (if the ring state determining means 58 determines that the transforming ring 40A or the deathblow ring 40B is in a close state), the process proceeds to step S21. On the other hand, if the identification information has not been received, the process returns to step S17.

In step S21, the identification information determination means 61 determines the type of identification information received by the identification information receiving section 55. FIG. If it is determined that the identification information belongs to the second group, the process proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, when it is determined that the identification information belongs to the first group, in step S23, the second form change instruction is output from the main output section 57, and the process returns to step S17. For example, as the second morphological change instruction, the sound generator 65 of the main output unit 57 emits a voice "gyakusai (reverse side)". As a result, the user notices that the relief 22 is in the form for the special move, not in the form for transformation. In the present embodiment, the first change instruction and the second change instruction are the same voice, "Gyakusai". It can be used as one, or of course, it can be used as a different one.

In step S22, the main output unit 57 outputs a deathblow ring reading effect (first effect) corresponding to the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B.

Next, in step S24, it is determined whether or not the identification information is no longer received by the identification information receiving section 55 (whether or not the ring state determination means 58 has determined that the deathblow ring 40B has moved away). If the identification information has not been received (if the ring state determination means 58 determines that the deathblow ring 40B has been separated), the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, if the identification information has been received (if the ring state determination means 58 determines that the deathblow ring 40B is in the close state), the process returns to step S22, and the deathblow ring reading effect is performed again. Output. That is, the main control unit 51 repeats the reading effect for the deathblow technique ring (first effect) while the ring state determining means 58 determines that the deathblow technique ring 40B is approaching. to control the main output section 57 at the same time.

In step S25, it is determined whether or not the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is stored. If the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is stored, the process proceeds to step S26. On the other hand, if the identification information of the transformation ring 40A is not stored, the main output section 57 outputs a normal deathblow effect corresponding to the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B in step S28. That is, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the ring state determining means 58 determines that the deathblow ring 40B has been separated by the user's action during output of the deathblow ring reading effect (first effect). Then, the special technique effect information (second effect information) is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the special technique effect (second The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to output the effect of (in this case, the normal special move effect).

In step S26, it is determined whether or not the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B and the identification information of the transformation ring 40A are in a specific combination. When the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B and the identification information of the transformation ring 40A are in a specific combination, the main output section 57 outputs a special deathblow performance corresponding to the specific combination. That is, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the ring state determining means 58 determines that the deathblow ring 40B has been separated by the user's action during output of the deathblow ring reading effect (first effect). Then, the special technique effect information (second effect information) is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the special technique effect (second The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to output the effect of (in this case, a special deathblow effect). On the other hand, if the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B and the identification information of the transformation ring 40A are not a specific combination, the process proceeds to step S28, and the main output section 57 outputs a normal deathblow effect. That is, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the ring state determining means 58 determines that the deathblow ring 40B has been separated by the user's action during output of the deathblow ring reading effect (first effect). Then, the special technique effect information (second effect information) is read from the effect storage unit 52, and the special technique effect (second The main output unit 57 is controlled so as to output the effect of (in this case, the normal special move effect).

In the normal deathblow effect, for example, an effect is performed in which the voice "please" is combined with the normal deathblow effect based on the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B. On the other hand, in the special deathblow effect, for example, an effect is performed by combining a voice saying "Like!" and a special deathblow effect based on the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B. Alternatively, as a special deathblow effect, it is also possible to perform an effect combining a voice saying "Very nice!" and another special deathblow effect based on the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B. Furthermore, as a special deathblow effect, an effect may be performed in which a voice saying "best!" is combined with another special deathblow effect based on the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B. In this way, various types of deathblow performances can be obtained based on the combination of the identification information of the deathblow ring 40B and the identification information of the transformation ring 40A held up most recently and stored in the storage device. can be done.

In step S29, the transmission of the interrogation signal from the interrogation signal transmission section 53 is stopped, and in step S30, it is determined whether or not the form of the relief 22 has changed. When the form of the relief 22 is changed, in step S31, the stored identification information of the transformation ring 40A is cleared, and the process returns to step S2 (see FIG. 8). On the other hand, if the shape of the relief 22 has not changed, it is determined again whether the shape of the relief 22 has changed.
