JPH0337083A - Trump game machine - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enjoy a game against a computer as an interest similar to a game against a human being by inputting and judging the numeral and pattern of a trump put by a person as an image signal through a camera device. CONSTITUTION:When a trump is put on a trump mount port 24, a CCD camera 22 reads its image, and a computer judges the pattern and numeral. When a start button is pushed, a speaker generates a sound 'Put two or three cards in a frame'. A person playing a game puts two trumps upside up and has the right to select one more trump depending on whether the total number is near 21 or not. When two or three trumps are put and a game button 26 is pushed, a trump image selected by the computer at random by the random number processing is displayed on the screen of a CRT 21, and the game result is displayed. When the person wins, a prize is delivered on a prize device 27. When the game is completed, an air cylinder 31 is operated to tilt a trump support plate 30, and trumps 29 are discharged to a recovery port 28.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention involves photographing two or three playing cards randomly handed out by a person using a camera device, and then using the camera! In blackjack, the game is decided by analyzing the image signal from the device and reading the dowels, and then determining which of the cards on the screen is closer to 21 than the sum of the playing cards on the screen, which is randomly generated by a computer through random number processing. Concerning a card game machine that applies rules.

[Prior art and its problems] Various games using computers have been developed in the past, but most of them are played by displaying an image on a display-L and playing the game while looking at the image. In particular, games such as blackjack, where the game is played only by the number of k-metals (1), have the problem that it is not interesting to play only by pressing a button on a machine.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a card game machine that makes the game more enjoyable by actually playing the game by arranging real playing cards on the table. shall be.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A trumbugeno machine according to the present invention in accordance with the above object includes a stand on which playing cards can be placed, a light source that irradiates the playing cards with light when placed by a person, and a camera device that takes pictures of the playing cards. a display for projecting a playing card image randomly selected by a computer; a control means for analyzing the image signal from the camera device to determine the symbols and numbers, and determining the match between the two computer images; The game machine is comprised of a sound generating means that emits a predetermined sound in response to the game, and eight positions for ejecting and collecting playing cards after the game is over.

[Function] The card game machine according to the present invention is configured such that a person inputs the numbers and symbols of the playing cards held out through a camera device as a picture number 11M and makes a judgment.

Therefore, the person playing Goo 11 can feel the tension of actually flipping over a deck of cards, rather than just pressing a button on a machine, making the game a game that allows players to experience the game as more fun and similar to competing with a computer.

``Example'' Next, an example that embodies the present invention will be described with reference to the attached description to provide an understanding of the present invention.

Here, FIG. 1 is an overall view of the card game machine main body according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the same, FIG. 3 is a playing card arrangement diagram for explaining the position confirmation of playing cards, and FIG. The figure is a flow diagram of a card game machine, and the second figure is a mesh division diagram for number recognition.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the card game 4f120 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a CRT 21 that displays the playing card image of a viewer, and a CCO camera that is an example of a camera device that captures the playing cards that a person holds out. 22, a support post 23 that supports the camera, a playing card mounting slot 24, a totsubu support plate 30, an air cylinder 31 that moves the playing card support plate, and a playing card floor plan "12B."
The prize device 27 is configured to include a prize device 27. These will be explained in detail below.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the above-mentioned card game machine, cards are placed one by one in the playing card slot 24, the CCD camera 22 reads the images, and an internal computer (not shown) determines the design and number of playing cards. It is supposed to be done.

The game procedure is to press the start button 2fi,
A voice valve-type device is on duty and emits a voice from a speaker saying, ``Please place two or three cards in the frame.''

The person playing the game first places two cards face up, and depending on whether the total number is close to 21, he or she is given the right to choose another card. When you place 2 or 3 playing cards in this way and press the game button 26, CR
A playing card image randomly generated by a computer through random number processing appears on the screen of T21, and the game result is also displayed at the same time.If 0 people win, a prize is paid out to the prize fIM device 7. When the game ends, the air cylinder 31 is activated and the playing card support plate 30 is tilted, so that the playing cards 29
The cards are discharged toward the playing card collection port 28 through a chute (not shown).

Subsequently, since the reading operation of the card game machine proceeds according to a computer program, the reading operation shown in FIGS.
The operation will be explained with reference to the drawings.

First, after placing the playing cards, press the game button, and one playing card from the left in Figure 3 is scanned in the Y direction from a predetermined starting point through image processing, and the
Find the coordinates. At this time, if the Y coordinate cannot be found,
In other words, if no playing cards are placed, the player will not move forward and the game will not be decided, and the player will be asked to confirm the presence and number of cards on the VN and press the game button.

Sound is emitted from I and the speaker. Once the Y coordinate is determined, scan in the X direction from the starting point, and
Find the coordinates. If there is a difference in the X coordinates of this samurai, ■ and ■,
If there is an inclination, the game will not be determined, just like when the Y coordinate cannot be determined by illumination. 0 position detection proceeds with [phase] and ■ to find the coordinates of the top and left ends.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 4, when the first page is completed, the process proceeds to the second page, and the same confirmation operation is performed.

When the second sheet is finished, the process advances to the third sheet, but since the third sheet may or may not be present, if there is no third sheet, it is determined that there is no error and that the second sheet is the end and the process proceeds.

In this way, as soon as the recognition of two or three playing cards is completed, the computer itself uses random number processing to project a playing card image onto the first side of the CRT i, and calculates the total number of playing cards recognized previously and CR'. The winner is determined by comparing the combination of the number of playing cards shown on r.

Regarding number recognition, as shown in Figure 5,
, each is divided in the Y direction by a mesh, and the number part is 1
, and other parts are stored as O in the recognized character array. The specific recognition method is the following EI 3 formula, 8, 2, 3,
4.5.6,7°Fl, 9,10. A similarity index is calculated for J and Q, and it is determined which character sample they belong to.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the explanation below, the card game machine according to the present invention plays the game while actually flipping over real cards, making the game against the player more interesting. I can do it.
