The output of the memory 21 is a numerical value written inside each circle indicating a go stone described in the score, and a numerical value (hereinafter referred to as a procedure numerical value) indicating the order in which the go stone is struck is output. It is sent to the numerical value detecting unit 23 that reads and detects the position of the go stone on the board (data indicating this position is referred to as go stone position data below).

The output of the board contour detecting section 22 is a numerical value detecting section.
The output of the numerical value detection unit 23 is given to the total score data storage unit 13, and the total score data storage unit 13 is
The procedure numerical value sent from the numerical value detection unit 23 and the go position data are stored therein as a pair of data for each go.

The output of the total score data storage unit 13 is sent to a launch detection unit 24, a coin detection unit 25, and a display data creation unit 26. In addition, a board memory 29 is bidirectionally connected to both the launch detection section 24 and the ko detection section 25, and this board memory 29 has a storage format corresponding to the board, It is a memory that stores the layout.

Further, when the launch detecting unit 24 strikes the go stone corresponding to the procedure numerical value read from the total score data storage unit 13 from the arrangement of the go stones stored in the go board memory 29 to the position corresponding to the go stone position data, As a result, it is a block that determines whether or not there is a rock launch, and if there is a launch, detects the stone that is the target of the launch.

When the launch detecting unit 24 indicates that the first go stone has been launched, the coin detecting unit 25 detects the go board memory 29.
By referring to the placement of the Go stones, it is a block that determines whether or not the launch forms a ko.

Further, the display data creating section 26 displays the go stone while referring to the outputs of the launch detecting section 24 and the ko detecting section 25 based on the procedure numerical values and the go stone position data stored in the total score data storing section 13. It is a block to create data for.

The display data storage unit 27 is a display data creation unit.
It is a block for storing the data created by 26, and the stored data is guided to the display device via the display control unit 28 and is displayed there.

The output of the keyboard 30 for inputting the instructions necessary for reading the total score and displaying the total score is sent to the display data creating section 26 and the display control section 28. Then, the output of the display control unit 28 is guided to the display device 15 on which the board is displayed.

In the above configuration, the procedure detection unit 12 for detecting the procedure numerical value and the go position data is composed of the cross board contour detection unit 22 and the numerical value detection unit 23, and the procedure display control unit 14 is It comprises six blocks of a launch detection section 24, a ko detection section 25, a display data creation section 26, a display data storage section 27, a display control section 28, and a board surface memory 29.

The display data storage unit 27 is a keyboard 30.
Data is added to the total score data storage unit 13 based on the data input from the, and the data input from the keyboard 30 at this time is the data of the newly hit stone at the place where the stone was launched. It is data showing information
(However, there is no need to input for the exchange of Ko).

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing details, FIG. 5 is an auxiliary diagram for explaining the launch of a stone, FIG. 6 is an auxiliary diagram for explaining detection of a ko, and FIG.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a data format stored in the display data storage unit 27.

Referring to these drawings as necessary,
The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

When the figure reading device 11 is moved along the surface of the score, the figure reading device 11 reads the score and stores the read image data in the memory 21.

When the above operation is completed, the board contour detection unit 22
Reads the stored contents of the memory 21 and, for the contour 321 of the board of the score 31, starts extracting the contour downward so that the vicinity of its left end is the target position (the direction is indicated by an arrow 331). ) Then, when the first contour is extracted, the contour extraction is continued along the direction of the arrow 332.

In extracting the contour along the arrow 332, the semicircle and the first line on the upper part of the go stones 351 to 355 shown in FIG.
A contour in which (contour 321) is mixed is extracted. However, in Go, the number of go stones hit on the first line (contour 321) is small, so there are many straight lines extracted in the contour extraction, and it is easy to distinguish between a semicircle and a straight line. Therefore, the board contour detection unit 22 extracts only the contour obtained by removing the semicircle from the extracted contour, and calculates the straight line indicating the first line (contour 321) based on the extracted contour.

Similarly, for the contour 323 of the board, the contour extraction is started along the arrow 385, and when the contour is extracted, the contour extraction is continued along the arrow 336 to continue the first line ( A straight line showing the contour 323) is calculated.
Thereafter, the straight lines showing the other contours 322 and 324 are calculated by the same method.

Each value indicating these four straight lines is a numerical value detecting section.
Since it is sent to 23, the numerical value detection unit 23 calculates the position of each corner portion (intersection point of straight lines showing the contours 321 to 324) of the score 31 based on these numerical values, and based on the calculation result. Calculate the center position of each grid on the Go board (total score 31).
Then, the operation of the numerical value detection is started based on the calculated central position.

The total score 31 that is generally published in newspapers is several cm.
Many (200 or more) on the board shown as small-angled figures
The Go stone is always printed, and the number indicating the Go stone procedure is printed with a very small print. Therefore, it is easily affected by a reading error that occurs in the figure reading device 11.

Further, when printing on newspaper, the printing condition is not so good, and there is ink bleeding or stains. Therefore, the numerical value detecting section 23 removes these influences. The indicated circle is detected, and the procedure numerical value is detected by using the circle as the detection area.

As a method therefor, the numerical value detecting section 23 calculates in advance the central position (indicated by 41 in FIG. 4) which is the position indicating the center of the grid in the score 31, and the diameter of the circle 46 is the grid of the grid. Since it is printed equal to the length of one side, the shortest distance from the center position 41 to the circle 46 (when starting the contour extraction from the center position 45 of the contour along the straight line 43 in the direction of 45 degrees, The distance between the position where the dot 423 is detected and the central position 41) is calculated (this value indicates the theoretical value when there is no reading error).

Next, the numerical value detector 23 starts the extraction of the contour along the straight line 43 from the central position 41. When the dot 423 forming the contour is detected, the center position 41 and the dot 423 are detected.
It is checked whether the distance between and is within a preset error range with respect to the theoretical value.

When the detected distance is within the error range, it is determined that the dot 423 is a dot forming the circle 46 and is not a dot due to the influence of dirt or the like, and the position of the dot 423 is stored inside. Similarly, for the dot 424, it is determined whether the detected distance is within the error range with respect to the theoretical value calculated in advance, and if it is within the error range, the position is stored inside.

In the above operation, the extracted dots
If the position of (423 or 424) exceeds the error range, the dots exceeding the error range are discarded. Therefore, the positions of 2 dots, 1 dot, or 0 dots are detected according to the printing state.

Then, by repeating the same operation as above along each of the straight lines 42 and 44 parallel to the straight line 43, a maximum of six dots 421 to 424, ... Is extracted. Then, the center 45 of the circle 46 is calculated from the extracted dots.

When the above operation is completed, the reading area of the numerical value (the number "38" indicated by 48 for the go stone 47 for the go stone 47) indicating the procedure in which the go stone is hit is determined.
The numerical value detection unit 23 indicates the procedure in which a go stone was hit by analyzing the data indicating the determined reading area (the data read by the graphic reading device 11 and stored in the total score data storage unit 13). Read the numbers.

The number read by the above method is the position in the total score 31 of the Goishi position data (Goishi (indicated by 46)) as a procedure numerical value, and is a Goishi on the board.
The data is sent to the score data storage unit 13 as a pair with (data indicating the hit position of 46) and stored.

By repeating the above operation for each of the Go stones recorded in the score 31, the score data storage unit 13 stores the procedure numerical values and the go position data of all the stones of the score 31. Will be.

However, in the game of Go, I missed
Or, because the Go stone was struck again at the place where the stone was launched due to the competition for the ko, it is difficult to show these procedures in total score 31, so these procedures are written in the margin with letters. Will be done.

Of the procedures described in these margins, the procedures except for the exchange of ko are entered using the keyboard 30 (the numerical value indicating the procedure and its position are entered).
Therefore, the input procedure is guided to the total score data storage section 13 via the display data creation section 26, and is stored therein as data that supplements the procedure detected by the numerical value detection section 23.

As described above, the required data is stored in the total score data storage unit 13. Next, the total score data storage section
Creation of display data based on the data stored in 13 will be described.

From the total score data storage unit 13, the go stone position data corresponding to the procedure numerical value 1 is displayed in the launch detecting unit 24, the ko detecting unit 25, and the display data creating unit 26 in order to indicate the first Go stone to be hit. Sent out.

The launch detector 24, to which this go position data is given, stores the black stone at a position corresponding to the go position data of the go formed in the go memory 29. Further, the display data creation unit 26 sends out and stores the numerical value "1" and the data indicating the position of the first hand Kuroishi on the board (indicated by 81 and 82 in FIG. 7) to the display data storage unit 27.

Thereafter, since the go stone position data corresponding to the procedure numerical value whose value is "2" is transmitted from the total score data storage unit 13, the procedure numerical value of 2 is stored in the board of the board memory 29.
The white stone is stored at the position indicated by the Go stone position data corresponding to. Further, the display data creation unit 26 stores the numerical value “2” and the position of the go stone on the board in the display data storage unit 27 (8
3, 84).

Thereafter, the transmission of the go stone position data from the total score data storage unit 13 is repeated, and the arrangement of the go stones is stored in the go board of the go board memory 29 in response to the sending.

Now, from the total score data storage unit 13, the procedure numerical value
It is assumed that the go position data corresponding to 120 has been sent and the operation before that has been completed.

Further, at this time, it is assumed that the layout of the go stones other than the white stone indicated by 51 in FIG. 5 is already stored in the go board of the go board memory 29, and the procedure numerical value "120" is corresponded from the total score data storage unit 13. It is assumed that the position indicated by the go stone position data sent out is the position of the go stone indicated by 51.

Upon receiving the go position data indicating the white stones 51, the launch detection unit 24, on the go board of the go board memory 29,
The white stone 51 is stored at the position indicated by the go stone position data, and it is checked whether a black stone is already stored adjacent to the white stone 51 in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.

When Kuroishi 51 is stored,
From the arrangement of the go stones stored in the go memory 29, it is assumed that the black stone 51 may be launched by the white stone 51.
A search is performed for Go stones (white stones in this case) that have the same color and that are aligned vertically, horizontally, or diagonally with 51 as the base point.
(However, if the Go stone whose position is indicated by the Go stone position data is not adjacent to the black stone in the vertical or horizontal direction like Shiraishi 56, there is no possibility of launch,
The search described below is not performed).

In the search method, first, the presence or absence of go stones of the same color that are continuous in the right direction is checked. At this time, since the white stone cannot be found, the direction to be examined is rotated counterclockwise by 45 degrees and the diagonally upper right direction of the white stone 51 is examined. Since it is not found even at this time, rotate the direction again by 45 degrees and check the upward direction.

At this time, since Shiraishi 52 is found,
Next, with Shiraishi 52 as the base point, similar to the above operation,
First, it is checked whether or not there is a black stone adjacent in the vertical or horizontal direction. If there is no adjacent black stone, it is determined that there is no possibility of a launch, and the search operation is immediately terminated. However, at this time, the adjacent Kuroishi 59 is found.

When the black stone 59 is found, first, the adjacency relation between the black stone 59 and the black stone 58 is checked. And if the adjacent relationship is a relationship that is continuous in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, the black stone 59 may also be launched, so with the white stone 52 as the base point, in the same manner as above, the right horizontal direction, the right diagonal upward direction. , Sequentially check for the presence of white stones in the upward direction (however, if the black stone that is adjacent to the white stone 52 in the vertical or horizontal direction is not adjacent to the black stone 58 in the vertical or horizontal direction, the black stone is not targeted for launch Therefore, the search based on Shiraishi 52 will not be performed).

Returning the explanation to the search for a go stone of the same color with the white stone 52 as the starting point, the white stone 53 is found when the diagonally upper left direction is examined.

Next, a search for an adjacent black stone is started with the white stone 53 as a base point, and a black stone 59 vertically adjacent to the white stone 53 is detected. Since this black stone 59 has already been detected as a black stone that may be launched by a search using the white stone 52 as the base point, next, the white stone 53 is used as the base point and the white stone 53
The search for Go stones of the same color in sequence starts.

In this search, since the white stone 54 is first found, the black stone adjacent to the white stone 54 is searched for the black stone adjacent to the white stone 54.
62, and this black stone 62 is not adjacent to the black stone 58 or the black stone 59 in the vertical or horizontal direction.
Is not a target for launch.

Therefore, since the white stone 54 is not the white stone involved in the launch, the search base point returns to the white stone 53, and the direction of the white stone search is reversed.

In this search, Shiroishi 55 will be found. Then, the search for the black stone adjacent to the white stone 55 is started with the white stone 55 as the base point. Since the black stone 61 is detected in this search, the positional relationship between the black stone 61 and the black stones 58 and 59 that have already been detected as being likely to be launched is next examined.

Then, it is detected that the black stone 61 is laterally adjacent to the black stone 58 or the black stone 59, and it is determined that the black stone 61 is a stone that may be launched. A search for an adjacent white stone is started with the white stone 55 as a base point.

By repeating the same operation thereafter, when the white stone 51 is found as a result of the search, the black stone 51 is found.
58, 59 and 61 are determined to be rocks to be launched. Further, the black stones 58, 59, 61 are determined to be the stones whose display needs to be canceled because they are launched.

Therefore, the launch detection unit 24 sends the data indicating the respective positions of the black stones 58, 59, 61 to the display data creation unit 26 as the display cancellation target. The transmitted data is stored in the "erasure target" column of the data storage unit 27 (indicated by 85). In addition, the launch detection unit 24 erases the black stones 58, 59, 61 from the board of the board memory 29.

In the above description, the operation for detecting the launch is described for the first time with Shiraishi 51, but this detecting operation is performed every time the go position data is sent from the total score data storage unit 13. . In addition, the launch detection unit 24 gives an instruction to start operation to the ko detection unit 25 when the number of stones to be launched is one.

The operation when the number of rocks launched is one will be described below.

Now, it is assumed that the stones on the board of the board memory 29 corresponding to the procedure numerical value "150" are arranged except for the black stones 73 in FIG. Then, it is assumed that the position of the black stone indicated by the go stone position data corresponding to the procedure numerical value “151” is the position indicated by 73.

At this time, since the launch operation of the launch detection unit 24 detects the launch of the white stone 71, the display data creation unit 26 causes the display data storage unit 27 to "delete".
The data indicating the position of the white stone 71 is stored in the column (indicated by 86). In addition, the launch detection unit 24 sets the Shiraishi 71 to the board memory 29.
In addition to erasing from the board, the erasing information and the operation start instruction are given to the ko detector 25.

Therefore, the ko detecting unit 25 checks the white stones adjacent to the black stone 73 in the vertical and horizontal directions. However, in this operation, the ko detecting unit 25 performs the detecting operation on the assumption that the shiraishi 71 is on the board based on the erasing information given from the launch detecting unit 24.

Therefore, a total of four white stones 71 to 74 are found above and below the black stone 73 in the vertical direction and on the left and right in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the ko detection unit 25 determines that the white stone 71 is located as if the black stone 73 is the ko remover. Display data and information on the occurrence of ko
Inform 26.

As a result, the display data creation unit 26 stores the data indicating the position of the white stone 71 in the column of "Kou" of the display data storage unit 27 (indicated by 87). Also, the ko detector 25
Stores the number of occurrences of each time a ko occurs.

By the above operation, the display data storage unit 27 sequentially stores the data indicating the position of the stone corresponding to the procedure in which the go stone was struck. , Only the data read from the score 31 and the data input from the keyboard 30 (data indicating a stone that has been struck again at the place where it was launched), the data from the keyboard 30 is the data excluding the ko competition. Therefore, there is a gap in the numerical value in the “Procedure” column. Therefore, the display data creation unit 26 first leaves the column corresponding to the missing number empty.

Next, the display data creating section 26 is operated by the cow detecting section 25.
When the number of occurrences of ko stored in the memory is read and the value is 1, there is only one ko,
The empty columns are sequentially searched from the side with the smallest numerical value in the procedure, and the stone corresponding to the first empty column found is determined to be the return of the ko.

Then, assuming that the stone has been struck in the position "8-7" shown in the column "Kou" 87, the data "8-7" is stored in the corresponding empty "position" column. . And the stone corresponding to the next empty column found is "7 of 7"
The data "7 of 7" is replenished assuming that the stone was hit by. After that, the data in the vacant columns found are sequentially supplemented with "8-7" and "7-7".

However, when two or more ko are generated, it is impossible to determine which one of the stones corresponding to the empty column is the stone for recovering the empty column. Do not replenish.

Since the storage of the data in the display data storage unit 27 is completed by the above operation, the display operation based on the data stored in the display data storage unit 27 will be described next.

The display control unit 28 sequentially reads out the data of the display positions (the same as the display positions shown as the Go stone position data) shown in the "position" column of the display data storage unit 27, thereby displaying the display device 15 Go stones are sequentially displayed on the go board displayed in.

If there is a space in the "position" column of the display data storage unit 27, there are two or more kos, and the position corresponding to this "position" column is empty. Since it is the position that is the turn number of the generated ko, all of the display positions corresponding to that position are lit up and displayed with the color of the corresponding go stone, and select that position with the keyboard 30. Let it be done.

Therefore, the user of this device can select the selected position on the keyboard 30 based on the information attached to the side of the score 31.
Enter using. The display control unit 28 displays the stone at the position indicated by the input data and cancels the display of the stone taken.

Further, according to the data input from the keyboard 30, the display control unit 28 stores the position corresponding to the corresponding empty column of the display data storage unit 27, and the display of the erased stone in the “Erase” column. Remember the position.

Thereafter, by repeating the same operation, while the display according to the total score 31 is being performed, when the input of the data indicating the exchange of the coins attached to the side of the total score 31 is completed, the display data storage unit 27 Replenishment of the data in the vacant fields is completed, and at the time of subsequent display, all procedures will be displayed without newly inputting data.

In the above display, when displaying the go stones one after another, the mode is automatically displayed one after another with a constant display interval, and the next go stone is displayed each time the space key or the like is input from the keyboard 30. It is possible to select one mode from the two modes of the display mode.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the operation of the numerical value detecting unit 23 is as follows (see FIG. 3).
Position (indicated by reference numeral 36) for each contour 321 to 324, calculate each intersection with the detected line, and determine the number reading area based on the calculation result. It is possible.
