JPH06269534A - Shiritori game (cap verses) device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To play a shiritori game (cap verses) with a computer game machine by reading the beginning and end of a word from a speech input, then making sure that the end of the word is not 'n' and then randomly reading a word with a beginning common to the end of the first word, and issuing the second word from a loudspeaker. CONSTITUTION:A speech recognition means 3 converts speech inputted thereto via a microphone 1 into an electric signal and transmits the signal to a controller 4, which in turn takes the beginning and end of a word from the speech transmitted thereto and, after making sure that the end of the word is not 'n' temporarily stores the word. A word with a beginning common to the end of the first word is randomly read from a word storage means 5 and is issued from a loudspeaker 7 via a speech synthesis means 5. When the end of the first word is 'n' and when the next speech is not inputted from the microphone 1 for a predetermined period of time after the second word has been issued from the loudspeaker 7, and when the input speech and the output word are repeated twice in one game, a game finishing signal is sent.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shiritori game machine which is played against a machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional shiritori game is played between humans.

[0003]

In recent years, a variety of new game devices have appeared with the spread of computer game machines, but the present invention is the first with respect to a shiritori game played between humans.

[0004]

The present invention comprises a voice recognition means, a control device, a word storage means, a voice synthesis means, a microphone and a speaker, and the voice recognition means inputs data through the microphone. The converted sound is converted into an electric signal and transmitted to the control device, and the control device,
Extract the beginning and ending from the transmitted voice, temporarily store after confirming that the ending is not "n", randomly read the word of the beginning common to the above ending from the word storage means, the word Via the voice synthesizer. While operating so as to be uttered from the speaker, when the ending of the voice is "n", when the utterance from the speaker exceeds a predetermined time, and from the next microphone after utterance from the speaker When the input is not within the predetermined time, when the beginning of the input voice of the next microphone is different from the ending of the previous output word, and when the input voice and the output word are repeated twice in one game. The present invention provides a shiritori game device, which is a control device configured to emit a game end signal.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the Shiritori game, which has been conventionally performed between humans, can be played alone against a machine, and a computer and a user play a match. And you can enjoy playing words under a new game sensation.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a microphone with a push button switch 8, 2 is noise detection means for detecting whether the sound converted into an electric signal by the microphone 1 is noise or voice, and 3 is voice recognition for recognizing a word from a voice signal. Means 4 is a control device, which takes out the beginning and ending of a word input from the speech recognition means 3, randomly reads out the word corresponding to the ending from the word storage means 5, and through the speech synthesis means 6 the word. ． The speaker 7 is configured to speak.

When the noise detecting means 2 detects the electric signal sent from the microphone 1 as noise, it instructs the user to re-input. The voice recognition means 3 finely analyzes the voice signal and determines the corresponding word from the input voice. The control device 4 extracts the beginning and ending of the word judged by the voice recognition means 3 and, when the beginning is not the previous ending, instructs the user to re-input. Next, after confirming that the ending is not "n", the word is temporarily stored, the word having the above ending at the beginning is read from the word storing means 5, and the word is outputted from the speech synthesizing means 6.

Further, the control device 4 controls the case where the ending of the input voice transmitted from the voice recognition means 3 is "n", the case where the utterance from the speaker exceeds a predetermined time, and the case where after the utterance from the speaker. When the input voice from the next microphone is not within the predetermined time, when the beginning of the input voice of the next microphone is different from the ending of the previous output word, the input voice and the output word are in one game. A game end signal is transmitted when it is repeated twice (see FIG. 2 above).

As in the case of a normal game machine, this device has a set time from the start to the end of the game,
It goes without saying that it is used to repeat voice input and word output within a predetermined time. Further, if the number of stored words is about 10,000, the word storage means 5 used in the present apparatus is RO
When M is used and a large capacity is used, RAM is used alone or in combination, and FD and CD can also be used.
The shiritori game device configured as described above allows one or two or more people to compete in a word game against a machine.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the speech recognition means, the control device, the word storage means, the voice synthesis means, the microphone and the speaker are provided, and the words are written according to the rules of the shiritori game programmed in the control device. You can compete in the game and enjoy new games that are not available on conventional game consoles.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A voice recognition means 3, a control device 4, a word storage means 5, a voice synthesis means 6, a microphone 1 and a speaker 7, and the voice recognition means 3 inputs through the microphone 1. The converted voice is converted into an electric signal and transmitted to the control device 4. The control device 4 extracts the beginning and ending of the transmitted voice, confirms that the ending is not "n", and then temporarily stores it. , The word at the beginning of the word common to the above-mentioned endings is randomly read from the word storage means 5, and the word is passed through the speech synthesis means 6. While the speaker 7 is operated so as to be uttered, the ending of the voice is "n", the utterance from the speaker 7 exceeds a predetermined time, and the next microphone after the utterance from the speaker 7. If the input voice from 1 is not within the predetermined time, and if the next microphone 1
Is configured to issue a game end signal when the beginning of the input voice is different from the ending of the previous output word and when the input voice and the output word are repeated twice in one game. A shiritori game device characterized by being a control device 4.
