JPH0718794U - Automatic follow-up toys - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A toy that automatically follows a device with a transmitter attached so that it always stays within a certain range. [Structure] The transmitter and the receiver are configured wirelessly, and the receiving side further incorporates a microcomputer for performing control for following, and the wheels for determining the direction and the wheels for moving the toy are always within a certain range. It is an automatic follow-up toy designed to follow.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention consists of a transmitter and a receiver.If the transmitter follows a specific radio wave from a transmitter attached to a person, it always determines the direction and distance, and if the distance is within a certain range. If it is stopped, and if it is out of the range, it will be used as a toy that enables movement control and tracking while automatically determining the direction so that it will be within the range.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, toys that operate wirelessly are only toys that are operated by a device on the transmitting side and receive them to operate. This is based on a so-called radio control operation method, in which the receiving side only directs the operation for the operated button, and automatically recognizes the transmitted object like the present invention and operates toward it. Yes, it does not exist as a so-called automatic tracking type toy.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described in the prior art, there are many types of things that operate by radio control operation, but automatically recognize what you want to follow automatically and control it so that you always keep a certain distance toward itself. Since there is nothing to do, the present invention makes it possible to automatically recognize and move the object that is always transmitted by incorporating the microcomputer necessary for the follower control on the side to follow. As a result, it will be used as an automatic follow-up toy as one of the toys for infants.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, a transmitting device attached to an infant emits a radio wave that can be recognized as a specific code, and the radio wave is received through an antenna on the receiving side, which should be followed by using a micro computer. Is automatically recognized. By receiving the output radio wave from the transmitter attached to the infant, the receiving side can always judge whether or not it is within a certain distance and the transmitting direction, and as a result, there is a distance from the transmitter. If it is within a certain range, the wheels for moving are controlled to stop. If the distance from the transmitter is out of the range, the direction wheel is controlled so as to move in the corresponding direction, and the motor for moving is controlled so as to move toward the object to be followed. A program that repeats such control should be incorporated as a program so that it can be executed by the microcomputer unit installed inside the automatic tracking toy.

[Program contents]

 The device on the transmitting side need only be able to output a radio wave corresponding to a specific code. Next, the contents of the program in the automatic tracking toy for attaching to the receiving side will be described. First, as a measure for preventing malfunctions, always let the user judge whether or not the received code is the one set by himself. Then, if it is your own, measure the distance between the transmitters and let them judge whether it is within a certain range. If the result is out of the range, the moving wheel is controlled in the direction of the transmitting device and the follower toy is operated while rotating the motor for driving the moving wheel. Regarding the operation method for tracking at this time, if the speed can be varied, the accuracy of tracking itself can be further improved.One of the methods is high speed and medium speed due to the difference between the transmitters. A toy will be satisfactory if it can be adjusted to change the speed between low, high, and low. If it is out of the range as described above, the transmission direction and the follow-up control are determined so as to always approach the transmission device. If the distance between the transmitters is within the range, it is enough to stop at that place. The contents described above are incorporated as a program on the side of the automatic follow-up toy to be operated, and an automatic follow-up toy is constructed by the configuration of the transmitter side and the receiver side. For example, if this follow-up method is applied, it can be applied to the movement of a dust collector for a vacuum cleaner used in general households, and can be widely used in this way.
