[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handy electronic board which is very easy to operate and can be designated by touching the intersection of vertical and horizontal rules displayed on a liquid crystal panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a portable electronic board using a liquid crystal panel has been known. To briefly explain its structure and usage, 19 push buttons for designating vertical and horizontal rules are provided on the right and bottom sides of the board printed on the liquid crystal panel, and when placing a stone on a board surface, ,
By pressing the two push buttons corresponding to the vertical ruled line and horizontal ruled line at that position and designating the intersection,
A black circle or a white circle is displayed at that position.

However, such a portable device is originally small in size, and the push buttons for designating vertical and horizontal rules are far from the starting position, so that it is difficult to find a corresponding push button, and the operation for designating the starting position is difficult. It has a drawback that it is very difficult to do, and since the vertical and horizontal rules are printed directly on the glass surface of the liquid crystal panel, it can only be used as a 19-road board, and when Shiraishi (white circle) is displayed There was a drawback that it was difficult to see because the vertical and horizontal rules could not be erased.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of this invention is to specify a move by simply touching the intersection of the vertical and horizontal rules of the board displayed on the liquid crystal panel, and the operation is extremely easy. It is an object to provide a handy electronic go board capable of selectively displaying a road board and a large-screen 10 road board.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a handy electronic board of the present invention is a 19-way board and the
In addition to selectively displaying on a liquid crystal panel, a 9-road board and a 10-road board, which is composed only of vertical and horizontal odd-numbered rules,
By touching the intersection of the vertical and horizontal rules of the roadbed or the 10-roadbed, a black circle or a white circle is displayed at the intersection. Further, when white circles are displayed, vertical and horizontal rules are not displayed in the white circles. In addition, a memory function for storing an arbitrary aspect is provided, and the aspect is reproduced as necessary.

[0006]

Operation: When using, select a 19-road board or a 10-road board according to the purpose, and directly touch the intersection of the vertical and horizontal rules of the board displayed on the liquid crystal panel to specify the move, and the black and white circles will appear. Displayed alternately. It is also possible to continuously display only black circles or white circles if necessary to display a specific aspect such as Tsume-go. In addition, by storing the displayed phase, it is possible to return to the stored phase any number of times and start over.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are front views showing a state in which a 19-roadbed and a 10-roadbed are displayed, respectively. On the liquid crystal panel 1, segments for displaying vertical and horizontal rules of 19 paths are arranged, and segments for displaying black circles and white circles are arranged around each intersection of the rules.
All the segments are display-controlled by a built-in electronic circuit (not shown). Around the liquid crystal panel 1, various mode setting switches and function switches connected to the electronic circuit are provided so as to execute various operations described later.

On the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 1, a well-known direct input device (not shown) composed of a switching element for detecting a change in electrostatic capacitance is laminated at the position of each intersection of vertical and horizontal rules. . All of the direct input devices are connected to the electronic circuit, and when a desired intersection is touched with a finger (or a pencil or the like), a black circle or a white circle is displayed at the intersection. When a white circle is displayed, the vertical ruled lines and the horizontal ruled lines inside the white circle are erased so that they are not displayed.

When the power switch 2 is turned on, the game mode is automatically set without pressing the game mode setting switch 3, and every time an intersection of a ruled line is touched, a black circle and a white circle are alternately displayed. If you touch the same intersection twice in succession, the displayed circle will disappear, and you can correct the starting point if you make a mistake. The stones that have been washed up automatically disappear, and the cumulative total of swallowtails is displayed separately in black and white in the swallowtail display columns 4 and 5 above and below the liquid crystal panel 1.

At the end of the game, the decision switch 6 is pushed to display the win and loss and the number of the scores in the decision display field 7. Needless to say, the terminal may be terminated without using the determination switch 6. In that case, the cancel switch 8
By manipulating, it is possible to erase all starts, swallowtail indication, judgment indication, etc. from the board and each display field.

A 19/10 roadbed select switch 9 is provided so that 19 roadbed and 10 roadbed can be switched and displayed. As shown in FIG. 2, the 10-road board is displayed using only the odd-numbered ruled lines in the vertical and horizontal directions of the 19-road board, and has a large screen that is easy to see, so it is ideal for studying Tsumego and Joseki.

Black stone switch 10 or white stone switch 11
By operating, it is possible to display only black circles or white circles in succession, which is convenient when placing a stabbing stone and when displaying a specific aspect such as examination after the station or Tsumego. By pressing the game mode setting switch 3, it is possible to return to the alternate start again. When the switch is pressed once, the start is displayed from black, and when the switch is pressed twice, the start is displayed from white.

The above electronic circuit has a memory function of storing a situation, and by operating the memory switch 12, the situation at that time can be stored and the situation stored later by operating the call switch 13 can be reproduced. This memory function is adapted to store a plurality of (eg 50) aspects.

Further, by connecting an image input device to the electronic circuit, the phase can be directly read from a game record or the like and can be displayed on the liquid crystal panel 1 or stored in a memory circuit.

The size of the handy electronic board of the above embodiment is about 20 cm long × 15 cm wide for portable use, but it can be made larger than this. The power supply has a built-in battery, but it can also be taken from commercial power using an adapter.

Although the segment type liquid crystal display is used as the liquid crystal panel in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and a matrix type liquid crystal display may be used. Further, the direct input device provided on the back surface of the liquid crystal panel is not limited to the above,
Other known ones (for example, using an electrode rod or a light pen) may be used.

[0017]

As described above, the handy electronic board of the present invention can switch and display the 19-road board and the large-screen 10-road board by a simple operation, so that it is not necessary to use all stations. You can study basic Tsumego and joseki on a large 10-way board that is easy to see on the screen and easy to enter. Simply touch the intersection of the vertical and horizontal rules of the board displayed on the LCD panel. It is extremely easy to input data because you can specify the move, and the vertical and horizontal lines are not displayed when the white circles are displayed, so the board surface is neat and easy to see. With the memory function to store the phase, the phase that has been stored can be reproduced as needed, which is convenient for studying Go and studying Tsumego. It is intended.
