Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic device with a game function, and more particularly to an electronic device with a dice game function.

In recent years, with the popularity of game watches and the like, recent watch products have tended to not only have a clock function, but also have various additional functions added to them.

The present invention is based on the above background.1. The aim was to create a game experience with a new game function that had not been seen before, namely the dice display.

The embodiments of the device of the present invention are listed below.

(1) A machine with a game function that determines points based on the stopped state of the dice.

(11) By combining the above device with a clock function, the dice are displayed even when the time is displayed without using a dice game, and the eyes are randomly switched at a fixed period. In this case, the time setting key and dice-related keys are also used.

(11D Add a voice synthesis output function to the above dice game.

Hereinafter, as a specific example, a case will be described in which the above-mentioned dice function is incorporated into a voice clock.

FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of the device, and when the KT key is pressed, the current time is displayed and audio is output. Usually the current time is displayed. Pressing the KS key starts a dice rolling game.

KT is the time notification (display) key, KS is the dice key, M
S is a time setting mode changeover switch, H and M are time setting keys, S is a speaker for audio output, and DIS is a liquid crystal display section.

(Usage mode) (+> Clock mode When not using the normal game, the three dice on the display section randomly display numbers 1 to 6 at 1-second intervals as shown in Figure 2, and are used only to display the time. Compared to the case where the dice are displayed, the dynamic display of the dice creates more visual enjoyment.

The above display is probably more suitable for children than adults due to the nature of the display being dice. .When the number on the dice display changes, the machine is controlled so that the number on the back does not appear suddenly, just like when a real die is rolled.

(This control is the same even during the rotation of the dice game.) By taking this kind of consideration, it is possible to create an atmosphere that is closer to the real dice movement.

(10 dice operation mode Next, we will explain how to move the dice.

The time display disappears and a high-speed rotation display appears as shown in FIG.

Then, after a few seconds have passed, it will automatically stop one after the other starting from the left end, and the number of rolled eyes will be announced by voice. For example, in Figure 3 (b), it is "ichi", (/ is "san", (→ is "go", etc.).

Thereafter, a score is calculated using the eyes in the stopped state, and this score is displayed on the clock display section and an audio notification is made. [For example, 餠）like (“kyute/°°)” in the score display
1. The board indicates the number of times the dice key is pressed, and for example, the score for each time is accumulated and displayed automatically after the above display, and the gameplay can be doubled by competing for the accumulated score. There are various ideas for the relationship between the number of the stopped dice and the score, but for example, if it is for children, it can be connected to arithmetic, and only when all 3 numbers are matched by simply adding up the 13 numbers, it is possible to make a ponanu. Possible points include 100 points or 50 points.As for how to process the cumulative points, for example, if you press the dice key 10 times, it automatically clears the dice along with the number of times, or it stores it until you press a certain key. There is.

In the latter case, it is conceivable to use the H and M keys for setting the time and use one as a cumulative score display key and the other as a cumulative score clear key.

By combining a clock and a dice game, this electronic device can double the visual enjoyment by randomly displaying the numbers of the dice even when not playing the game, and can also display the time notification of the audio clock and the number of days on the dice. Announcement audio data can be shared. By using the addition method to calculate dice scores, children can practice mental arithmetic. Furthermore, keys related to dice and keys related to time setting can be shared.

FIG. 4 is a system block diagram of an embodiment of an electronic device with a game function according to the present invention.

There are 3, each with LCD8. KEY part 2° slide S
Kaibu 5. It is connected to the audio controller 4.

In addition, the CG circuit 114°DI is used as a power supply and clock circuit.
VIDER115 is built-in.

Details of the ROM section The ROM section 101 has a built-in program for executing the above invention, and an instruction decoder 10.
2 to execute various commands.

5T103 is a subroutine necessary when executing a program.
In the stack, PCI04 is a counter for program addresses.

evening FIG. 4 shows details of a portion of the memory.

It has six registers, X, Y, Z, T, D, and V, for storing data, temporary storage during calculations, and flags. The addresses of each of the four registers are file designation in 8M register 107 and BL register 10.
Specify the digit with 6. Also, FIG. 5 shows the layout of the RAM, where TlOH~T1S is the area for counting the current time, DC1° DC2, DC3 are the current dice 1, 2.
．． This is an area indicating the number of 3's.

D is a display register, DIOH"-Dis is an area corresponding to the time or score display section, and Dd, to Dd3 are areas for displaying the numbers of the dice. ■ is an audio output register, VIOH to ■ 15 is an area for audio output of the time or the number of the icons. Y7Y6Y5 is an area for storing scores, Z and Z3 are areas for counting the number of times.
L is a counter indicating the changing state of the three dice.

FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8 are flowcharts showing the operating procedure.

Under normal conditions, as shown in Figure 6, if a 1 second signal is generated, T
Counts up the current time area in the register by 1 second. Furthermore, the contents of DCI are transferred to DC2 and the contents of DC2 are transferred to DC3, and new random numbers from I to d are input to DCI. Thereafter, the contents of the T register are transferred to the D register, and the contents of the D register are decoded and displayed. That is, the display of the current time and the display of each day on the three dice are changed every second.

Now, when the KS key is pressed, the control is performed as shown in FIG.

In other words, first preset the counter FL and then
: Starts outputting a synthesized sound that simulates the sound of rolling icons.

If FL=3, a random number from 1 to 6 is generated and inputted to DCI, DC2° and DC3, which memorize the number of each die, and is decoded and displayed. The dice sound is generated for several seconds, and while the dice sound is being generated, random numbers are sequentially generated and the DCI is activated.

It is input to DC2 and DC3. In other words, the numbers on the dice change one after another while the dice sound is being generated. When the dice sound stops, processing is performed to output a synthesized voice indicating the number of the first dice, and the counter FL counts down.

After that, the dice sound output starts again, but at this time F
Since L=2, the DC corresponding to the second and third dice
2. Only DC3 changes depending on random numbers. Then, when the dice sound stops, a process for audio outputting the number of the second dice is performed.

In this way, the movements of the first, second, and third dice are sequentially stopped, and the numbers of the dice are outputted audibly.

Once all dice have been rolled, transfer each day's number to the X register. (DCI, 2,8→X2X1X,).

1 for Y7Y6Y5, which indicates a score if each three days match.
．． Add 00. If the numbers of each three pieces do not match, three pieces of gold shapes (X2+X1+Xo) are added to the score.

Next, count up the number of times Z4 Z3 and transfer the score to the display register (Y7Y6 Y5 → DIM
DIOM DIM).

If it is the 10th time, clear the score Y7Y6Y5. Next, the number of times the dice are rolled is transferred to the display register, and the number of dice rolled is also transferred to the display register, which are decoded and displayed.

Furthermore, the score is output as a synthesized sound.

When the KT key is pressed, the control is as follows.

That is, the score Y7 Ya Ys and the number Z4 Z3 are cleared, and the contents of the T register are transferred to the D register and the V register. Then, the contents are displayed and output as audio.

However, in this case, the audio output is only the time, and the number of days on the dice is not output.

FIG. 9 shows the above-mentioned random number generation method. In other words, first, a random number from O to 999 is generated by calculation, and by subtracting 166 from this value, it is calculated from O to 999.
Divide the value of 99 into 6 to obtain random numbers from 1 to 6 for DC. However, in this case, if the random numbers from 0 to 999 are uniform random numbers, the probability of occurrence of the random number 6 is lower than that of the random numbers 1 to 5.

Note that R1 is the number of the dice that occurred last time, but if the number of the newly generated dice is heads and tails, a random number is generated again.

This is to perform processing according to the actual movement of the dice.

Note that R and R1 are not shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize an electronic device with a dice game function, and it is suitable for use in various devices such as a voice calculator with a game.
