DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following, a case where a specific embodiment of the present invention is applied to a calculator with a game function will be described with reference to all the drawings.

<Example> Appearance of 1 Apparatus (FIG. 1)" The figure represents an external view of a calculator with a game function (hereinafter abbreviated as a game calculator). In the figure, 1 indicates the entire main body of the game calculator, and this main body includes a display unit 2 including a figure display area and a numerical display area, and various keys for performing each function of the calculator function and the game function. key unit 3
Equipped with In addition to numerical keys and calculation instruction keys, the key unit is provided with a game mode selection key for starting the game. By selecting mode ■ or ■, the player can enjoy different games. Some of the calculator keys are also used as game keys. For example, in game mode, the number "0" key 30 is used as a left shift key, the decimal point "・" key 3d is used as a right shift key, and the equal "=" key is used as a left shift key. acts as a hammer key, which will be described later.

``Display Section (Figure 2)'' The figure shows an example of the display section of the display unit described in ``2''.

In the figure, 2a is a numerical information display area that includes multiple segments If for displaying all numerical data of multiple digits (7 digits in this case), and this area includes symbols for memory M, minus -, and error E. I can do it. Dimension 2b is 1
This is a figure display area that is provided corresponding to numerical data of each digit of the U code and includes figure display information of multiple digits for displaying figures for the game. Graphic display areas 2bK&-, J: segments for displaying various patterns showing an example of a game are provided. This graphic display pattern consists of five types of segmented turns. In other words, (a) is a segment pattern that represents no/ma, (b) is a pattern when the no 1 nma is hit, and (c) is a pattern that represents the steam generated from a person's head when the no nma is hit. ni) represents a pattern that represents a person's face, and (ho) represents a noku turn that occurs when you hit someone on the head with a no nma.

2c is a segment pattern representing the game mode (■ or II) or the end of the game, and 2d is a no-no turn representing the ranking of the game, which is divided into six stages. 2
e is a segment pattern that represents the number of failures in the game,
If the player fails three times, the game ends and the segment ζ turn 2c lights up, indicating the end of the game.

"Game Description (FIG. 3)" By pressing either the game mode selection key I or [I, the player can play the following game. That is, Game f... is a game in which players compete for points by hitting with an angry Taizen hammer, regardless of the status of the player (the person playing the game) and the status of the displayed face.

The game aims to be the president's post office, and by instantly judging from the display status whether the person (face) displayed one after another is of the same rank as the player, or whether the player is a superior and is angry, he hits them with a no-ma. It is a game of competing for success.

Below, the content of the game will be explained in detail based on the display example shown in FIG. 3 while referring to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, the game is started by pressing the game mode selection key rIJ after operating the "ON/c" key. At this time, a person's face 2b appears on the display section 2 in the second row, and the position of the person is displayed in the numerical display area 2a in the lower row (both are displayed in 7 digits). Positions are indicated by numbers 1 to 6, and the relationships are as follows. In other words, 1...President 3...Director 5...Section manager 2...Executive officer 4...Section manager 6...
When the employee's face (2b-2) shows an angry state,
Steam → is displayed on the head. At the same time as the game starts, the third
As shown in Figure (1), game mode rlJ is displayed,
Furthermore, the highest score is displayed for a predetermined period of time (for example, 2 seconds). When the game starts, as shown in Figure 3 (2), for example, 7 mm (symbol A in Figure 2 2b) is displayed in the 4th digit, then 1 person enters the mine, and then Figure 3 (4) is displayed. 3 people enter the mine like this. A person corresponds to a numerical segment,
Indicates the position where a person's face appears. As shown in FIG. 3 (5), the screen is configured so that when a human face appears, a sound effect is generated. If you hit the entire face that appears with a hammer, and if the face is angry (steam is displayed on the head), points will be added based on its status ``the number that appears on the numerical display, for example 5 (section chief)''. However, if you accidentally hit someone who doesn't look angry, the points multiplied by your status will be deducted. When you hit the three angry depositors, No Nma moves from right to left with a sound effect, and when it reaches the left end, its rank increases (see 2d in Figure 2), and the game continues after the total score is displayed. There are six ranks, and each rank has a different speed at which a person's face appears. Furthermore, when you hit 30 people in the 1st rank, it will be game over and the game will end. Making the mistake of hitting someone with an angry face (mistake)
Then, one failure symbol 2e on the display section 2 lights up. Failure is allowed at 2N1 within the same rank, and if you lose in the 8th round, the game is over.

When you rank up by beating 30 people, the number of failures will be reset and you will be allowed three new failures.

When you rank up by hitting 30 people with angry faces in the same rank, the total score will be displayed, then the hammer will shift from left to right and stop in the middle - 0 After that, a human face will appear. The process proceeds in the same manner as described above.

Next, the game Hoke, the same as Game I, appears! -' This is a game where you judge whether the person's face is angry or not, and then hit the person who is angry.
It is to criticize a colleague or superior in comparison to one's own position. If you hit a co-worker or someone below your rank, you will lose points. Also, if you hit a superior who is not angry, you will lose points and be demoted, and if you hit a colleague who is not angry, you will also lose points.

In game mode II, press r II J key.
In Numboru GAME■, the highest score and highest status can be displayed. The highest position deducts points, and after the blinking stops, the game starts. The appearance position of the hammer and the method of appearance of the person's face are the same as in Game I, but a number indicating the position of the player (self) is displayed in the 8th digit of the lower numerical display area. The face that appears is angry, and he judges whether it is someone of the same rank as the player or a superior, and then hits him. First, the player is required to judge not only graphical display information but also numerical display information at the same time.

Up! If you hit 30 people who meet your hitting conditions, the game
Similarly, the hammer shifts from right to left, the status increases (ranking display 2d), and the player is promoted. At this time, the following points will be added depending on the promoted position. In other words, employee → section manager 500 points General manager → executive 4000 points Section chief → section manager 1000 points Executive → president 5000 points section manager → general manager 2000 points When you hit 30 people in the position of president, the game is over.
Game VJ ends. Same position, same position or -
If you make the mistake of hitting an angry person in a role, you will fail and the failure symbol will light up. The number of failures is 3l, same as the game■
1 is allowed, and if you lose in the 3rd inning, the game is over. If you defeat 30 people and get promoted, the number of failures will be reset and you will be allowed three new failures. When you hit 30 people and get promoted, the total score is displayed as in Game I, then the hammer shifts from left to right and stops in the middle.

After that, a person appears and the game progresses.

In the game ■, when you hit someone who is not angry, in the game Zaijaku, you lose points when you hit someone who is not angry, and even if you are angry, you hit someone lower than the player. The value to be deducted is twice the score indicating the status displayed in the number display area.

[I'm not angry because of the unique specifications of the game]: When you hit a character, you will be demoted by one position and points will be deducted () The speed change of Gameno is the same - there are 3 stages within the position, and if you hit 10 people, it will increase sequentially. I will do it. When he is demoted in Game II, he will be lowered in rank, but his speed will retain the same speed as his rank before he was demoted.

If you hit 10 players in Sho fc, games ■ and ■, a "'0" indicating a bonus score will appear, and if you hit this, 500 points will be added. In this case, even if the player misses the hit, it is not considered a failure.

The highest score d has been maintained in each of the 19 games, and is maintained even in the off state. In Game I, when the score exceeds the previous highest score,
It will be recorded as the new highest score. For game H, the highest score and highest position are stored. This highest status is remembered with priority over the highest score. Therefore, if it is higher than the previous highest point M even if it is less than the previous highest score, it is newly stored as the highest position and highest score. If the rank is the same as the highest rank, the one with the higher score will have the highest score.

Game 1. If you miss hitting three times in both IIs, or if you hit 30 people at the president's rank, the game is over.

The display will be: after the mark flashes, the score, failure symbol, O
The VER symbol lights up. In addition, after the game is over, press the "ON/C" key, rOFFJ key, rlJ,
Only the IFJ key is valid.

The game is played as described below.

[System Structure (Block Diagram (Figure 4.5))] Next, a system block structure of a game calculator according to an example of the present invention for executing the above game will be described.

The system is roughly divided into LSI chip IO1 display unit 20. It is composed of a key unit 30.

The inside of the LSI chip 10 includes a control section, a part of memory,
Consists of an arithmetic unit, a power supply, a clock circuit unit, etc., and a ROMI+ and instruction decoder 12 as a control unit.
．． Stack in subroutine 13. It has a program counter 19, and includes RAM+4, Ax,
AY register (AX.

AY has RAM+4 files (data pointer specifying digits). The calculation unit is AI, U15°, LCD interface +6.
There is a key interface 17, which is connected to a liquid crystal display unit 20 and a key unit 30, respectively. In addition, a clock generator circuit 1 is used as a power supply/clock circuit.

Details of CROM Section) The ROMI+ has a built-in program for executing the present invention, and executes various instructions via the instruction decoder 12. 13 is a subroutine stand necessary when executing a program, and 19 is a counter for program addresses.

(Details of part of memory) RAM+4 is used for storing data, temporary storage during calculations, and flags as shown in Figure 5 (X, W, Z,
It has eight registers: Y, T, M, V, and U. As for the address of each register, the AX register specifies the file, and the AY register specifies the digit. Arithmetic unit (
ALU)+5 is performed in accordance with the iROMI+ program for calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Further, FIG. 5 shows a ROM layout diagram 2 shown in FIG. 4. Main registers, counters,
The flags etc. are as follows.

X: All contents corresponding to the digit where the person appears are retained.

Store the constant 1 in the digit where the two Y people appear.

W: Keep the total score.

Z: Keep the new total score. PS: Memorize the hammer position.

C: Counter for time to express the sign of people approaching PG Counter for the appearance position of two people (septinal) PT: Counter for the status of the person who appears (hexadecimal) PJ: Counter for the appearance of an angry person (decimal) ) "Explanation of System Operations" Next, each system operation of the game will be explained according to the flowchart. Note that the symbols used in flowchart 1 correspond to the RAM layout diagram (explained below).

``Expression processing of signs of someone approaching (Figure 6 ft), +2
1 > J In this game, the sign of someone approaching is expressed using numbers and shapes at certain intervals during the game. In Fig. 6 (1), first, in order to express the presence of people approaching at regular intervals, the time counter C is counted up to -(+11), and then the appearance position of the person is counted. The counter PG for counting the status of the person appearing, the counter PT1 for counting the status of the person appearing, and the count-up of the angry appearance color/return PJ are all resolved (n2 to n4). Next, judge whether the game key (1 or mouth) is pressed or not (n5) - If there is human power for the key, perform all the divisions of the game key, if there is no human power for the key, proceed to step n6, and proceed sequentially. Judge the status determination counter GT (n6 to n+
o) Time is set for each position from ol to 6, and each position judges counter C (
nn~ゎ16) When the content of the Q counter C reaches a preset time, a process is performed to express the presence of a person approaching. That is, in FIG. 6 (2), proceed to step old 7 and check whether Xi is smaller than 7 from the 1st to 7th digits of the judge. 7. J: If there is a small value, it means that the person whose status is 1 to 6'' appears and is 11. In this case, it will be Kokichi who missed the hit and it will be a failure. 7.l :The big thing is that the person who displayed the status from 1 to 6-1 has not appeared, and in order to express all the signs of the person approaching, perform hexadecimal X 0 Y → Xi (n + s) o
Here, the Y register stores a constant 1 in the digit where the person appears.

The sign of an approaching person is detected as shown in FIG. 3, but the value I4 of the X register corresponding to each display content is a blank code.

After hexadecimal addition, perform a complete judgment as to whether the content of the digit xpc of the X register with respect to the value of the person appearance position counter PG is a blank code 15 (II l!l ),

S4). If KT=4.5°6, a complete judgment is made as to whether the content of the angry person appearance counter PJ is greater than 3 (S5). When PJ<3, it is decoded (S6) and displayed completely, and when PJ≧3, I→VAi'i is performed to express the state of an angry person, and the steam is lit ( S7). Thereafter, as in the case of PJ<3, decoding and full display are performed. In the case of K-1゜2.3, judge P≧4 (S8), and when P(4), decode the hole, and when PJ≧4, perform 1→VAi to light the steam. .KT by the judge of this PJ
= 4.5.6, the probability that an angry person will appear is higher.

[How to Calculate Scores (Figure 8)] Next, when you get angry and hit someone in the face (target), explain how the points will be weighted depending on the position of the person being hit, and how the points will be added up.

In this game, the face of an angry person appears on the -J-, stage 2b of the display, and you hit it with the hammer key 3e to add up all the points. The points are added as follows:

In Figure 8, the above-mentioned hexadecimal addition X0Y −+
