Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the execution of various games smoothly by incorporating a controller having a timer. CONSTITUTION:Switches S, C and N are provided to set or release a timer which contains liquid crystal display panels 11L and 11R, a operation switch ''L'' for a player L and an operation switch ''R'' for a player R in the body 10. Then, after respective given times are set by players, when with the player R having the first move, the player L presses the switch ''L'', a timer R starts. When the player R presses the switch ''R'' before the set time is reached, the timer R stops and a timer L starts. Then, when the switch ''L'' is pressed during the operation of the timer L, the timer L stops and the timer R zero-reset starts. When the initial set times of the timers are reached with the repetition of this operation, an end tone is generated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic clock used for various board games.

Conventionally, when playing various board games, it was inconvenient that there was no suitable clock to make the game run smoothly.The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Furthermore, a microcomputer chip is used to make the game electronic timepiece of the present invention lightweight and compact, and the features of the present invention will be described below with particular reference to flowcharts and the like.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The main body 10 includes liquid crystal display panels 11L and 11R, a switch "L" operated by the contestant, a switch "R" operated by the contestant R, and a switch "US" used to return to the initially set time after completion. , a switch "uC" for clearing everything and returning to the state before setting, and a switch "N" for initially setting the expiration time.

Here, a method of using the electronic gaming timepiece of the present invention will be described. By operating the switch "N", the storage areas HI, ML, SL and I (
Rewrite R, MR, and SR in order. This mode can be switched by pressing uS. Note that HL, ML, SL
is the time corresponding to the hour, minute, and second of the athlete, and H
R.

MJSR is the time that player R has.

After setting the time, if player R is the first player, the player presses L", which activates timer R. Before timer R reaches the first set time, player R presses uR". If you press , timer R will stop and timer L will start. Also, if you press uL" while timer L is running, timer L will stop and timer R, which has been reset to zero, will start operating again. From now on, perform the above operation before the time after zero reset reaches the time you originally set. If repeated, the process continues indefinitely, and when either of the timers LXR reaches the initially set time, a sound is generated to indicate the end.

Furthermore, if u S jj is pressed after completion, the timers L and R will automatically become operable under the previously set conditions, or if C'' is pressed, the timer will be returned to the state before the time setting.

2 and 6 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, step (abbreviated as S in the illustration) 10
1, set the time limit KLXML for the athlete R, and the time limits HR and MRXSR for the SL1 athlete R, respectively. Thereafter, in step 102, the holding time is converted into seconds, and in step 106, it is latched. Steps 104 and 105 are repeated until uL" or "R" is pressed. If L" is pressed, the process moves to step 201, and if uR" is pressed, the process moves to step 601.

In step 201, timer R is initialized. In step 202, the rewriting of step 206 is performed in response to the rise of the one-second clock of the clock generation circuit. If "R" is pressed while timer R is operating, a decision is made as in step 204 and the process moves to step 601. In step 204 uR
If " is not pressed, the process proceeds to step 205, where it is determined whether ZR has reached 60. If ZR has reached 60, it is converted as in step 206, and in the same way, in step 207, it is determined whether YR has reached 60. If YR reaches 60, it is converted as in step 208. This is always displayed as in step 209, and in step 210 it is determined whether the initial RU of 1 friend setting is below 0#. be done.

If the RU has not become 0 or less in step 210, the process returns to step 202, and if the RU has become 0 or less in step 210, a sound is generated in step 401 to notify that the time limit has expired. After this, keep repeating steps 402 and 403 until you press "Sn or uC".
When is pressed, the value latched in step 106 is substituted in step 404 and the process returns to step 102, allowing the timer to be started without resetting the time limit. If uC" is pressed in step 406, step 10
Return to 1.

Steps 601 to 610 can be thought of as being symmetrical to steps 201 to 210 as shown in the figure, so after one of the timers starts, the first time set by either timer is uL" If uR'' is repeated, it will be repeated semi-permanently.

Furthermore, it would be even easier to use if a mode change switch was provided so that the time display could be selected when not being used for games or the like.

Further, in the embodiments described above, a liquid crystal display panel is used as a time display panel, but the display panel may be constructed using other means capable of displaying information using electric power, such as an electrochromic display.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] Two sets of timer functions for counting the time consumed by the 12 sets of competitors, one common central control device for operating both timer functions alternately, An electronic gaming clock having one or more display panels responsive to displaying the time. 2. The central controller stops one of the two timer functions in response to at least one operating means, starts one of the two sets of timer functions after the zero reset, and starts the other timer function before the elapsed time after the zero reset reaches the first set time. 2. The gaming electronic timepiece according to claim 1, characterized by a counting function that is reset semi-permanently by repeating said operating means.
