BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to minicar racing toys, and more particularly, to an apparatus for recognizing a racing state of a minicar and displaying a racing time and ranking for each minicar.

In general, minicar racing is a play equipment for determining the superiority by comparing the performance of minicars that children have individually, it is simply composed of a rail of a certain length. In other words, the rail is not provided with any additional device, preferably a device for displaying the total racing time, sound, ranking, etc. of each minicar.

Therefore, such minicar racing simply has a function of operating the minicar on the rails, and there is no special function, which does not give children the feeling that they are actually racing. There is a problem that cannot be implemented.

On the other hand, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 86-334 is characterized in that the doll is mounted on a racing toy car in a normal minicar race so that the doll can run faster without falling out of the toy car. Car racing toys have been disclosed.

It is clear that such an application registration registration is useful in comparison with conventional minicar racing, which did not cause much interest in children's race cars (hereinafter referred to as 'minicar racing').

However, this registration proposal does not require any other effects, such as total race time, sound effects, and ranking, in addition to simply mounting a doll on a conventional minicar. It does not cause interest, and it is also expected that children will easily get tired of long-term use.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a mini car racing toy that can display the racing time, ranking and unique number of the mini car for each mini car.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for recognizing a racing state of a minicar and a method for recognizing the minicar's total racing time, effect sound, rank, and unique number.

According to a first aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, a minicar having an ID tag having a built-in code value and a starting signal of a minicar outputted from the ID tag are inputted and shaped into a TTL signal. A racing time and a unique number recognition device for a minicar comprising a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit displaying a racing time and a ranking of the minicar corresponding to the TTL signal output from the first driving circuit are implemented.

The present invention according to the second check for achieving the above object, the process of receiving and storing the code value output from the mini-car equipped with the ID tag, the process of starting the internal timer in response to the input of the code value; Comparing a total racing speed of the minicar with a preset racing speed; and searching for whether the total timer value of the minicar is equal to or less than a preset overtime value when the racing speed is the same in the comparing process; In the searching process, when the timer total value is less than the over time value, a high score is determined and the racing state recognition method of the mini car is implemented.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, it should be noted that only parts necessary for understanding the operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to obscure the subject matter of the present invention.

1 illustrates a configuration of a racing time recognition apparatus of a minicar for controlling to display a total racing time, an effect sound, a rank, and a unique number of a minicar according to each minicar according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the recognition apparatus of the present invention is largely composed of two parts, each of which is installed on each minicar ID tag 60 indicating a unique code value, and receives a predetermined signal from the ID tag 60 of the minicar It consists of a first driving circuit 10 and a second driving circuit 26 for displaying all information.

The first driving circuit 10 includes a coil unit 14, a receiver 16, a shaping unit 18, a logic gate 20, and a first central processing unit 22 (hereinafter, referred to as a “first CPU”). The second driving circuit 26 includes a speaker 28, an amplifier 30, a voice synthesizer 32, a display unit 36, and a second central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as a “second CPU”) 38. The detailed configuration of such first and second driving circuits will be easily understood by the following description.

The coil unit 14 receives a predetermined voltage from the power supply unit 12 to form a constant magnetic field so that a signal (hereinafter, referred to as a 'start signal') output from the ID tag 60 installed in the minicar is input to the receiver 16 to be described later. That is, when the magnetic field is formed in the coil unit 14, the ID tag 60 of the minicar generates a start signal under the influence of the magnetic field, and the signal is input to the receiving unit 16. The coil unit 14 and the ID tag 60 will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

The receiver 16 receives and amplifies a start signal output from the minicar, preferably an ID tag 60, and the shaping unit 18 receives the amplified signal from the receiver 16 and removes noise. The logic gate 20 converts and outputs a start signal, preferably a shaped start signal, output from the shaping unit 18 into a TTL signal. The first CPU 22 receives the TTL signal outputted from the logic gate 20, processes (collects and analyzes) and stores the TTL signal in RAM 24, and preferably processes the TTL signal at 2.36 Khz per second.

The second CPU 38 outputs an audio signal and a video signal in response to the input of the TTL signal output from the first CPU 22, and has a RAM 40 in which data for display is stored. In this case, the RAM 40 stores various image data, preferably data for driving a timer at 1/100 second and rotational speed data indicating a running speed of the minicar.

The speech synthesizer 32 is generally composed of three speech synthesizers, which include various data, preferably a sound effect when the minicar starts, an effect sound that generates a 'beep' every time the wheel is rotated, and a 'fanfar' sound after the final racing. Various data such as a sound effect for generating a sound and a sound effect for indicating an over time are stored. The voice synthesizer 32 transmits voice data in response to the input of the voice signal output from the second CPU 38. The amplifier 30 receives the voice data from the voice synthesizer and amplifies and outputs the voice data to the speaker 28.

The display unit 36 has a RAM for receiving and storing data (image data) for driving the timer from the second CPU 38 with a minimum of data, preferably 1/100 second. In addition, the display unit 36 outputs corresponding video data, that is, 1/100 second timer driving data and rotational speed data, to the monitor 34 in response to the input of the video signal output from the second CPU 38.

On the other hand, Figure 3 is a diagram showing the shape of the coil unit in the racing time recognition device of a minicar according to the present invention, the coil unit 14 is installed on the side of the rail, the coil is formed so as to overlap the rail horizontally. That is, the coil unit 14 is composed of the first coil 50a, 50b, 50c and both ends thereof overlap each other, which is to form a magnetic field improved by more than twice the normal magnetic field, and also to prevent noise .

4 is a perspective view illustrating main parts of the ID tag 60 installed on the bumper of the minicar, wherein the ID tag 60 has a rod 62 at the center thereof, and a second coil 64 is wound around the rod 62. At this time, the ID tag 60 is perpendicular to the coil unit 14, and the second coil 64 is wound to be horizontal to the coil of the coil unit 14. Here, the rod 62 is provided with a chip 66 representing a unique code value for each minicar.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying the total time, effect sound, ranking, and the unique number of the mini car, etc. for each mini car in the mini car racing of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2A to 2D. It is as follows.

First, although the racing time and the unique number recognition method of the minicar shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D are shown only the control method of the first CPU 22 and the second CPU 38, the operation of each component shown in FIG. It will be readily understood by FIG. 1 described above, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

Therefore, the description of the control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be clear that only the control method of the first CPU 22 and the second CPU 38, which are representative functions thereof, will be described in advance.

Referring to FIG. 2A, first, the user USER sets two conditions in advance, that is, the racing minicars are limited to three, and the total number of rotations of the minicars is set to three wheels.

After the racing of the minicar starts, the first CPU 22 and the second CPU 38 initialize each port in step 100. Thereafter, the first CPU 22 determines whether the minicar has started in step 104, preferably whether the minicar is on the signal input coil unit 14 installed on the rail. At this time, the ID tag 60 of the minicar outputs a start signal corresponding to the unique number of the minicar by the magnetic field of the coil unit 14. Thereafter, when it is determined that the minicar has started in step 104, preferably, when it is determined that a start signal (unique number) is input from the ID tag of the minicar, the first CPU 22 stores the code value in the RAM 24 in step 106. . If it is determined in step 104 that the first CPU 22 does not input a code value, the first CPU 22 performs step 100 again.

Thereafter, the first CPU 22 transmits the code value stored in the RAM 24 to the second CPU 38 in step 108. As illustrated in FIG. 2B, the second CPU 38 determines whether a code value is transmitted from the first CPU 22 in step 110. If it is determined in step 110 that the code value has been transmitted, the second CPU 38 receives the code value, preferably the code value of the minicar currently traveling on the rail, and stores it in RAM 40 in step 112. In operation 114, the second CPU 38 outputs the code value stored in the RAM 40 to the monitor 34. At the same time, the second CPU 38 outputs a start sound indicating the start of the minicar to the speaker 28 in step 116. In operation 118, the second CPU 38 drives the internal timer in units of 1/100 second.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2C, the second CPU 38 determines whether 1/100 second has elapsed in step 120. If it is determined that 1/100 second has passed in step 120, the second CPU 38 increases the internal timer in step 122, and simultaneously displays the timer on the monitor 34 in step 124. Preferably, the second CPU 38 outputs the time (timer) that the minicar is running on the rail to the monitor 34 in step 124.

Next, in step 126, the second CPU 38 determines whether a code value is transmitted from the first CPU 22, and preferably, the minicar continues to travel on the rail. When the code value is transmitted from the first CPU 22 in step 126, the second CPU 38 up-datas the code value in step 128. If the code value is not transmitted from the first CPU 22 in step 126, the second CPU 38 performs step 120 again.

In operation 130, the second CPU 38 compares whether the total rotational speed of the minicar traveling on the rail is the same as the preset rotational speed. If it is determined in step 130 that the total number of revolutions of the minicar is different from the set number of revolutions, the second CPU 38 outputs the current number of revolutions, preferably the rotational number in which the minicar is currently traveling, to the monitor 28 in step 132. . At the same time, the second CPU 38 outputs the sound effect of the 'beep' sound to the speaker 28 for 0.5 second in step 134, and then performs step 122 again. That is, for example, if the minicar is currently rotating one wheel under the process of setting three wheels (rotation speed) in advance, the second CPU 38 monitors 'one revolution' in steps 132 and 134 to monitor 34. At the same time, a sound ('beep') indicating that one minicar has been rotated is output to the speaker 28.

If it is determined in step 130 that the total speed of the minicar is equal to the preset speed, as shown in FIG. 2D, the second CPU 38 has a timer total value in step 136, preferably a total of which the minicar has driven. It is determined whether the time is less than or equal to a preset over time value. If it is determined in step 136 that the total timer value is less than the set over time value, the second CPU 38 determines a high score in step 142. If it is determined in step 142 that it is less than the total time value of the first place, that is, if it is determined that it is earlier than the total driving time of the already completed minicar, the second CPU 38 monitors the image data of 'first place' in step 148. It outputs 34 and at the same time outputs sound effect of 'fanfare' sound to Spieger 28 in 150 steps.

If it is determined in step 142 that it is slower than the total time value of the first place, the second CPU 38 determines whether the total driving time of the minicar that has completed the current driving in step 144 is faster than the second place. In step 144, the second CPU 38 outputs the image data of 'second light' to the monitor 34 in step 152 and simultaneously outputs an effect sound of 'panfar' sound to the speaker 28 in step 154.

If it is determined that the process is slower than the second place in step 144, the second CPU 38 determines whether the total driving time of the minicar that has completed the current driving process is faster than the third place in step 146. If it is determined in step 146 that it is faster than the third lamp, the second CPU 38 outputs the image data of 'three lamps' to the monitor 34 in step 156, and simultaneously outputs the effect sound of 'panfar' sound to the speaker 28 in step 158. . In this case, if it is determined that the process is slower than 3, the second CPU 30 terminates the operation.

Here, if it is determined in step 136 that the total value of the timer of the minicar that has finished driving is equal to or greater than the preset over time value, the second CPU 38 outputs the image data of 'over time' to the monitor 34 in step 138. At the same time, 140 outputs an over time sound to the speaker 28.

As described above, the present invention has an effect of knowing the current racing rank and how much time the minicar is currently rotating when children are racing. And because they have their own numbers attached to their minicars for racing, they have the advantage of not only causing children's interest in play but also getting tired easily.

In addition, the present invention displays the total racing time, various sound effects, racing ranking and the unique number of the minicar on the monitor through the monitor not only superior to the conventional minicar racing toy but also can be compared with the conventional racing toy. It has no elevated effect.
