Therefore, the detailed description of the main body operating device 12 itself, which is a part related to the conventional game device, will be omitted.

Now, the weapon system operating apparatus 11 according to the present invention will be described in detail.

The transmitter 11-1 transmits the radio signal to the outside, and the receiver 11-2 receives the radio signal from the outside. Information transmitted / received through the transmitter 11-1 and the receiver 11-2 includes weapon information on the weapon to be attacked and information informing of the hit. At this time, the wireless transmission and reception can be preferably configured by using the infrared, in this case, due to the straightness of the infrared communication with each other game device in a straight line.

The signal processing unit 11-3 transmits the weapon information that it intends to use for the current attack through the transmitting unit 11-1, and receives the weapon information on the intention to attack another game device through the receiving unit 11-2. . To this end, the signal processing unit 11-3 forms a signal in accordance with a wireless signal form and a transmission / reception protocol, and performs a signal processing function such as extracting a digital data type signal from the received wireless signal.

The weapon driver 11-4 transmits the weapon information to be used for the current attack by the signal processor 11-3, and then drives the weapon 13 corresponding to the weapon information. Weapons can be configured in various forms.

Examples of the weapon include a weapon that emits a constant ray of light, a weapon that applies a certain impact, and a weapon that assumes a virtually set state. In this case, to assume a virtually set state means to assume a situation such as hypnosis, epidemic, stealing score, etc., and the opponent's game device is treated to be regarded as hit when the weapon information is received. Can be.

The sensing unit 11-5 may detect that the user has been hit by a certain weapon, and may include a sensor corresponding to each weapon. Examples include an optical sensor corresponding to a light weapon, a vibration sensor for detecting an impact by a fist or a missile, and the like.

After receiving the weapon information from the other game device, the hit processing unit 11-6 detects that the weapon has been hit by the detection unit 11-5 within a predetermined time, and transmits a signal indicating that a hit has been received. Send via). Herein, a predetermined time is a time interval during which an attack must be performed by using an actual weapon after the intention of attack is transmitted by transmitting weapon information. That is, the game device must drive and hit the attack weapon within a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) after revealing the intention to attack.

At this time, it can be implemented more preferably if it produces a certain effect, such as the impact sound and explosion sound at the time of a hit. That is, when the hit effect processor 11-9 detects that the hit has been hit by the hit processor 11-6, it outputs a signal that notifies the user visually or acoustically. An example of the visual output is to flash a certain LED, and an acoustic example is to output a certain effect sound (explosion sound, impact sound, etc.) through the speaker.

The attack processing unit 11-7 determines that the attack is successful when transmitting the weapon information to be used for the attack through the transmitting unit 11-1 and receiving the information indicating that the player was attacked by another game device within a predetermined time.

In addition, it can be configured to score the game results.

In addition, if the attack processing unit 11-7 detects that the attack is successful, and manages the score of the jisin by increasing a certain score. Of course, the score can be configured to be output in a certain form.

At this time, the increased or decreased score may be set differently for each weapon. For example, 10 fists are relatively easy to attack, 15 beams, 30 missiles are hard to hit. At this time, the user can purchase a knife or missile with a high score in order to obtain a higher score and can be mounted on the game device.

In this regard, the game device to which the present invention is applied may be configured to automatically detect the current mounting state of various weapons or allow the user to set them. In other words, it is obvious that the game device can be configured to determine the mounted state of the knife, the mounted state of the missile and the like.

The score state output unit 11-10 outputs a specific signal visually or acoustically or drives the game device in a predetermined form according to the current score. For example, an alarm may be sounded when the score approaches a certain point at which the surrender should be surrendered, or when the score reaches 0, the controller may raise a bar with a white flag.

On the other hand, the radio signals each game device exchanges each other through the transmitter 11-1 and the receiver 11-2 may be configured to further include identification information for uniquely identifying each game device in addition to the weapon information. Can be.

That is, the game device to perform an attack transmits identification information that can uniquely identify itself in addition to the weapon information, and the attacked game device transmits a signal informing the shot fact and sends its identification information in addition to the signal indicating the shot fact. Send together. Each game device can then accurately determine the attacker and the target.

In addition, each game device may proceed with the attack regardless of whether or not the opponent game device that is the target of the attack on the front, it may be configured to attack only when there is an opponent game device to attack. At this time, there may be a variety of ways to recognize the presence of the other party.

Referring to FIG. 3, an embodiment of recognizing an opponent is described. The game device A 10, which is to perform an attack, continuously transmits an existence confirmation signal through the transmitter 11-2 and receives the existence confirmation signal. One game device B 20 transmits a presence response signal as a response to the game device A 10. Then, the game device A 10 can confirm the existence of the game device B 20 which is the opponent game device, and can start the attack after confirming that the opponent exists. In an embodiment using infrared as a wireless signal, since the opponent game device in the linear direction can be identified, an attack on the front surface may be made after the opponent game device is confirmed.

Now, with reference to Figure 4 will be described the process of operating a weapon in accordance with the weapon system operating method of the present invention.

First, the game device A to be attacked selects or automatically selects the weapon to be used for the current attack (S41 and S42), and then transmits weapon information indicating the weapon to the game device B (S43). Then, the selected weapon is driven (S44). The weapon driven through step S44 may include a weapon that emits a predetermined ray of light, a weapon that applies a certain impact, a weapon that assumes a virtually set state, and the like.

On the other hand, the game device B under attack receives the weapon information from the game device A, and if a hit state is detected according to the weapon information within a predetermined time (S45, S46), a signal informing of the shooting fact is transmitted to the game device A. Transmit (S47). In this case, the hit state may correspond to a reception state of a light beam, a vibration generation state, a reception state of a predetermined sound, or a state deemed to be detected by default in response to the attack weapon used in step S44.

Then, the game device B performs a process related to being hit, and when the game device A receives a signal informing of the shooting fact from the game device B, it is determined that the attack using the weapon is successful (S49). The operation state after detecting the successful attack or the attack in steps S48 and S49 can be configured in various ways.
