Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an infrared game system and an infrared game system,

The present invention relates to an infrared game system and an infrared game system control method.

Generally, a user can directly manipulate contents displayed on a large screen, that is, video information, by using a classical method of using a mechanical input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, or by using a touch screen provided on the display panel .

In recent years, touch screen related technology has been mainly used due to the development of smart phones. The touch screen has a static or electrostatic touch function on the surface of the display panel, and the user can directly input the command by touching the display. Such a touch screen requires a special UI for displayed image information, and when it is introduced into a large display panel, the cost for implementing the touch screen is very expensive. Especially, when the static pressure type and the electrostatic type touch screen are enlarged, there is a problem that sensitivity is lowered. In addition, the conventional operation method as described above has a problem in that only a two-dimensional operation can be performed on the user side in a manner that the user directly touches the screen or operates the input through the input.

The game machines incorporate motion recognition sensors such as camera sensors to output image information differently in response to the user's actions and the like. Such conventional game machines have a problem of lack of precision sensing function for point coordinates, , A problem that many users do not recognize when moving.

For example, when a game in which a plurality of children (infants) are displayed on an image screen by displaying a ball or the like is implemented through a conventional touch screen or a game machine as described above, the touch screen method is firstly applied to a large- It is necessary to implement a touch screen. In this case, since the large LCD display itself is very expensive, there is a problem that a large cost is incurred.

In addition, to prevent breakage, the cost of the LCD surface must be fin- ished by expensive tempered glass, and as the size increases, the thickness of the tempered glass is inevitably increased because it is vulnerable to impact or pressure.

In addition, the static pressure touch method has a problem of input delay (delay), and when a plurality of the touches are simultaneously touched, real-time interlocking may not be realized due to the problem of recognition and sensing speed.

1 is a view showing an example of a game room in which an infrared game system according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

The infrared game system according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used in various places where games can be performed such as a venue, an exhibition hall, a home, a kindergarten, a school, and a game room. It is a type of game in which the target position is output to the image, and the score is counted when the user throws the object toward the target and fits. The age range of the user varies, but it can be particularly helpful for the physical development of the growing infant.

Referring to FIG. 1, an infrared game system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an output device 20, an infrared ray generator 30, and a game controller 40.

The output device 20 may output an image including one or more predetermined target positions T on the screen surface 10. [ The output device 20 may be constituted by a beam projector. Of course, the output device 20 is not limited to the beam projector, and may be a device capable of outputting a game image on the screen surface 10. The image output by the output device 20 includes a predetermined target position T so that the user can throw an object toward the target. In the image, the target may be fixed or moving. For example, in the first stage of the game level, one or more predetermined targets (T) may be output in a fixed state, and if the game level is increased by completing step 1, have. The target position, the number, the movement, and the target size of the output image may vary depending on the physical condition of the user and the score of the game.

Also, the target may disappear from the image and a new target may be regenerated if the user throws and fits the object. By the end of the game the target can be created and disappear repeatedly.

The infrared ray generator 30 is provided on the screen surface 10 and can generate infrared coordinates of a size corresponding to the image. The infrared ray generator 30 may include an infrared ray transmitter 32 and an infrared ray receiver 34. The infrared ray transmitter 32 may transmit infrared rays from one side to the other and the infrared ray receiver 34 may receive infrared rays transmitted from one side thereof from the other side. The infrared ray transmitting unit 32 and the infrared ray receiving unit 34 are provided facing each other to generate infrared coordinates. Infrared coordinates can be used to sense where the object that the user is throwing touches the screen surface 10.

The game control device 40 includes a control unit (not shown) for controlling whether the infrared ray generator generates infrared rays and generating infrared coordinates and a position of a contact point at which infrared ray reception is blocked by an object projected at an arbitrary position on the screen plane And a sensing unit (not shown).

First, the game controller 40 may control whether the infrared ray generator 30 generates infrared rays. When a game image is output to the screen surface 10, the infrared ray generator 30 can be controlled to generate infrared rays on the screen surface 10 to output infrared coordinates. The game controller 40 can convert the image projected on the screen surface 10 into screen coordinates corresponding to the infrared coordinates.

In addition, the game control device 40 can detect the position of a contact point at which an infrared ray is blocked at an arbitrary position on the screen surface by the object being thrown through the infrared coordinates and the screen coordinates. Specifically, when a user throws an object toward a target outputted to an image, the infrared ray can be blocked at an arbitrary position on the screen surface by the object being thrown. Accordingly, the infrared game device 40 can detect the position of the contact point of the object by confirming the point where the infrared ray reception is blocked in the infrared coordinates.

Next, the game control device 40 can check the screen point corresponding to the contact point in the screen coordinates, and compare the screen point corresponding to the contact point with the predetermined target position. The point can be counted by comparing the contact point with the target position. Of course, the game control device 40 may compare the target position and the point of contact on the infrared coordinates to count the points.

In addition, the game control device 40 is capable of online connection through a plurality of other infrared game systems and a game server, counts the game score of the user, transmits the counted game score to the game server, The player ranking of the player can be received. Thus, it is possible to confirm the degree of one's own among a plurality of users.

2 is a view illustrating an infrared ray generator according to an embodiment of the present invention installed on a screen surface.

Referring to FIG. 2, the infrared ray generator 30 may include one or more infrared ray transmitter 32 and one or more infrared ray receiver 34. The infrared ray transmitting unit 32 and the infrared ray receiving unit 34 may be provided along the outer circumference of the screen surface 10. The infrared ray transmitter 32 and the infrared ray receiver 34 may be provided on at least one of the upper side and the lower side and at least one of the left side and the right side. In the present embodiment, the extending direction of the shorter sides in Fig. 2 is referred to as a longitudinal direction, and the upper side and the lower side are divided along the longitudinal direction. In Fig. 2, the extending direction of the longer sides is referred to as a transverse direction, Explain it. For example, the infrared ray transmitter 32 is provided on the upper side and the infrared ray receiver 34 is provided on the lower side and the right side, and the infrared ray transmitter 32 and the infrared ray receiver 34 may be provided facing each other have. One or more infrared ray transmitting units 32 and one or more infrared ray receiving units 34 are provided in pairs facing each other and the infrared ray coordinates can be generated by the intersections of the infrared ray transmitted and received in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Accordingly, infrared coordinates including the x-axis coordinate and the y-axis coordinate corresponding to the image can be generated. With the infrared ray coordinates thus formed, the game controller 40 can sense the position of the contact point at which the object is in contact.

3 is a view showing a sensing region of a game image and a game image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the infrared game system may further include a score display unit 12. The score display unit 12 can display a score counted when the user throws and fits an object toward the target.

The game control device 40 may count the game score by judging whether or not the position of the contact point is within the sensing area S including the target position T to count the score.

The sensing area S is an area having a predetermined distance from the target position, and counts a point when a contact point occurs within the sensing area S. The sensing area S may include a basic area S2 and an extended area S4.

The basic area S2 may be an area where the contact point of the object is at a first distance from the target position T. [ As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3, a range from the target position to the points (a, b, c, d) separated by a first distance from the target position on the X axis or the Y axis of the infrared coordinates on the infrared coordinates is referred to as a basic region S2 . For example, the first distance may be a point (a, b, c, d) away from the coordinate point of the target position T by one. Of course, the first distance is not limited to a point spaced by 1, but may be a point spaced by two, or a point of coordinates desired by a user or an operator may be set. The first distance may be set to a setting value or may be set by a user or an operator. The basic area S2 thus set is an area where the score can be counted. The score can be counted when a touch point occurs in the base area S2.

On the other hand, if the user throws the object toward the target but the contact point is repeatedly generated in the area close to the basic area S2 out of the basic area S2, the extended area S4 extending the area for counting the score is set So that the detection area S can be reset. If the user throws an object but does not repeatedly hit the target and the game can not be progressed, the detection area S may be enlarged through the extended area S4 so that the game progresses smoothly. Particularly, since the child in the growing period may have difficulty in throwing the object and aligning the target, it is possible to smoothly play the game through the extended area S4 and to make the game interesting.

For example, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3, from the coordinate points (a, b, c, d) of the base area S2 to the extended coordinate points A, B, C, (S4). The extended area S4 may be set based on a position where the user repeatedly touches an object out of the basic area S2. For example, the extended area S4 may be configured to determine the distance from the base area S2 or the target location T to a contact point sensed outside the base area S2, calculate an average value between the identified distances, The area S4 can be set.

The extended area S4 may be set in advance before the start of the game or may be set automatically even during the progress of the game. Alternatively, the extended area may be automatically set at the start of a new game reflecting the previous game record.

The sensing area S can be determined through the basic area S2 and the extended area S4 set as described above. The game control device 40 can count a point when a contact point where the user touches and touches an object at a coordinate point located in the sensing area S occurs.

In addition, the score counted depending on whether the contact point occurs within the base area S2 or the extended area S4 may vary. For example, five points may be counted when a contact point occurs in the basic region S2, and three points may be counted when a contact point occurs in the extended region S4. Of course, the points for the contact points generated in the basic area S2 and the extended area S4 may be equally given.

FIG. 4A is a view showing a plurality of game images displayed on the screen surface at the same time according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4B is a view showing a game screen of another infrared game system And the video is output through the output device.

Referring to FIG. 4A, an infrared game system according to an embodiment of the present invention allows a plurality of users to simultaneously play a game together. You can play games on the same screen at the same time, and you can increase your interest in game progress and participation through confrontation.

The output device 20 is configured such that a plurality of game images are not overlapped with each other on the screen surface 10 so that a plurality of users can simultaneously play the game, thereby simultaneously outputting the game images. A plurality of game images output at the same time may be outputted with the same target position (T), target number, etc., or may be output differently according to the setting of the user or the operator. In addition, since a plurality of users play the game, it is possible to output different images to each user depending on the progress of the game after the game starts. For example, if the first user and the second user simultaneously play the game but the second user has a higher score than the first user, or the second user completes the first level more quickly than the first user, While one user proceeds to the first level, the second user may proceed to the second level, which is the next level. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second user may wait until the first user completes the first level, and then the second user may move to the second level at the same time. This is not limited to any one, but may vary depending on the setting of the user or the operator.

When the output device 20 outputs a plurality of game images at the same time, the game controller 40 divides the area of the infrared coordinates according to the number of game images output to the screen surface 10, can do. Accordingly, the game control device 40 can count the game score for each region of the infrared coordinates according to each contact point recognized in each of the plurality of regions of infrared coordinates. Thus, scores of each of a plurality of users can be displayed.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the infrared game system according to an embodiment of the present invention can play a game simultaneously with other users online. The game control device 40 can be connected to the infrared game system on-line. Therefore, a plurality of users can play the game together at the home or the place where the game is played. The game control device 40 may cause the game image of another online infrared game system to be output to the screen surface 10 through the output device 20. [ For example, when the first user and the second user play the game together, the game progress screen of the second user may be displayed at the lower or upper part of the image of the first user. On the contrary, the game progress screen of the first user may be displayed on the second user's screen.

5 is a diagram illustrating correction of screen coordinates of a game image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the output device 20 may output an image having a rectangular frame on the screen surface 10. At this time, the image output by the output device 20 may not be formed to correspond to the size of the screen surface 10, or may not be the size of the image desired by the user or the operator. Accordingly, the infrared coordinates corresponding to the respective corners of the output image are input, and the screen coordinates of the image can be corrected using the infrared coordinates of the input corners.

Specifically, the output device 20 has a rectangular shape having arbitrary infrared ray coordinates P1 (X1, Y1), P2 (X2, Y2), P3 (X3, Y3), and P4 The image can be output. An image corresponding to any of the infrared coordinates P1, P2, P3, and P4 having a smaller size than the entire size of the screen surface 10 may be outputted and may be of a size inappropriate for a user to play. Accordingly, the user or the operator can adjust the hand or the object to the desired image size by contacting the infrared coordinates. A user's hand or an object is brought into contact with a position corresponding to each corner of an image of a desired size and the infrared coordinates corresponding to the contacted corner are input and the screen coordinates can be corrected using the infrared coordinates of each of the input edges . For example, in the setting of outputting an image for starting a game, the image size can be set by contacting an image coordinate of a desired size with a hand or an object on the screen surface 10 as soon as the image is outputted.

P1, P2, P3, and P4 are the coordinates of the corner where the image is first output, and P2, P5, P6, P7 are the corner coordinates of the image size to be corrected. For example, to correct the screen size, the coordinates of P1 (X1, Y1) may be manually touched, and then the coordinates of P1 may be moved to P5 by touching P5 (X5, Y5). Similarly, after touching P3, P7 (X7, Y7) can be contacted to move P3 to P7, and P4 to P8 (X8, Y8). If you want to keep the first coordinates like P2, you can not touch P2, or you can touch P2 again after touching P2. However, the size adjustment of the image is not limited thereto, and any image size setting method that can be set using the coordinates may be included.

On the other hand, when the image is outputted at the coordinates P1, P2, P3, and P4 of the first corner, the game controller 40 may not be able to recognize exactly the position of the corner of the image in the infrared coordinates. In this case, the game controller 40 receives the infrared coordinates corresponding to the corners of the image, and can accurately recognize the screen coordinates of the image using the infrared coordinates of the corners. For example, when the user touches the corner coordinates P1, P2, P3, and P4 of the image by hand or by holding an object, the infrared ray generator 30 can recognize the respective coordinates and transmit the recognized coordinates to the game controller 40 ). Accordingly, the game control device 40 has an effect of recognizing accurate coordinate values corresponding to the edges of the image output to the screen surface 10. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an infrared game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 6, an infrared game system control method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include outputting an image including one or more preset target positions on a screen surface (S100) through an output device. In this case, the output image may be output as a rectangle having a rectangular shape, receiving infrared coordinates corresponding to the respective corners of the image, and correcting the screen coordinates of the image using the infrared coordinates of the input corners And may further include additional. However, the image size correction is not limited to this, and the image size may be preset by the game control device 40 to output an image.

Next, the infrared ray generating apparatus may include generating an infrared ray coordinate having a shape corresponding to the image outputted on the screen surface (S200). Next, the method may include converting the image into screen coordinates corresponding to the infrared coordinates (S300).

Next, a step of setting a detection area (S400) may be included. This is to set an area for counting the points when the touch point where the user touches and touches the object is close to the target position. The score can be counted if the contact point occurs in the sensing area S without counting the score when the contact point is out of the sensing area S. [

Next, a step S500 of sensing a contact point at which an object touches the infrared coordinates may be included. Next, a step S600 of comparing the position of the contact point with the predetermined target position may be included. Next, it may include determining whether the contact point is within the sensing area S including the target position (S700). The score is counted if the touch point is within the sensing area S and the score is not counted when the touch point is outside the sensing area S.

Next, a step S800 of calculating a score may be included. The score of the user can be calculated based on the score counted in the sensing area S.

Next, step S900 of judging the end of the game may be included. The game may be set to a predetermined time, and the game may be automatically terminated after a predetermined time, or the game may be terminated based on the number of targets. The end of the game can be set by the user or operator.

Next, the game score may be transmitted to the game server (S1000). The game score can be transmitted to the game server, and the rank ranking of the user can be calculated. Accordingly, the user can confirm his / her ranking among all users of the game.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of setting a sensing area according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 7, step S400 of setting the sensing area may include determining whether the touch point is within the basic area S2 at a first distance from the target position (S410). Here, the first distance can be set by the user or the operator before the game starts. If the touch point is repeatedly out of the basic area S2, the extended area S4 can be set to reset the sensing area S. [

 Next, the step S430 may include checking the distance between the contact point and the target position T (S430). The distance between the touch point and the target position T or the basic area S2 can be confirmed in order to set the extended area S4 if the contact point deviates from the basic area S2 a preset number of times.

Next, it may include determining whether the distance confirmation has been confirmed a predetermined number of times (S450). Next, a step S470 of calculating an average value of the distances determined by the predetermined number of times may be included. In order to calculate the average value of the distance between the contact point and the target position T or the basic area S2, the distance confirmation must be confirmed a predetermined number of times.

Next, the step S490 may include setting an extended area to be enlarged by an average value based on the target position. Thus, the sensing area S where the touch points are contacted and counts the score can be reset to the user.
