In the chord generation, the master terminal determines the priority of the slave entity and the timing of sound generation, and starts a song having a chord or a cooperative song such as a cappella. When the song comes to the point where the chord or chorus is needed, the master terminal sends data to the corresponding slave entity to play the note for each point.

The network between the entities is master intensive and the master terminal can always perform uplink and downlink to the slave, but the slave must receive data through the downlink of the master. Data can be uplinked.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the following.

1 is a schematic block diagram showing a chord generating device using wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, users are configured with a terminal 1 110, a terminal 2 120, a terminal 3 130, and a terminal 4 140 for network education or a game using wireless communication. The example of FIG. 1 illustrates the case of four users, and a plurality of users may be added or subtracted.

The contents of the terminal and the song in the doll are new contents by the Internet and a computer or various communication means. This can be downloaded.

When the winner is determined through the network game between the terminals, the master terminal 110 is determined. The master terminal designates an object owned by the master terminal user, that is, an object such as a doll or a toy, as well as an object 150 to 180 of another terminal owner as a slave object through wireless communication. Next, the master terminal establishes a wireless network with the slave 1 150, the slave 2 160, the slave 3 170, and the slave 4 180 to determine the time and sequence to match the chord. That is, the master terminal determined between the terminals measures how many slave entities exist around (within 10m), and then selects the priority of each slave entity according to each user's grade to make a proper song. Selects and transmits data on the time and sound source to generate the chord according to the selected song to each slave entity, and when the choral starts, each slave entity controls the start and end of the chord under the control of the master terminal. Decide accordingly to achieve appropriate harmony.

Referring to FIG. 3, the slave entity 150 includes a controller 152, an RF wireless communication module 151, a memory 154, a USB communication unit 156, a speaker 157, and a sound control unit 153. The controller 152 recognizes its ID by a program stored in the memory 154 and waits for a specific signal from the terminal 110. When a signal is transmitted from the master terminal 110, the RF wireless communication module 151 recognizes this and communicates with surrounding objects to output the appropriate chord to the speaker 157 through the control of the sound controller 153. The USB communication unit 156 is connected to a computer by wire or wirelessly to receive new sound.

Then, the operation of the chord generating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration will be described in detail.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating a chord until the chord ends in a terminal network configuration.

First, users operate their terminals to configure a network. When an attempt is made to start configuration 300 of the network (S300), each terminal 110-120 checks whether a connection is made (S301), and if the connection is not made, perform a search (Search) (S302). The network is configured and education or game is started (S303). This section focuses on games and can apply educational programs such as quizzes.

At this time, the user controls the switch 116 of each terminal (110 ~ 140) to play the game, determines the winner after the network game (S304), and designates the terminal of the winner as a master terminal (S305). ).

The controller 113 of the master terminal 110 configures the network between the slave entities 150 to 180 as the main body in accordance with the input of the switch 116 input from the user (S306), and sings and plays according to the user input. Chord chords are selected (S307).

In addition, according to the user input, the master terminal 110 determines different songs and chords according to the number of slaves measured in the vicinity.

When a song is selected, the slave entities 15-180 generate their chords according to the control signal of the master terminal 110, and accordingly, the chorus is performed (S308).

After the song is finished, the controller 113 of the master terminal 110 releases the network (S310).

In the above process, the master terminal 110 is the terminal 1, but may vary according to the game result, and the operation of each component is also the same.

The communication method of the above process will be described in more detail as follows.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram of a time communication method for configuring a network between a master terminal and a slave entity to achieve a chord. FIG.

When the master terminal 110 is determined, the master terminal 110 starts a song after forming a network with the slave entities 150 to 180.

When the chord of the slave entity 1 150 is required, the master terminal 110 transmits chord generation request data to the slave entity 1 150, and the slave entity 1 150 transmits an ACK (response) signal and a chord 1. Outputs

When the chord of the slave entity 2 (160) is required, the master terminal 110 transmits chord generation request data to the slave entity 2 (160), and the slave entity 2 (160) sends an ACK (response) signal and the chord 2 Output

When the chorus chord of the slave objects 1, 2, and 3 (150, 160, 170) is reached, the master terminal 110 requests the slave entity 1 150, the object 2 160, and the object 3 170 to generate the chord. Each of the slave entities 1, 2, and 3 (150, 160, 170) outputs an ACK (response) signal and a chorus chord 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

In addition, when a chorus chord of only the slave entities 3 and 4 (170, 180) is required, the master terminal 110 transmits chord generation request data to the slave entities 3 170 and 4 180, respectively, and the slave entity. 3, 4 (170, 180) outputs an ACK (response) signal and chorus chords 3 and 4, respectively, and the music ends. At this time, the song of the master terminal 110 may be continued or stopped while the chord is generated.

In this manner, chords may be generated, the song of the master terminal may proceed, and such chords may proceed in various ways, and slave data may output song data other than the chord.

The flow of such a communication signal is as follows.

6 is a diagram illustrating a communication method between terminals.

6 illustrates a communication method between terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 (110 to 140) when the time 400 is regarded as the X axis. Each terminal 110 to 140 generates a reference time through an internal timer (not shown), and then relatively determines a transmission time according to each ID. That is, the transmission order of the terminals 1,2,3,4 (110 to 120) is determined according to the reference time.

Transmit and receive use different frequency bands and, in the case of reception, continue to be active regardless of time. When the time is 1T, the transmission 410 of the terminal 1 110 is made, the transmission 430 of the terminal 2, the transmission 450 of 3, the transmission 470 of 4 is not made.

When the transmission 410 of the terminal 1 (110) is made, the terminals 2, 3, and 4 (120, 130, 140) sequentially transmits an ACK signal indicating that the signal has been received. If the transmission signal 430 of the terminal 2 120 is not received in the format defined by the terminal 4 140, the terminal 4 140 sends a NAK (non-responsive) signal 470 at the time of 8T. 2 120 retransmits the same data.

All terminals other than the transmitting terminal send an ACK signal before the next terminal switches to the transmission mode.

7 is a diagram illustrating a communication method between a master terminal and slave entities.

Considering the time 500 as the X-axis, a communication method between the master terminal 110 and the slave objects 1, 2, 3, and 4 (150 to 180) is shown.

When the master terminal 110 is determined, unlike the communication between the terminals of FIG. 6, communication is performed around the master terminal 110.

When the master terminal 110 transmits data to the slave entity 1 150 (Slave 1) (510), the slave entity 1 150 receives the data 540 and transmits an ACK signal to the master terminal 110 if the data is valid data. (530)

The master terminal 110 has sent data to the slave entity 2 (160). If the slave entity 2 170 does not receive a valid signal, the slave entity 2 160 sends a NAK signal to the master terminal 110 to request retransmission.

The master terminal 110 receiving the retransmission request retransmits the same data until the ACK signal is received (550). The master terminal 110 transmits the same data to the slave entities 1, 2, 3, and 4 (150 to 180). Slave entities 150-180 send ACK signals in turn.

The slave entities 150 to 180 generate a chord together with the ACK signal when receiving valid data.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the network using the wireless communication to allow children to cooperate to form a network to compete and play a game, and to use in education by generating chords using dolls and toys according to the result. A chord generating device and a method thereof in a toy can be provided.
