Dice game machine is to enjoy the various games or provide goods according to the surface state of the seated dice after the air rise by the physical force, utility model registration No. 218954 and drafted and registered by the applicant of the present invention It is generalized by Utility Model Registration No. 232609.

The above-mentioned dice game machine by levitation of the dice seated within a certain period by the solenoid instantaneously, and then detects the surface of the dice to be seated by the detection means to output it by

, The intended prize is paid by a combination of numbers, letters, figures, etc., on the surface of the die.

Such a game machine for dice is very speedy, but there is little concern for the operator's operation, so that the gamers' reliability is very high and it is interesting.

In producing various game automation mechanisms using such dice, a means for detecting a dice surface is indispensable.

The surface detection means has been proposed a variety of methods using a magnet, magnetized tape or electric force, but such a known detection means and detection method has a limiting factor that the seating position of the dice must always be constant, the landed dice If the seating position is unstable or unstable, the reading of the dice surface is difficult and complicated, and the recognition rate is very low, and the reading is sometimes impossible.

In addition, there is a radio transceiver built-in method to improve this, but there is a fear of errors and external operation due to mutual interference.

In addition, since the internal structure of the dice and the seating case has a limitation, the size and shape of the dice have been greatly limited, and there have been many structural difficulties in making the application device.

The present invention has been devised to eliminate the problems described above, and has a matrix structure having an x-axis and a y-axis like the structure of a memory (ROM, RAM) by closely placing a reaction element that reads an electromagnetic force on a bottom surface on which a dice is placed. By preparing a sensor board and using it as a seating point for dice,

The sensor board of the matrix structure detects and coordinates the electromagnetic force of the dice surface at any place of the dice, so that the surface of the dice can be recognized, enabling stable surface detection regardless of the dice seating position. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dice surface detection method for a dice game machine and a dice game machine using the same that can be produced and disseminated more various types of game machines.

First, the die surface detection method using the matrix sensor board,

In the dice game machine that recognizes each surface of the dice providing different types of electromagnetic force by a separate recognition means to provide a product according to the output combination and the resulting combination of the dice surface,

At the point where the die is seated, a plurality of reaction elements are arranged in a matrix structure of xy coordinates, and the reaction elements of the matrix structure respond to each other by the electromagnetic force of the seated dice surface. It is to be recognized and printed on the dice surface.

In addition, the method of applying the coil which reacts with the above-mentioned x-y-coordinate matrix structure reaction element by an electromagnetic force,

Instead of the coil described above, a reed switch or a hall element reacting by an electromagnetic force may be used.

Using this die surface detection method, it is possible to vary the mechanical design,

For example, a plurality of reaction elements (1) (1 ') forms a disk-shaped sensor board (2) having a matrix structure of xy coordinates, and the gear (3) on the outer peripheral surface of the disk-shaped sensor board (2) By forming it to be rotated by a separate drive motor (4), by forming a transparent protective window (5) on the top of the sensor board (2),

After the die 10 on the sensor board 2 is raised to the air by the high speed rotation of the drive motor 4, the surface of the falling dice to be detected and recognized through the sensor board 2,

By temporarily lifting the entire sensor board 2 by the solenoid (6), at the same time the game machine can be manufactured in a structure that reads the changed dice surface while the raised dice 10 are seated,

In the case of a die by the free fall of the inclined surface of the induction port (7), the sensor board (2) can be located at the seating point to thereby recognize the die surface.

The game device having such a configuration may be used in a general dice game machine 100 equipped with a coin, a button, a product output device, and a display.

Operation of the present invention dice game machine by the above method will be described in more detail by the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the reaction element 1 (1 ′) reacting by electromagnetic force is configured as a matrix circuit having x and y axes, dice placed on a surface with magnets embedded therein Since the reactive element at the corresponding point is caused to respond to the electromagnetic force by the surface magnetic force of, the surface position of the die whose magnetic force is captured by the reactive element (1) (1 ') can be known.

If a magnetic force is placed at a point, the switch at that point will have more than one reacting colony, and if you coordinate it, (3,4), (3,3), (4,4) Will be.

Therefore, the reaction of the colony may be regarded as one signal.

That is, the magnetic force installed on the surface of the dice for reading the dice will have a certain distance between the two magnets for smooth reading, and assuming that there is more than one electromagnetic force placed in the matrix circuit, the distance between the reacted colony and another reaction colony By programming this algorithm, we can easily distinguish between components or forms of magnetic forces located at different points.

As the reactive element, a coil, a reed switch, or a hall element, etc., reacting with electromagnetic force may be used. The sensor board may also embed a coil body, a reed switch, or a Hall element, which is electrically embedded in or on a substrate. It is good to make mass production in circuit.

The reaction element may be a coil effect, a contact effect, a hall effect, or the like that reacts with electromagnetic force. The sensor board may also embed a coil body, a reed switch, or a Hall element, etc., in or on a substrate. It can also be beneficial for mass production in matrix circuits.

In addition, since the detection method as described above is able to escape the design constraints that are very limited in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 5A, the sensor board 2 incorporating a plurality of reaction elements 1, 1 ′. ) Is formed in a disk shape, and the gear 3 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the sensor board 2 and engaged with the separate driving motor 4, thereby allowing the above-described sensor board to be rotated by the high speed rotation of the driving motor 4. Since 2) is rotated at the same time, the dice 10 in the upper portion of the sensor board 2 is to be instantaneously rotated and raised by inertia.

Therefore, when the rotation of the sensor board 2 stops and the dice are seated, the dice surface may be detected and applied to the game.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5b by connecting the lower end of the solenoid (6) to the lower surface of the sensor board (2), the sensor board (2) is raised by the momentary synergism of the solenoid (6), After allowing the dice 10 to float in the air, it is also possible to detect and apply the dropped dice surface,

As shown in FIG. 5C, the sensor board 2 is positioned at the falling point of the dice 10 falling freely by the guide hole 7 to detect the surface of the seated dice 10 and apply them to the game. It can be.

As described above, the matrix circuit arrangement method of the electromagnetic reaction element is completely useful in making an application automation game device because the drawback that the dice should always be placed at the same seat point is completely overcome and the error rate is greatly improved and thus has excellent scalability. Compared to the dice game machine, the design of the case and the internal and external structures can be changed, making it easy to manufacture various game machines.

In addition, it is easy to develop small quantities of small items, and the low cost of mass production is a big advantage.

Dice surface detection method and the dice game device using the present invention as described above can detect the surface of the dice by detecting and coordinate the electromagnetic force of the surface of the dice anywhere by the sensor board of the matrix structure, the dice surface position, It is possible to detect a stable surface irrespective of the limitations, and there is almost no conventional mechanical constraints, and thus, it is possible to manufacture and disseminate various types of game machines at low cost.
