It characterized.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a conventional home entertainment device, which is equipped with an entertainment ROM pack 4 to be supplied with alternating current power, and is operated via a video signal generator 3 through a keypad operation of the keypad input unit 2. The entertainment program is executed on the TV receiver. Here, the above-mentioned problems are caused by the game machine being continuously executed without any control while the user plays the game.

2 is a view showing a home entertainment device of the present invention, the amusement machine 10 is supplied with AC power is one learning rompack (for problem or reward, 30) and the other entertainment rompack (new or old pack, 40 is mounted, the learning program and / or the entertainment program is executed on the TV receiver through the video signal generator 21 by the keypad operation of the keypad input unit 23 as in the conventional home entertainment device.

Here, the home entertainment machine 10 of the present invention does not execute the entertainment program when only one of the entertainment rompacks 40 is installed, and the learning rompack 30, that is, the learning rompack or the reward rompack must be equipped with the learning program or / And an entertainment program. Briefly describing the operation, when the entertainment rompack 40 is only installed, the screen displays the message "It does not operate without the learning rompack" and stops. When the rompack only the problem is installed in the learning rompack 30, the learning mode. The problem can be solved only by converting into a reward rompack, which is only compatible with the rompack 40 for entertainment, and converts to the entertainment mode to repeat the operation of the entertainment and rest. And when the problem-type rompack and the entertainment rompack 40 is equipped to repeat the learning and entertainment.

On the other hand, the learning rompack 30 is divided into problems and awards, the entertainment rompack 40 must be used with a problem or reward rompack. The award-winning rompack has the same identification number as the main body of the game machine so that it can be used only in one game machine. The problem rompack is made of a non-writable memory device that has different characteristics from the existing rompack. In this memory, parents can manage the learning status by writing and storing the learning results and the progress of each learning. It also allows you to program and use new learning content after learning is complete.

The entertainment information contained in the entertainment rompack (called the new pack) is configured differently from the existing rompack (called the old pack). The information contained in the entertainment rompack 40 is configured to call a specific program for each stage of the entertainment as compared to the existing rompack.

3 is a block diagram of a home entertainment device according to the present invention, in which the learning rompack (problem or reward, 30) is powered through the learning rompack connector 12 and the learning rompack buffer 13 while the power is applied. ) The entertainment loompack (new or old pack 40) is connected to the entertainment unit 10 via the entertainment loompack connector 14 and the entertainment loompack buffer 15. The learning ROM pack buffer 13 and the entertainment ROM pack buffer 15 are connected to a timer 19 and a CPU 11, respectively, and the CPU 11 is equipped with two ROM packs 30 and 40. (Determining problems or rewards and new or old packs), time information is obtained by interrupts from the timer 19, and entertainment and learning or recreation and rest operations are repeated, and various types of information inputted. Is stored in the memory unit 18 and controls the entire system. The timer 19 interrupts the CPU 11 at regular time periods so as to use time information. A joy stick and keys 16 for operating and operating the entertainment machine 10 are connected to the CPU 11 through a key input buffer 17 and further include a video signal generator 21 and a sound generator. 22 is connected to the TV receiver. The address decoder 20 decodes the address signal from the CPU 11 and generates an enable signal in the respective components 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, and 22. .

The operation of the home entertainment apparatus according to the present invention based on the above will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 to 9.

First, referring to FIG. 4, after the power is applied from the start signal and the entire system is reset, the learning ROM pack (problem or reward, 30) is mounted in the learning ROM pack connector 12 in step 101. If it is judged by the CPU 11, if it is not installed, the process proceeds to step 102, and a message is displayed on the screen (for example, "it does not operate without a learning ROM pack"), and then the process proceeds to step 103 and stops. And if so, proceed to step 104.

In step 104, the learning ROM pack 30 mounted by the CPU 11 determines whether it is a problem or a reward, and if it is a problem, the process proceeds to step 105. The process proceeds to step 201 of FIG. 5 in which only entertainment in accordance with the contents of the entertainment rompack 40 is repeated.

In step 105, the CPU 11 determines whether the entertainment ROM pack (new or old pack, 40) is mounted, and if it is installed, the amusement machine switches the mode for entertainment and executes the entertainment program of FIG. In step 501, if not mounted, the game machine proceeds to step 401 of FIG. 7 in which the game mode is changed to perform a learning program.

5 is a flow chart in the case where the award-winning rompack and the entertainment rompack (new or old pack) are mounted. In step 201, it is determined by the CPU 11 whether the entertainment rompack 40 is new. In the case of the new pack, the process proceeds to step 202, and in the case of the old pack, the process proceeds to the step 207 and step 208 to execute the entertainment program, which will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In step 202, " entertainment step = 1 " is set, and then step 203 is executed to execute the entertainment program of the designated entertainment step, and then step 204 is executed.

In step 204, it is determined by timer 19 and CPU 11 whether " RUN-TIME > T-PLAY ", and the entertainment execution time RUN-TIME is less than the designated available time T-PLAY of the amusement machine. If the RUN-TIME is greater than the T-PLAY, and if the RUN-TIME is greater than the T-PLAY, the operation proceeds to the step 205 and stops the operation by the designated break time T-REST, and then set to "RUN-TIME = 0" 206). In step 206, after setting "entertainment step = amusement step + 1", the process returns to step 203 to execute the entertainment program of the newly set entertainment step.

The new pack allows a special program (processing from step 202 to step 206 in FIG. 5) to be performed for each entertainment stage, where the entertainment stage can be defined as follows.

① The intermediate stage of change in entertainment (for example, when stage 1 changes to stage 2), ② When there is a change in the number of entertainments available (for example, for entertainment that starts with three fighters at first. When the platform is destroyed, ③ When the difficulty of entertainment changes (for example, when you pass through one path and rest before passing the next more difficult path), ④ During the entertainment, you or your opponent's figures, equipment, The entertainment phase may be divided into a case in which the entertainment is paused temporarily to change the status, the position, etc. (for example, in the case of martial arts entertainment, etc., the player wins the opponent and selects the other player again).

On the other hand, "RUN-TIME", "T-PLAY" and "T-REST" are variables, "RUN-TIME" is the first variable to "0", the value of the variable increases as the entertainment time elapses "T-PLAY" and "T-REST" are specific times.

As the first entertainment phase 1 (step 202) begins, the "RUN-TIME" variable is increased. The variables " T-PLAY " and " T-REST " of the specific time are set in the memory unit 18. For example, the variable " T-PLAY " If it is set to 10 minutes, the CPU 11 recognizes that the program of the entertainment stage 1 is completed, and compares the entertainment execution time " RUN-TIME " and the designated available time " T-PLAY " TIME "does not exceed 50 minutes, proceed to the entertainment stage 2, if 50 minutes is exceeded, the user stops the entertainment by" T-REST ", that is, 10 minutes, without moving on to the next stage. After 10 minutes, the game will return to its original position so that entertainment can resume from the next stage. This process is repeated for the duration of the entertainment and the "RUN-TIME" variable is set to "0" each time you rest.

In other words, when the award-winning ROM pack and the new pack are installed, the CPU 11 checks "RUN-TINIE> T-PLAY" at the time when each entertainment stage is completed, thereby allowing the user to repeat the entertainment and rest. It is possible to relax by enjoying the entertainment program without interruption of the program.

The flow chart of FIG. 6 is the same as the flow charts of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 described above. A flowchart for explaining that the repetitive operation of the rest is performed by a timer interrupt program executed in the CPU.

The game machine is powered on, receives a timer interrupt signal at regular T time intervals by the timer 19, and executes a timer interrupt program in the CPU 11 (step 301), and the CPU 11 is for learning (problem or Reward) Check that the ROMpack is mounted (step 302), unloaded and returning from the interrupt (same as step 309, steps 102 and 103 in FIG. 4), and if mounted, the CPU 11 It is determined whether or not the award-winning rompack (step 303), and if it is a problem rompack, the CPU 11 determines whether the entertainment rompack 40 is mounted (step 310), and if so, proceeds to step 601 of FIG. If not, it returns from the interrupt (same as the process from step 401 to step 411 of steps 311, 7 and 7a), and proceeds to step 304 if it is a reward rompack.

In step 304, a variable " RUN-TIME = RUN-TIME + 1 " is set and then step 305 is performed. In step 305, it is determined whether the entertainment ROMPAQ 40 is new, and if it is new, the process proceeds to step 308 and returns from the interrupt (steps 202 to 206 of FIG. 5). Same), if it is spherical, proceed to step 306.

In step 306, it is determined whether the variable "RUN-TIME" is greater than the variable "T-PLAY", and if "RUN-TIME" is small, the flow proceeds directly to the step 308, and if greater, the step 307 The operation proceeds to step 308 after stopping the operation by the variable "T-REST" (where RUN-TIME = 0).

Unlike the award-winning ROM packs and the linear packs described above with reference to FIG. 5, when the award-winning ROM packs and the old packs are installed, the CPU 11 does not check " RUN-TIME > T-PLAY " If the "RUN-TIME" proceeds for the specified time of the "T-PLAY" despite the entertainment program being progressed by the timer interrupt program of (11), the operation is stopped for the specified time of the "T-REST". The ability to repeat entertainment and rest is the same.

7 to 7a are flow charts when only the problem rompack is installed, and the contents of the problem rompack installed in step 401 in step 401 are described. And progress through the screen to step 402.

In step 402, the wrong number and the wrong number are set, but the initial value "0" is set to increase in order, and the process proceeds to step 403 to set the variable "question number = question number + 1" and then the step ( 404).

In step 404, it is determined whether all questions have been asked. If all questions have not been asked, the process proceeds to step 405, where the question is asked, and whether the answer is correct (step 406). Proceeding to step 408, if incorrect, proceeds to the next step 408, which is memorized by the variable " wrong number = wrong number + 1 ", where step 408 describes the result of the problem and then steps Proceeds to 409.

In step 409, it is determined whether the wrong number is less than the specified number P1. If the wrong number is small, the process proceeds to step 411. If all the questions are asked again, if not, the process returns to the step 403. The above steps are repeated. Even if the number is incorrect in step 409, the process returns to step 403 to repeat the steps.

Determining whether all the questions have been asked in step 404 is that all the questions have been asked, but if the wrong number is greater than the specified number P1 in step 409, the process proceeds to step 410 where new problems are solved. After the configuration (the problem number = 0, the wrong number = 0), the process returns to step 403 and repeats until the wrong number is less than the specified number P1.

Determining whether all the problems at step 411 have been questioned is terminated when all problems have been asked while the wrong number is less than the specified number P1.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing when the game machine is converted to the entertainment mode with a problem ROM pack and an entertainment ROM pack (new or old pack), and proceeds from step 105 of FIG. 4 to step 501. Before the entertainment program is started, the contents of the problem rompack are explained and the learning process is performed. In step 502, it is determined whether the problem is solved by the designated number of questions C1. If not, the process returns to the process 501 again. The learning process is progressed.

In the process of steps 501 and 502, as described above with reference to FIGS. 7 to 7a, if the user does not give the correct number of answers as specified by P1, learning continues. If it is determined in step 502 that the user has solved the problem by C1 and has performed a certain level of learning, the process proceeds to step 503 to perform the entertainment.

In step 503, it is determined whether the entertainment rompack is new, and if it is a new pack, the process proceeds to step 504, and if it is an old pack, the process proceeds to steps 511 and 512 to execute the entertainment program. It demonstrates in detail in FIG.

The process from step 504 to step 501 is similar to the process from step 202 to step 206 of FIG. 5 described above, and only in FIG. 5 (with a reward pack and new pack), In the case of RUN-TIME> T-PLAY ", take a break as much as" T-REST "and proceed to the next entertainment stage, whereas in FIG. 8 (with problem ROM and new pack)," RUN-TIME> T-PLAY " In case of "", the problem is solved as much as the designated problem number C2 (in this case, RUM-TIME = 0), and after performing the same process as in steps 501 and 502, the next entertainment step is performed.

That is, the repetition process of learning and entertainment proceeds unlike the repetition process of entertainment and rest in FIG.

FIG. 9 proceeds from the step 310 of FIG. 6 as part of the timer interrupt program of FIG. 6 described above, and in the case of the steps 511 and 512 of FIG. Flow chart for explaining that the repetition process of the game and entertainment is performed by the timer interrupt program executed in the CPU.

Checking the installation of the entertainment rompack from the step 310 proceeds to step 601. In step 601, after setting the variable "RUN-TIME = RUN-TIME + 1" to step 602 Proceed.

Since the steps 602 to 604 are the same as the steps 501 to 503 of FIG. 8 described above, description thereof is omitted.

In step 604, if the entertainment rompack is new, proceed to step 607 to return from the interrupt (same as the process from step 504 to step 510 in FIG. 8); Proceeds to). In step 605, it is determined whether " RUN-TIME > T-PLAY ", or otherwise, the flow advances to step 607, and the process returns from the interrupt to continue the entertainment program, and if " RUN-TIME " As many questions as possible (at this time, RUN-TIME = 0), go through steps as described in steps 501 and 502, and then proceed to step 607 to execute the entertainment program.

Just as the problem rompacks and the new packs are equipped, the problem rompacks and the old packs are equipped with a repeating process of entertainment and learning.

As described above, the home entertainment apparatus added with the learning function according to the present invention is equipped with a learning rompack (for problems or rewards) and an entertainment rompack (new or old pack). By configuring the program not to run, you can enjoy the entertainment after learning to some extent, so that you can buy the slow learning due to the entertainment, and when the new or old pack is equipped with the entertainment rompack and the problem rompack, the learning and the entertainment When the repetition is performed and the new or old packs of the entertainment rompack and the reward rompack are repeatedly performed, recreation and rest can be performed to prevent side effects such as photosensitivity seizures due to prolonged entertainment.
