Description

Temple fortune-telling device

The invention relates to a fortune-telling device, in particular to a temple fortune-telling device.

A conventional fortune-telling device is installed in a temple. The fortune-telling device includes a fortune-telling tube equipped with a plurality of fortune-telling sticks, a set of divination cups, and a plurality of fortune-telling poems corresponding to the fortune-telling sticks and stored in a plurality of fortune-telling cabinets. When a user asks for a fortune, he must first silently recite his basic personal information and the question he wants to ask, and then cast the divination blocks to confirm whether the god allows him to ask for a fortune. If a sacred divination block is cast, one of the fortune-telling sticks is drawn from the fortune-telling tube. If three sacred divination blocks are cast continuously, it is judged that the fortune-telling stick is given to the user by the god. If three sacred divination blocks are not cast continuously, other fortune-telling sticks are drawn from the remaining fortune-telling sticks and the casting of divination blocks is continued until three sacred divination blocks are cast continuously. Finally, the user can find the corresponding lottery box according to the number on the lottery stick, take out the lottery poem, and answer the question according to the content of the lottery poem.

However, due to the large number of such fortune-telling poems, users need to spend time to confirm the corresponding fortune-telling box after getting the fortune-telling poems. After getting the fortune-telling poems, if they want to understand the further meaning of the fortune-telling poems, they still need to ask the temple staff to interpret the fortune-telling poems. When there are many people asking for fortune-telling poems, they will have to queue up and wait, which is quite inconvenient. In addition, since multiple fortune-telling poems need to be printed in advance and placed in such fortune-telling boxes, such fortune-telling boxes and the stored fortune-telling poems not only take up space in the temple, but also waste paper. In addition, it is necessary to rely on manpower to confirm whether the fortune-telling poems in each fortune-telling box need to be replenished one by one, and the maintenance time and cost are quite high.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a temple fortune-telling device that can improve at least one of the above-mentioned shortcomings.

Therefore, the novel temple fortune-telling device includes a body, a processing unit, a storage unit, an interface unit, a fortune-telling unit, and a lottery unit.

The processing unit is arranged on the body. The storage unit is arranged on the body and electrically connected to the processing unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of fortune-telling poem data. Each of the fortune-telling poem data includes a fortune-telling poem number and a poem content. The interface unit is arranged on the body and electrically connected to the processing unit. The lottery-dispensing unit is arranged on the body and electrically connected to the processing unit, and the lottery-dispensing unit includes a lottery-dispensing port. The lottery-drawing unit is arranged on the body, and the lottery-drawing unit includes a pair of divination cups arranged on the body, and a plurality of physical lots corresponding to the fortune-telling poem data respectively. Each of the physical lots is provided with an identification element corresponding to the respective fortune-telling poem data, and the interface unit can be operated to display a lottery-printing option. When the print ticket option is selected, the processing unit causes the ticket output unit to print the poem content corresponding to one of the ticket poem data on a ticket paper and output the ticket paper from the ticket output port.

The utility model has the advantages of eliminating the need for fortune-telling cabinets and a large number of fortune-telling papers, reducing maintenance time and labor costs. After the user casts the fortune-telling cup, the fortune-telling poem data can be directly printed out through the fortune-telling unit, saving the time of searching for fortune-telling papers and obtaining the answer to the question as quickly as possible.

Alternatively, the user may choose not to log in and directly click on the option to take and interpret the lot, the option to cast the divination blocks and the option to draw the money hexagram to perform other operations.

If the user does not log in and directly asks for a fortune, he can first silently recite his basic personal information and the question he wants to ask, and then toss the divination cup 61 to confirm whether the god allows the fortune. If a sacred divination is thrown out, one of the physical lots 63 is drawn. Then continue to toss the divination. If three sacred divinations are thrown out in succession, it is determined that one of the physical lots 63 is the lot given to the user by the god.

Referring to FIG. 1 , and FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 , after obtaining a lottery ticket, the user can click on the lottery ticket extraction and interpretation option to extract the lottery ticket (see FIG. 3 ). After the lottery ticket extraction and interpretation option is clicked, the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display an input screen (see FIG. 4 ), and the user can input the corresponding lottery ticket poem number according to the identification element 631 on one of the physical lottery tickets 63 .

Alternatively, each identification element 631 may also be a two-dimensional barcode, and the sensor 64 is a two-dimensional barcode reader.

In order to avoid the hygiene problems caused by sharing the divination cup 61 with others or to simplify the divination process, the user can also use this embodiment to perform virtual divination. The operation process is described as follows.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 , and FIG. 7 , after the user clicks the divination block option, the interface unit 4 displays a divination block option, and the text displayed in the divination block option is "Drawing the Divine Cubes". When the divination block option is clicked, the processing unit 2 generates a confirmed lottery result. When the processing unit 2 determines that the confirmed lottery result is a sacred divination block, the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display an animation and instruction text to instruct the user to start drawing the divination block.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 , and FIG. 8 , after the user draws out one of the physical lot 63 and inputs the lot number corresponding to the physical lot 63 in the interface unit 4 , the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display a divination block option and instruction text to instruct the user to divination block.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 9 , when the divination block option is selected, the processing unit 2 generates a confirmed divination block result. The processing unit 2 determines that the confirmed divination block result is the first sacred divination block and causes the interface unit 4 to display a divination block option and instruction text to instruct the user to continue divination block.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 10 , when the divination block option is selected, the processing unit 2 generates a confirmed divination block result. The processing unit 2 determines that the confirmed divination block result is the second consecutive divination block and causes the interface unit 4 to display a divination block option and instruction text to instruct the user to continue divination block.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 11 , when the divination option is selected, the processing unit 2 generates a confirmed lottery result. When the processing unit 2 determines that the confirmed lottery result is the third consecutive divination, and determines that the confirmed lottery result meets a lottery condition, the interface unit 4 displays the lottery print option. The user can then click the lottery print option to print the corresponding lottery poem data.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 , and FIG. 12 , if the user seeks a fortune after logging in, the user clicks the option of casting a fortune and casts the sacred divination block, and the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display a fortune-seeking option (see FIG. 12 ), and the text displayed in the fortune-seeking option is “Seek a fortune”. When the fortune-seeking option is clicked, the processing unit 2 generates a designated lottery number according to the personal information and causes the interface unit 4 to display the designated lottery number and a casting a fortune option (similar to FIG. 8 ), and then the user can cast a fortune in the interface unit 4. In this embodiment, the designated lottery number is a random number generated by a SecureRandom method using an eight-character parameter converted from the birth time in the personal information as a random number seed.

The conversion method of the eight-character parameter is as follows. If the birth time is 02:00 on January 1, 2000, then the lunar birth time is the 25th day of the 11th month of the year of Jimao, and the eight-character birth time can be divided into four groups of heavenly stems and earthly branches according to the year, month, day, and time, and written together as Jimao, Bingzi, Wuwu, and Guichou. The four groups of heavenly stems and earthly branches correspond to numbers from 1 to 60 in calendar order, Jimao corresponds to 16, Bingzi corresponds to 13, Wuwu corresponds to 55, and Guichou corresponds to 50. Therefore, the eight-character parameters are the four numbers 16, 13, 55, and 50 corresponding to the year, month, day, and time of birth. If the birth time only includes the year, month and day of birth but does not include the time of birth, the converted eight-character parameter will only include three numbers 16, 13, and 55 corresponding to the year, month and day of birth respectively.

The user can also use this embodiment to ask for money divination, and the operation process is described as follows.

Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 13, when the user clicks on the Qian Gua fortune-telling option, the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display instruction text to instruct the user to put their hands together and silently recite the fortune-telling text, and causes the interface unit 4 to display a fortune-telling option, and the text displayed on the fortune-telling option is "After silent prayer, start fortune-telling."

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 14 , and FIG. 15 , after the user clicks the lottery option, the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display a money lottery screen and a plurality of coin options (see FIG. 14 ). Each of the coin options randomly corresponds to one of the lottery verse numbers. When the user clicks one of the coin options, the processing unit 2 causes the interface unit 4 to display the lottery verse number corresponding to the one of the coin options, and a lottery print option (see FIG. 15 ). The user can also print out a lottery paper with the lottery verse data corresponding to the lottery verse number by clicking the lottery print option.

In summary, the new temple fortune-telling device saves fortune-telling cabinet facilities and a large number of fortune-telling papers, reduces maintenance time and labor costs. After the user throws the divination cup 61 to ask for fortune, the fortune-telling poem data can be directly printed out through the fortune-telling unit 5, saving the time of looking for fortune-telling papers and obtaining the answer to the question as quickly as possible, so the purpose of the new device can be achieved.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it cannot be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present patent.
