Abstract

A shooting game device capable of causing a user to feel that shooting has hit a target and being played for a longer time than the conventional device. Shooting time counting means (37) counts the time required for shooting, i.e., from the moment when shooting timing generation means (43) displays a shooting timing to the moment when a beam is applied to a photo sensor (PS). According to the shooting time counted by the shooting time counting means (37), play result judgment instruction means (39) judges the play result and outputs various operation instructions. A target includes a displacement mechanism (20) having a displacement member which is displaced from a first state to a second state upon reception of the operation instruction and acoustic indication means (13, 15, 23) indicating the result of shooting by a sound effect. When the target is hit, the play result judgment instruction means (39) simultaneously operates the displacement mechanism (20) and the acoustic indication means and outputs an operation signal so that the acoustic indication means adjusts the intensity of the sound effect according to the length of the shooting time.

The shooting game device of the present invention includes a target having one or more light receiving units, and one or more light guns for emitting light beams for irradiating the one or more light receiving units. Then, the target includes: a shooting timing generating means for displaying a shooting timing; a shooting hit determining means for determining a result of the shooting based on a light receiving signal from the light receiving section; and a shooting evening generating means for displaying the shooting timing. Shooting time counting means that counts the time required for shooting from when the light hits the light-receiving part, and play results that determine the play result based on the shooting time counted by the shooting time counting means and output various operation commands It is provided with a determination command means, a displacement mechanism having a displacement member that is displaced from the first state to the second state in response to the operation command, and a display means for displaying a result of the shooting. The display means includes sound display means for displaying a result of the shooting by sound effect. The play result determination command means includes: a displacement mechanism and an acoustic display means when the shooting hit determination means determines that the shot is hit; Are operated together, and the sound display means outputs an operation signal such that the sound effect is increased or decreased in accordance with the length of the required shooting time. In this way, the player can not only feel the time required for shooting with sound effects, but also can visually recognize that the shooting has been hit, thereby increasing the player's interest in the game more than before. Further, it is possible to provide a shooting game device that does not make the player tired for a long period of time.

In addition, the play result determining means adds sound intensity to the sound display means according to the length of the shooting time until the shooting hit determining means determines n (n is a positive integer) hits. When the result of shooting is displayed and the shooting hit determination means determines n + 1 hits, the displacement mechanism and the sound display means are operated together, and the sound is displayed according to the length of time required for shooting. An operation signal that displays the result of shooting by adding strength to sound effects to the means It can be configured to output. In this way, the displacement mechanism cannot be operated within a short time unless the firing technique is improved. As a result, the game becomes more sophisticated and motivates the players to practice. When a plurality of players compete using two or more ray guns, the shooting hit determination means determines which of the two or more ray guns has hit the light receiving unit and determines whether the light hits the light receiving part. Has the function of specifying the ray gun that fired the. In this case, the play result judging means first determines that the shooting hit judging means determines n (n is a positive integer) hits by shooting using any one of the two or more ray guns. Outputs an operation command to cause the sound display means to display the result of the shooting by adding strength or weakness to the sound effect according to the length of the required shooting time. Further, the play result determining means, when the shooting hit determining means determines n + 1 hits by one light gun, operates the displacement mechanism and the sound display means together, and the sound display means Display n + 1 hits with loud sound effects. In this way, not only can multiple players compete for the required shooting time and the shooting technique, but also which can be hit a predetermined number of times faster, making the player more exciting than before. it can. In any of the above cases, if the volume of the sound effect is increased as the time required for shooting is shorter, the player can feel that the technique has been improved by sound. Can be excited. Further, it is preferable that the displacement member of the displacement mechanism is configured so that an object can be placed thereon. In this case, the displacement mechanism is configured to cause the object to jump up in a direction away from the player when the displacement member is displaced from the first state to the second state. In this way, the figurine that jumps up does not fly to the player side, so that the player can play safely.

In addition, when a hit is confirmed before the shooting timing is displayed, and when a predetermined number of shots cannot be hit within a predetermined time after the start, a warning is displayed and an error is displayed after an error is displayed. Preferably, means are provided. In this way, fairness can be maintained, and the result of the game can be given sufficient reliability.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of a shooting game device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

. FIGS. 1A and 1B are a plan view and a front view, respectively, of an example of a target 1 used in the present embodiment. FIGS. 2A and 2B are views of the target 1 described later. It is the partially omitted front view and right side view of the state where the displacement mechanism operated and the lid member was opened. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the internal structure of the target 1. As shown in FIG. In these figures, the target 1 is composed of a box-shaped target body 3 having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid member 5 for closing the opening of the target body 3. The lid member 5 is usually called a “tray”, and its upper surface is formed in a flat plate shape so that objects such as cans can be placed thereon. In this example, a slip stopper 6 composed of a plurality of concentric annular protrusions is formed on the upper surface of the lid member 5 in order to prevent the ornament from sliding down.

On the front 3a of the evening get main body 3, a player number selection switch SW1 for determining the number of power switches and players, and a game selection switch SW2 for selecting a game type are provided to be operable from the front. ing. In the state shown in the figure, the knob N1 of the switch SW1 is in the position "1P" on the left side, and the single play mode is selected. When knob N 1 is in the center position, the power is off. When the knob N1 is at the position "2P" on the right, two-player play is selected. The selection switch SW 2 is a switch called a game selection switch for selecting a game type. When the knob N 2 is at the “S short” position on the left side as shown in the figure, the game is completed in a short time. Is selected, and when knob N2 is in the “Long” position on the right, a game that ends a little longer is selected. In this embodiment, four kinds of game control modes can be selected by selecting these selection switches.

In addition, a start button 7 of a start switch SW3 described later, which is a push-type switch pressed at the start, is provided on the front 3a so as to be operable from the front 3a side. At the center of the front 3a, a counting time display section 9 which is covered with a light-transmitting cover and has three 7-segment display elements inside, and displays the counting time by a numeral. Is provided. A window 11 having optical transparency is provided on the counting time display section 9. The interior of this window 11 is shown in Fig. 3. As described above, the light receiving section PS for outputting an electric signal when receiving the light beam emitted from the light gun is arranged. Also, on both sides of the light receiving section PS, three light emitting diode LEDs 1 that emit green light and three light emitting diode LEDs 2 that emit red light are arranged. On both sides 3 b and 3 c of the target body 3, a pair of speakers 13 and 15 are provided with sound emitting sections.

As shown in FIG. 3, inside the target body 3, a spring member of a displacement mechanism 20 (see FIG. 5) for generating a driving force when the lid member 5 as a displacement member is flipped up is stored. A motor M as a driving source is arranged. FIG. 3 does not show details of the displacement mechanism 20 that stores a force for flipping up the lid member 5 using the rotational force of the motor M. As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the displacement mechanism 20 starts moving from a state where the cover member 5 is in a position to close the opening of the evening get body 3 (first state), as shown in FIG. The cover member 5 is displaced in a relatively short time until 5 is opened (second state). Specifically, the displacement mechanism 20 includes a spring member that is charged by rotation of a motor M that rotates for a predetermined time from the start, a charged state holding structure that holds the charged state of the spring member until triggered, and A trigger release mechanism for releasing the trigger of the energy storage state holding mechanism. In addition, what is necessary is just to use the thing of a well-known structure as the structure of such a displacement mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 3, a control circuit board 17 is arranged inside the target 1. On the control circuit board 17, a motor drive circuit 19 (see FIG. 5) for driving the motor M is mounted. A trigger mechanism drive circuit such as an electromagnetic switch for driving the trigger mechanism of the displacement mechanism 20 is also mounted on the control circuit board 17. Further, on the control circuit board 17, a light receiving section PS having an infrared light receiving element whose output level changes according to the wavelength when infrared light is received is mounted. The light receiving section PS is located at the center of the window section 11, and is arranged so as to receive a light beam when shot from the front surface 3a of the target main body 3 with a ray gun described later. The light emitting diode drive circuit 21 (see FIG. 5) for driving the light emitting diodes LED 1 and LED 2 is also mounted on the control circuit board 17. An acoustic display means driving circuit 23 (see FIG. 5) for driving the speakers 13 and 15 is also mounted on the control circuit board 17. In this example, the speakers 13 and 15 and the sound display means drive circuit 23 constitutes an acoustic display means. Further, a controller 31 (see FIG. 5), which includes a microcomputer described later as a main component, is also mounted on the control circuit board 17. Also, on the control circuit board 17, a segment drive circuit 25 (see FIG. 5) for driving a number segment 27 including three 7-segment display elements included in the counting time display section 9 is mounted. Note that what is indicated by BS is a DC power supply composed of two batteries connected in series.

Fig. 4 (A) shows a light gun that emits infrared light as a light beam that strikes the aforementioned light-receiving unit PS.

30 shows the appearance. The light gun 30 is a light gun that can be used when two players play, and includes a switch SW11 for turning on and off a power supply, a wavelength switching switch SW12 for changing a wavelength of a light beam to be emitted, And a switch SW13 for determining the number of times. When the switch SW12 is switched to the “G” side or the “R” side, the wavelength (frequency) of the emitted infrared light changes as shown in the enlarged view in Fig. 4 (B). Pressing switch SW13 once limits the number of bullets (light rays) that can be fired in one play. When the switch 30 is turned on and the trigger 30a is pulled once, infrared rays of a predetermined wavelength are emitted from the light emitting unit 30b of the light gun 30 for a predetermined time. Although not shown, a variable light emitting device that changes the wavelength of a light beam according to the switching of the wavelength switching switch SW12 is provided inside the light gun 30. In this example, two light sources which generate two kinds of light beams having different wavelengths are prepared, and the light source is selected by operating the wavelength switching switch SW12.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control circuit of the target 1 centering on a controller 31 formed on a control circuit board 17 inside the target 1. In this example, the controller 31 includes an operation command generation unit 33 (including a shooting hit determination unit 35, a shooting time counting unit 37, and a play result determination command unit 39), a driving operation command generation unit 41, The shooting timing generating means 43, the control mode selecting means 45, the control mode storing means 47, the timer 49, and the error determining means 51 are provided. The main part of the controller 31 is composed of a microcomputer and its peripheral devices (ROM, RAM, etc.). In FIG. 5, IP is an input port, and OP is an output port. The operation command generating means 33 outputs various operation commands based on the determination result of the shooting hit determination means 35 for determining the result of the shooting based on the light receiving signal from the light receiving section PS. The shooting hit determination means 35 determines the presence or absence of a hit based on a change in the signal level output from the light receiving unit PS. The shooting hit determination means 35 changes the determination operation according to a control mode described later. For example, if the two-player play control mode in which two players shoot is selected, the difference in the type of light (wavelength or frequency) emitted from the light gun used by the two players is determined. After that, it is determined whether or not each player has hit a fire. Then, the judgment result is sent to the play result judgment command means 39 to make the light emitting diode LED 1 or LED 2 emit light or blink, thereby displaying the hit player.

The drive operation command generating means 41 outputs a drive command to the motor drive circuit 19 for a fixed time when the start button 7 of the start switch SW 3 is pressed, and rotates the motor M for a fixed time. By this rotation, a panel member as a force generating source included in the displacement mechanism 20 is charged, provided that the lid member 5 is closed. The control mode selection means 45 selects one control mode from the four control modes by switching the switches SW1 and SW2 from the control mode storage means 47 for storing a plurality of control modes, and issues an operation command. The operation contents of the generating means 33, the drive operation command generating means 41, the shooting timing generating means 43, and the error determining means 51 are set. The actual plurality of control modes are stored in advance in the ROM as programs. The timer 149 is used for counting all times in the operation in the controller 31.

The shooting time counting means 37 counts the time from when the shooting timing generating means 43 generates the shooting timing to when the shooting hit determination means 35 determines the hitting of the shooting, and the play result determination instruction means 3 Output to 9. The play result determination command means 39 outputs various operation commands according to the selected control mode. The various operation commands include an operation command for causing the two light emitting diodes to emit light based on the determination result as a light emitting display unit, an operation command for displaying the determination result output from the speakers 13 and 15 as an acoustic command, and a numeral. This is an operation command or the like for displaying the time counted by the shooting time counting means 37 in the segment.

The shooting timing generation means 4 3 uses the shooting timing as two light emission display means The light emitting diodes LED 1 and LED 2 emit light to indicate to the player. The display of the shooting timing is to notify the player of the starting timing of the shooting. The shooting timing generating means 43 is configured to change the shooting timing according to the selected control mode. Therefore, after the start switch SW3 is turned on, the shooting timing generation means 43 blinks the light emitting diodes LED1 and LED2 according to the selected control mode until one play ends. Display the shooting timing to the player. It is needless to say that the shooting timing may be changed in accordance with the hit judgment result of the shooting hit judgment means 35. In this embodiment, the shooting timing generating means 43 displays the shooting timing by combining the blinking of the two types of light emitting diodes LED1 and LED2.

The error judging means 51 displays an error after displaying a warning when a hit is confirmed before the shooting timing is displayed, and when a hit of a predetermined number of times cannot be confirmed within a predetermined time after the start. It is configured to be.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a setting procedure of the evening get 1 and the light gun 30 in the preparation stage when the game is advanced in the short play time single-player control mode. FIG. 7 shows a program algorithm when the one-player control mode is realized by a program. First, in step S1 of FIG. 6, it is decided to play this game. Next, setting of target 1 is started (step S2). First, in step 3, the switch SW1 serving as a power switch and a switch for selecting the number of players provided on the front surface 3a of the target main body 3 shown in FIG. 1 (B) is switched to the "1P" side for playing alone. Next, in step S4, the game selection switch SW2 called the mode switch is switched to the "Short" side to select "GAME 1". This completes the target 1 switch setting (steps S2 to S4), and places the target on the installation surface. Next, the setting of the light gun 30 is started. First, switch on the power switch SW11 in Fig. 4 to “On” to turn on the power (step S6). Next, in step S7, the wavelength of the light beam is selected. In this case, switch SW12 is switched to “G” side. This completes the setting of the light gun switch (step S8). The above procedure is an example. In practice, even if the order of each procedure changes, it is sufficient that each switch is finally set as shown in FIG. Therefore light The setting of the switch of the line gun may be performed before the setting of the switch of the target. With the settings shown in Fig. 6, the time when the light emitting diode LED 1 that emits green light starts to emit light is the start time of the shooting timing.

The flowchart of FIG. 7 will be described. First, in step ST1, it is confirmed whether or not the start button 7 has been pressed. When the start button 7 is pressed, the timer 1 49 starts counting down for an hour, and at the same time, the firing timing generating means 43 starts preparing for displaying the firing timing. At this time, since the lid member is closed, it is assumed that the spring member of the displacement mechanism 20 is already in the state of being charged. This countdown is used to count time-overs and to determine if a shot is hit. Then, in step ST3, it is determined whether or not the shooting has been performed before the shooting timing is displayed. This determination is made based on whether or not a signal having the same level as an electric signal called an evening get signal output from the light receiving unit PS at the time of a hit is output. If a hit is determined at this stage, the process proceeds to step ST4, and a display warning that flying is given is displayed. This tendency is the same as blinking the red light-emitting diode LED2, and a sound or voice indicates that flying is performed from the speakers 13 and 15. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step ST13, and returns to step ST1 via step ST14 when the lid member 5 called a tray is returned. In the following description of the flowchart, the lid member is referred to as a “tray”. When the lid member 5 is returned to the original position, an operation command is input to the motor drive circuit 19 in step ST 14, and the motor M rotates for a predetermined number of seconds and the panel member in the displacement mechanism 20 is rotated. An energy storage operation is performed.

If there is no flying, proceed to step ST5. At the same time that the green light emitting diode LED 1 emits light (lights up), a start sound is output from the speakers 13 and 15, and the shooting timing is displayed. The execution time of this step ST5 is determined by the control mode. The control mode is set so that the number of seconds after the timer starts counting down beforehand is displayed, or the waiting time is determined at random. . The shooting time counting means 37 counts the time (shooting required time) from when the shooting timing generating means 43 outputs the shooting timing to when the shooting hit judging means 35 judges the shooting hit. And When the shooting hit determination means 35 determines that the shooting has actually been performed, the play result determination command means 39 determines the result of the shooting in steps ST6, ST8 and ST10 according to the required shooting time. If the required firing time is “longer than 0 second and shorter than 1 second (0 to 1 second)”, go to step ST7. In step ST7, at the same time as displaying the time required for shooting (measurement time), the lid member (tray) is flipped up to indicate that the shooting technique is excellent (advanced level). At the same time as performing the operation (indicated as “tray pop-up” in the flowchart), the speakers 13 and 15 generate sound effects with a loud explosion. The count time display, tray pop-up, and large explosion sound are generated when the operation command from the play result determination command means 39 is transmitted to the segment drive circuit 25, the trigger mechanism of the displacement mechanism 20, and the sound display means drive circuit 23. Be executed. After that, the process returns to step ST1 via step ST13 and step ST14. 'If it is determined in step ST8 that the required shooting time is "1 second or more and less than 2 seconds (1-2 seconds)", the process proceeds to step ST9. In step ST9, the time required for shooting (measurement time) is displayed, and simultaneously, the lid member (tray) is flipped up to indicate that the shooting technique is at an intermediate level (in the flowchart, " Tray pop-up ”is displayed), and at the same time, a medium-bomb sound effect sound is generated from the speakers 13 and 15. Thereafter, the process returns to step ST1 via step ST13 and step ST14.

If it is determined in step ST10 that the required shooting time is "2 seconds or more and shorter than 10 seconds (2 to 10 seconds)", the process proceeds to step ST11. In step ST 11, the time required for shooting (measurement time) is displayed, and at the same time, the operation of raising the lid member (tray) (flowchart) is performed to indicate that the shooting technique is at a beginner level. At the same time, a sound effect of a small explosion is generated from the speakers 13 and 15. After that, the process returns to step ST1 via step ST13 and step ST14. Thereafter, each time the button is pressed, the above steps are repeated.

If a hit does not occur before a predetermined time, for example, 45 seconds, has elapsed from the start of the countdown, it is determined that the time is over (step ST12). Thyme When it is determined that the bar is detected, a warning sound is emitted as an error indication and the red light emitting diode LED 2 flashes simultaneously.

According to this game, an explosive sound is generated at the same time as the detection of a shooting hit, so that an exciting game can be provided. In particular, the size of the explosion sound is changed according to the length of time required for shooting, so that you can feel the process of shortening the time required for shooting (the process of improving your technique).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a setting procedure of the evening get 1 and the light gun 30 in the preparation stage when the game is advanced in the two-player control mode which is completed in a short time. The difference from the procedure in FIG. 6 is that in step S 3 ′, the switch SW1 serving as the target power switch and the switch for selecting the number of players is switched to the “2P” side where two players play, and the light gun 30 In the setting, an operation of switching the switches SW12 of the two light guns to the "G" side and the "R" side, respectively, is performed (steps S7a to S7c). Since there is no difference in other points, the description is omitted. The flowchart of FIG. 9 showing the algorithm of the control mode program is different from the flowchart of FIG. 7 in the following points. First, when flying, the LED 1 or LED 2 of the color corresponding to the light beam (G or R) used by the flying player blinks to identify the offending player (Step Step S T4 '). In the display of the shooting timing, both the two light emitting diodes LED 1 and LED 2 are turned on (step ST 5 ′). Also, it is determined which of the two players has hit, and the player that has hit ( The winner is indicated by turning on the light-emitting diode LED 1 or LED 2 (steps ST71, ST9 ', ST11'). Further, in the error display at the time bar, the two light emitting diodes LED1 and LED2 are blinked (step ST122). Other points are the same. In this way, even when two players play, it is easy to determine whether or not they have hit by their own fire, and the game can proceed smoothly.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a setting procedure when a game (GAME2) in the single-player control mode, which can be enjoyed for a relatively long time, is performed. The difference from the procedure in FIG. 6 is that in step S104, the switch SW2 is switched to the “Long” side and the “GA ME2 ”is selected, and the other points are the same as the procedure in Fig. 7. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the algorithm of the program in the single play control mode. A feature of this game is that you can only tray-pop up after hitting 4 times. Steps ST101 to ST11 are substantially the same as steps ST1 to ST12 in FIG. The difference is that in step ST107, step ST109, and step ST111, the hit is displayed only by the explosion sound without performing the tray pop-up. Until hit four times, the process returns from step ST113 to step ST102. Therefore, the countdown restarts with each hit.

After four hits, the process proceeds from step ST113 to step ST114. After step ST114, a tray pop-up operation is performed. Steps ST114 to ST124 are the same as steps ST2 to ST12 in FIG. Then, if the fifth shot is hit or if a time-over is detected in step ST124, the process proceeds to step ST125 to display whether the fifth shot has been hit or the fifth shot has failed. In step ST125, the total time required from the start of the game to the end of the game is displayed. After step ST125 ends, the process proceeds to step ST126. When the lid member 5 is returned to the original state, the process returns to step ST101 via step ST127. The four times in this game correspond to “n times” in the invention of claim 2.

In this game, a difference is made between the time over time determined in step ST 1 12 and the one time over time determined in step ST 124. For example, you may want to shorten the time-over time to get your fifth hit. In addition, the steps ST 1 18, ST 120, and ST 120 that determine the fifth hit are based on the time width set in steps ST 106, ST 108, and ST 110, which determine hits up to the fourth time. The time width of ST 122 may be made smaller. For example, each time width may be halved for the latter. In this way, the practice up to four times is the practice of shooting, and the player can strongly give the impression that the fifth hit is actual, and motivate the player. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a setting procedure when a two-player game (GAME2) in a two-player control mode that can be enjoyed for a relatively long time is performed by two players. The difference from the procedure in FIG. 8 is that in step S104, the switch SW2 is switched to the “Long” side and “GAME 2” is selected. The other steps are the same as those in FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the algorithm of the program of the game in the two-player control mode. The feature of this game is that the first player to hit three times is the winner. The steps from step ST101 to step ST1 12 'are the same as the steps from step ST1 to step ST12' in FIG. Therefore, until one of the two players hits three times, the process returns to step ST 102 via step ST 130 and step ST 132, and the hit is displayed by the magnitude of the explosion sound and the lighting display of the light emitting diode. . If one player hits three times, the process proceeds to step ST131 to determine a winner. In step ST131, a tray pop-up is executed together with the sound of the explosion, and the maximum time required for shooting until then is displayed. After that, the process returns to step ST101 via step ST134 and step ST135.

In step ST132, it is determined whether five games have been played. If either player fails to hit three times in five matches, the process proceeds to step ST 133 where a draw is determined. And in this case, the maximum required shooting time until then is displayed. Thereafter, the process returns to step ST101 via step ST134 and step ST135.
