Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(1st Embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a user 10 wearing a belt 20 as a toy according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The belt 20 as a toy simulates a belt worn by a hero of a TV program or the like. As shown in FIG. 1, the user 10 is also used by being detachably attached to the waist 11 mainly. It is intended to be a hero and to "play as if". The hero wears a medal on the belt on the program, reads the medal worn on the belt with a scanner, transforms into a predetermined mode based on the combination of the mounted medals, and issues various special moves In addition, the scanner is set to emit sound, emit light, and the like when performing a transformation or performing a deadly technique from the scanner. Here, “transformation” means that the hero changes the appearance for each of the head, chest, and chest according to the medal.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, three medals 21 (a first medal 211, a second medal 212, and a third medal 213) can be mounted on the belt 20 in a replaceable manner. Each of the medals 211, 212, and 213 instructs a hero's head, chest, and leg transformation as a setting on the program. For example, if the hero is set so that the hero's head, chest, and legs can change by six types each (that is, a setting that allows the hero to change into 216 types of modes), the first medal 211 is set. , A second medal 212 and a third medal 213 are also prepared for each of the six types.
In the following description, when medals are collectively referred to, they are indicated by medals 21, and when medals are distinguished, they are indicated by first medals 211, second medals 212, and third medals 213. .

  An IC tag 26 storing individual identification information is embedded in the medal 21 and is not exposed on the surface. As the IC tag 26, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag can be used. In particular, by using a passive type device that operates using radio waves from the scanner 30 as an energy source, there is no need to incorporate a battery and the device can be operated at low cost and almost permanently. Further, the IC tag 26 operates by receiving a radio wave from the scanner 30 and emits a signal representing the stored individual device identification information.

  The individualization of the medals 21 may be performed from various viewpoints. For example, the individual identification information stored in the IC tag may be different depending on the color, such as a gold medal or a silver medal. Further, the individual identification information stored in the IC tag may be changed according to the hero's transformation mode indicated by the medal as a setting on the program. For example, a medal instructing a transformation mode with an animal "hawk" as a motif, a medal instructing a transformation mode with an animal "tiger" as a motif, and a transformation mode instructing with an insect "grasshopper" as a motif. It is conceivable that the individual identification information stored in the IC tag differs from the medal. In this case, the surface of the medal may be provided with a pattern, such as a hawk, a tiger, a grasshopper, or the like, which indicates a mode of transformation. Further, on the back surface, a symbol representing a part in which each medal indicates a transformation mode, that is, any one of a head, a chest, and a leg can be provided. Thereby, the individual identification information can be known from the appearance of the medals 21. In this embodiment, the color of the medal (gold or silver) and the motif of the transformation mode designated by the medal as a setting on the program (“taka”, “tiger”, “grasshopper”) are used according to the individual identification information of the medal 21. Such as animals and insects).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the belt 20 is a medal which is a support having a belt main body 22 which is a toy main body worn by the user 10 and slots 241, 242 and 243 as support portions for supporting the medals 21 in a replaceable manner. It has a holder 24 (see FIG. 3), a scanner holder 23 for detachably storing the scanner 30 in the belt body 22, and a medal storage unit 28 for detachably storing a plurality of medals 21. The medal holder 24 can be provided integrally with the buckle 221 of the belt 20. The scanner holder 23 is provided with a holding portion 231 for hooking and holding the scanner 30. The medal storage unit 28 holds the medals 21 to be used, takes out the medals 21 to be used, and mounts them on the medal holder 24. Alternatively, the used medals 21 taken out from the medal holder 24 are stored. The scanner holder 23 and the medal storage unit 28 can be attached to an arbitrary place of the belt main body 22.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the medal holder 24 has a plurality of slots 241, 242, and 243 so that a plurality of (three in this embodiment) medals 211, 212, and 213 can be exchangeably inserted. . That is, the slots 241, 242, and 243 function as supporting portions for supporting the medals 211, 212, and 213. The medal holder 24 is provided with a toy identification IC 27 to which toy identification information for identifying the belt 20 from other toys is attached. The toy identification IC 27 receives radio waves from the scanner 30, operates using the radio waves as an energy source, and emits a signal representing the attached toy identification information. In addition, individualization between toys based on toy identification information may be performed from various viewpoints such as use, shape, retail price, role in a program, production date and time, and the like. For example, as in the case of the belt 20 and a weapon 50 to be described later, it is possible to divide the function into a role of “playing the game” and incorporate a toy identification IC to which different pieces of toy identification information are attached. Further, even if the role of the "belt" plays the same role in the "play as it is", if the shape is different, the toy identification information attached to the toy identification IC may be different. By this, the belts worn by different heroes on the program can be individualized as separate toys, or even if the same hero is worn on the belt, the belt before power-up as a setting in the program And it can be individualized as separate toys as a belt after power-up. In this embodiment, at least the toy identification information attached to the toy identification IC 27 incorporated in the belt 20 indicates that the toy incorporating the toy identification IC 27 is the belt 20.

The medal holder 24 has a guide unit 25 for guiding the scanner 30 so that the scanner 30 passes through a reading position where the individual identification information of the medals 21 supported by the medal holder 24 can be read. The guide portion 25 is provided near the slots 241, 242, 243 so that a member having an L-shaped cross section protrudes from the surface of the medal holder 24. In this embodiment, the guide portion 21 is provided substantially parallel to the direction in which the slots 241, 242, 243 are arranged. Further, the guide unit 25 and the medal holder 24 can be inclined (for example, about 24 °) with respect to the belt main body 22 so that the scanner 30 can be easily moved when the user 10 reads the individual identification information. It is provided for the belt body 22 as shown in FIG.
Therefore, by moving the scanner 30 along the guide portion 25, the scanner 30 can pass through the reading position where the individual identification information of the medal 21 can be read, and can read the individual identification information from the IC tag 26 of the medal 21. it can. Further, by moving the scanner 30 along the guide section, the scanner 30 can read the individual identification information from the IC tag 26 of the medal 21 and then can read the toy identification information from the toy identification IC 27 of the medal holder 24. You will be guided to the toy identification position. Thus, the scanner 30 can naturally read the toy identification information from the toy identification IC 27 after reading the individual identification information from the IC tag 26 of the medal 21.

As shown in FIG. 4, the scanner 30 has an overall disk shape, and has a handle 31 for inserting the hand of the user 10 and holding the scanner 30 on the surface. A reading start switch 32 for starting a function as a tag reader is provided inside the handle 31. The reading start switch 32 is turned on by gripping the handle 31, and once turned on, the scanner 30 can read the individual identification information of the medal 21 and the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 for a certain period of time. Therefore, if the reading is not performed within a certain period of time when the reading start switch 32 is turned on, the reading is automatically turned off, so that the reading cannot be performed and the consumption of the battery can be prevented. Further, on the surface, there are provided a sound emitting unit 34 such as a speaker for emitting sounds such as a predetermined dialogue, a starting sound, a transformation sound, and a deadly technique sound, and a light emitting unit 35 including an LED for emitting light, and a scanner therein. A vibrating unit 36 for vibrating the unit 30 is provided (see FIG. 5).
In addition, it is desirable to attach a pattern corresponding to the image of the hero on the surface.

  On the back surface of the scanner 30, there is provided a locking portion 33 for hooking and holding the holding portion 231 (see FIG. 2) of the scanner holder 23 of the belt main body 22. The locking portion 33 is rotatable about the upper end 331 in a direction away from the rear surface (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 4B), and rotates when attached to the scanner holder 23, but always rotates. Is urged to the back side by a spring member (not shown). Thereby, the scanner 30 locked on the scanner holder 23 is held without falling off.

  In addition, a transmission antenna 371 and a reception antenna 372 are provided on the back surface of the scanner 30. When the scanner 30 reads the individual identification information of the medals 21 by the scanner 30, the transmission antenna 371 is controlled by the control unit 40 to emit radio waves toward the IC tag 26 of the medals 21, and the reception antenna 372 is The signal received from the IC tag 26 in response to the radio wave is received. When the scanner 30 reads the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 by the scanner 30, the transmission antenna 371 is controlled by the control unit 40 to emit a radio wave toward the toy identification IC 27, and the reception antenna 372 transmits the radio wave to the toy identification IC 27. In response to this, a signal emitted from the toy identification IC 27 is received.

  FIG. 5 shows the internal configuration of the scanner 30 which is an IC tag reader. As shown in FIG. 5, a control unit 40 and a battery 41 are provided inside the scanner 30, and are connected via a reading start switch 32. Therefore, when the reading start switch 32 is turned ON, a current flows through the control unit 40 for a predetermined time, and control is started.

  A transmission antenna 371 and a reception antenna 372 are connected to the control unit 40, and when the reading start switch 32 is turned on, the transmission antenna 37 is controlled to emit radio waves to the IC tag 26 and the toy identification IC 27. The individual identification information and the toy identification information represented by the signal emitted from the IC tag 26 of the medal 21 received by the receiving antenna 372 and the signal emitted from the toy identification IC 27 of the medal holder 24 are determined, and the memory to be described later is determined. 42 (that is, the individual identification information and the toy identification information are read). A memory 42 is connected to the control unit 40, and voice data for generating a sound such as a predetermined dialogue, a start sound, a transformation sound, and a deadly technique sound from the sounding unit 34, and a light emitting unit 35 for transmitting a predetermined pattern Light emission data for causing the vibration unit 36 to vibrate in a predetermined pattern is stored. In addition, at least the combination of the individual identification information of the predetermined medals 21 and the operation data of the sounding unit 34, the light emitting unit 35, and the vibration unit 36 for the combination are stored in advance, but the present invention is not limited to this. In addition to storing various voice data, light emission data (light emission pattern data), and vibration data to be described later, various conceivable data can be stored. In addition, the memory 42 has a temporary storage area for temporarily storing the read individual identification information and the toy identification information of the medals 21. The drive unit 43 is connected to the control unit 40, and the sound generation unit 34, the light emission unit 35, and the vibration unit 36 are connected to the drive unit 43.

Next, the operation of the user 10 on the belt 20 and the operation of the belt 20 corresponding thereto will be described.
First, the reading operation of the medal 21 will be described with reference to FIG. When started (step SAS), the desired medals 21 stored in the medal storage unit 28 are taken out and mounted in the slots 241, 242, 243 of the medal holder 24 (step SA1). A desired number of medals 21 are mounted (step SA2). When the mounting is completed, the scanner 30 is removed from the scanner holder 23 (step SA3). The reading start switch 32 is turned ON by putting a hand into the handle 31 of the scanner 30 and holding it (step SA4). Accordingly, the control unit 40 drives the transmission antenna 371 to control the transmission antenna 37 so as to emit radio waves to the IC tag 26 and the toy identification IC 27. At the same time, the control unit 40 reads out audio data for generating a standby sound from the memory 42, drives the sound generation unit 34 to emit a standby sound (step SA5), and the user 10 uses the scanner 30 to output the individual identification information of the medal 21. Thus, it is possible to know that the toy identification information of the medal holder 24 can be read. As the standby sound, for example, a sound such as “queen” can be adopted. At this time, based on the data stored in the memory 42, the control unit 40 desirably controls the light emitting unit 35 to emit light and the vibration unit 36 to vibrate in response to the standby sound.

  If the user 10 does not start reading within a predetermined time after the standby sound is emitted (that is, the reading start switch 32 is turned on) (step SA6), the control unit 40 turns off the reading start switch 32. Then, the process ends (step SA7). Conversely, when the user 10 starts reading within the predetermined time, that is, the user 10 has moved the scanner 30 along the guide portion 25 of the medal holder 24 within the predetermined time (step SA8). The control unit 40 recognizes the medal 21 each time one medal 21 is read (step SA9). That is, the reading position where the scanner 30 capable of reading the individual identification information and the toy identification information can read the individual identification information of the medal 21 (in this embodiment, above the guide portion 25 and each of the slots 241, 242) , 243), a current flows through the IC tag 26 in the medal 21 due to radio waves emitted from the transmission antenna 371 of the scanner 30, and the IC tag 26 emits a signal. The signal emitted from the IC tag 26 is received by the receiving antenna 372. The control unit 40 determines the individual identification information represented by the signal received by the reception antenna 372. That is, the individual identification information of the medal 21 is read. When reading the individual identification information of the medals 21, the control unit 40 reads the audio data of the medal recognition sound from the memory 42, drives the sounding unit 34 to emit the medal recognition sound, and stores the read individual identification information in the memory 42. 42 in the temporary storage area. As the medal recognition sound, for example, a sound like "Keen" can be used when reading a gold medal, and a sound such as "Geen" can be used when reading a silver medal. Further, since the read individual identification information is stored in the temporary storage area of the memory 42, when two medals 21 are read, the control unit 40 sets the read individual identification information of the two medals 21 to gold. It can be determined whether or not it represents a medal. When it is determined that the two pieces of the individual identification information of the gold medal have been read, the control unit 40 determines the medal recognition sound emitted when the individual identification information of the second piece of the gold medal has been read out. The medal recognition sound generated when the individual identification information of the medal is read may be changed by raising a semitone from the medal recognition sound. At this time, based on the data stored in the memory 42, the control unit 40 preferably controls the light emitting unit 35 to emit light and the vibration unit 36 to vibrate in response to the scan sound.

  Then, the scanner 30 is moved along the guide portion 25 to pass through the reading position where the individual identification information of the medals 21 can be read, and the individual medals 211, 212, and 213 inserted into the slots 241, 242, and 243 are individually read. After the identification information is read, the toy identification IC 27 attached to the medal holder 24 is subsequently read (step SA10). That is, by moving the scanner 30 along the guide section 25 to read the individual identification information of the medals 21, the scanner 30 is guided to a toy identification position where the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 can be read. Electric current flows through the toy identification IC 27 due to radio waves emitted from the transmission antenna 371 of the scanner 30, and the toy identification IC 27 emits a signal. The signal emitted from the toy identification IC 27 is received by the receiving antenna 372. The control unit 40 determines the toy identification information represented by the signal received by the reception antenna 372, and in the case of the present embodiment, determines that the belt 20 is used. As described above, by moving the scanner 30 along the guide section 25, the individual identification information of the medals 21 is read, and then the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 is also read by a natural operation. The user can recognize that the toy being played is the belt 20. The control unit 40 also stores the read toy identification information in the temporary storage area of the memory 42.

  When the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 is read, the control unit 40 reads from the memory 42 audio data for generating a read completion sound (scan completion sound) in which reading of the individual identification information and the toy identification information of the medals 21 is completed. Is read, and the sound generator 34 is driven to generate a reading completion sound (step SA11). Note that a plurality of pieces of audio data for generating the reading completion sound are stored in the memory 42 for each piece of toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27, and the control unit 40 is stored in a temporary storage area in the memory 42. With reference to the toy identification information read most recently, voice data for generating a corresponding read completion sound is read from the memory 42. That is, in the present embodiment, the audio data of the reading completion sound corresponding to the toy identification information of the belt 20 is read. For example, a sound such as "Zukun" can be used. Of course, at this time, based on the data stored in the memory 42, the control unit 40 desirably controls the light emitting unit 35 to emit light and the vibration unit 36 to vibrate in response to the reading completion sound. . Further, since the reading completion sound corresponds to the toy identification information, if this is toy identification information other than the belt 20, a different sound is of course output. Next, the control unit 40 refers to the read individual identification information of the first medal 211, the second medal 212, and the third medal 213 stored in the partial storage area in the memory 42, and sets each individual identification information. (For example, a hawk, a tiger, a locust) specified by the user, and a voice corresponding to the motif stored in the memory 42 (for example, a voice of “taka” if the motif is a taka, or a “tiger” if it is a tiger) , Or voice data for generating a grasshopper (a voice called “grasshopper”) from the memory 42 and drives the sound generator 34 to generate a voice. Thus, the reading is completed (step SAE).

Next, an operation based on the read individual identification information of the medal 21 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the setting of the program, the hero changes its transformation mode according to the contents of the medal read by the scanner (for example, the transformation mode of the head, chest, and legs changes according to the motif specified by the medal). Has a makeover sound. To reproduce this, first, the control unit 40 refers to the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 stored in the temporary storage area of the memory 42 (step SB1). In the case of the present embodiment, since the toy identification information stored in the temporary storage area of the memory 42 indicates the belt 20, “the combination of the individual identification information of the medals 211, 212, and 213” It is compared with the “combination of the individual identification information of the predetermined medals 21” stored in the memory 42 for use to determine whether they match. (Step SB2). When it is determined that the combination of the individual identification information of the read medals 21 does not match the predetermined combination (when the number of read individual identification information of the medal 21 is less than the number constituting the predetermined combination (for example, When the predetermined combination is a combination of three pieces of individual identification information (three medals), it includes one or two pieces of read individual identification information (one or two medals). ), The control unit 40 reads out the sound data for generating a normal transformation sound, for example, “Duine” or the like from the memory 42, and drives the sound generation unit 34 to output the sound (step SB3).

On the other hand, when it is determined in step SB2 that the combination matches the predetermined combination, the control unit 40 determines that the special transformation sound, for example, the medals 211, 212, and 213 stored in the memory 42 for the predetermined combination is " In the case of "taka", "tiger", or "grasshopper", data for generating "ta-to-ba, tatoba, ta-to-ba" by taking the initials is read from the memory 42, and the sound generation unit is read. 34 is driven to output a sound (step SB4). At this time, based on the data stored in the memory 42, the control unit 40 desirably controls the light emitting unit 35 to emit light and the vibration unit 36 to vibrate in response to the transformation sound.
In addition, regardless of the order of the medals 211, 212, and 213 to be mounted on the medal holder 24, if the combination of the read individual identification information is the same, it is determined that the combination is the same (that is, the order of hawk, tiger, and grasshopper). Even if the individual identification information is read in the order, even if it is read in the order of hawk, locust, tiger, these are determined to be the same combination of individual identification information of hawk, tiger, grasshopper) Even if the user is a child and is mounted on the medal holder 24 in the wrong order, the user can enjoy the output of a special transformation sound.

In addition, the user 10 reads the individual identification information of the medal 21 and the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 again with the scanner 30 within a predetermined time (for example, three minutes) after outputting the normal make-up sound or the special make-up sound. (Step SB5). If the user 10 again reads the individual identification information of the medals 21 and the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 27 with the scanner 30 within the predetermined time, the medals are recognized each time one medal is read, as described above. (Step SB6), and reads the toy identification IC 27 (Step SB7). The control unit 40 compares the individual identification information and the toy identification information stored in the temporary storage area in the memory 42 with the individual identification information and the toy identification information newly read and stored in the temporary storage area. It is determined whether or not there is (step SB8). If it is determined that they match, the reading has been performed again without exchanging the medals 21. Therefore, the sound data for generating the reading completion sound corresponding thereto is read from the memory, and the sound generation unit 34 is driven. A reading completion sound is output (step SB9). Further, in response to the reading being performed again without exchanging the medals 21, the control unit 40 outputs a special technique sound, for example, a sound of “scanning charge rider kick” from the memory 42 instead of the transformation sound. The voice data is read out, and the sound generator 34 is driven to output voice (step SB10). This is the end (step SB11).
On the other hand, if there is no re-reading of the individual identification information and the like within the predetermined time in step SB5, the control unit 40 deletes the individual identification information and the like stored in the temporary storage area of the memory 42 and ends (step SB12). In step SB8, if the individual identification information and the toy identification information stored in the temporary storage area in the memory 42 do not match the individual identification information and the toy identification information newly read and stored in the temporary storage area. If it is determined that the user 10 has exchanged the medals 21 and has read them again, the newly read individual identification information and toy identification information are stored in the temporary storage area in the memory 42 with the newly read individual identification information and toy identification information. The individual identification information and the toy identification information are overwritten and the process returns to step SA11 in FIG. 6 (arrow A), and a read completion sound corresponding to the newly read toy identification information is output. To.

According to the belt 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the belt body 22 includes the slots 241, 242, and 243 that exchangeably support the medals 211, 212, and 213 from which the scanner 30 reads the individual identification information. The individual identification information to be read can be easily changed by exchanging the medals 211, 212, and 213.
In addition, the toy body 22 has a guide portion 25 that guides the scanner 30 to pass through a reading position where the individual identification information can be read when the individual identification information is read by the scanner 30. Individual identification information can be read.
In addition, the toy body 22 is provided with a toy identification IC 27 to which toy identification information for identifying the toy body 22 from other toy bodies is attached, and the scanner 30 moves along the guide unit 25. Thereby, the toy main body 22 can be reliably identified. Thereby, the driving unit 43 is driven in accordance with the combination of the read individual identification information and the toy identification information, and a mode unique to the belt 20 can be adopted, so that a varied and interesting belt 20 can be provided.

  Further, since the medal holder 24 has a plurality of slots 241, 242, 243 for supporting the medals 211, 212, 213 in an exchangeable manner, a plurality of medals 21 can be used. In addition, since the guide unit 25 guides the scanner 30 to a reading position where the individual identification information of the medals 21 of all the slots 241, 242, and 243 can be read, it is possible to reliably read the individual identification information of all the medals 21. it can.

  Further, when the plurality of individual identification information read by the scanner 30 is a predetermined combination, the driving unit 43 adopts a special driving mode corresponding to the combination, which can surprise the user or the like.

  In addition, the driving unit 43 can drive at least one of the sound generating unit 34, the light emitting unit 35, and the vibrating unit 36 to express voice, light, vibration, or a combination thereof. Can be given.

  Further, since the individual identification information and the toy identification information are written on the minute IC tag 26 and the toy identification IC 27, the IC tag 26 and the toy identification IC 27 are embedded at desired positions without changing the design of the medal 21 and the medal holder 24. be able to. Further, the scanner 30 reads information by non-contact or contact with the IC tag 26 of the medal 21 and the toy identification IC 27 of the belt body 22.

(2nd Embodiment)
Next, a weapon 50 as a toy according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the same reference numerals are given to portions common to the belt 20 according to the above-described first embodiment, and redundant description will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 8, the weapon 50 as a toy simulates what a hero uses during a battle in setting a program, and has a weapon body 51 and a medal 21. Then, the medal 21 which is the identified member provided with the individual identification information is attached to the weapon body 51, the individual identification information is read from the medal 21 attached by the scanner 30 which is the reader, and based on the read information. To take a predetermined mode.

  The weapon main body 51 has a handle 52 held by the user 10 and a blade 53 continuous with the handle 52. The blade portion 53 is provided with a slot 54 as a support for exchangeably supporting the medals 21. At the tip of the slot 54, storage chambers 541, 542, and 543 as support portions for storing the medals 21 are provided. Is provided. Note that the accommodation rooms 541, 542, and 543 communicate with each other, and the medal 21 can move between the accommodation rooms. A micro switch 55 for counting the number of medals 21 inserted in the slot 54 is provided near the medal insertion slot of the slot 54, and according to the number of times the medal 21 inserted in the slot 54 has turned on the micro switch 55. In addition, the drive control unit described later knows the number of inserted medals 21.

  A guide portion 56 is provided on a side surface of the blade portion 53 along the accommodation chambers 541, 542, and 543. A toy identification IC 57 with toy identification information indicating that it is a weapon 50 is provided near the tip of the guide portion 56, instead of the belt 20 shown in the first embodiment. The toy identification IC 57 is embedded so as not to be visually recognized from the outside.

  The weapon 50 has a drive control unit, a memory connected to the drive control unit, and a battery (all not shown). The drive control unit includes a drive switch 59 provided on the handle 52, a speaker, and the like. And a light emitting unit 62 that emits light with an LED or the like, and is connected to the microswitch 55 described above. A physical switch 58 that is turned on by contacting the scanner 30 when the scanner 30 is placed on the guide unit 56 is provided on the base end side of the guide unit 56. 58 is also connected. The memory stores voice data and light emission pattern data for driving the sound generator 61 and the light emitting unit 62 to output sound and emit light by driving control unit, and the micro switch 55 is turned on. It has a count storage area for storing the number of times the number of medals has been inserted (ie, the number of inserted medals 21). Further, the memory has a physical switch state storage area for storing that the physical switch 58 has been turned on. When the physical switch 58 is pressed down and turned on, the drive control unit stores the physical switch state storage area. Information indicating that the physical switch 58 has been turned on is stored in the area. However, after storing information indicating that the physical switch 58 has been turned ON, the drive control unit deletes the information when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In the above-described configuration, when the user 10 presses the drive switch 59, the drive control unit reads data stored in the memory in response to the push, and based on the read data, generates the sounding unit 62 and the light emitting unit. 64 is driven to emit sound and emit light. A plurality of voice data and light emission pattern data are stored in the memory in accordance with the number of times the micro switch 55 is turned on (the number of inserted medals 21), and when the drive switch 59 is pressed, With reference to the count storage area in the memory, data corresponding to the number of times the microswitch 55 has been turned on (the number of inserted medals 61) may be read from the memory. For example, the more powerful the number of times the micro switch 55 is turned on (the number of inserted medals 21), the more powerful the sound can be. Further, a plurality of voice data and light emission pattern data are stored in the memory according to whether or not information indicating that the physical switch 58 is turned on is stored in the physical switch state storage area. When the user presses the drive switch 59, the drive control unit refers to the physical switch state storage area and stores information indicating that the physical switch 58 is turned on in the physical switch state storage area. Data according to whether the data is present may be read from the memory. As a result, the data read from the memory changes depending on whether or not the reading operation by the scanner 30 has been performed on the weapon 50. For example, when the reading operation by the scanner 30 is not performed (the physical switch state storage area) In the case where the information indicating that the physical switch 58 is turned on is not stored in the physical switch 58, the normal attack sound is output and the reading operation by the scanner 30 is performed (the physical switch status storage area stores the physical switch). When the information indicating that 58 has been turned on is stored), it is possible to indicate a deadly technique, to output a more powerful special attack sound, and the like. At this time, the normal attack sound and the special attack sound may be changed as described above according to the number of times the micro switch 55 is turned on (the number of inserted medals 21).

Next, the reading operation of the medal 21 by the user 10 on the weapon 50, the operation of the scanner 30, the operation of the weapon 50, and the generation of the special technique sound with the weapon 50 will be described with reference to FIG.
When started (step SCS), the medals 21 stored in the medal storage unit 28 of the belt 20 are taken out and sequentially inserted into the slots 54 of the weapon 50 (step SC1). The micro switch 55 counts the number of inserted medals 21 (step SC2). More specifically, each time the micro switch 55 is turned on by the passage of the medal 21, the drive control unit connected to the micro switch 55 updates the count storage area in the memory, and Counting the number. A desired number of medals 21 are mounted, and when the mounting is completed (step SC3), the scanner 30 is removed from the scanner holder 23 of the belt 20 (step SC4).

  When the reading start switch 32 is turned on by putting a hand into the handle 31 of the scanner 30 and holding it, the control unit 40 drives the transmission antenna 371 to operate the IC tag 26 and the toy identification IC 57 as in the first embodiment. The transmitting antenna 37 is controlled to emit a radio wave. At the same time, the control unit 40 reads the sound data of the standby sound from the memory 42, drives the sound generation unit 34 to emit a standby sound, and the user 10 uses the scanner 30 to individually identify the medal 21 and the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 57. Can be read. Then, the user 10 moves the scanner 30 along the guide section 56 in this state (step SC5). At this time, the scanner 30 contacts the physical switch 58 to turn it on (step SC6), and the drive control unit of the weapon 50 connected to the physical switch 58 stores the physical switch 58 in the physical switch state storage area in the memory. Information indicating that it has been turned on is stored. Then, the IC tag 26 of the medal 21 and the toy identification IC 57 of the weapon 50 are read (step SC7). That is, similarly to the first embodiment, the reading position where the scanner 30 capable of reading the individual identification information and the toy identification information can read the individual identification information of the medal 21 (in the present embodiment, above the guide section 56). Then, when passing through the accommodation rooms 541, 542, and 543), a current flows through the IC tag 26 in the medal 21 due to radio waves emitted from the transmission antenna 371 of the scanner 30, and the IC tag 26 Emits. The signal emitted from the IC tag 26 is received by the receiving antenna 372. The control unit 40 determines the individual identification information represented by the signal received by the reception antenna 372. That is, the individual identification information of the medal 21 is read. When the individual identification information of the medal 21 is read, the control unit 40 reads out the audio data of the scan sound from the memory 42, drives the sound generation unit 34 to emit a medal recognition sound, and converts the read individual identification information into It is stored in a temporary storage area of the memory 42. Then, after passing through the reading position where the individual identification information of the medals 21 can be read and reading the individual identification information of all the medals 21 inserted into the accommodation rooms 541, 542, and 543, the scanner 30 is operated by the guide unit 56. The user is guided to the toy identification position where the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 57 can be read. At this time, electric current flows through the toy identification IC 57 due to radio waves emitted from the transmission antenna 371 of the scanner 30, and the toy identification IC 57 emits a signal. The signal emitted from the toy identification IC 57 is received by the receiving antenna 372. The control unit 40 determines the toy identification information represented by the signal received by the receiving antenna 372, and in the case of the present embodiment, determines that it is the weapon 50. Further, the control unit 40 stores the read toy identification information in the temporary storage area of the memory 42.

  Thereafter, the control unit 40 refers to the toy identification information of the toy identification IC 57 stored in the temporary storage area of the memory 42 (that is, the toy identification information indicating that the weapon 50 is the weapon 50), and reads the weapon 50 from the memory 42. Then, data for generating a reading completion sound corresponding to the toy identification information indicating that the reading is completed is read, and the sound generation unit 34 is driven to generate a reading completion sound (step SC8). The read completion sound corresponding to the toy identification information indicating the weapon 50 is a sound (for example, a lower sound or the like) different from the read completion sound corresponding to the toy identification information indicating the belt 20. Therefore, even if the individual identification information of the read medals 21 is the same, the reading completion sound can be made different depending on whether the toy identification information subsequently read is that of the belt 20 or the weapon 50. . Further, if the medal 21 is supported by the toy by the support portion as in the present embodiment, the reading completion sound can be made different depending on the toy supporting the medal 21 during the reading operation. Further, the subsequent operation of the scanner 30 is different from the case where the reading operation is performed with the belt 20 of the first embodiment as described below. That is, the scanner 30 not only changes the reading completion sound in accordance with the read toy identification information, but also changes the operation after the reading completion sound.

  Now, the output after the reading completion sound is described with reference to FIG. The control unit 40 refers to the temporary storage area in the memory 42 (Step SD1), determines the number of the stored individual identification information of the medals 21 (Step SD2), and performs a special operation according to the number of the individual identification information. Data for generating a technique sound is read from the memory 42, and the sound generator 34 is driven to output a special technique sound (step SD3). That is, when the stored individual identification information is one (that is, when the medal 21 from which the individual identification information is read is one), a sound of “single scanning charge” is generated. The sound "double scanning charge" or "triple scanning charge" is issued for three. As described above, the scanner 30 performs an operation when a reading operation is performed by the belt 20 of the first embodiment (outputs a sound corresponding to a motif of each medal, outputs a transformation sound corresponding to a combination of the medals, and the like). Performs a different operation.

  When the user 10 turns on the drive switch 59 of the weapon 50 after the generation of the special technique sound (step SD4), the drive control unit of the weapon 50 refers to the physical switch state storage area in the memory and performs the physical switch. It is determined whether or not the information indicating that 58 has been turned on is stored (step SD5). If it is determined that the information indicating that the physical switch 58 has been turned on is stored, data corresponding to the storage of the information indicating that the physical switch 58 has been turned on (for example, a deadly attack) Is read from the memory, and based on the read data, the sound generator 61 and the light emitter 62 are driven to emit sound and emit light (step SD6). If it is determined in step SD5 that information indicating that the physical switch 58 has been turned on is not stored, data corresponding to the fact that information indicating that the physical switch 58 has been turned on is not stored (for example, , Data for producing a normal attack) is read from the memory, and based on the read data, the sound generator 61 and the light emitter 62 are driven to emit sound and emit light (step SD7). As a result, before the scanner 30 reads the individual identification information of the medal 21 (before the physical switch 58 is pressed), that is, before the death sound of the medal 21 is generated, and after the reading (when the physical switch 58 is pressed). ), That is, after the deathblow sound is generated from the scanner 30, the sound or the like generated from the weapon 50 when the user 10 presses the drive switch 59 can be changed. Sometimes, instead of a special attack sound, a normal attack sound is used, and in the latter case, a more powerful special attack sound that represents a special attack is used.

  When the drive switch 59 is turned on by the user 10, the drive control unit refers to the count storage area at the same time as the physical switch state storage area of the memory 42, and further stores data read from the memory 42 in the count storage area. The stored data may be data corresponding to the number of times the microswitch 55 has been turned on (the number of inserted medals 61). Thereby, the control unit 40 responds to the fact that the information indicating that the physical switch 59 has been turned on is stored in the physical switch state storage area from the memory 42 and the micro switch 55 stored in the count storage area. It becomes possible to read data according to the number of times that is turned ON. The number of times the microswitch 55 stored in the count storage area has been turned on should match the number of read individual identification information of the medal 21 stored in the temporary storage area of the memory 42 of the scanner 30. Therefore, after the scanner 30 outputs the sound corresponding to the number of the individual identification information (for example, “triple scanning charge” which is the sound when three are stored), when the user 10 turns on the drive switch 59, the weapon is turned on. The special attack sound output from 50 also depends on the number of inserted medals 21 (for example, the number of times the micro switch 55 is turned on is three), so that the sound output from the scanner 30 and the Both the sound output from the weapon 50 and the sound output from the weapon 50 can be determined according to the number of medals 21.

  As described above, according to the weapon 50 of the second embodiment of the present invention described above, the same effect as the belt 20 of the above-described first embodiment can be obtained, and the individual identification given by exchanging the medals 21 can be obtained. Information can be easily changed, and a varied and interesting weapon 50 can be provided.

  As described above, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail, but the toy according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and within the scope of the present invention described in the claims, Various modifications and changes are possible.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where three coins 21 are used is illustrated, but the number of coins 21 is not limited. Also, the combination of transformations can be set arbitrarily.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where scanning is performed in a non-contact manner using an RFID tag is exemplified, but the present invention is also applicable to a contact type.
Further, although the passive type is illustrated as the IC tag 26 of the coin 21, an active type in which a battery is built in the coin 21 may be used.
