DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a go machine provided with a storage device which discriminates and stores the order of landing types and enables printout.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, the state of landing in a game has been confirmed and recorded by hand.

[0003]

It is essential for professional shogi players to record the state of arrival, and even for amateurs, checking the situation after a game is the best way to improve Go. Met. However, the landing status of professional chess players was handwritten by several people, and there was no way to do this in amateur games. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a storage device which makes it possible to discriminate and record the landing state on a stone bed by a central processing unit using a sensor and an integrated circuit, and print out the landing state and order. The goal is to provide a Go machine.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A Go machine equipped with a storage device according to the present invention solves the above problems and is as follows. In the Go machine equipped with the storage device according to the present invention, the go board is made into a box shape with an internal cavity, and the upper surface is provided with a suitable sensing hole (2) at all positions called grid-shaped eyes, and the sensing hole (2) At the lower part, there is a stone board (1) provided with a color sensor (3) for distinguishing between white and black, and a central processing unit (7) and a temporary storage device (6) using an integrated circuit are provided inside. Then, the wiring connection is made so that the signals of all the color sensors (3) of the bedrock (1) are determined and temporarily stored. The data stored in the temporary storage device (6) can be written to a floppy disk (9) in the recording device (10) by a disk write switch (16) provided on the outer side of the board, and output to a printer. The buttons (17) are arranged so that they can be printed out by the built-in printer (11). Further, a reset button (15) for erasing data in the temporary storage device (6) and restarting is provided. Although the sensor of the present invention is a color sensor (3), any sensor may be used as long as it can input a landing signal to the central processing unit (7). As in the embodiment, a pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an optical sensor, and the like may be used. In addition, there is no technical difference even if any other sensors can be used to detect the landing. An external format switch may be provided to enable initialization of the floppy disk, or a socket may be provided to enable connection to a display. As described above, the structure of the central processing unit (7) using the integrated circuit, the semiconductor electronic circuit of the temporary storage device (6) and each device, and the wiring connection circuit thereof all use a known technique.

[0005]

The Go machine equipped with the storage device according to the present invention operates and operates as follows. That is, as shown in the partially cutaway perspective view of FIG. 1, after turning on the power switch (14), the stone board (1)
The black stone (5) and the white stone (4) are set on the stone. At this time, the color sensor (3) arranged just below the sensing hole (2) provided in the eye of the stone board (1) The white and black colors are determined, and each signal is sent to the central processing unit (7). The central processing unit (7) that has received the signal arranges the type order of the signal as appropriate and sends it to the temporary storage device (6), and the temporary storage device (6) temporarily stores this. Temporary storage device (6)
In order to read data from and write it to the floppy disk (9) of the recording device (10), the disk write switch (16) may be pressed. When data is read from the temporary storage device (6) and the floppy disk (9) and printed out by the built-in printer (11), the printing paper is inserted into the printer (11) and the printer output button (17) is pressed. Press to print unit (12)
As a result, as in the case of the printing paper (13), the state on the stone board (1), that is, the white stone (4) and the black stone (5) on which the line on the lattice and the stone order number are written is drawn. In the case of stopping the game, when the memory is no longer necessary, if the reset button (15) is pressed, all the data is erased from the temporary storage device (6), and the game is restarted and the game starts.

【Example】

Embodiment 1 Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The board has a box-like shape with an internal cavity, and the upper surface is provided with a perforated sensing hole (2) at all positions called grid-shaped eyes, and a color is provided below the sensing hole (2) to distinguish white and black. A stone processing board (1) provided with a sensor (3), a central processing unit (7) and a temporary storage device (6) based on an integrated circuit are provided therein, and all the color sensors ( The wiring connection is made so that the signal of 3) is determined and temporarily stored. The data stored in the temporary storage device (6) is stored in the recording device (1) by a disk write switch (16) provided on the outer surface of the go board.
Wires are arranged so that they can be written on the floppy disk (9) in (0) and can be printed out by the built-in printer (11) by the printer output button (17). Further, a reset button (15) for erasing data in the temporary storage device (6) and restarting is provided.

Second Embodiment Although a drawing is omitted, a second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, instead of the color sensor (3) of the first embodiment, an optical sensor is arranged below the sensing hole (2) of the stone board (1), and the go stone is put on the sensing hole (2). , The sensing hole (2) is closed, the luminous intensity to the optical sensor is changed, and a current change in the optical sensor is caused. The change is received by the central processing unit (7) as a landing signal. However, in the case of the present embodiment, only the landing is detected without discriminating the color of the go stone. Therefore, in the central processing unit (7), for example, the odd rank is black go stone (5) and the even rank is white go stone. What is necessary is just to set (4). Further, in the case of a go-go, a set-stone switch may be prepared, and all the go-stones may be set to the odd number 1. Further, in the case of changing landing, a change switch may be provided. Other operations and operations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

Third Embodiment Although a drawing is omitted, a third embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, instead of the color sensor (3) of the first embodiment, a pressure sensor is disposed directly below the inside of the grid of the stone board (1), which is called all eyes, to detect weak vibration and pressure. Then, a landing signal is sent to the central processing unit (7). Other operations and operations are the same as in the second embodiment.

Embodiment 4 Although illustration is omitted, Embodiment 4 will be described. In this embodiment, magnets having different magnetic flux densities or magnetic poles for discriminating black go stone (5) and white go stone (4) are attached to the go stone itself, and are called all the eyes of the grid of the stone board (1). A magnetic sensor is placed just below the inside of the garbage, and when you land, you can see the black stone (5)
Each signal of the white stone (4) is sent to the central processing unit. Other operations and operations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0010]

According to the present invention, recording the state of landing is an essential matter for professional chess players, and even for amateurs, checking the situation after a game is the best means of improving Go.
However, the landing status of professional chess players was handwritten by several people, and there was no way to do this in amateur games. According to the Go machine equipped with the storage device of the present invention,
Centralized processing by sensors and integrated circuits to determine and record the status of the stones on the stoneboard, and printouts of the status and the order of the stones are possible, so handwriting, which is essential for professional players It is the best way to improve Go because it is possible to cancel the act and allow the amateur to check the situation after the game.
