Also, two each of projecting pieces 14f are provided at the top and bottom of the front side mounted body 17f Each projecting piece 14f projects piercing the front body outer shell 10f.

FIG. 4 is a rear side perspective view of the action robot toy 100 in a state with the rear body outer shell 10r removed seen from diagonally above.

A rear side mounted body 17r is provided on the rear half of the robot main body 10. A partition plate 40 such as a board is attached to this rear side mounted body 17r. Provided on the partition plate 40 are buttons 19, 20 and a knob 21 for operating a corresponding switch, and a charging terminal 22. The buttons 19, 20, the knob 21, and the charging terminal 22 are exposed when the swing door 10a is opened. A battery (not illustrated) that is charged through the charging terminal 22 is provided on the rear side of the partition plate 40.

Also, a speaker 23 is attached to the rear side mounted body 17r. Furthermore, two each of the projecting pieces 14r are provided at the top and bottom of the rear side mounted body 17r. Each projecting piece 14r projects piercing the rear body outer shell 10r. Each of the four projecting pieces 14f and projecting pieces 14r are for stabilizing the orientation of the action robot toy 100.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an operating device of the action robot toy 100. With this drawing, the rear side half of the rotating member is removed.

The action robot toy 100 comprises: a left first rotating piece rotation device 31L (an example of the first rotation part) for rotating the left first rotating piece 11L; a right first rotating piece rotation device 31R for rotating the right first rotating piece 11R; a left second rotating piece rotation device 32L (an example of the second rotation part; the combination of the left first rotating piece rotation device 31L and the left second rotating piece rotation device 32L is an example of the first rotation device) for rotating the left second rotating piece 12L; and a right second rotating piece rotation device 32R for rotating the right second rotating piece 12R. The left first rotating piece rotation device 31L, the right first rotating piece rotation device 31R, the left second rotating piece rotation device 32L, and the right second rotating piece rotation device 32R are respectively configured from individual servo mechanisms. Each servo mechanism comprises a servo motor, and an encoder that measures the rotation position using a sensor and outputs position information as an electrical signal. It is also possible to use a rotation position detection unit such as a potentiometer instead of the encoder. Here, the rotation position detection unit, in addition to being used for position control of the first rotating pieces 11 and the second rotating pieces 12, can also be used to detect the position of the first rotating pieces 11 and the second rotating pieces 12 and register the movement of the action robot toy 100.

The left first rotating piece rotation device 31L and the right first rotating piece rotation device 31R are provided on a joint J1 inside the robot main body 10. Meanwhile, the left second rotating piece rotation device 32L and the right second rotating piece rotation device 32R are provided on a joint J2

Also, a body rotating device 33 for rotating the robot main body 10 is provided in the center of the robot main body 10. This body rotating device 33 comprises a motor 33a installed vertically, and a gear mechanism 34 linked to the motor 33a. With this body rotating device 33, the motor power is transmitted to a rotary plate 35 via gears 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d, 34e, 34f, 34g, and 34h. The rubber plate 15 is adhered to the bottom surface of the rotary plate 35. Also, when the motor 33a is operated, the rotary plate 35 tries to rotate, but the rubber plate 15 is gripping the play surface (ground plane), so without the rubber plate 15 rotating, the motor 33a and thus the robot main body 10 rotate by reaction.

First Rotating Piece 11 and Second Rotating Piece 12

The joint J1 of the robot main body 10 and the first rotating piece 11 is formed by linking an output shaft 31a (an example of first and second shafts) of the first rotating piece rotation device 31 and a rotating shaft 11a of the first rotating piece 11.

Also, the joint J2 of the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 is a cylindrical shape having a center axis extending at a right angle to the rotation plane of the second rotating piece 12. This allows for smooth sliding on the ground plane with rotation.

Also, the tip end part of the second rotating piece 12 also has a cylindrical shape having a center axis extending at a right angle to the rotation plane of the second rotating piece 12. This allows for smooth sliding on the ground plane with rotation.

FIG. 7 shows the control configuration of the action robot toy 100.

The action robot toy 100 comprises as the control configuration a central processing unit 70, a main storage device 71a, and an auxiliary storage device 71b.

The central processing unit 70 comprises a control device 70a and an arithmetic unit 70b.

Prescribed programs and various data are stored in the auxiliary storage device 71b. As programs, a setting registration and playback program, etc. are stored. As data, data needed for executing each program, a plurality of music data, and operation data, etc., are stored. Music data and operation data stored in advance are associated 1 to 1. This associated music data and operation data are used during a demonstration mode, and it is possible to make the action robot toy 100 do an action (dancing) suited to the music. Also, as operation data, a plurality of templates are prepared. The templates are used during free dance mode. Music data and operation data can also be additionally stored in the auxiliary storage device 71b.

The central processing unit 70 reads the programs and various data as appropriate and executes control and calculation. The main storage device 71a is a part that becomes a work area, and programs and various data are temporarily stored as needed.

Also, the action robot toy 100 comprises: a switch 72a operated by the knob 21; switches 72b, 72c operated by the buttons 19, 20; encoders 73a to 73d included in the servo mechanism; and a push switch 74 placed on the head of the action robot toy 100. The switch 72a is a power switch, and switches 72b, 72c are variable definition type switches. Specifically, the switches 72b, 72c function as a determination button, a selection button, a reset button, etc., according to the program being executed. The push switch 74 is used to set and register the movement of the robot main body 10.

Also, the action robot toy 100 comprises: a transceiver 75; a sound output unit 76; the light output unit 77; the motor 33a; servo motors 78a to 78d included in each rotation device; and a microphone 79. The transceiver 75 performs communication with a dedicated controller, or a smart phone or tablet using Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc. The light output unit 77 is configured including the light emitting diode, and the sound output unit 76 is configured including the speaker 23. The microphone 79 is an item for picking up external sound.

How to Play, and Action

Four modes of how to play with this action robot toy 100 are prepared. Each mode is explained hereafter. Selection of the mode is performed by operating the selection button or the determination button.

1. Free Dance Mode

This free dance mode is a mode in which the action robot toy 100 performs free dancing to music.

With this free dance mode, as music, it is possible to use music output from a smart phone, etc., for example. Of course, it is also possible to use music based on music data stored in the auxiliary storage device 71b of the action robot toy 100.

With this free dance mode, when music plays, a template is selected from among the operation data stored in the auxiliary storage device 71b, the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 are moved based on that template, and the action robot toy 100 performs free dancing.

In this case, with the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12, it is possible to select one template, and to repeat movement based on that one template until the music ends, and also possible to have the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 move while exchanging the templates until the music ends, having the action robot toy 100 perform free dancing.

2. Control Mode

This control mode is a mode that moves the action robot toy 100 in real time by the player operating an outside controller. At this time as well, it is preferable to play music the same as when in the free dance mode.

With this control mode, as the outside controller, it is possible to use a dedicated controller 90, or a smart phone 92 or a tablet.

An example of the dedicated controller 90 is shown in FIG. 8. In the same drawing, code 92 shows a smart phone for playing music.

When using this dedicated controller 90, sliding knobs 91a to 91d having 1 to 1 correspondence for each of the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 are operated forward and back as appropriate. Having done that, an operation signal corresponding to the operation direction and the operation amount is transmitted to the action robot toy 100 from the dedicated controller 90, and at the action robot toy 100 that received that operating signal, the corresponding first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 are moved according to the operating direction and operation amount of the knobs 91a to 91d. In this case, for sending and receiving of signals, for example, Bluetooth which is a short-range communication standard is used, so pairing is required before sending and receiving.

Meanwhile, when using the smart phone 92 or a tablet instead of the dedicated controller 90, when an operation application is installed in advance in the smart phone 92 or the tablet, an operation screen is displayed on the screen by that operation application, and a prescribed operation can be performed on that operation screen.

3. Program Mode

With this program mode, the player programs and sets and registers the movement of the action robot toy 100 in advance, and the action robot toy 100 is made to perform that set and registered movement. At this time as well, it is preferable to play music in the same manner as when in the free dance mode.

As a method for setting and registering in this case, though not particularly limited, there are roughly two methods that are possible.

The first method is a method of setting and registering directly to the action robot toy 100. In this case, the setting and registration is performed according to voice guidance output from the sound output unit 76.

In specific terms, the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 of the action robot toy 100 are actually moved until the desired form is reached, and when the desired form of the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 is reached, the push switch 74 is pressed via the head. By doing this, one form of the action robot toy 100 is registered as data. By performing this kind of operation a plurality of times, the movements of the action robot toy 100 are registered in the form of operation data in the auxiliary storage device 71b. When there is a wish to input rotation of the robot main body 10 midway, for example, it is possible to press the head of the action robot toy 100, or to press the button 19, etc., without operating the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12, and also preferable to make it so that selection of the playback speed of the movement by the action robot toy 100 can be done by operating a specific button.

The second method is a method of using the dedicated controller 90 or a smart phone or a tablet to do setting and registering.

When using the dedicated controller 90, the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 of the action robot toy 100 are actually moved until a desired form is reached, and a first button (determination button) 93a is pressed when the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 reach the desired form. By doing this, one form of the action robot toy 100 is registered as data. This operation is performed a plurality of times, and by pressing the second button to fourth button (determination buttons) 93b to 93d in order, the determination signals are successively transmitted to the action robot toy 100, and the movement of the action robot toy 100 is registered in the form of operation data in the auxiliary storage device 71b. When there is a desire to input rotation of the robot main body 10 midway, for example, the head of the action robot toy 100 is pressed. Having done that, the push switch 74 is operated, and the rotation of the robot main body 10 is set and registered. In this case, when the head of the action robot toy 100 is pressed once, the action robot toy 100 is rotated in one direction by half a circumference midway in dancing, and when the head is pressed twice, the action robot toy 100 may be rotated by one full circumference in one direction midway in dancing. Also, instead of pressing the head of the action robot toy 100, by operating a specific button of the dedicated controller 90, rotation of the robot main body 10 is set, small round trip rotation is set, or alternatively, it is also possible to set rotation in the reverse direction. It is preferable to make it possible to select the playback speed of the movement by the action robot toy 100 by operating a specific button.

Meanwhile, when doing setting and registering using the smart phone 92 or the tablet, a registration application is installed in advance in the smart phone 90 or the tablet, and a registration screen is displayed on the screen using that registration application. A plurality of sample images of the form of the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 are displayed on this registration screen, for example. Also, a plurality of modes of the rotation of the robot main body 10 are displayed. Therefore, the player selects the form of the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 or the mode of the rotation of the robot main body 10 from among the sample images on the screen. By performing this a plurality of times, the movement of the action robot toy 100 is set. Also, the results of that setting are transmitted to the action robot toy 100. By doing this, the movement of the action robot toy 100 is set and registered.

With this program mode, the first rotating piece 11 and the second rotating piece 12 are moved in order of setting and registration based on the set and registered motion data. In this case as well, it is preferable to make it possible to set the playback speed on the screen.

4. Demonstration Mode

This demonstration mode has the action robot toy 100 perform movement using operation data that has been associated with music data.

With this demonstration mode, together with playback of music, the action robot toy 100 performs movement suited to that.

Above, we explained an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the abovementioned embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible.

For example, with the abovementioned embodiment, a case of attaching the second rotating pieces 12 on the tip end parts of the first rotating pieces 11 was explained, but it is also possible to have only the first rotating pieces 11. This is because with only the first rotating pieces 11 as well, the rotation range is broad, and being able to raise up the robot main body 10 gives an element of surprise, making it is possible to provide an interesting action robot toy 100.

Also, with the abovementioned embodiment, the player was able to set the rotation of the robot main body 10, but it is also possible to have rotation of the robot main body 10 performed when the first rotating pieces 11 and the second rotating pieces 12 are in a prescribed form, and also possible to have rotation of the robot main body 10 performed irregularly.

Also, with the abovementioned embodiment, the form of both the first rotating pieces 11 and the second rotating pieces 12 was set and registered, but it is also possible to set and register only the form of the first rotating pieces 11, and to have the second rotating pieces 12 do automatic reciprocating rotation when the first rotating pieces 11 are in a prescribed form.

Effect of the Invention

The two rotating members are rotated vertically, and when rotated downward, this is recognized as a leg touching ground, and when upward, this is recognized as a hand. In this way, each rotating member becomes a leg or a hand, so the structure is simple. Also, when the rotating member is positioned downward, it is possible to lift up the robot main body, so it is possible to realize a novel action robot toy.

With the second means, the configuration is such that the tip end parts abut each other when the tip end parts of the two rotating members rise simultaneously, so it is possible to exude an image like hands clapping above the head.

With the third means, the robot main body is a spherical body, so it is possible to play even if upside down.

With the fourth means, using a projecting piece, the plane including two shafts is parallel to the ground plane, so it is possible to have stable action.

With the fifth means, the robot main body itself is configured to rotate, so it is possible to increase the variations in action.

With the sixth means, it is possible for the player to be involved in the movement of the action robot toy, so it is possible to realize a highly interesting action robot toy.

With the seventh means, it is possible to set the movement by actually moving the two rotating members in a desired form, so it is possible to perform settings intuitively.

With the eighth means, it is possible to have the action robot toy perform action together with music, so it is possible to realize a more highly interesting action robot toy.

With the ninth means, since each rotating member is configured from the first rotating piece and the second rotating piece, compared to a case of being configured by a single member, it is possible to have more delicate and complex action.

With the tenth means, it is possible for the player to be involved in the movement of the action robot toy, so it is possible to realize a more highly interesting action robot toy.

With the eleventh means, it is possible to have the robot main body roll by having the first rotating piece and the second rotating piece be in a prescribed position, so it is possible to increase the variation in actions.
