Remote control toy system, and controller, model and accessory device to be used in the same

Abstract

A remote control toy system includes a plurality of sets. Each set includes a controller, and a model controlled based on data transmitted from the controller so as to correspond to an operation of a user. An accessory device is provided as a device independent from the controllers and models. The accessory device can conduct data communication with the controllers and models. Each of the controllers, the models, and the accessory device includes a radio communication module serving as a device for executing the data communication and can conduct bilateral data communication based on the Bluetooth standards, and a control device for implementing various controls based on data communication conducted through the radio communication module.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a remote control toy system utilizing radio communication, and a controller, a model and an accessory device to be used in the remote control toy system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In typical remote control toys, there is prepared a mechanism for definitely associating a controller with a model to be controlled by the controller by using an identification device, such as carrier frequencies or ID codes, in order to prevent false action of the model from being caused by jamming or the like against user's will. Even in a play form, such as a race or a battle game, premised on the assumption that there are a plurality of models, each model can be controlled accurately by only a controller associated with the model, owing to preparation of such a mechanism. [0003] In Japanese Patent Publication No. 2713603, there is disclosed a remote control toy system including tank models associated with a plurality of c...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a remote control toy system that is advantageous in size reduction of models and colorful plays. The system includes a plurality of sets, each set including a controller, a model, and an accessory device. The accessory device is a separate device that can communicate with the controller and model, and can perform various functions such as exerting influence on the play or conducting a specific procedure. The control device of the controller, model, and accessory device all have a radio communication module for data communication, which allows for mutual connection and various controls. The system also includes a Bluetooth standard for the radio communication modules, which reduces power consumption and battery burden. Overall, the system provides a more efficient and interesting remote control toy system.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the number of communication modules to be mounted on the model is large, and size reduction of the model is limited.

As a result, size reduction of the model is further limited.

In the case where dry cells are actually used as power supply, their consumption is fast and the user's burden is also heavy.
