Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates generally to a puzzle system capable of cooperating
with an external device. More particularly, it relates to a puzzle system capable
of cooperating with an external device, whereby a user's continuous interest can be
stimulated by automatically detecting a type of puzzle that includes a plurality of
puzzle pieces, and expressing various implementation operations corresponding to the
puzzle when the puzzle is completed.
Background Art
[0002] In general, a puzzle with a picture or text is configured such that a user coherently
places a plurality of puzzle pieces on a main body, such as a board, so as to complete
a picture or text using the puzzle pieces having partial pictures or text thereon
[0003] The pictures used for the puzzle are designed and printed based on pictures or photographs
of animation characters, and the puzzle is used as a game tool for children to play
with or as a learning tool by dividing text into many pieces.
[0004] However, the conventional puzzle is problematic in that users soon tire of the puzzle
after playing a few times and do not play again for a long time.
[0005] For this reason, various technologies have been developed in order to induce continuous
interest of users. An example of such a technology is disclosed in Korean Patent No.
10-1005344, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, wherein the document relates to a puzzle toy including:
a set of pieces 20 including a plurality of component pieces 22; and a main body 30
that accommodates the set of pieces 20 therein, wherein each of the component pieces
22 has a back surface on which a plurality of lattices 26 is formed. The main body
30 includes: light-emitting elements 32 arranged to correspond to the respective lattices
26 and emit light toward the lattices 26; light-receiving elements 34 for sensing
the light reflected by the lattices 26; a signal analyzing unit 36 that determines
colors of the lattices 26 by the signals sensed by the light-receiving elements 34
and outputs signals for the lattices 26; a feedback call unit 37 which analyzes output
signals for each of the lattices 26, received from the signal analyzing unit 36, recognizes
the lattice arrangement of the set of pieces 20, and determines whether the assembly
for the set of pieces 20 is completed and the type of the set of pieces 20 upon completion
of the placement of the set of pieces 20; and a feedback processing unit 38 that outputs
information on the set of pieces 20 completed by the signal received from the feedback
call unit 37.
[0006] A technology disclosed in Korean Patent No.
10-1005344 is advantageous in that a location of each of the component pieces 22 is detected
by the light-emitting elements 32 and the light-receiving elements 34, and it is possible
to determine whether each of the component pieces 22 is located at a correct place,
and thus it is possible to easily check whether the puzzle is completed, and also
a sound or an image is output upon completion of placement of the puzzle. However,
in order to check that each piece is located at the correct place, it is required
that the main body 30 should be provided with a plurality of light-emitting elements
32 and the light-receiving elements 34, and thereby the configuration may be complex
and manufacturing cost may be increased.
[0007] The conventional puzzle toy is further problematic in that a sound or an image is
output only from the puzzle main body, so users soon tire of the puzzle after playing
a few times and do not play again for a long time.

illustrating a puzzle system capable of cooperating with an external device according
to a further another embodiment of the present invention.
[0034] The present invention relates to the puzzle system capable of cooperating with an
external device, wherein as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the puzzle system includes: a puzzle
device 100 transmitting a detection signal by detecting that placement of a plurality
of puzzle pieces 160 used to complete a puzzle is completed; and an implementation
device 200 operating in response to the signal transmitted from the puzzle device
100.
[0035] Herein, the puzzle device 100 includes: a frame 110 having a placement face, on which
a plurality of puzzle pieces 160 is placed; a detection module 140 detecting completion
of placement of the puzzle pieces 160; and a main communication module 120 transmitting
a signal detected by the detection module 140 to the implementation device 200.
[0036] Here, the frame 110 is provided with an operation button 148 at a side thereof, wherein
when a user presses the operation button 148 after assembling the puzzle pieces 160,
the detection module 140 determines whether the puzzle pieces 160 are located at correct
places and completed, and in the case where the puzzle is completed, the detection
signal including a success message is transmitted to the implementation device 200
through the main communication module 120, and then the implementation device 200
implements a motion corresponding to the signal.
[0037] Further, the detection module 140 includes: an input terminal 142 provided outside
the placement face 112 formed in the frame 110 and supplying electric current to the
puzzle pieces 160; and an output terminal 144 provided outside the placement face
112 and detecting electric current output from the puzzle pieces 160.
[0038] Herein, the puzzle pieces 160 are provided with wiring lines 162 connecting neighboring
puzzle pieces 160, wherein the wiring lines 162 may be respectively provided in the
puzzle pieces 160, or be provided in some of the puzzle pieces 160.
[0039] Thereby, when a user presses the operation button 148 provided in the frame 110,
the electric current is supplied to a puzzle piece 160 being in contact with the input
terminal 142 through the input terminal 142, then the electric current circulates
along the wiring lines 162 provided in the puzzle pieces 160, and then the electric
current is output through a puzzle piece 160 being in contact with the output terminal
144, so when all the puzzle pieces 160 are located at the correct places, the electric
current from the input terminals 142 is output to the output terminal 144, whereby
it is possible to recognize the completion of placement of the pieces of the puzzle,
and on the contrary, when the electric current is not output to the output terminal
144, it is possible to recognize that the puzzle pieces 160 are not located at the
correct places.
[0040] Thus, the completion detection signal or the incompletion detection signal is transmitted
to the implementation device 200 through the main communication module 120 provided
in the frame 110 such that the implementation device 200 implements a motion corresponding
to the signal, whereby it is possible to induce a user's interest.
[0041] In other words, in the case of the completion detection signal, the implementation
device implements a corresponding motion to the puzzle, and on the contrary, in the
case where of the incompletion detection signal, a message, such as "Sorry, but find
a missing place, please", is output such that the puzzle is completed, and accordingly
users can enjoy the puzzle more.
[0042] Meanwhile, the input terminal 142 and the output terminal 144 provided outside the
placement face 112 may be respectively provided on different surfaces of the placement
face 112, as shown in FIG. 5, or be respectively provided in different portions of
the same surface of the placement face, as shown in FIG. 6.
[0043] Of course, the input terminal 142 and the output terminal 144 may be provided outside
on the entire of the placement face 112.
[0044] Further, the input terminal 142 and the output terminal 144 are respectively provided
in plural, wherein when the operation button 148 provided in the frame 110 is pressed,
one of the input terminals 142 and one of the output terminals 144 are operated.
[0045] Herein, the detection module 140 is further provided with a determination part 146,
wherein when the combination of the input terminals 142 and the output terminals 144
operated when the operation button 148 is pressed, the determination part determines
which type of puzzle a puzzle currently placed on the placement face 112 is, whereby
the detection signal including information on the puzzle is transmitted to the implementation
device 200 via the main communication module 120, and accordingly the implementation
device 200 implements a motion corresponding to the information included in the detection
signal, thereby inducing a user's interest.
[0046] Meanwhile, the implementation device 200 is made into a toy or an electronic device,
and provided in singular or in plural, wherein each device is provided with a sub-communication
module 230 capable of receiving the detection signal transmitted wirelessly or by
wire from the main communication module 120 provided in the puzzle device 100.
[0047] Accordingly, the implementation device 200 is configured such that in the case of
the toy, a motion unique to the toy is implemented according to the detection signal,
or in the case of the electronic device, an image or a sound corresponding to the
detection signal is output, thereby inducing a user's interest.
[0048] Further, in the case where the implementation device 200 is constituted by a plurality
of devices rather than a single device, a plurality of implementation devices 200
includes a main device 210 and a sub-device 220, and each of the devices 210 and 220
is provided with the sub-communication module 230.
[0049] Herein, when the puzzle device 100 transmits the detection signal via the main communication
module 120, the main device 210 receives the detection signal, and the main device
210 transmits a control signal about a function that the sub-device 220 implements
corresponding to the received detection signal, to each sub-device 220 via the sub-communication
module 230, and accordingly not only the main device 210 but also each sub-device
220 implements a motion corresponding to the detection signal simultaneously or sequentially,
and thus users are more interested in the puzzle.
[0050] Here, a plurality of implementation modes are stored in the main device 210 so as
to correspond to a puzzle placed on the placement face 112 of the frame 110, wherein
the implementation modes combine functions that the main device and the sub-device
can perform so as to form control signals (control command) implemented simultaneously
or sequentially.
[0051] Thus, for example, when the main device 210 is a smart pad, the sub-device is various
toys, and a puzzle shows a picture of a user's favorite character, the puzzle device
100 transmits the completion detection signal to the implementation device 200 by
detecting the completion of placement of the puzzle pieces 160, and the implementation
device 200 outputs a video clip and a sound corresponding to the character of the
puzzle, from the main device 210 by detecting the signal and transmits a control signal
to the sub-device 220 having a corresponding character such that only the sub-device
220 having the corresponding character implements a motion unique to the toy, whereby
the puzzle device 100 cooperates with the main device 210 and the sub-device 220 constituting
the implementation device, and thus users are more interested in the puzzle.
[0052] Further, the present invention may be configured such that the puzzle pieces 160
showing a variety of contents are used in one frame 110, so information on the puzzle
pieces 160 is automatically detected without creating a setting for each of the puzzle
pieces 160, and accordingly it is easy to use the puzzle.
[0053] Further, the frame 110 is provided with an additional power part 130, wherein the
power part 130 may use a battery or an outer power source.
[0054] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
FIGS. 8 and 9, the puzzle device 100 includes: a plurality of puzzle pieces 170; a
frame 110 having a placement face 112, on which the plurality of puzzle pieces 170
is placed; and a detection module 150 detecting completion of placement of the puzzle
pieces 170.
[0055] Herein, the detection module 150 includes: a detection sensor 152 provided at a first
side of the placement face 112; and an operation bar 154 provided at a second side
of the placement face 112, wherein the operation bar 154 pushes the puzzle pieces
170 placed on the placement face 112, toward the detection sensor 152.
[0056] Here, of the plurality of puzzle pieces 170, one or more puzzle pieces adjacent to
the detection sensor 152 are provided with detection protrusions 172 protruding toward
the detection sensor 152 such that when the operation bar 154 pushes the puzzle pieces,
the detection protrusion 172 is inserted into the corresponding detection sensor 152.
[0057] Further, the detection sensor 152 is provided with a plurality of insertion switches
153 each corresponding to each of the detection protrusions 172, whereby when the
operation bar 154 is operated to move the placed puzzle pieces 170, and the detection
protrusions 172 provided in the puzzle pieces 170 are inserted into the corresponding
insertion switches 153, the detection sensor 152 senses the insertion switches 153
that the detection protrusions 172 are inserted into.
[0058] Herein, the detection module 150 is provided with a determination part 156, wherein
the determination part 156 determines contents of the puzzle placed on the placement
face 112 of the frame 110 according to a combination of locations of the detection
protrusions 172 sensed by the detection sensor 152.
[0059] Thereby, a detection signal including the contents of the puzzle, which are detected
by the detection module 150, is transmitted to the implementation device 200 via the
main communication module 120 such that the implementation device 200 implements a
motion corresponding to the contents of the puzzle.
[0060] Meanwhile, the other configuration is the same as the above described configuration,
so a description thereof will be omitted.
[0061] Further, according to a further another embodiment of the present invention, as shown
in FIG. 10, the puzzle system includes: a puzzle device 100 transmitting a detection
signal by detecting that a plurality of puzzle pieces 160 forming a puzzle is completed;
and an implementation device 200 operating in response to the signal transmitted from
the puzzle device 100.
[0062] Herein, not shown in the drawings but as in the embodiment described above, the puzzle
device 100 is provided with a determination part 146, 156 determining which type of
puzzle is being placed and whether the puzzle is completed or not, wherein the determination
part 146, 156 is provided with implementation modes for controlling the implementation
device 200.
[0063] Here, the implementation modes combine functions of the electronic devices 210 and
220 constituting the implementation device 200 such that the functions are implemented
sequentially or simultaneously.
[0064] Further, the puzzle device 100 is provided with a speaker 182 outputting a unique
sound and an LED 184 emitting various lights, wherein the implementation modes may
further include a control signal controlling the speaker 182 and the LED 184 provided
in the puzzle device 100.
[0065] Accordingly, when the determination part 146 and 156 of the puzzle device 100 senses
the completion of placement of the puzzle, and transmits the control signal, which
controls the functions of the electronic devices 210 and 220 constituting the implementation
device 200 according to the implementation modes, to the sub-communication module
230 provided in the implementation device 200 through the main communication module
120 such that the implementation device 200 operates in response to the puzzle.
[0066] Herein, the puzzle device 100 transmits the control signal for controlling each function
forming the implementation modes, to one of the electronic devices 210 and 220 constituting
the implementation device 200, and the one of the electronic devices 210 and 220 implements
the function and then directly transmits the control signal to one of the electronic
devices 210 and 220, which is designated to perform a next function.
[0067] Accordingly, each of the electronic devices 210 and 220 constituting the implementation
device 200 implements functions set in the implementation modes sequentially or simultaneously
by cooperating with each other.
[0068] Here, the implementation modes may be stored in each of the electronic devices 210
and 220 constituting the implementation device 200, or may transmit the control signal
by storing the information on the entire implementation device in the control signal
when transmitting the control signal.
[0069] Of course, when the puzzle device 100 senses the completion of placement of the puzzle
without cooperating with the implementation device 200, the contents corresponding
to the puzzle may be output through the speaker 182 provided in the puzzle device
100 or through the LED 184.
[0070] Further, the puzzle device 100 may transmit the control signal for controlling the
each function forming the implementation modes, directly to each of the electronic
devices 210 and 220 and controls the electronic devices.
[0071] Meanwhile, the other configuration is the same as the above described configuration,
so a description thereof will be omitted.
[0072] Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative
purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions
and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the
invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
