(overall structure)
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating a sensible radio controlled toy according to this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the sensation-type radio control toy 1 according to this embodiment is a system that allows a user 200 who radio-operates the radio control toy 100 to experience the movement of the radio control toy 100. The user 200 can experience the movement of the radio control toy 100 while operating the transmission controller 110 to wirelessly control the radio control toy 100.

  The radio control toy 100 that is the object of radio control in the present embodiment is a model that is reduced with respect to an actual machine or a mobile body equivalent to the actual machine (hereinafter referred to as “actual machine etc.”). It is a toy made of lightweight materials such as resin, metal, and wood. Examples of the radio control toy 100 include a multicopter, an airplane, an automobile, a helicopter, a ship, a surfboard, a glider, an airship, and a caterpillar car.

  The radio control toy 100 is not physically strong enough to carry a person. The sensation-type radio control toy 1 according to the present embodiment allows the user 200 to experience the movement of the radio control toy 100 as if the user 200 is riding on the radio control toy 100 that the user 200 controls by radio.

  The experience-based radio control toy 1 includes a boarding unit 10 on which a user 200 can be boarded, a drive unit 20 that operates the boarding unit 10, an operation information transmission unit 30 that wirelessly transmits operation information of the radio control toy 100, and operation information. Is received, and the drive control part 50 which controls the drive part 20 based on operation information is provided.

  The boarding unit 10 is a cabin type on which the user 200 can board, and a seat 11 on which the user 200 is seated is provided. When the seat 11 is not provided in the boarding part 10, it is desirable to provide a fixing tool (not shown) such as a belt that can fix the body of the user 200. A display 72 may be disposed in front of the user 200 in the riding section 10.

  The drive unit 20 is provided between the support base 25 and the riding section 10, and can operate the riding section 10 with respect to the support base 25. For the drive unit 20, for example, a drive mechanism including a servo motor 21, a rod 22 that expands and contracts, and a sensor 23 is used. In the present embodiment, as an example, three drive mechanisms (a first drive mechanism 201, a second drive mechanism 202, and a third drive mechanism 203) that rotate the screw mechanism by the servo motor 21 to expand and contract the rod 22 are used. The riding section 10 is supported by three rods 22 that expand and contract in different axial directions.

  The servo motor 21 is controlled by a servo controller 55. The servo controller 55 sends a control signal to each servo motor 21 based on the instruction signal sent from the drive control unit 50. The servo motor 21 is rotated by this control signal to expand and contract the rod 22. In the present embodiment, the riding section 10 operates in various directions depending on the balance of expansion and contraction of the three rods 22.

  In addition, the drive part 20 may be provided so that the further multi-axis movement is possible, and the structure which expands / contracts a rod with hydraulic pressure or air pressure may be sufficient. Further, an arm capable of multi-axis movement may be used. Further, a rotary table (not shown) may be provided between the support base 25 and the drive unit 20 so that the entire riding unit 10 can be rotated in the horizontal direction.

  The motion information transmission unit 30 is a part that wirelessly transmits the motion information of the radio control toy 100 that is wirelessly operated by the user 200. The operation information includes acceleration, angular velocity, motor rotation speed, etc. of the radio control toy 100 during operation. The motion information transmitting unit 30 may include various sensors that detect motion information. Further, the operation information transmitting unit 30 may acquire and transmit the operation information from a sensor provided in advance (incorporated) in the radio control toy 100.

  In the present embodiment, the operation information transmitting unit 30 is attached to the radio control toy 100 so as to be replaceable. In other words, even if the radio control toy 100 is not provided with the operation information transmission unit 30 normally, the operation information transmission unit 30 can be easily attached. The operation information transmission unit 30 is configured as a small package, and is detachably attached to the radio control toy 100 by, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a fastening band, a rubber band, or the like.

  An expansion port (terminal) is provided on the control board incorporated in the radio control toy 100, and the operation information transmitting unit 30 may be connected to the expansion port. From the expansion port, the operation information transmission unit 30 can receive a necessary power supply, and information from a sensor provided in advance in the radio control toy 100 can be received. The operation information transmitting unit 30 may incorporate a battery. In this case, it is not necessary to receive power from the expansion port.

  Since the motion information transmission unit 30 can be replaced, the user 200 can experience the movement of the radio control toy 100 by attaching the motion information transmission unit 30 to the radio control toy 100 that the user 200 wants to wirelessly control. Can easily participate in the system.

  By attaching the motion information transmitting unit 30 to the radio controlled toy 100, information (motion information) regarding motion, such as acceleration, angular velocity, motor rotation speed, etc., in the motion of the radio controlled toy 100 being radio-controlled by the user 200 is obtained by wireless communication. Sent.

  The motion information receiver 40 is a part that receives the motion information transmitted from the motion information transmitter 30. The motion information receiving unit 40 receives the motion information such as acceleration in the movement of the radio control toy 100 transmitted from the motion information transmitting unit 30 by wireless communication, and sends it to the drive control unit 50.

  The drive control unit 50 controls the drive unit 20 based on the operation information received by the operation information receiving unit 40. That is, the movement information of the radio control toy 100 received by the movement information receiving unit 40 is converted from the movement information of the radio control toy 100 into the movement of the riding unit 10 to generate the converted movement of the riding unit 10. Therefore, the operation amount of each servo motor 21 is calculated. Then, the drive control unit 50 sends an operation amount instruction (control signal) of each servo motor 21 to the servo controller 55 from the calculated result. The servo controller 55 outputs a signal for operating each servo motor 21 based on the control signal sent from the drive control unit 50.

  With this configuration, the movement of the radio-controlled toy 100 that is radio-controlled by the user 200 is transmitted from the drive unit 20 to the riding unit 10, and the radio control that is radio-controlled by the user 200 who is boarding the boarding unit 10. The movement of the toy 100 can be experienced.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the wireless communication between the motion information transmitting unit 30 and the motion information receiving unit 40 is different from the wireless communication for the wireless steering between the transmission controller 110 and the radio control toy 100. It has become. For example, radio communication for control transmitted from the transmission controller 110 to the radio control toy 100 includes a frequency band that can be used for control of the radio control toy 100 such as 27 MHz band, 40 MHz band, 72 MHz band, and 2.4 GHz band. The first radio wave W1 is used.

  For the wireless communication between the motion information transmitting unit 30 and the motion information receiving unit 40, a second radio wave W2 of a different system from the first radio wave W1 is used. The first radio wave W1 and the second radio wave W2 may be in the same band or different bands, but the signal systems are different. For example, the circuit system for encoding and decoding the control signal carried by the first radio wave W1 and the circuit system for coding and decoding the operation information signal carried by the second radio wave W2 are different. . As a result, when the user 200 participates in the system of the sensory radio control toy 1, the user 200 does not use the special transmission controller 110 and the radio control toy 100, but uses the transmission controller 110 and the radio control toy 100 that are normally used. You can easily participate in this system.

  Specifically, if the operation information transmission unit 30 is attached to the radio control toy 100 and the radio control toy 100 is radio-controlled by the transmission controller 110 that is normally used only by boarding the boarding unit 10, the radio control toy is obtained. 100 movements can be experienced in the riding section 10.

  In the sensory radio control toy 1 according to this embodiment, the camera unit 60 may be attached to the radio control toy 100. The camera unit 60 includes a camera 61 that acquires at least a moving direction image of the radio controlled toy 100 and a video transmission unit 62 that wirelessly transmits a video signal acquired by the camera 61. The camera unit 60 may also be attached to the radio control toy 100 so as to be replaceable.

  By attaching the camera unit 60, for example, an image in the traveling direction of the radio controlled toy 100 that is wirelessly operated by the user 200 is acquired by the camera 61, and the image signal is wirelessly transmitted from the image transmission unit 62. The video signal is transmitted by the third radio wave W3. The third radio wave W3 is a separate system from the first radio wave W1. The third radio wave W3 may be a different system from the second radio wave W2, or may be the same system as the second radio wave W2. In the case of the same system, the video signal and the operation information may be combined and transmitted.

  The video signal wirelessly transmitted from the camera unit 60 is received by the video receiver 71 of the display unit 70. The video receiver 71 sends the received video signal to the display 72. Thereby, the video acquired by the camera 61 is displayed on the display 72. The display 72 is fixed to the riding section 10 and moves together with the riding section 10.

(Operation method)
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation method of the sensible radio-controlled toy according to this embodiment. For convenience of illustration, the radio control toy is represented as “RC toy” in FIG.
First, calibration is performed (step S101). In this calibration, operation information in a state where the radio control toy 100 is stopped is transmitted by the operation information transmitting unit 30 attached to the radio control toy 100, and a reference for the operation information is set. Specifically, the radio control toy 100 is placed in a horizontal position with respect to an acceleration sensor built in the radio control toy 100 or an acceleration sensor SR1 (see FIG. 4) of a transmission unit 30U (see FIG. 4) described later. Calibrate the direction and magnitude of gravity acceleration in the absence of vibration. Thereby, accurate operation information can be input to the drive control unit 50.

Next, the transmission controller 110 transmits a control signal for operating the radio control toy 100 (step S102).
Next, the radio control toy 100 is operated based on the control signal transmitted from the transmission controller 110 (step S103).
The process from step S102 to step S103 is a process performed when the user 200 performs radio control of the normal radio control toy 100.

Next, the operation information (acceleration, etc.) of the radio controlled toy 100 being wirelessly operated is detected (step S104), and the detected operation information is transmitted by wireless communication from the operation information transmitting unit 30 (step S105).
Next, the transmitted operation information is received by the operation information receiving unit 40 by wireless communication (step S106).
Next, the drive control unit 50 calculates a signal for driving the drive unit 20 from the received operation information (step S107).
Then, the drive unit 20 is operated based on the calculated drive signal (step S108).
Thereby, the riding part 10 moves based on the movement of the radio-controlled toy 100 that is wirelessly operated, and the user 200 can experience the movement of the radio-controlled toy 100 through the movement of the riding part 10.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the operation of the radio controlled toy 100 is finished (step S109). If not finished, the process returns to step S102 and the subsequent processing is repeated. When the maneuver is finished, the operation is finished.

(Use state)
FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the usage state of the sensible radio-controlled toy according to this embodiment.
FIG. 3 illustrates a multicopter 100 </ b> A as the radio control toy 100. The user 200 operates the multi-copter 100 </ b> A by operating the transmission controller 110 in a state where the user 200 is in the riding unit 10. The transmission controller 110 is, for example, a handheld type having a wheel and a trigger. The user 200 sits on the seat 11 of the riding section 10 and wirelessly controls the multicopter 100A while holding the transmission controller 110 by hand.

  The first radio wave W1 is transmitted from the transmission controller 110, and the steering instruction of the user 200 is sent to the multicopter 100A by the first radio wave W1. The multicopter 100A flies by the radio control of the user 200 by the first radio wave W1.

  A camera unit 60 is attached to the multicopter 100 </ b> A, and a display 72 is attached to the riding section 10. Thereby, the image from the multicopter 100A in flight is acquired by the camera 61 and transmitted by the third radio wave W3. When this is received by the video receiving unit 71, for example, a video in the traveling direction during the flight of the multicopter 100 </ b> A is displayed on the display 72. The user 200 who has boarded the boarding unit 10 may perform radio control while viewing the flying multicopter 100 </ b> A, or may perform radio control while viewing an image from the multicopter 100 </ b> A displayed on the display 72.

  While the user 200 operates the transmission controller 110 to wirelessly control the multicopter 100A, the operation information is transmitted by the second radio wave W2 from the operation information transmission unit 30 attached to the multicopter 100A. The operation information is received by the operation information receiving unit 40 and is calculated by the drive control unit 50, whereby the operation of the drive unit 20 is controlled based on the operation information. Thereby, the riding part 10 is moved by the drive part 20 based on the operation information of the multicopter 100A, and the user 200 who is on the riding part 10 moves the movement of the multicopter 100A that is wirelessly controlled by himself / herself. You will be able to experience it.

For example, when the multicopter 100A is lifted, the three rods 22 of the first drive mechanism 201, the second drive mechanism 202, and the third drive mechanism 203 extend to raise the riding section 10. Further, when the multicopter 100A is turned left, for example, the riding section 10 is also inclined corresponding to the inclination accompanying the left turn of the multicopter 100A.
The display 72 displays an image of the traveling direction in which the multicopter 100A is flying.
Thereby, the user 200 can obtain a feeling as if he / she is on the multicopter 100A that he / she controls.

FIG. 4 is a block configuration diagram of the sensory radio control toy according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 4 illustrates an automobile model 100 </ b> B as the radio control toy 100.
An automobile model 100B as the radio control toy 100 includes a control signal receiving unit 1001, a steering servo 1002, and a speed controller 1003.

  When the first radio wave W1 transmitted from the transmission controller 110 is received by the control signal receiving unit 1001, the automobile model 100B controls the steering servo 1002 and the speed controller 1003 by the control signal included in the first radio wave W1. The steering servo 1002 operates the steering of the automobile model 100B, and the speed controller 1003 controls the rotation of a motor that is a driving source of the automobile model 100B. Thereby, the steering and speed of the automobile model 100B are controlled by the operation of the transmission controller 110 by the user 200.

  An operation information transmitter 30 is detachably attached to the automobile model 100B. When participating in the system of the sensation-type radio controlled toy 1 according to the present embodiment, the motion information transmitting unit 30 is attached to the automobile model 100B. The general automobile model 100B is not provided with an acceleration sensor SR1 or a rotation speed sensor SR2 (not incorporated). Therefore, the transmission unit 30U in which the acceleration sensor SR1 and the rotation speed sensor SR2 and the operation information transmission unit 30 are integrated is applied and attached to the automobile model 100B.

  In the automobile model 100B, a control board is attached to the chassis, and an expansion port is provided on the control board. The transmission unit 30U is connected to this expansion port and mounted on the chassis. When the battery is built in the operation information transmitting unit 30, it is not always necessary to connect to the expansion port. Moreover, you may include the angular velocity detected with the gyro sensor (not shown) as operation information. The gyro sensor may be mounted in advance on the automobile model 100B or may be provided in the transmission unit 30U.

  When the user 200 wirelessly controls the car model 100B with the transmission controller 110, the motion information transmitting unit 30 detects the acceleration and the motor rotational speed detected by the acceleration sensor SR1 and the rotational speed sensor SR2 from the motion information transmitting unit 30 as motion information. Wirelessly transmitted with two radio waves W2. When the camera unit 60 is provided in the automobile model 100B, video information acquired by the camera 61 is wirelessly transmitted by the third radio wave W3.

  On the boarding unit 10 side, an operation information receiving unit 40, a drive control unit 50, a video receiving unit 71, and a display 72 are provided. The drive control unit 50 may be included in the control unit 500 that controls the whole. The drive unit 20 that operates the riding unit 10 includes a first drive mechanism 201, a second drive mechanism 202, and a third drive mechanism 203. Each of the first drive mechanism 201, the second drive mechanism 202, and the third drive mechanism 203 has a set of the servo motor 21 and the rod 22 that expands and contracts. The drive unit 20 may have four or more drive mechanisms.

  The sensation-type radio control toy 1 according to the present embodiment may include a switching unit 80 and a sensitivity setting unit 90. The switching unit 80 and the sensitivity setting unit 90 will be described later.

  With such a configuration, the user 200 can experience the movement of the automobile model 100 </ b> B that is wirelessly controlled by himself / herself through the movement of the riding section 10. For example, when the setting of the suspension SU of the automobile model 100B is changed, how the movement of the automobile model 100B changes due to the change, the user 200 rolls, pitches, vibrations, etc. as if the user is driving an actual vehicle. Can be experienced.

(action mode)
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation mode.
When the switching unit 80 is provided in the sensation-type radio control toy 1 according to the present embodiment, the switching unit 80 can select an operation mode according to the type of the radio control toy 100. The type of radio control toy refers to a distinction between forms such as a multicopter, an airplane, an automobile, a helicopter, a ship, and a surfboard.

  The drive control unit 50 performs control to switch the operation of the drive unit 20 based on the operation information according to the operation mode corresponding to the type of the radio control toy 100 selected by the switching unit 80. The operation mode is information indicating a correspondence relationship between the movement of the radio control toy 100 and the movement of the riding section 10. That is, when the radio control toy 100 moves in the pitch direction, for example, it is information for determining the moving amount and moving direction of the riding section 10 corresponding to this movement. Depending on the type of the radio control toy 100, the direction and movement amount of acceleration (angular velocity) when the radio control toy 100 is moving and the direction and movement amount of acceleration (angular velocity) of the riding section 10 for experiencing the radio control toy 100 are changed. Sometimes it is better. Therefore, the operation mode is switched according to the type of the radio control toy 100.

  For example, when the multicopter is selected as the type of the radio controlled toy 100, the operation mode is selected as “pitch: mode MP1”, “yaw: mode MY1”, or “roll: mode MR1”. In the case of a multicopter, it rolls inside the turn during turning. In order to allow the user 200 to experience this state, an operation mode is set in which the movement closest to this feeling is given to the riding section 10.

  On the other hand, when the automobile is selected, “Pitch: Mode MP3”, “Yaw: Mode MY3”, and “Roll: Mode MR3” are selected as the operation mode. In the case of an automobile, the vehicle rolls outward during turning and generates lateral (outside) acceleration. In order to allow the user 200 to experience this state, an operation mode is set in which the movement closest to this feeling is given to the riding section 10. That is, the roll direction of the automobile is opposite to the example of the multicopter described above.

  Thus, the association between the actually detected operation information and the operation of the riding section 10 for experiencing is an operation mode, and this operation mode can be changed depending on the type of the radio control toy 100.

  The setting of the operation mode may be registered by user setting in addition to each type of radio control toy 100. In FIG. 5, the operation modes are individually set for pitch, yaw, and roll. However, the amount of movement and the direction of movement of the riding section 10 are set using parameters such as acceleration (angular velocity) when the radio control toy 100 is moving. A function for determining the function may be assigned as the operation mode.

  Further, the switching of the type of the radio controlled toy 100 by the switching unit 80 may be selected by the user 200 using an icon or the like displayed on the display 72, or automatically based on information transmitted from the operation information transmitting unit 30. You may make it switch to.

(Motion sensitivity)
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining setting of operation sensitivity.
When the sensitivity setting unit 90 is provided in the sensation-type radio control toy 1 according to the present embodiment, the sensitivity setting unit 90 changes at least one of the coefficient related to the operation amount and the coefficient related to the operation acceleration of the drive unit 20. Can do.

  The sensitivity setting unit 90 sets the operation sensitivity of the drive unit 20 based on the operation information corresponding to the scale size of the radio control toy 100. Here, the scale size is a numerical value representing the scale of the radio control toy 100 with respect to the size of an actual machine or the like. For example, the scale size of the radio control toy 100 includes 1/5, 1/8, 1/10, etc.

  The motion sensitivity of the drive unit 20 is a coefficient between the motion information (acceleration and the like) of the radio control toy 100 and the motion amount and motion acceleration of the riding unit 10. For example, when the movement amount is 1: 1, it indicates that the movement amount of the radio control toy 100 and the movement amount of the riding section 10 are the same, and when 1: 5, the movement amount of the radio control toy 100 is shown. It shows that the movement amount of the boarding part 10 is 5 times. Further, when the acceleration is 1: 1, it indicates that the acceleration of the radio control toy 100 and the acceleration of the riding section 10 are the same, and when 1: 5, the boarding is performed with respect to the acceleration of the radio control toy 100. It shows that the acceleration of the part 10 is 5 times.

  The sensitivity setting unit 90 selects the operation sensitivity of the drive unit 20 according to the scale size of the radio control toy 100. For example, when the scale size 1/5 is selected, “sensitivity SV1” is selected as the operation sensitivity. When the scale size 1/27 is selected, “sensitivity SV7” is selected as the operation sensitivity. The larger the scale size parameter, the lower the motion sensitivity. That is, since the movement tends to be more agile as the parameter of the scale size is larger, it is necessary to adjust the movement of the riding section 10 on which the user 200 is boarded.

  When the operation sensitivity is set according to the scale size, the riding section 10 is moved in accordance with the movement when the radio control toy 100 is an actual machine or the like, and the radio control toy 100 is an actual machine or the like to the user 200 You can feel the movement of

  The operation sensitivity setting corresponding to the scale size may be registered by the user. Moreover, you may enable it to set operation sensitivity according to the ratio of the weight of an actual machine etc. and the radio control toy 100 besides the scale size regarding a magnitude | size.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining another operation sensitivity setting.
In FIG. 7, the setting of the operation sensitivity about the radio control toy 100 of the automobile model 100B is shown as an example.
The sensitivity setting unit 90 can select four stages of operational sensitivity of “easy”, “normal”, “sports”, and “racing” for each of on-road and off-road. That is, the operation sensitivity increases stepwise from “Easy” to “Racing”. Depending on the setting of motion sensitivity, even if the motion information (acceleration, etc.) of the automobile model 100B has the same value, the riding section 10 changes from a dull motion to a sharp motion according to the motion sensitivity setting.

  7 illustrates the setting of the operation sensitivity for the automobile model 100B, but the multi-copter 100A and other radio control toys 100 may be configured to select the same stepwise operation sensitivity. .
