- the present invention provides an 'electronic game board 1 10, a USB cable 26, power cord 27 (Figl), a box containing chessman, draughts (object used in a tabletop game) which are uniquely designed for SGCG and two CDs of application software(Standalone and Server based applications).
- the 'electronic game board' 10 has a programmable micro-controller, micro processor or any programmable device (not shows) in it, controlling the activities of the SGCG system.
- the 'electronic game board' 10 can be connected to a computer with the USB cable 26 and powered with the power cord 27.
- the game board can have appropriate design (columns, square of chess, draughts, ludo etc) on it. For the easy explanation, let us call the system including the hardware and software, as Second Generation Computer Games, in short SGCG.
- the standalone application software For the usage in a standalone computer, the standalone application software has to be installed. In case if the device needs to be completely independent from computer, this software can be provided in a flash hard disk or any other similar device mounted inside the SGCG system.
- the Server application software can be used for offering the games of said category in a web or network based environment where players sitting at remote locations can join for the game with the help of the 'electronic game board' 10, connected to the network and the server application installed.
- the electronic game board 10 may be manufactured for the purpose of playing a specific game or the board may be designed to play multipurpose board games. In either case, the board design can be pre-marked (or glued) for a single game or multiple games on the glass epoxy sheet 16 (Figl) which is the outer most layer of the game board 10.
- Objects' Inside the objects of the games of SGCG (105A, 105B Fig 2), there is a permanent magnet with the polarity adjusted in the same direction. (Neodymium magnet can be used for reducing the weight and for high magnetic intensity).
- the chessman, objects of the abalone etc will thereafter referred as Objects'.
- Each of the objects has a glass epoxy lid under, on which an electronically conductive material etching is done with gold plating as shown in fig5.
- the two parts of the etching is connected on the other side of the glass epoxy with the 'double sided plated through hole' printed circuit board (PCB) making technique, with a resistor.
- PCB printed circuit board
- the game does not insist otherwise where different bottom diameter is required.
- a typical chessman may have 19mm bottom diameter and 6 grams of weight.
- the intensity of the permanent magnet kept inside the object could be adjusted not to have repulsion problems with each other.
- the squares of the chessboard may have 40mm sides and there can be a 2mm redline drawn in between all 40mm squares. With these dimensions, a chessman can pass through two chessmen kept in adjoining squares. For the movement of 'knight', captured objects, and during the time of the Castling, Queening etc., it may be required to make an object pass in between two objects kept in the adjoining squares. Similar position may occur in all the games like draughts, ludo, abalone.
- each touch-pad has two circular copper rings etched with gold plating (610A, and 610B Fig. 6) and a gap between the two circular copper rings (620 Fig. 6). Also each touch-pad has separate circuit line etched on the other side of the glass epoxy. When an object comes into the touch-pad the gap 620 (Fig. 6) will be connected through the resislor 510 (Fig.
- each touch-pad of the glass epoxy sheet 10 there is a numbered (addressable) electromagnet mounted on another PCB which can be turned on and off, energized for different voltage and the polarity can be changed with the help of the micro-controller, micro processor or any programmable device to make the object move from touch-pad to touch-pad (Fig 3).
- Bobbin of a typical electromagnet for this purpose can have an 8mm x 8mm hole 701 (Fig. 7) at the center and can be of length 40mm.
- the outer side (720 Fig. 7) can be of 20mm length.
- Transformer Lamination (for core of the magnetic coil) plates of 0.35mm thickness and 8mm x 40mm can be inserted at the center 701 (Fig. 7) for mounting to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Winding wire of 38 swg can be used and 2400 rounds are required for achieving minimum strength for electromagnet.
- TIi e electromagnets could be mounted on a PCB as shown in the coil layout Pattern A (Fig. 8), Pattern B (Fig. 9) or Pattern C (Fig. 10).
- the PCB for electromagnets is designed to address each electromagnet separately. As the objects need to go out of the board, there must be electromagnetic coil outside the squares of the game.
- the PCB on which electromagnets are mounted and the PCB on which the touch-pads are etc bed, are connected to the micro-controller. And the micro controller, according to the program, is turned on/off, change voltage, change polarity of the electromagnets, for making the objects move.
- A2 is energized with voltage 6v (this voltage may also vary according to above mentioned changes) for repulsion by the micro-controller, micro processor or any programmable device.
- the object moves to B3 when the edge of the copper etching (the electrically conductive surface)under the object touches the edge of the touch-pad on B3, that particular circuit gets short and the electromagnet under B3 is turned off by the micro-controller, micro processor or any programmable device and electromagnet C4 is energized for the above said voltage for attraction.
- the object moves to C4.
- electromagnet beneath it is turned off and electromagnet D5 is energized for attraction with the above said voltage. This process continues till it reaches F7.
- Am "her way to program the micro-controller is to energize for attraction all the elec'romagnets under the locus of the path of the object to be moved except the first one (here B3, C4, D5, E6 & F7).
- An initial impetus can be given by energizing the electromagnet under the first touch-pad of the locus (here A2).
- the object starts to move. When the object touches the edge of a touch-pad, the electromagnet beneath it can be turned off. The object will than be under the attraction of the next electromagnet and will continue in the state of motion. The process repeats until the object reaches the destination.
- the movements of object(s) of a game stroke is kept inside [].
- the characters between '[' and ']' represent the movements of one stroke. 1.
- the initial and final positions of an ordinary obj ect are kept inside ' ⁇ ' 1 and ' ⁇ ' . .
- the SGCG system can be used for most of the tabletop games and not uniquely made for chess alone. So there can be SGCG chess and SGCG Ludo etc.(or we can call as eChess, eLudo etc).
- the SGCG can be played in one location , and one player can be the computer itself. (As mentioned earlier, flash hard disk can store the necessary software and be mounted inside the SGCG device to offer the device completely free from computer intervention). A wire less control unit can also be offered (using technologies like infra red, blue tooth etc.).
- the SGCG game can also be played remotely, connected with a computer network or internet where the server application is installed and properly configured in the server computer.
- the accompanying software application has the capability to accept files with a unique extensions (,sgm ) of a particular format which contains numbered questions & answers, graphics, music and voice messages. If the question answer session is enabled in a particular Score Context, question from this file will be displayed in the monitor with graphics, music and voice messages. If the text-to-speech option is enabled the textual question will be read out. If the player who is supposed to get a score at this context, is able to answer the question correctly by pressing a button, he gets extra score benefits which makes more winning possibilities for him. The evaluation of the answer and scoring are done by the application software. Here the competitive spirit shown to win a game is indirectly linked to reinforce the player to learn ' something from a syllabus or of a training session. Asking questions in the different contexts and giving scores properly are done by the computer.
- a unique extensions (,sgm ) of a particular format which contains numbered questions & answers, graphics, music and voice messages.
- the contents of the .sgm files can be anything from a school or university syllabus to information of a specific mass awareness campaign of a corporate company.
- An application program can produce .sgm files which can be utilized by the driver application of the device according to the contextual requirements.
- Tl ⁇ e server application displays a dialog box on the computer monitor on which the player has to select one of the games to play, such as chess, ludo, abalone etc,.
- the player selected the game chess.
- the player needs to select one of the names from the friends, list who are logged in to the website to participate the game.
- the name of the person who initiated the game is Jack and he selected Jill from the friends list.
- the server application immediately sends an invitation of Jack to Jill to play SGCG chess.
- the client module will be downloaded to the Jills computer if Jill is playing SGCG for the first time.
- the client-module checks whether Jill is equipped with SGCG device and ready to start the selected game. If the client-module of Jill's computer finds him to be ready to start the game, a message is displayed on the Jack's monitor to start the game.
- Tiic accompanying program has a module named Rulestngine which works based on a dni abase on which rules of the most commonly known tabletop games are stored.
- the program checks whether the selected game can be played by the number of players entered. If not agreeable, an error message is displayed and the user is given chance to enter correct number of players or to choose another game fit for the number of players present.
- the system starts scanning all the objects required for the game and it checks whether all the objects are kept in the proper initial position. It maintains a set of records in a table named 'CurrentGameStatus'. The records, are kept according to • the position of the object.
- the application program When the application program has confirmed the presence of all required objects, it displays a dialog box for the toss. If it is the context of one player and the computer, then the player can select one of the options, or else the toss program makes a random selection for the first player. If the game selected is for more than two players then 'Choose Direction' dialog box is displayed from which the user can select 'Go clockwise 1 or 'Go anticlockwise' for the occurrence of the turn of players.
- Jack is making a move of the pawn before the King, two squares ahead.
- the movement is uniquely understood by the SGCG system with the help of the touch-pad scanning.
- the removal of the pawn from its initial position and the arrival of it to the new position are noted with the help of the uniquely addressed touch-pads.
- an object is arrived in a new position its resistance is checked for confirmation.
- This event is digitally recorded by the micro-controller in the device according to the SGCG protocol and packed as a Game-stroke. Now the current Game-stroke for the currently selected game at Jack's computer is transmitted and it goes to the client module of Jack through the USB, then to the client program on Jill's computer through the; server application on the website.
- the client program on Jill's computer sends the message to micron-controller through the USB and the micro-controller realizes the values; as per the SGCG Protocol and makes movement accordingly.
- the client module passes the instruction to the micro-controller it gives the instruction as a stream of characters representing the proper circuit numbers to be turned off/on, polarity changed or resistance checked. This is achieved through the delimiters, defined in the protocol. Now it is the turn for Jill to play.
- the movement of chessman in Jill's device is noted in the same manner and transmitted to Jack's computer.
- the 'Rulestngine' remains in the client machine and is frequently contacted to know the context according to the currently selected game.
- the game needs to be adjourned before completion, it can be saved at any time by saving the CurrentGameStatus table as an .xml document and restored later if required.
- the CurrentGameStatus table Just before restoring a previously saved game, all the objects have to be placed on the board as normal. As soon as the restore command is given, all the objects will automatically move to their respective positions on the board as per the previously saved context. And all the passed coins will move out of the board.
- the SGCG server application can be offered as a service along with the Messenger Service or an independent service in the web or in a local network.
- the server application coming along with the SGCG has to be properly installed in the server of the website which offers the SGCG.
- the client module is downloaded with the permission of the user and resides in the user's computer ready to record the necessary data during the game and do some input data validations giving instant replies.
- Working of stand alone application - In the stand alone application the computer can take the role of a player. It makes random response according the skill level selected. The players' movements are keenly noted any illegal movements are denied In most of the contexts it behaves like the server application, instead of reproducing object movements in remote location, it produces a reply movement in the local machine.
- the size, shape and symbols of the game board can be varied according to the requirements of different kinds of game board.
- USB Wireless Fidelity
- WiFi connectivity can be used for codeless operation.
