Abstract

An integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game includes an electronic equipment, at least one camera unit, an electronic monitor, an operation unit, a remote control signal output device, a horn, and a controlled object. Thus, when the operation unit inputs an operation signal into the electronic equipment, by decoding and calculation of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment drives the remote control signal output device to transmit a wireless signal to drive and control movement of the remote control toy, so that the user or controller can operate the true toy on the electronic monitor so as to achieve a virtual reality amusement.

Claims

1. An integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game, comprising:

an electronic equipment that can decode and calculate data of an input signal, can execute a logic operation according to preset parameters and can judge if to execute a command of a controller or to forcibly stop the command of the controller;

at least one camera unit connected with the electronic equipment to transmit a video signal to the electronic equipment and including two cameras;

an electronic monitor connected with the electronic equipment to receive a video signal transmitted by the electronic equipment and to indicate multiple divided operation windows;

an operation unit connected with the electronic equipment to transmit an input signal to the electronic equipment;

a remote control signal output device connected with the electronic equipment to transmit a remote control signal by a wireless transmission;

a controlled object controlled by the remote control signal output device and having an inner portion containing a power actuating module and a signal receiving module;

a horn connected with the electronic equipment to transmit an audio signal during operation of the controlled object.

2. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein

the electronic equipment can judge and directly execute the command of the controller;

the electronic equipment can judge and forcibly stop the command of the controller so as to execute a forcible command under a preset condition.

3. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the two cameras of the camera unit are spaced from each other.

4. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the two cameras of the camera unit have viewing angles that are parallel with each other.

5. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the two cameras of the camera unit have viewing angles that are non-parallel with each other.

6. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the two cameras align with an operable zone that is defined by an overlapped portion of the viewing angles the two cameras and is reachable by the remote control signal of the remote control signal output device.

7. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 6, wherein the operable zone has a sector shape and has a radius that is equal to or smaller than an effective distance of the remote control signal of the remote control signal output device.

8. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein

the operation windows of the electronic monitor have pictures that are taken from the two cameras;

the operation windows of the electronic monitor can be switched into a fantasy space coordinate or a fantasy scene which is taken from a position in front of the two cameras.

9. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 8, wherein the fantasy scene of the operation windows of the electronic monitor is taken from a position of the controlled object.

10. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 8, wherein the fantasy scene of the operation windows of the electronic monitor is taken from a reference point in the operable zone, and the reference point is directed toward the moving controlled object.

11. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the integration interface comprises a single camera unit.

12. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the integration interface comprises at least two camera units.

13. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 12, wherein the at least two camera units are arranged in a concentric manner.

14. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 12, wherein the at least two camera units are arranged in a non-concentric manner.

15. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the operation unit is a keyboard, push button, mouse, rocker lever or contact monitor.

16. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the operation windows of the electronic monitor are controlled by the electronic equipment to indicate a travel path of the controlled object so that the controlled object is controlled by the electronic equipment to move along the travel path automatically.

17. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the operation unit has function keys to operate and control at least two controlled objects which are controlled by at least two different remote control signal output devices and are moved in the same operable zone.

18. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 17, wherein

at least two controllers can operate the at least two controlled objects to compete with each other;

a single controller can compete with the electronic equipment;

the at least two controlled objects are controlled by the electronic equipment to compete with each other.

19. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 1, wherein the operation unit has function keys to operate and control at least two controlled objects which are controlled by at least two different remote control signal output devices and are moved in at least two operable zones.

20. The integration interface of a remote control toy and an electronic game of claim 19, wherein
