Definitions
- This invention relates to an article of use incorporating a generator of random forecasts which, in addition to its specific usual utilization function, is adapted to generate a random forecast in simple and reliable manner, after a possible selection of the forecast type, as well as a visual and/or acoustic annunciation of the so generated forecast.
- the so-called forecast based games are extremely popular in many countries of the world. This occurs, for instance in Italy, where the remarkable success reached by these games encourages the managing authorities in promoting always new award games, such as the recent and very popular Enalotto.
- the most popular award games in Italy which will be related to hereinafter only by way of illustration, are Lotto, Enalotto, SuperEnalotto, Totocalcio, Totogol, Totip and Tris, and, on the other hand, further award games connected with sport events are already being proposed, such as a game based upon the forecasts in car races of "Formula 1 ".
- One of the most popular play methods performed by players is a method based upon random forecasts of the concerned events. This method enables the number of players to be noticeably enlarged, since not all of them are perfectly aware of the play rules (reference is made to the different ways aimed at making the so called "system” forecasts in various forecast based games). In this frame, it is known that many players rely upon sets of random forecasts prepared and offered to sale in receiving offices authorized to receiving the bets.
- the receiving offices by which a big number of bets are handled are also the receiving offices where it is * more likely to have a pre-compiled card available for purchase, but this also entails the disadvantage that the players are obliged to wait for long times, due to the noticeable work burden of such receiving offices: this discourages many potential players from participating to many forecast based games.
- said visual annunciator can be realized as a display, adapted to preferably allow at least a row and at least a column, and even more preferably a 14 row by 2 column matrix to be visualized. Also according to this invention, said visual annunciator can be realized as a LED diode annunciator.
- said microprogrammed electronic component is a microprocessor or a digital signal processor adapted to generate acoustic signals and to control the visual and/or acoustic annunciator.
- the translatory movement of the selector push-button can be provided with a longitudinal rest position.
- said electronic unit and/or said display can be switched on by means of an operation of said selector push-button when it is moved from said longitudinal rest position.
- said microprogrammed electronic component can be adapted to discriminate the duration of the movement of the selector push-button from its rest position, thereby distinguishing preferably between short pressure operations and long pressure operations.
- each short duration pressure operation can be corresponding, according to an ordered sequence, to a selection of the type of forecast to be generated and a long duration pressure operation can start the generation of a random forecast corresponding to the selected forecast type.
- said electronic unit and/or display can be switched off by a corresponding particular 3 sequence of short and/or long duration pressure operations of said selector push-button.
- the rotatory movement of said selector push-button can also have two angular stable positions or one angular rest position starting from which it can be rotated in clockwise and/or counterclockwise direction and to which it is elastically urged to return.
- the operation for switching on the electronic unit and/or the visual and/or acoustic annunciator can be carried out by means of a rotation of the push-button in the same direction or in opposite direction with respect to the rotatory movements carried out to select the forecast type.
- the operation for switching off the electronic unit and/or the visual and/or acoustic annunciator corresponds to a rotation of the push-button in opposite direction with respect to the rotations carried out to select the forecast type.
- the operation for switching off the electronic unit and/or the visual and/or acoustic annunciator can be carried out automatically and it can be triggered after a certain time interval in which no action is taken on the push-button.
- said electronic component generates random forecasts according to a random function with equi-probability results.
- the concerned article of use can be provided with at least a battery.
- said visual and/or acoustic annunciator can be housed in the same housing where the electronic unit is housed.
- the concerned article of use can be further provided with one or more push-buttons in order to select the forecast type.
- the article of use can be selected among: a ball point pen, a fountain pen, a felt-tip pen, a pencil, a propelling pencil, a key holder, an ashtray, a lighter, a bracelet, a pendant, a note-book, an address book, a telephone set, a radiotelephone, a paper-weight, a wrist watch, a table watch, a slot- machine, a videogame, a computer, an electronic notebook, and like. 4

- Each short duration pressure corresponds to the selection of a type of forecast based game, according to an ordered sequence, while each long duration pressure starts generating a forecast. It should be understood, however, that the functions corresponding to the short duration and to the long duration pressure operations of said push-button 6 can be inverted with one another, without so departing from the coverage of this invention.
- the switch on operation of the electronic unit and/or of the display 4 is also carried out by a short duration pressure on push-button 6 and said display 4 can visualize, upon switching on, the first type of game (and the type of forecast) of said ordered sequence or the last game type (and forecast type) selected before the previous switching off operation of the electronic unit and/or display 4.
