The radio-operated car toy 6 includes an super reproduction receiving unit 8 that has an antenna and receives a radio steering operation signal, a control circuit unit 10 that decodes the received signal, and a steering drive unit 18 based on the output of the control circuit unit 10. And a pseudo-sound having a power switch SW13, a power drive amplifier 14 and a speaker 22 on the side of the travel toy, which includes a steering drive amplifier 12 and a power drive amplifier 14 for driving the power drive unit 20, respectively. A generator 15 is provided, and each output signal corresponding to the traveling state of the control circuit unit 10 and an operation signal of the power switch are input into the pseudo sound generator 15 in advance according to the traveling state. A sound corresponding to the input signal is selected from the programmed engine sound and sound effects other than the engine sound via the amplification circuit. An audio circuit unit 16 (microcomputer) is set to perform processing operation output from the peaker, and to generate a vibration signal in combination with the engine sound and perform driving operation from the power drive amplification unit 14. .

  The super reproduction receiving unit 8 mounted in the wirelessly operated car toy 6 receives a signal transmitted from the steering transmitter 4. The received radio operation signal is converted into a signal for driving and controlling the steering drive unit 18 and the power drive unit 20 in the control circuit unit 10 connected to the super reproduction receiving unit 8, and then the steering drive amplification unit. 12 and the power drive amplification unit 14, and the units 18 and 20 are driven based on the signals converted by the control circuit unit 10. Thereby, the wirelessly operated toy vehicle 6 can perform operations such as forward and backward movement, right turn and left turn according to an operation stick (not shown) provided in the steering transmitter 4. At this time, by turning on the power switch 13 of the wireless operation car toy 6 according to the present invention, the audio circuit part 16 also receives the radio operation signal from the output terminal of the control circuit unit 10 as an input signal, and the radio operation car toy.

The audio circuit unit 16 performs a pseudo sound generation process and a vibration generation process based on a program stored in a ROM (not shown).

  Hereinafter, the generation of the pseudo sound will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4B. Here, FIGS. 2 to 4B are flowcharts for explaining processing procedures for generating various pseudo sounds and vibrations by the audio circuit unit 16 in accordance with the running state of the toy car operated by wireless operation. A wirelessly operated car toy is assumed to be a racing car as shown in FIG. 5 as an example.

  FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the presence generating device according to the present invention. According to FIG. 2, the flow of generation of pseudo sound and vibration processed in the audio circuit unit 16 is as follows. First, when the power switch 13 on the racing car side is turned on, the audio circuit unit 16 performs a starter sound reproduction process. The starter sound data recorded in advance in the ROM is read out, synthesized, and transmitted to the speaker 22 to generate a starter sound (T2). The starter sound is recorded in advance in the ROM as a result of the rotation of the cell motor at the start of the actual vehicle.

  Subsequently, the audio circuit unit 16 receives an idling signal start-on signal and performs idling sound generation processing (T4). An idling sound is generated from the speaker via the amplifier circuit built in the audio circuit unit 16.
