Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic game device, a data processing method and a storage medium for the same, which can execute an unexpected game certainly and rapidly. A digital camera obtains external environment data by using a thermometer and the like, and transmits the obtained external environment data to a portable type of electronic game device. During the game, the electronic game device suddenly reads out an image of a character corresponding to the external environment data and at least one game character relating data selected from the group consisting of a name of the character, a characteristic of the character, a color of the character, an attribute of the character and the like, from a ROM, and displays them, in accordance with the external environment data. Thereby, a user can enjoy an unexpected game.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic game device, a data processing method and a storage medium for the same, which can execute an unexpected game certainly and rapidly. A shot image is obtained by a digital camera to transmit it to the electronic game device. In the electronic game device, at least one game character relating data selected from the group consisting of a name of a character, a characteristic of the character, a color of the character, an attribute of the character and a name of a parameter used in the game, is automatically created in accordance with the shot image. Thereby, a user can enjoy an unexpected game.

Abstract: A movement measuring device determines the speed of the body's specific movement on the basis of the maximum value of the acceleration sensed by an acceleration sensing unit attached to the body, when the body has made a specific movement. For example, when the player wears the device on his arm and makes a punching motion, the punching speed is found from the maximum acceleration resulting from the punching action. Furthermore, a game device obtains data indicating the magnitude of a specific movement of the body, on the basis of the acceleration sensed by an acceleration sensing unit, and then decides the outcome of the game on the basis of the strength and weakness of the punch. This enables the user to easily play a fighting sport game involving the player's actual punching motions anywhere.

Abstract: In an electronic reading device, the bar code of the limit time set for a question to be solved is read with a bar code reader. This limit time data is set on a sub tract timer, which decrements as time passes. The bar code reader is also designed to read the answer bar code for the question. During the limit time, answer bar codes can be read with the bar code reader. Beyond the limit time, however, those codes cannot be read. This encourages the learner to solve the questions within the limit time, enhancing the learning effects.

Abstract: An electronic key apparatus wherein an encrypted code for unlocking an electronic lock is stored in an encrypted code storage register. A password is stored in a password storage register. The same password as that stored in the password storage register, is input via a switch. The password input by the switch is compared with the password stored in the password storage register, by a coincidence detection circuit. When a coincidence is detected, the encrypted code stored in the encrypted code storage register is transmitted to the electronic lock, by a transmitter.
