[0014] Comme illustré aux fig. 1 à 3, un dispositif de divertissement comprend un cadre de support 1 ouvert vers le haut comportant deux parois 2 espacées l’une de l’autre en relation face-à-face, et pourvues d’ouvertures 3 en face l’une de l’autre et agencées pour le passage d’une tige coulissante 4.As illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3, an entertainment device comprises a support frame 1 open upwards comprising two walls 2 spaced apart from each other in face-to-face relationship, and provided with openings 3 opposite one of the other and arranged for the passage of a sliding rod 4.
[0015] Un bloc canne 5 comporte une tige 4 montée dans les ouvertures 3 en face des parois du cadre de support 1, pour coulisser axialement dans une direction parallèle à son axe A et pour tourner autour de cet axe A. La tige coulissante 4 s’étend de part et d’autre des parois opposées 2 du cadre support.A rod block 5 comprises a rod 4 mounted in the openings 3 opposite the walls of the support frame 1, to slide axially in a direction parallel to its axis A and to rotate around this axis A. The sliding rod 4 extends on either side of the opposite walls 2 of the support frame.
[0016] Le bloc canne 5 comporte, à une première extrémité de la tige 4, externe d’une paroi 2 du cadre de support 1, une manette de commande 6 qui comprend un corps de préhension de forme allongée et est agencé pour être tenu par un utilisateur pour faire coulisser et tourner la tige 4.The rod block 5 comprises, at a first end of the rod 4, external of a wall 2 of the support frame 1, a control handle 6 which comprises a gripping body of elongated shape and is arranged to be held by a user to slide and rotate the rod 4.
[0017] La tige 4 comporte, entre les parois 2 espacées, un organe limiteur de déplacement axial 7 de la tige. Cet organe 7, lors du déplacement axial de la tige 4 vient buter directement ou indirectement contre la face interne des parois 3 pour limiter le déplacement axiale de la tige 4. Dans cet exemple, l’organe 7 bute contre la face interne des parois 3 par l’intermédiaire de ressorts amortisseurs.The rod 4 comprises, between the spaced walls 2, an axial displacement limiting member 7 of the rod. This member 7, during the axial displacement of the rod 4 abuts directly or indirectly against the internal face of the walls 3 to limit the axial displacement of the rod 4. In this example, the member 7 abuts against the internal face of the walls 3 by means of shock absorbing springs.
[0018] Le bloc canne 5 comporte, à une seconde extrémité de la tige 4, externe de l’autre paroi 3 du cadre de support 1, un capteur gyroscopique 8 agencé dans l’axe de ladite tige coulissante 4 pour fournir un signal analogique de la position angulaire de la tige 4. Le capteur 8 est de préférence un capteur gyroscopique-accéléromètre.The rod block 5 comprises, at a second end of the rod 4, external to the other wall 3 of the support frame 1, a gyroscopic sensor 8 arranged in the axis of said sliding rod 4 to provide an analog signal of the angular position of the rod 4.

[0019] L’organe limiteur de déplacement axial 7 porte un disque réfléchissant disposé en face des parois 3 du cadre de support 1.The axial displacement limiting member 7 carries a reflective disc arranged opposite the walls 3 of the support frame 1.
[0020] Dans cet exemple, chaque face interne opposée des parois 3 du cadre de support 1 comporte un détecteur optoélectronique 9 à mesure du temps de vol de la lumière, coopérant avec le disque réfléchissant 7 pour fournir un signal analogique de la position axiale de la tige 4. Les deux détecteurs optoélectroniques 9 sont éloignés au maximum de 35 cm. La présence des deux détecteurs optoélectroniques 9 permet de réduire fortement le phénomène de latence et donc de permettre une meilleure coordination entre le déplacement du bloc canne 5 et l’image affichée sur le dispositif d’affichage. Le dispositif peut comporter en outre un accéléromètre pour donner une indication des accélérations axiales et angulaires.In this example, each opposite internal face of the walls 3 of the support frame 1 comprises an optoelectronic detector 9 as the time of flight of the light cooperates with the reflecting disc 7 to provide an analog signal of the axial position of the rod 4. The two optoelectronic detectors 9 are distant at most 35 cm. The presence of the two optoelectronic detectors 9 makes it possible to greatly reduce the latency phenomenon and therefore to allow better coordination between the movement of the rod block 5 and the image displayed on the display device. The device may further include an accelerometer to give an indication of the axial and angular accelerations.
[0021] Le dispositif comprend en outre un moyen de transmission des signaux de la position angulaire et de la position axiale de la tige 4 à une unité de traitement 10 (voir fig. 5) par l’intermédiaire d’un convertisseur analogique/digital. L’unité de traitement 10 est agencée pour fournir une entrée dans un dispositif d’affichage 11 (fig. 6) grâce à un bus informatique.The device further comprises a means of transmitting the signals of the angular position and the axial position of the rod 4 to a processing unit 10 (see fig. 5) via an analog / digital converter .

[0022] Comme illustré à la fig. 6, un baby-foot électronique intégrant le présent dispositif permet une immersion totale dans un stade virtuel notamment grâce aux casques de réalité virtuelle 11 et des caméras 15. Dans cet exemple, huit blocs cannes sont disposés autour de la table de jeu, quatre de chaque côté. Le baby-foot illustré comporte notamment des blocs d’alimentation et des serveurs pour alimenter d’une table la plateforme de jeu mais également pour faire tourner l’application du jeu. Dans cet exemple, le caisson du baby-foot est fermé en haut par un couvercle qui vient se placer au dessus du cadre de support.As illustrated in FIG. 6, an electronic table football incorporating the present device allows total immersion in a virtual stadium, in particular thanks to the virtual reality headsets 11 and cameras 15. In this example, eight rod blocks are arranged around the game table, four of each side. The illustrated table football includes power supplies and servers to supply the game platform with a table but also to rotate the game application. In this example, the table football box is closed at the top by a cover which is placed above the support frame.
[0023] Le casque de réalité virtuelle 11 permet de visualiser, les joueurs sur le terrain de jeu d’une part mais également tout l’environnement extérieur au terrain comme les tribunes. Il suffit pour cela que l’utilisateur tourne la tête pour que la caméra 15 détecte son mouvement et lui affiche dans son écran la zone du stade qu’il observe.The virtual reality headset 11 makes it possible to view, the players on the playing field on the one hand but also the entire environment outside the playing field such as the stands. It suffices for this that the user turns his head so that the camera 15 detects his movement and displays on his screen the area of the stadium he is observing.
[0024] Le principe de fonctionnement de dispositif de divertissement de jeu vidéo selon la présente invention est très proche d’un baby-foot traditionnel avec des tiges mobiles actionnables par les joueurs pour frapper la balle.The operating principle of a video game entertainment device according to the present invention is very close to a traditional table football with movable rods operable by the players to strike the ball.
[0025] Grâce au dispositif de divertissement interactif, un joueur, qui par exemple est habitué au baby-foot traditionnel, conserve les mêmes sensations et le même plaisir de jeu, tout en ayant les avantages des jeux vidéo qui offrent davantage d’effets visuels 3D et sonores.Thanks to the interactive entertainment device, a player, who, for example, is used to traditional table football, retains the same sensations and the same pleasure in playing, while having the advantages of video games which offer more visual effects. 3D and sound.
[0026] Le passage d’une pratique d’un baby-foot traditionnel vers une pratique d’un babyfoot virtuel se fait ainsi sans transition: le joueur n’a pas à changer sa technique; il doit simplement s’habituer à la nouvelle interface graphique qui offre davantage d’effets sonores et visuels.The transition from a practice of a traditional table football to a practice of a virtual table football is thus done without transition: the player does not have to change his technique; he just has to get used to the new graphical interface which offers more sound and visual effects.
[0027] Comme illustré à la fig. 4, la manette de commande 6 comprend des boutons de commandes 12 agencés pour contrôler les actions du joueur de baby-foot visible dans le casque de réalité virtuelle 11.As illustrated in FIG. 4, the control lever 6 comprises control buttons 12 arranged to control the actions of the foosball player visible in the virtual reality headset 11.
CH 714 665 A1 [0028] La manette 6 de la présente invention peut comporter un convertisseur analogique/numérique.CH 714 665 A1 [0028] The lever 6 of the present invention may include an analog / digital converter.
[0029] L’exemple illustré n’est pas limitatif car bien évidemment, d’autres applications sont possibles comme par exemple des jeux vidéos de hockey, basket, base-bail voire des jeux vidéos de pilotage de motos, d’avions ou de voiture.The illustrated example is not limitative because obviously, other applications are possible such as for example hockey, basketball, baseball video games or even video games driving motorcycles, planes or car.
