Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of electronic computer and video game control, and is especially one kind of game handle with displacement detector and its use method.
Background
Gamepads and mice are two of the most commonly used computer and video game control devices, both of which are used to control a target image on a screen that is driven by the computer device.
The gamepad can be divided into two main types, namely a one-hand gamepad and a two-hand gamepad. Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a common one-hand game handle, wherein a housing of the handle is suitable for being gripped by one hand, and two input devices, namely a rocker module and a key module, are arranged on the housing. In use, the gamepad is connected to a computer (e.g., a PC) that drives a screen, which also runs video games, and displays the game content on the screen. The user controls the target image on the screen through the rocker and the keys. The target image includes a cursor (mouse pointer), a sight of a weapon, a game character, a field of view, and the like. The control target image is most commonly required to move on the screen, and the movement is preferably quick and accurate. In the prior art, a game handle controls a target image to move on a screen through a rocker, but the control of the target image to move on the screen by using the rocker cannot achieve the speed and the accuracy at the same time.
Taking the example of controlling the cursor movement on the screen, the user pushes the rocker on the game handle in a certain direction, the cursor on the screen moves in the direction, and the cursor stops moving when the rocker is released. For example, when the cursor is located at the point a on the screen and the cursor needs to be moved to the point B, the user pushes the rocker towards the direction of the point B, the cursor starts to move, when the cursor moves to the point B, the user releases the rocker, the cursor stays at the point B, and the moving process is completed. The larger the angle of the rocker pushed by the user, the faster the cursor moves, which makes it impossible for the user to ensure both rapidness and accuracy when controlling the cursor movement. For example, when the user pushes the rocker at a large angle in one direction, the cursor moves rapidly, and at this time, it is difficult for the user to grasp the time of releasing the rocker, so that it is difficult for the cursor to stay at a desired position, and often, the moving distance is insufficient or excessive. If the rocker is pushed lightly, the cursor moves slowly, and at the moment, the cursor is easy to stay at a desired position on the screen, so that the cursor can be moved accurately, but the cursor cannot be moved quickly.
The mouse is another common computer and video game control device, and is characterized by being capable of rapidly and accurately controlling the movement of a target image on a screen, because the mouse is an optical mouse or a mechanical mouse and is provided with a displacement detection device, the movement of the mouse on a desktop can be detected, and the target image on the screen can be controlled to correspondingly move according to the detected movement information such as the movement direction, the distance and the like. The prior art game handle has no displacement detection function because of no displacement detection device, so that the game handle cannot rapidly and accurately control the movement of the target image on the screen. However, the mouse needs to be used on a desktop, and has a larger difference in comfort compared with a game handle which can be used in the air.
The game paddle and the method of using the game paddle of the present application are produced in such a background.

Example 1
The embodiment provides a game handle, which comprises a shell, a displacement detection device, a circuit board arranged in the shell and an input device arranged on the shell; the circuit board is provided with a control unit; a displacement detection channel is arranged in the shell; the displacement detection device is arranged on the side of the displacement detection channel; the input device is selected from one or two of a rocker module and a key module; the input device is used for inputting control signals (the control signals are generated by the rocker module and the key module); the displacement detection device generates displacement information; and the control unit generates a displacement signal according to the displacement information and sends the control signal and the displacement signal to a connected host. The control unit may be a single-chip microcomputer, and preferably, in this embodiment, an STM32F407 chip is selected as the chip of the control unit.
The game handle is used for controlling a host, the host is a computer device, the host is used for running video game software and displaying game contents on a driven screen, and the host controls the display contents on the screen according to the received control signals and displacement signals.
In one implementation of the game paddle of this embodiment, the displacement detection channel is disposed laterally on the housing. As shown in fig. 2, the entire housing 101 is shaped to fit one hand, and is roughly divided into a grip portion 101a located at the rear and a control portion 101b located at the front. The input device in this embodiment is a rocker module, the rocker module is disposed on the housing 101, and includes a rocker 102 on the surface of the housing 101 and a portion in the housing, where the portion in the housing is electrically connected to a circuit board, and an STM32F407 chip of the control unit is disposed on the circuit board.
As can also be seen from fig. 2, there is a displacement detection channel 104 in the housing 101, which displacement detection channel 104 is a rectangular space extending transversely through the housing 101, and there is a square right-hand opening 104a in the control part 101b and a square left-hand opening 104b in the opposite side. The control section 101b is internally provided with a displacement detecting device 110 located beside the displacement detecting channel 104. Preferably, the displacement detecting device 110 is an optical displacement detecting module, as shown in fig. 3, which is located inside the housing 101 and includes a light emitting diode 111, an optical lens 112 and an optical engine 113. Wherein the light emitting diode 111 and the optical lens 112 are disposed close to the displacement detection channel 104. The optical engine 113 is disposed on the circuit board 103 inside the housing and is electrically connected to the control unit. In the drawings of the specification, broken lines depict components within the housing.
The optical engine 113 includes an image sensor and a DSP (digital signal processor). Preferably, the optical engine 113 is an A0214 optical engine from Agilent corporation.
In the game handle of the embodiment, a user can generate a displacement signal through the optical displacement detection module in addition to a control signal generated by toggling the rocker. Generating the displacement signal requires the placement of a positioning rod within the displacement detection channel. As shown in fig. 4, a positioning rod 301 is transversely inserted into the control portion 101b, and the positioning rod 301 is a rectangular long rod. The cross section is square, and the size is just matched with the left square opening and the right square opening on the shell 101, and the positioning rod 301 can move transversely easily in the displacement detection channel 104 but cannot be loosened too much. For example, the locating bar may be square in cross-section, with each side of the square being 8 mm long, and two square openings in the housing 101, each side being 8.5 mm long.
Next, a method of using the game pad according to the present embodiment will be described by taking an example of controlling movement of a cursor on a display screen driven by a single PC. The user holds the game handle left hand and grasps the right end position of the positioning rod 301 by the right hand, and controls the movement of the positioning rod 301 in the displacement detection channel 104. At this time, the light emitted from the light emitting diode 111 irradiates the surface of the positioning rod 301, passes through the optical lens 112, enters the optical engine 113, and forms a continuous digital image on the image sensor in the optical engine 113. The DSP processes the digital image. When the positioning rod 301 moves, two adjacent frame images will change, the DSP can obtain movement information (including movement direction and distance) of the positioning rod 301 according to the change, after the movement information is sent to the control unit, the control unit sends a displacement signal to the host (PC) according to the movement information, and the PC controls the cursor on the screen to move correspondingly according to the displacement signal. Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing a mode of use of the game pad according to the present embodiment. The player can also hold the handle with the right hand and control the positioning lever with the left hand to operate the game handle of the present embodiment.
In the optical mouse in the prior art, a displacement detection module comprising a light emitting diode, an optical lens and an optical engine is also adopted to detect the movement of the optical mouse on a desktop. And transmitting the detected movement information to a control unit in the optical mouse, and transmitting a displacement signal by the control unit according to the movement information. The optical mouse in the prior art moves on one surface, the optical displacement detection module can detect the displacement of the mouse in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction, the control chip converts the displacement in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction into the movement data of the X axis and the Y axis respectively and then sends the movement data to the host, namely the movement data of the X axis and the Y axis are included in the displacement signal sent to the host by the control chip. And the host controls the image on the screen to correspondingly move according to the displacement signal. For example, the mouse moves up a small distance to the right, and the control chip outputs X+10, Y+10. The cursor on the screen is moved 10 pixels to the right and 10 pixels upward. The mouse moves leftwards and downwards for a small distance, the control chip outputs X-10 and Y-10, and a cursor on a screen moves leftwards by 10 pixels and downwards by 10 pixels.
The displacement information is obtained from the optical displacement detection module, and then the displacement signal is generated by the control unit according to the displacement information, and the game handle in the embodiment and the optical mouse in the prior art adopt the same technology. The difference is that the movement of the positioning rod in the displacement detection channel is detected, i.e. only one line of movement is detected. When the optical displacement detection module is installed, the included angle between the optical displacement detection module and the displacement detection channel is ensured to be a right angle (as shown in fig. 2), and the control unit only outputs the movement data of one axis. For example, the pointing stick 301 moves a small distance to the right, the control unit outputs x+10, and the cursor on the screen moves 10 pixels to the right; the positioning rod moves leftwards for a small distance, the control unit outputs X-10, and the cursor on the screen moves leftwards for 10 pixels. The user can rapidly and accurately control the movement of the cursor on the screen on the X axis by controlling the movement direction and the distance of the positioning rod.
When the optical mouse in the prior art is held obliquely, the cursor on the screen moves obliquely due to the fact that the optical displacement detection module and the moving line are not at right angles when the cursor moves transversely or longitudinally on the desktop. In the game handle of this embodiment, when the optical displacement detection module is installed, if the included angle between the optical displacement detection module and the displacement detection channel is not a right angle, when the positioning rod moves, the displacement signal sent by the control unit will include the movement data of the X axis and the Y axis at the same time. Causing the cursor on the screen to move obliquely, forming control deviation. To solve this problem, the present embodiment also provides a method of using the game pad, in which the control unit is set to output movement data of only one axis at any time. For example, according to the displacement information provided by the optical engine, when X+10 and Y+2 should be output in the displacement signal of the control unit, only X+10 is output. The use method has the beneficial effects that even if the angle of the optical displacement detection module is slightly deviated during installation, the control deviation can not be generated during use. The application method is suitable for the game handle with all the displacement detection devices being optical displacement detection modules.
In one implementation of the gamepad of this embodiment, the displacement detection channel is longitudinally disposed within the housing. As shown in fig. 6, the displacement detection passage 104 is provided longitudinally within the housing 101. The displacement detection passage 104 has a square upper opening 104c on the upper surface of the housing 101 and a square lower opening 104d on the lower surface. The displacement detection device 110 is located beside the displacement detection channel 104.
When the displacement detection device is an optical displacement detection module, the installation mode is shown in fig. 7. The light emitting diode 111, the optical lens 112, and the optical engine 113 are sequentially arranged beside the displacement detection channel 104.
The game handle with the displacement detection channel longitudinally arranged also needs to use a positioning rod when in use. As shown in fig. 8, the positioning rod 301 is inserted longitudinally into the housing 101, exposing a section above and below the housing 101, respectively, with the middle portion being located in the displacement detection passage. When the positioning rod 301 moves longitudinally in the displacement detection channel, the optical displacement detection module can obtain displacement information according to the moving direction and distance. In this embodiment, the input device is a key module, which is disposed on the housing 101 and includes a key 202 on the surface of the housing 101 and a portion inside the housing 101. Control information generated by a user through the key module is sent to the connected host through the control unit so as to realize corresponding key control functions.
The user holds the shell by one hand, and the other hand holds the positioning rod to move upwards or downwards, so that a displacement signal can be generated to control the movement of the target image on the screen. The displacement detection module is well oriented when being installed, so that the control unit outputs a movement value on the Y axis when the positioning rod moves up and down. For example, the positioning rod moves up a small distance, the control unit outputs y+10, the positioning rod moves down a small distance, and the control unit outputs Y-10. The user can use the positioning rod to control the cursor on the screen to move on the Y axis.
In one implementation of the gamepad of this embodiment, the displacement detection device is a mechanical displacement detection module. The mechanical displacement detection module comprises a rolling shaft, a grating wheel and a grating signal sensor. In the prior art, a mechanical displacement detection module is used in a mechanical mouse for detecting movement of the mechanical mouse on a desktop. When the mechanical mouse moves on the desktop, a rolling ball positioned at the bottom of the mouse rolls to drive a rolling shaft clung to the rolling wheel to rotate. The roller drives the connected grating wheel to rotate, and after the grating signal sensor detects the rotation direction and speed of the grating wheel, the grating signal sensor is used as displacement information to be sent to the control unit of the mechanical mouse, the control unit sends displacement signals to the connected host according to the displacement information, and the host controls the cursor on the display screen to correspondingly move.
In the mechanical mouse in the prior art, two mechanical displacement detection modules are used for respectively detecting the movement information of the mouse on the X axis and the Y axis, and only one mechanical displacement detection module is needed for the game handle in the embodiment. The specific installation mode is shown in fig. 9, the roller 114 is installed on the side of the displacement detection channel; the roller 114 passes through the center of the grating wheel 115 and is fixedly connected at the center; the grating signal sensor 116 is disposed beside the grating wheel 115. After the positioning rod 301 is inserted into the displacement detection passage, the roller 114 and the positioning rod 301 are brought close together. The positioning rod 301, when moving in the displacement detection path, drives the roller 114 to rotate, and the grating wheel 115 connected to the roller 114 also rotates synchronously. The grating signal sensor comprises an infrared transmitting tube 116a and an infrared receiving component 116b which are respectively positioned at two sides of the grating wheel. The infrared receiving component 116b is used for receiving infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting tube 116a, when the grating wheel rotates, the gear teeth at the edge periodically shield the infrared light receiving of the infrared receiving component 116b, so that an electric pulse signal is generated in the infrared receiving component, displacement information of the movement of the positioning rod is recorded in the electric pulse signal, and the control unit sends a displacement signal to the connected host according to the electric pulse signal.
When the displacement detection channel is arranged transversely, the installation position of the mechanical displacement detection module in the shell is shown in fig. 10. The roller 114 abuts against the displacement detection channel and maintains an angle of 90 degrees with the displacement detection channel. The two ends of the roller 114 are fixed by brackets so that the roller can only rotate but cannot move. The positioning rod is inserted into the displacement detection channel and then just clings to the roller 114. The positioning rod moves in the displacement detection channel, so that the roller 114 can rotate, and the control unit generates a displacement signal. Preferably, the logic of the control unit generating the displacement signal is that the control unit outputs the displacement signal of X+ when the positioning rod moves rightwards, and the control unit outputs the displacement signal of X-when the positioning rod moves leftwards, so that a user can control the target image on the screen to move transversely by operating the positioning rod to move leftwards and rightwards.
When the displacement detection channels are longitudinally arranged, the mechanical displacement detection module is mounted in the housing 101 at a position as shown in fig. 11. Roller 114 is positioned beside longitudinally disposed displacement sensing channels 104 at an angle of 90 degrees. The positioning rod is inserted into the displacement detection channel and then is just clung to the rolling shaft. The roller can roll by moving the positioning rod up and down, so that the control unit generates a displacement signal. Preferably, the logic of the control unit generating the displacement signal is that the positioning rod moves upwards, the control unit outputs a Y+ displacement signal, when the positioning rod moves downwards, the control unit outputs a Y-displacement signal, and a user can control the target image on the screen to move longitudinally by operating the positioning rod to move up and down.
The control unit outputs displacement signals according to the electric pulses provided by the mechanical displacement module, belongs to the prior art, and is not repeated in the specification.
Example two
The present embodiment provides a game paddle, which is different from the game paddle of the first embodiment in that a detection duct is further included, and the detection duct is connected to the housing. The displacement detection channel and the displacement detection module which are originally arranged in the shell are arranged on the detection catheter instead.
In one implementation of the gamepad of this embodiment, the detection conduit is disposed laterally. As shown in fig. 12, the detection conduit 106 is connected (by bonding or bolting) to the front end of the housing 101, the detection conduit 106 is a hollow rectangular tube, each of two ends has a square opening, a displacement detection channel is formed between the two square openings, and the displacement detection device 110 is disposed beside the displacement detection channel. After insertion of the positioning rod, movement within the detection catheter 106 can be detected by the displacement detection device 110. The displacement detection means is electrically connected to a control unit within the housing 101 via a cable 107.
The length of detecting the pipe is longer than the width of casing 101a lot, and the beneficial effect that increases detecting the pipe and bring on the game paddle is, can increase displacement detection passageway's length to can increase the stability after the locating lever inserts, control experience is better.
