Yet when frequency was higher than the characteristic frequency f3 that is determined by capacitor 310 and resistor 314, the impedance of capacitor 310 was big, and therefore, gain diminishes.In this case, the resistor 312 of ignoring big resistance value.In this example, the capacitance c2 of capacitor 310 is less than the capacitance c1 of capacitor 306, and the resistance value r4 of resistor 314 is less than the resistance value r2 of resistor 308, so f3＞f2.

In addition, when frequency was lower than the characteristic frequency f4 that is determined by resistor 312 and capacitor 316 and 318, the gain of loudness circuit 304 was determined that by the resistor 312 and the ratio of the combined resistance value of resistor 302 and resistor 308 therefore, this gain becomes big.Simultaneously, in this case, the resistance value r4 of resistor 314 is little, therefore, ignores it.In this example, and capacitor 316 and 318 combined capacity value (2 * c1) capacitance c1 greater than capacitor 306, and the resistance value r3 of resistor 312 is greater than the resistance value r2 of resistor 308, therefore, f2＞f4.

Therefore, top approximate calculation result causes f3＞f2＞f4.Therefore, loudness circuit 304 is used to strengthen frequency and is higher than the signal of characteristic frequency f2 and the signal that frequency is lower than characteristic frequency f4.Carry one in passing, the value of resistor 298 and capacitor 300 is selected such that cut-off frequency f1 is higher than characteristic frequency f3.

Simultaneously, the circuit arrangement of L channel amplifier 290L is identical with the circuit arrangement of R channel amplifier 290R, therefore, does not repeat unnecessary description.

In addition, high speed processor 575 will be arranged on the order (perhaps relevant with data order) in the control register (this is not shown) of imageing sensor 654 from I/O port IO0 to IO6 output, and will periodically replace to high level and low level register are provided with clock RCLK and offer imageing sensor 654.

4 infrarede emitting diode 614a, 614b, 614c and 614d (referring to Figure 35) are connected in parallel mutually and are in the same place.By led drive circuit 690, make these infrarede emitting diodes 614a to 614d luminous or not luminous (non-luminous).Led drive circuit 690 receives above-mentioned frame state marking signal FSF from imageing sensor 654, and this frame state marking signal FSF delivers to the base stage of PNP transistor 686 through comprising the differential circuit 685 of resistor 683 and capacitor 684.The base stage of this PNP transistor 686 is also connected to and is used for and will moves the pullup resistor 687 of high level on this base stage to.Then, when frame state marking signal FSF pulled down to low level,, this low level signal is input to this base stage, only makes low level time section at frame state marking signal FSF, 686 conductings of PNP transistor by differential circuit 685.

The emitter of PNP transistor 686 is by resistor 680 and 689 ground connection.On the other hand, the company contact between the emitter resistor 680 and 689 is connected to the base stage of NPN transistor 681.The anode of each infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d is connected to the collector electrode of this NPN transistor 681 jointly.The emitter of NPN transistor 681 is directly connected to the base stage of another NPN transistor 682.The negative electrode of each infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d is connected to the collector electrode of NPN transistor 682 jointly, and the emitter of NPN transistor 682 is by resistor 691 ground connection.

Only the LED control signal LEDC from the I/O port IO13 of high speed processor 575 output be activated (being in high level), and be between low period from the frame state marking signal FSF of imageing sensor 654 outputs, this led drive circuit 690 is connected infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d.

Shown in Figure 89 (a), when frame state marking signal FSF is pulled down to low level, PNP transistor 686 conducting low level time sections (in fact comprising time-delay) corresponding to the time constant of differential circuit 685.Therefore, as the LED control signal LEDC shown in high speed processor 575 output Figure 89 (d), during as high level signal, the base stage of NPN transistor 681 by on move high level to, and be switched on.When transistor 681 was switched on, transistor 682 also was switched on.Therefore, electric current flows through each infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d and transistor 682 from power Vcc 1, and in response to this, each infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d is luminous, shown in Figure 89 (e).

Only shown in Figure 89 (d), LED control signal LEDC is activated, and shown in Figure 89 (a), frame state marking signal FSF is between low period, led drive circuit 690 is connected infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d, therefore, only between the exposure period of imageing sensor 654 in (referring to Figure 89 (f)), infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d is switched on.

Therefore, can limit useless power consumption.In addition, owing to also frame state marking signal FSF is delivered to coupling capacitor 684, even so cause frame state marking signal FSF to be fixed on low level because of problem such as imageing sensor 654 is out of hand, still need be after special time period, "off" transistor 686, make and also need after this special time period, disconnect infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d.

Therefore, by regulating the mark duration of frame state marking signal FSF, can arbitrarily, freely change the time for exposure section of imageing sensor 654.

In addition, by regulating mark duration and the frequency of frame state marking signal FSF and LED control signal LEDC, can arbitrarily, freely be provided with and change infrarede emitting diode 614a to 614d, that is, the fluorescent lifetime section of stroboscope, fluorescent lifetime section, luminous/the not circulation etc. of fluorescent lifetime section not.

Simultaneously, imageing sensor 654 is connected to terminal t3, and synchronouss working with the clock signal SCLK1 that crystal-oscillator circuit 252 produces.

According to this cartridge 600,, in cartridge 600, can carry out various widely application programs although its memory can be used to store the program of the image that is used to handle subject.

(I) electricity of racket shape input equipment 700 configuration

As shown in figure 49, utilize, realize racket shape input equipment 700 as the fixing piezoelectric element 720 (the following describes) of the part of acceleration sensor circuit 766.As everyone knows, piezoelectric element 720 comprises the potsherd that is installed on the sheet metal, and as acceleration transducer.That is, as well known in the art, the potsherd of piezoelectric element 720 is made of the piezoelectric ceramic that produces the signal of telecommunication when bearing mechanical pressure.Therefore, detect the signal of telecommunication that piezoelectric element 720 produces, as the motion of expression piezoelectric element 720, that is, and the signal of the motion of racket shape input equipment 700.

Figure 91 is the view that the electricity configuration of racket shape input equipment 700 shown in Figure 45 is shown.Figure 92 (a) is the oscillogram from the output signal of the output port 0 of MCU shown in Figure 91 768; Figure 92 (b) is the oscillogram of input signal that is input to the input port 0 of this MCU 768; Figure 92 (c) is the explanatory that is used to illustrate that input that this MCU 768 carries out is judged.

With reference to Figure 91, comprise piezoelectric element 720 in the acceleration sensor circuit 766.In addition, MCU 768 is provided with external crystal oscillator circuit 767, and responds the clock signal work that this crystal-oscillator circuit 767 produces.Then, MCU 768 exports square-wave signal from output port 0, and by resistor 791, this square-wave signal is applied to an electrode 720a of piezoelectric element 720.The electrode 720a of piezoelectric element 720 is by capacitor 792 ground connection.

Another electrode 720b of piezoelectric element 720 is connected to the input port 0 of MCU768 by resistor 793, and is connected to diode circuit 788, makes voltage fluctuation is remained in the fixed range.Simultaneously, utilize high relatively resistor 790, make two electrode 720a of piezoelectric element 720 and 720b mutually electricity isolate.

The input port 1 of MCU 768 is connected to the node between resistor 769 and the resistor 770.The other end of resistor 769 is connected to power Vcc.The other end of resistor 770 is connected to an end of switch 771, and the other end ground connection of switch 771.If switch 771 is opened, the node that then is connected to input port 1 equals the current potential of power Vcc.If switch 771 is closed, then electric current flows to ground from power Vcc, pulls down to by the determined current potential of dividing potential drop between resistor 769 and the resistor 770 with the current potential of the node that will be connected to input port 1.According to the variation of this current potential, MCU 768 can judge whether conducting of switch 771.

The output port 1 of MCU 768 is connected to the base stage of PNP transistor 773 by resistor 772.The emitter of transistor 773 is connected to power Vcc, and its collector electrode is connected to an end of resistor 774,775,776,777 and 778.These resistors 774,775,776,777 and 778 the other end are connected to each infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e (referring to Figure 47), as mentioned above.Utilize the output of output port 1, can control the luminous of infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e.

When the electrode 720a to piezoelectric element 720 applies square-wave signal shown in Figure 92 (a),, will the triangular signal shown in Figure 92 (b) be input to the input port 0 of MCU 768 at the charging and the interdischarge interval of capacitor 792.Yet the amplitude of triangular signal (peak to peak) is determined by diode circuit 788.

When racket shape input equipment 700 remains static, that is, when not moving, the current potential of triangular signal does not change, and is in its minimum level (bearing) shown in the left end of Figure 92 (b).Yet if the player moves this racket shape input equipment 700 in three dimensions, the piezoelectric effect relevant with this motion produces voltage in piezoelectric element 720.This voltage that is relevant to acceleration makes this triangular signal setover at minus side.Therefore, when mobile racket shape input equipment 700, amplitude according to the displacement acceleration, in piezoelectric element 720, produce the voltage that is relevant to acceleration, therefore, the minimum level of triangular signal that is input to the input port 0 of MCU 768 changes according to the level of the voltage that is relevant to acceleration 789 shown in Figure 92 (b).

MCU 768 is converted to acceleration information with the deviation of the minimum level of triangular signal, and according to it infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e is controlled.

Carry one in passing, starting circuit 779 comprises current mirroring circuit 799 and capacitor 786.One end of this capacitor 786 is connected to the electrode 720b of piezoelectric element 720, and its other end is connected to the base stage of PNP transistor 782. PNP transistor 782 and 783 emitter are connected to power Vcc.PNP transistor 782 and 783 collector electrode are connected to an end of resistor 780 and 781. Resistor 780 and 781 other end ground connection.Resistor 784 and 785 is connected in series between the base stage of the base stage of PNP transistor 782 and PNP transistor 783.Company contact between resistor 784 and the resistor 785 is connected to the collector electrode of PNP transistor 783.In addition, the collector electrode of PNP transistor 782 is connected to the input port 3 of MCU 768.

In this case, for example, suppose that resistor 784 and 785 has the resistance value of 1M Ω, resistor 780 has the resistance value of 100k Ω, and resistor 781 has the resistance value of 1M Ω.Like this, resistor 784 and 785 resistance value are set to greatly.In addition, the resistance value of resistor 781 is greater than the resistance value of resistor 780.

At first, when racket shape input equipment 700 does not move, so that piezoelectric element 720 is not when producing voltage, and MCU 768 is from output port 0 output square-wave signal.In this case, the collector current of PNP transistor 782 equals the collector current of PNP transistor 783, and the resistance value of resistor 780 is less than the resistance value of resistor 781, therefore, the current potential of the collector electrode of PNP transistor 782 is lower than the current potential (being 1/10) of the collector electrode of PNP transistor 783 in this example.Because this reason, low level signal is delivered to the input port 3 of MCU 768, therefore, MCU 768 stops to export square-wave signal.

Then, when mobile racket shape input equipment 700, piezoelectric element 720 vibrations make to produce voltage in response to this vibration.In this case, when producing this voltage in negative direction, the base current of PNP transistor 782 flows into capacitor 786, therefore, compares with the situation that racket shape input equipment 700 does not move, and the base current of PNP transistor 782 raises.After this, the collector current of PNP transistor 782 raises, and more than draws the current potential of collector terminal, thereby high level voltage is offered the input port 3 of MCU 768.By this process, MCU 768 begins from output port 0 output square-wave signal.

Simultaneously, the configuration of the electricity of bat shape input equipment 800 and spherical input equipment 854 is identical with the electricity configuration of racket shape input equipment 700, therefore, does not repeat unnecessary description.Yet, in the situation of bat shape input equipment 800, adopt four infrarede emitting diode 808a to 808d.In addition, in the situation of spherical input equipment 854, adopt two infrarede emitting diode 864a and 864b.

(J) processing of the MCU 768 of racket shape input equipment 700

Figure 93 is the flow chart that the processing of MCU shown in Figure 91 768 is shown.With reference to Figure 93, at first step S1, to illustrate below MCU 768 initialization and by the variable that MCU 768 handles, for example, detect deviant and offset counter and input port and output port (Figure 91).

Then, after the acceleration detection of step S2 was handled (below will describe in detail), at step S3, MCU 768 judged whether it is in transmit status.Although this is not shown, MCU 768 is provided with state counter as software counter, and when state counter reached predetermined value, MCU 768 was in transmit status.Therefore, at step S3, judge whether this state counter reaches predetermined value.If at step S3 is "No", then at step S4, send code and be set to " 0 ", otherwise, if be "Yes" at step S3, skips steps S4 then, the code that this processing enters step S5 sends handles (below will describe in detail).After step S5 has carried out code transmission processing, increase progressively 1 (+1) at step S6 state counter (this is not shown), then, return step S2.Carry one in passing, as described below, when utilizing serial bit sequence run time version to send processing, its required time is extremely short, is about the microsecond magnitude.

Figure 94 is the flow chart that is illustrated in the acceleration detection processing of carrying out among the S2 of step shown in Figure 93.With reference to Figure 94, at the first step S11 that this acceleration detection is handled, the detection deviant that MCU768 will be kept in the register (this is not shown) copies to offset counter (this is not shown)." detection deviant " is to be conditioned with the high level lasting time of the square-wave signal of input shown in Figure 92 (a) and the value of low duration, when piezoelectric element 720 does not produce voltage, this high level lasting time and low duration are equal to each other, and after just starting this system, should detect deviant and be set to any default value.

Step S12 after step S11, MCU 768 is set to " 1 " with output port 0.In other words, MCU 768 outputs " 1 ", that is, and high level.Then, at step S13, MCU 768 is from this input port 0 reading of data.

At step S14, judge at step S13 whether be " 1 " from the data that input port 0 reads.If "Yes", then at next procedure S15, MCU 768 makes summary counter (this is not shown) increase progressively 1 (+1)." summary counter " is to be used to calculate the time period that input port 0 continues to get high level, therefore, is high level if input port 0 is " 1 ", and then it increases progressively, and if input port 0 is " 0 ", then do not increase progressively.

Increase progressively at step S15 summary counter, perhaps judge it is under the situation of "No" at step S14, at next procedure S16, MCU 768 increases progressively offset counter, and judges in step S17 whether the count value of this offset counter reaches predetermined value.The number " N/2 " that this predetermined value is in the following description to be explained.In other words, in step S12 output port 0 is set to " 1 " afterwards, as long as judge it is "No" at step S17, then MCU 768 continues from output port 0 output " 1 ".

Then, when when step S17 judges that the count value of this offset counter reaches predetermined value, at next procedure S18, MCU 768 is set to " 0 " with output port 0, that is, and and low level.At next procedure S19, the detection deviant that MCU 768 will be arranged in the register copies to offset counter.

At next procedure S20, MCU 768 is from input port 0 reading of data.At step S21, judge whether the data of the input port 0 that reads at step S20 are " 1 ".If "Yes", then at next procedure S22, MCU 768 increases progressively summary counter.

After step S22 increased progressively summary counter, perhaps after step S21 judged to be "No", at next procedure S23, MCU 768 made offset counter 1 (1) of successively decreasing, and judges in step S24 whether the count value of offset counter reaches " 0 ".In other words, in step S18, output port 0 is set to " 0 " after, as long as judge it is "No" in step S24, MCU 768 just continues from output port 0 output " 0 ".

Then, when judgement is "Yes" in step S24, that is, when offset counter was zero (0), among the next procedure S25, MCU 768 came calculated difference by deduct median from the count value of summary counter.In this case, " median " is " N/2 ", and wherein " N " repeats to be used to detect the step S17 and the processing between the step 13 of high level lasting time and to repeat to be used to detect the step S20 of high level lasting time and the total degree of the processing between the step S24.Under normal conditions, the default value of detection deviant is " N/2 ".Reason according to the median calculated difference in this step S25 is as desirable piezoelectric element (promptly, duty ratio=50%) piezoelectric element does not produce under the voltage condition that is relevant to acceleration, and the ratio of high level lasting time and low duration is used as the benchmark of sense acceleration.

More particularly, represent to read " 1 ", promptly during the number of times of high level from input port 0 at summary counter, as long as this piezoelectric element is desirable piezoelectric element, and there is not voltage to produce, then this difference in step S25, that is, " summary counter-median " must be 0.Therefore, if piezoelectric element 720 produces a certain voltage, then this difference becomes remarkable nonzero value.Because this reason, in step S26, determine the displacement acceleration of racket shape input equipment 700 according to this difference.Generally speaking, multiply by this difference, obtain desired acceleration information by pre-determined factor.

After this, at step S27,, proofread and correct this detection deviant according to the difference that in step S25, obtains.That is, because the player does not brandish racket shape input equipment 700 under initial condition, piezoelectric element 720 does not produce the voltage that is relevant to acceleration.Irrelevant if in step S25, detect non-zero differential with the above-mentioned fact, then mean characteristic in view of the piezoelectric element that uses in the racket shape input equipment, the detection deviant that is provided with in step S11 is improper.In other words, this means that piezoelectric element is not desirable.Because this reason in this case, is utilized this difference correct detection deviant in step S27, with the piezoelectric element of compensation use and the characteristic difference between the desirable piezoelectric element.

On the other hand, under the situation of chop and change or correct detection deviant, even utilize the voltage that is relevant to acceleration of the actual generation of piezoelectric element to calculate this difference, this detection deviant also is adjusted in step S27.Yet, to compare with the other times section, the voltage rise time section of piezoelectric element is very short.Therefore, in practice, even, do not have problems at each execution in step S27 when detecting this difference yet.This will simplify this algorithm.

MCU 768 reads input data " 1 " or " 0 " by input port 1 from console switch 710 in next procedure S28, the transmission code that preparation has additional parity bit in step S29, the input data that its expression is read from this switch 710 and formerly the displacement acceleration or the acceleration of motion of definite racket shape input equipment 700 the step S26 turn back to the step S3 of main program afterwards.

Figure 95 is that the code that the S5 of step shown in Figure 93 is shown sends the flow chart of handling.With reference to Figure 95, in first step S41, the transmission code that MCU 768 will prepare in step S2 or S4 copies to ephemeral data register (this is not shown).Then, judge whether highest significant position is " 1 ".If highest significant position is " 1 ", then in step S42, be judged to be "Yes", MCU 768 is set to " 1 " with output port 1 in next procedure S43, to connect infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e.After this, at step S44, MCU 768 waits for the predetermined stand-by period.Yet, if in step S42, be "No", that is,, should handle skips steps S43 if highest significant position is " 0 ", enter step S44.

In step S44, after past scheduled wait time, MCU 768 is set to " 0 " with output port 1, and breaks infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e at step S45.After this, MCU 768 waits for the scheduled wait time in step S46.

Then, in step S46 the scheduled wait time in the past after, MCU 768 to moving to left 1, and makes ephemeral data send the position and move to least significant bit in step S47.In other words, sending the position replaces successively to carry out the serial bit transmission.Then, in step S48, judge whether to have sent all positions.If "No", then this processing procedure is returned step S42, and if "Yes", then this is finished dealing with, and enters the step S6 shown in Figure 93.

The processing that is installed in the MCU in the bat shape input equipment 800 shown in Figure 45 and the spherical input equipment 854 is identical with the processing of MCU 768 in being installed in racket shape input equipment 700, therefore, does not repeat unnecessary explanation.

(K) use the virtual reality of racket shape input equipment 700 shown in Figure 45 to experience

For example, as shown in figure 45, under with the situation of television receiver 14 as the part of the virtual reality system that plays tennis, this adapter 1 is provided with the cartridge 500 (referring to Figure 85) with internal memory 577, and 577 storages of this internal memory are used to the program and the data that realize that this virtual reality system that plays tennis is required.Then, connect television receiver 14, and connect the mains switch 9 of adapter 1.

In the virtual reality system that is used for playing tennis, the high speed processor 575 of cartridge 500 produces and is used for the vision signal VD of display ball, player role, net role and court role on television receiver 14, and outputs to video-out port VO.This vision signal VD is sent to television receiver 14 by the terminal t23 of cartridge 500, the terminal T23 and the AV socket 25 of adapter 1.In this configuration, the image that television receiver 14 shows such as ball.In addition, high speed processor 575 produces the audio signal AL1 and the AR1 that are used for outputting music, sound effect etc. of the loud speaker that will be output to television receiver 14, and they are outputed to audio output port AL and AR.Terminal T20 and T21, audio frequency amplifier 258 and the AV socket 25 of terminal t20 by cartridge 500 and t21, adapter 1 send to television receiver 14 with audio signal AL1 and AR1.In this configuration, television receiver 14 passes through loud speaker outputting music etc.

Under the situation of this virtual reality system that is used to play tennis, when the player swings racket shape input equipment 700 in real space, according to the signal that is relevant to acceleration that the piezoelectric element 720 of racket shape input equipment 700 is exported, infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e outputs to infrared signal the IR acceptor circuit 256 of adapter 1.After receiving infrared signal, the infrared signal that IR acceptor circuit 256 digital demodulations are received, and, it is outputed to the terminal t17 of cartridge 500 by terminal T17.High speed processor 575 is imported these signals from I/O port IO16, and carries out processing according to the program that is stored in the memory 577.

For example, if it is regularly synchronous with the motion that is presented at the ball on the screen, the player swings racket shape input equipment 700 in real space, then according to corresponding with the signal that is relevant to acceleration of piezoelectric element 720, send to the infrared signal of IR acceptor circuit 256 from infrarede emitting diode 716a to 716e, high speed processor 575 detects this swing, then, timing and the position of ball on screen when swinging with predetermined translational speed according to racket shape input equipment 700, the adversary of ball on the court who is presented on the screen moved, just as in fact utilizing racket that ball is returned.According to the position that ball moves, judge that ball is whether in the court.Yet,, judge that the player swings and miss target (ball is passed through) if the timing of swing racket shape input equipment 700 is inconsistent with the position of ball on screen.

Figure 96 is the flow chart that the handling process of utilizing the virtual reality system that racket shape input equipment 700 shown in Figure 45 plays tennis is shown.At step S101, the high speed processor 575 shown in Figure 85 is at first carried out initialization process.Specifically, this system of initialization and each variable.

After this, at step S102, high speed processor 575 upgrades vision signal VD, and the image of update displayed on television receiver 14.Yet, each frame (television frame or frame of video) is carried out the update displayed treatment of picture.

Then, according to this state, high speed processor 575 is carried out and is handled.At first the processing that will carry out is a preference pattern.At step S103, in this model selection, the player operates the arrow key 17a to 17d of adapter 1, selects single player's pattern or two players' pattern, and singles' pattern or doubles pattern, and the grade of difficulty of recreation is set.

Although actual tennis then, enters air exercise from service, the ball of this recreation must be thrown with service on this screen.In this case, at step S104, high speed processor 575 is carried out to deliver and is prepared to handle, and then, at step S105, carrying out delivers handles.That is, if prepare push switch 710 in the processing in delivery, then this processing enters the delivery processing, and in delivery was handled, if racket shape input equipment 700 is not swung, then this processing turned back to the preparation processing.On the other hand, if in the processing of delivering, 700 swings of racket shape input equipment, then this processing enters the air exercise processing among the step S106.Then, if in air exercise is handled score, then this processing enters the processing of the processing score among the next procedure S107.In addition, whether satisfy end condition according to the score that gets in the divisional processing, this is handled backtrack mode and selects (S103), perhaps delivers and prepares processing (S104).

After this, if there is the interruption of video system synchronizing signal, then in step S102, carry out the update displayed treatment of picture.In addition, when sending the audio frequency that is used to export such as the sound effect of music, batting sound and interrupt, the acoustic processing among the execution in step S108.When receiving infrared signal (code), the IR acceptor circuit 256 of adapter 1 outputs to high speed processor 575 with interrupt request singal, then, in accepting this interrupt requests or timer, have no progeny, at step S109, high speed processor 575 receives as the code below interrupt processor (interrupthandler) beginning and handles.

Figure 97 is illustrated in the code of carrying out among the S109 of step shown in Figure 96 to receive the flow chart of handling.Call this code by timer interrupt signal and receive processing, interrupt so that high speed processor 575 judges whether to be provided with timer in first step S51.If "No" then is provided with timer and interrupts in step S52,, enter step S53 if "Yes" then should be handled skips steps S52.

In step S53, high speed processor 575 divides the ephemeral data district that is used in the reception code in memory 407 (Figure 86).Then, in next procedure S54, high speed processor 575 is from input port IO16 reading of data, wherein, is imported into this input port IO16 from the output signal of IR acceptor circuit 256 (Figure 78).At next procedure S55, high speed processor 575 right shift ephemeral datas, and the data that will read in step S54 are placed on the highest significant position position of this ephemeral data.

After this, at step S56, judge whether to receive all positions, if "No", then in step S57, high speed processor 575 waits for that next timer interrupts.If "Yes", then release timer interrupts being provided with in step S58, duplicates this ephemeral data as receiving code in step S59.High speed processor 575 utilizes this reception code to carry out the processing shown in Figure 96.

Carry one in passing, for example, under with the situation of television receiver 14 as the part of the virtual reality system of using bat shape input equipment 800 shown in Figure 45 and spherical input equipment 854 to play baseball, adapter 1 is provided with the cartridge 500 with internal memory 577 (referring to Figure 85), and 577 storages of this internal memory are used to realize the required program and the data of virtual reality system of playing baseball.Then, when connecting the mains switch 9 of television receiver 14 and adapter 1, high speed processor 575 produces vision signal VD and audio signal AL1 and AR1 according to the program that is stored in the memory 577, and by adapter 1 these signals is outputed to television receiver 14.

Under the situation of this virtual reality system that is used to play baseball, if the player swings bat shape input equipment 800 in real space, then basis sends to infrared signal the IR acceptor circuit 256 of adapter 1 from the signal that is relevant to acceleration of the piezoelectric element 830 of bat shape input equipment 800 from infrarede emitting diode 808a to 808d.After receiving this infrared signal, this infrared signal that IR acceptor circuit 256 digital demodulations are received, and it is outputed to the terminal t17 of cartridge 500 by terminal T17.These signals that high speed processor 575 is imported from I/O port IO16, and according to the program execution that is stored in the memory 577.Carry one in passing, when the player is holding spherical input equipment 854 in real space, and when making the toss action, also carry out similarly and handle.

Before playing games, the player with racket shape input equipment 700 with 703, bat shape input equipment 800 with 801 or spherical input equipment 854 be with 803 to be enclosed within on its wrist.Utilize this wrist band, can improve fail safe.

(L) use the virtual reality of the spherical input equipment 900 of bowling shown in Figure 63 to experience

In addition, according to the bowling program in the cartridge 600 that is installed in present embodiment, when the frame state marking signal is got predetermined value (, the "Yes" in the step S272 of Figure 104), begin to obtain pixel data corresponding to a frame.At step S273 to S281, Y coordinate (index) with scheduled volume when predetermined initial value is incremented to maximum, obtain pixel data in succession by the delegation of each Y coordinate appointment.At first, processing procedure is waited for, gets predetermined value ("Yes" among the step S274) up to the pixel gating signal, then, when the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value, the value (S275) of initialization X coordinate (index).At this moment, also do not store this pixel data.After this, during making the X coordinate be incremented to maximum, obtain this pixel data (S276 to S279).When finishing the pixel data that obtains delegation ("Yes" among the step S279), Y sits target value and increases progressively (S280) with scheduled volume.Therefore, reach maximum ("Yes" among the step S281), then finish the order obtaining step if Y sits target value.When the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value ("Yes" among the step S274) for the first time, there is not effective pixel data, therefore skip this pixel gating signal.That is, do not obtain pixel data when the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value ("Yes" among the step S274) for the first time, when the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value ("Yes" among the step S274), begin the actual pixel data that obtains next time.Repeat the processing (S276) that is used for the actual storage pixel data thereafter, storage pixel data continuously, and not initialization X coordinate, this is because X sits target value be initialised (S275).In the prior art, when the beginning next line, after the pixel data that has obtained delegation ("Yes" among the step S279), be before the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value, initialization X coordinate.For this prior art, because initialization X coordinate figure needs the regular hour, so when the beginning next line, when the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value, lose this signal transition sometimes.Therefore, can not obtain first pixel data of every row usually.The method according to this invention, after just finishing the pixel data that obtains delegation ("Yes" among the step S279), not initialization X coordinate, and wait for that pixel gating signal ("Yes" among the step S274) gets the predetermined value that expression begins to obtain the pixel data of next line, then, only after the pixel gating signal had just been got predetermined value, initialization X sat target value (S275).Because this reason when the pixel gating signal is got predetermined value, can not lost, therefore, seldom can not obtain pixel data.

Simultaneously, the present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, and under the situation that does not break away from essential scope of the present invention, can carry out various variations and distortion, as described in following typical variant example.

(M) the typical variant example of adapter and cartridge

The configuration of above-described adapter 1 and cartridge 500 and 600 only is an illustrative example, it is contemplated that various variation.Figure 106 is the schematic diagram that illustrates according to the adapter 1000 of typical variant example.Figure 107 (a) is the end view that adapter 1000 is shown; Figure 107 (b) is its rearview; Figure 107 (c) is its upward view.The configuration of this adapter 1000 is identical with the configuration of adapter 1 shown in Figure 1 basically, and difference is various technical specifications, for example, except the configuration of adapter 1, also is provided with the expansion connector that can connect external equipment.Simultaneously, in the accompanying drawing of back, the unit identical with the adapter 1 of Fig. 1 to Figure 105 illustrated embodiment still adopts same Reference numeral.Its title is also identical with function.Therefore, do not repeat unnecessary detailed description.

The configuration of shell

With reference to Figure 106 and Figure 107, this adapter 100 comprises: expansion connector 1003 (only shown in Figure 107) is formed on the shell side and by cap 1001 (only shown in Figure 106) and covers; Internal circuit is used for this expansion connector 1003 (Figure 106 and Figure 107 are not shown).In addition, shown in Figure 106 and 107, the shell of this adapter 100 is provided with a plurality of openings 1002 that are used to discharge the heat in the shell.Utilization is positioned at these a plurality of openings 1002 of insulating paper sealing of this shell, enters inside to prevent dust etc.

Carry one in passing, in Figure 10 and elevating mechanism 57 shown in Figure 11, particularly, on this adapter 1000, do not form lifter plate locking mechanism 59 shown in Figure 11.That is, this adapter 1000 only only is provided with along upward to the elevating mechanism to decorative panel 4 (referring to Fig. 1) application of force.This be because, utilize more a spot of parts, can reduce cost, and can reduce the probability that breaks down.Much less, according to trading off between the various requirement, judge whether to adopt lifter plate locking mechanism 59, and this design concept is depended in this judgement.

The configuration of cartridge

Carry one in passing, under the situation that does not adopt lifter plate locking mechanism 59, decorative panel 4 shown in Figure 1 can freely move up and down.That is, even cartridge 500 is placed on the decorative panel 4 upside down, this lifter plate also can move up and down.Therefore, the user may be installed in this cartridge 500 in the cartridge 1000 upside down because of carelessness.In this case, when drop-down cartridge 500, the lower end that lifter plate 55 promotes the C shape part 159 shown in Figure 106, therefore, its upper end is projecting inward from opening.Yet for the side channel 560 (referring to Fig. 1) of cartridge 500, if place cartridge 500 upside down, there is not groove in the position in that C shape part 159 protrudes.Therefore, in the side of cartridge 500, for fixing cartridge 500, the surface portion that leaves groove 560 is pressed by C shape part 159, so that lifter plate 55 can not move, the danger that generation can not be again pulled out cartridge 500 in the adapter 1000.

Equally, under cartridge 500 is placed on situation on the adapter 1000 with putting the cart before the horse, in the side of cartridge 500, for fixing cartridge 500, the surface portion that leaves groove 560b is pressed by C shape part 159, so that lifter plate 55 can not move, and produced the danger of can not be again cartridge 500 being pulled out in the adapter 1000.

Because this reason, under the situation of the cartridge 1010 of the present embodiment shown in Figure 108 and 1020, also on the opposite flank, additional groove 1012 and 1022 are set near the front, with respect to center line perpendicular to opposite side, their position symmetry is facing to aforesaid groove 560b, and in the present embodiment, on opposite side,, groove 560b shown in Figure 1 is shaped to groove 1014 and 1024 again near the back side.Moulding and location notch 1012 and 1022 are even so that when being placed on cartridge 1010 and 1020 in the adapter 1000, C shape part 159 also can enter in groove 1012 and 1022 with putting the cart before the horse.In addition, determine its height in vertical direction, even so that with correct direction, but when inserting cartridge 500 upside down, the upper end of C shape part 159 still can enter in this groove.Therefore, even this cartridge is inserted in the adapter 1000, C shape part 159 also can enter in this groove, is fixed to prevent this cartridge, prevents that lifter plate 55 from can not move, and prevents and can not this cartridge be pulled out from adapter 1000 again with putting the cart before the horse.In addition, although to a certain extent, geometry near the groove 560b of the geometry of the groove 1014 on the side at the back side and 1024 and cartridge 500 shown in Figure 1 is similar, but in vertical direction, groove 1014 and 1024 front portion are wideer than the front portion of groove shown in Figure 1, therefore, even insert this cartridge upside down, the upper end of C shape part 159 also can enter groove 1014 and 1024 in the mode identical with the situation of slot part 1012 and 1022.Therefore, even cartridge is inserted in the adapter 1000 upside down, C shape part 159 also can enter in groove 1014 and 1024, therefore, prevents that this cartridge is fixed, and prevents that lifter plate 55 from can not move, and prevents and can not this cartridge be pulled out from adapter 1000 again.Identical with groove 1015 and 1025, near the back side, moulding has the groove 1014 and 1024 of less height.Groove 1015 and 1025 height are slightly greater than the height of the upper end of C shape part 159.

In addition, according to cartridge 1010 and 1020, if insert cartridge 1010 and 1020 with correct direction, then by after entering groove 1014 and 1024 in the upper end of the C of cartridge locking mechanism 61 shape part 159 from right side and left side, to front slip cartridge 1010 and 1020, so that the upper end of C shape part 159 enters in groove 1015 and 1025, can limit cartridge 1010 and 1020 really and move in vertical direction.This is equally applicable to cartridge 500 discussed above and 600.

In addition, on the opposite flank, groove 1012 and 1022 are set respectively near the front, and groove 1014 and 1024 symmetries are faced symmetrically about the center line perpendicular to opposite side in its position, to receive the end of C shape part 159, thereby this cartridge is fixed on the precalculated position, select the height and the position of groove 1012 and 1022 simultaneously, even so that with cartridge 1010 and 1020 front and back or when being fixed on the precalculated position upside down, this C shape part 159 still can enter in groove 1012 and 1022.In addition, although it is identical near the groove 1014 at the back side and 1024 geometry on the side with the geometry of the groove 560b of cartridge 500 shown in Figure 1, in vertical direction, groove 1014 and 1024 front portion are wideer than shown in Figure 1, therefore, even insert cartridge upside down, the upper end of C shape part 159 still can with the situation of slot part 1012 and 1022 in identical mode enter groove 1014 and 1024.In this configuration, even cartridge 1010 and 1020 is inserted adapter 1000 with putting the cart before the horse upside down or, also can avoid C shape part 159 that cartridge 1010 and 1020 is remained on and leave the position of groove 1012,1014,1022 and 1024, and can avoid and to pull out cartridge 1010 and 1020 from adapter 1000 again.
