Description

USB control device with various control device function

Technical field

The utility model relates to computer realm, is a kind of USB control device with various control device function specifically.

Background technology

The development of computing machine in recent years is because the prosperity of electronics technology, its primary clustering by the earliest vacuum tube to VLSI (very large scale integrated circuit), because of computing machine has fast throughput, storage volume is big, accuracy is high, transmission is easy, be fit to do the characteristics such as secretarial work of repeated treatments; In addition because the progress of multimedia and sound and light program, the progress of display card, sound card allows user's acousto-optic impression attain a yet higher goal, ink-jet, laser printer make propaganda, DEMO more exquisite, also have PLOTTER, MODEM, also have various expansion adapters, we can see TV, listen to the music, play games, work or the like with computing machine;

Different from the past, computing machine can only be used in simple secretarial work, because various development of technology, allow the computing machine user carry out recreation by computing machine, and general computing machine user is used for carrying out the employed device of recreation, the user was to use keyboard and mouse to carry out recreation in the past, but because keyboard that computing machine is used and mouse initial designs are the uses that is used for processing of computing machine document and control computer, and be not to be to be specifically designed to the usefulness of carrying out recreation, therefore cause user's operate game successfully, also can be because of unsuitable control device, and symptom such as cause user's hand muscle to produce aching;

Therefore the dealer belongs to the design of game-specific control device, design with reference to general domestic type Game device handgrip, and improvement is for being arranged at the control device on the computing machine, only be provided with directionkeys and some control buttons of front, rear, left and right on this control device, its function is carried out recreation easily for user's control device thus; Via the improvement design of carrying out domestic type Game device handgrip, the user can carry out recreation more easily;

Be generally used in the handgrip on the computing machine, the function that only has handgrip mostly when the user must use other control device (as joystick, mouse, keyboard etc.), then must not timing be changed control device, this is not have very much a convenience for the user; In order to solve the above problems, there is the dealer then to develop multifunctional control device, this multifunctional control device be the controller pattern with multiple class be integrated in same control device in, allow the user can prepare a plurality of control device, and only by single control device, can reach the purpose of multi-functional use, its multifunctional control device is now many to carry out function conversion by computer-internal software, and the problem that solving the user needs continuous alternative produces;

" multifunction remote-controller and control method " patent case that No. the 094134279th, the multifunctional control device commonly used such as the Republic of China, the multifunction remote-controller of this patent case comprises a frequency range switch unit, the switching of frequency range is to change the equipment of this control device institute remote control thus, be required function pattern with the operating key emulation on this control device again, to reach the function that same device can be used as different purposes;

Only, multifunction remote-controller is carried out the function of switching controls by each frequency range radiowave, this connected mode need be used the radiowave receiving trap, and may be because factors such as environment, product quality, modes of operation, cause and to connect, or can't switch smoothly between difference in functionality, so for general user, this common structure is very not convenient; In addition, this common structure and other existing multifunctional controller, though brag about the different device of energy emulation, the switching between different device has certain difficulty;

The operating position of comprehensive various multifunctional control devices has following point usually and produces:

1. when multifunctional control device was used on the computer equipment, computer equipment then must be installed loaded down with trivial details software and outside receiving trap, so that multifunctional control device can reach the function of switching through the control of software and hardware; When the user changes different usage platforms (computing machine), then must reinstall software and hardware are set, the service routine that these are loaded down with trivial details for general user, is very not convenient design.

2. when multifunctional control device is used on the computer equipment, mainly come switching control, when software carries out change action, tend to occupy a large amount of memory headrooms by software, and, cause the situation of computer down to produce possibly because of under the situation about repeatedly switching.

3. when multifunctional control device is used on the computer equipment, for computing machine, each control device is respectively different hardware, must can use by the relevant driver of first carry, and when control device commonly used when switching different controller pattern, computing machine must be finished " unloading old hardware "-" carrying additionally new hardware "-steps such as " loading new hardware drive program ", these operations are not only inconvenient, for computing machine new hand, baffled especially burden.

This shows that above-mentioned usual way still has many disappearances, real non-one kindhearted design, and demand urgently being improved.

Every shortcoming that the inventor derives in view of above-mentioned usual way, be urgently to think to be improved innovation, hope can be created connected mode easily, can allow simultaneously a plurality of computer hardwares of computing machine identification simultaneously, after concentrating on studies through taking great pains to attain one's goal for many years, successfully the USB control device that this part has various control device function is finished in research and development finally.
