"Drahtloses Steuerteil für Video- und Computerspiele""Wireless controller for video and computer games"

Die Neuerung betrifft eine drahtlose Signalübertragung der im Steuerteil integrierten Funktionen, sowie den Steuer Signalen weiterer angeschlossener Joysticks oder Steuer geräte. The innovation concerns wireless signal transmission of the functions integrated in the control unit, as well as the control signals of other connected joysticks or control devices.

Die bisher auf dem Markt erhältlichen Joysticks and Steuer ~ gerate haben den Nachteil, daß sie mittels eines Kabels mit dem Computer verbunden sind. Das heißt, man sitzt mit seinem Mitspieler unmittelbar vor dem Bildschirm oder n:uß sich mit langen Verlängerungskabeln behelfen.The joysticks and control devices currently available on the market have the disadvantage that they are connected to the computer via a cable. This means that you sit directly in front of the screen with your fellow player or have to make do with long extension cables.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde diese Abhängigkeit vom Kabel zu beseitigen, und somit ein Steuergerät zu schaffen mit dem man sich frei im Raun) bewegen kann.The innovation is based on the task of eliminating this dependence on the cable and thus creating a control device with which one can move freely in the room.

Diese Aufgabe ist neuerungsgemäß gelöst durch eine drahtlose Signalübertragungseinrichtung, sowie die Anordnung folgender Bedienelemente auf dem Gehabe 1 :This task is solved by a wireless signal transmission device and the arrangement of the following control elements on the device 1 :

- einen Steuerknüppel- a joystick

- eine Signalaustritts Öffnung- a signal exit opening

- zwei Einzelimpulstasten- two single pulse buttons

- einen Schiebeschalter für eine Umschaltung- a slide switch for switching

manueller Einzelimpuls / automatischer Dauerimpulsmanual single pulse / automatic continuous pulse

- eine Leuchtdiode zur optischen Anzeige der Übertragimgs impulse - a light-emitting diode for optical display of the transmission pulses

- einen Drehknopf zum einstellen der automatischen Dauerimpulsgeschwindigkeit- a rotary knob for setting the automatic continuous pulse speed

- Buchsen zum Anschluß weiterer Joysticks oder Steuergeräte.- Sockets for connecting additional joysticks or control devices.

Diese Anordnung gestattet es die Steuersignale des Steuer gerätes, sowie weiterer mit den Buchsen Öa* äbjusw* verbundener Joysticks oder Steuergeräte $ gleichzeitig drahtlos zum Öömpüter zu Übertragen.This arrangement allows the control signals of the control unit, as well as other joysticks or control units $ connected to the sockets Öa* äbjusw*, to be transmitted wirelessly to the receiver at the same time.

Zur Punktion der Schaltung ist ein Signalempfanger, der in der Nähe des Computers steht erforderlich.To puncture the circuit, a signal receiver that is near the computer is required.

Dei? Schalter 5 schaltet diö beiden manuellen Einzelimpüls tasten 4ä und 4b aus und sta^cx dessen eine« ttishert Dauerimpuls ein.The switch 5 switches off the two manual single pulse buttons 4a and 4b and instead switches on a continuous pulse.

Dies sind periodische Steuerimpulse die mit dem Drehknopf 7 in ihrer Geschwindigkeit regelbar sind.These are periodic control pulses whose speed can be adjusted using the rotary knob 7.

Eine optische Kontrolle der Impulsfrequenz erfolgt Über die Leuchtdiode 6.The pulse frequency is visually monitored via the LED 6.

Die au der Vorderfront des Gehäuses 1 ängebraehte Öffnung dient dem Austritt der optisch oder akustisch übertragenen Steuersignalen.The opening on the front of the housing 1 serves to enable the optically or acoustically transmitted control signals to exit.
