[1. Overview]
Hereinafter, an attachment according to an example of the present embodiment and an operation system including the attachment will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the appearance of the strap attachment according to the present embodiment.

  A strap attachment 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of an attachment that can be attached to a controller, and is an attachment having a strap 65. In FIG. 1, only a part of the strap 65 is shown. The user can attach the strap 65 to the game controller by attaching the strap attachment 1 to the game controller described later. Although details will be described later, since the strap attachment 1 can be easily attached to and detached from the game controller by the slide mechanism, according to the present embodiment, the strap can be easily detached from the game controller. Hereinafter, an outline of a strap attachment and an operation system including the strap attachment in the present embodiment will be described.

(1-1: Game device capable of using a strap attachment)
First, an example of a game apparatus that can use the strap attachment 1 (that is, a game apparatus that can be attached to the strap attachment 1) will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams showing an example of a game device in which the strap attachment 1 is used. As shown in FIG. 2, the game apparatus 5 includes a main body device 2, a left controller 3, and a right controller 4. The main device 2 is a device that includes a display 7 and executes various processes in the game device 5. The left controller 3 and the right controller 4 are examples of a controller to which the strap attachment 1 can be attached, and are input devices (also referred to as operation devices) for a user to input. Hereinafter, the left controller 3 and the right controller 4 may be collectively referred to as “controller”.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which the controllers 3 and 4 are removed from the main body device 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the controllers 3 and 4 are detachable from the main body device 2. The left controller 3 can be mounted on the left side of the main unit 2 (the positive side of the x axis shown in FIG. 2). The right controller 4 can be mounted on the right side of the main device 2 (the negative side of the x axis shown in FIG. 2). In this embodiment, the strap attachment 1 can be attached to the controllers 3 and 4 removed from the main body device 2.

  In the present embodiment, the main device 2 and the controllers 3 and 4 each have a slide portion, and the controllers 3 and 4 are attached to the main device 2 by a slide mechanism constituted by the respective slide portions. (Also called connection). Each controller 3 and 4 has a slider as a slide part. The main body device 2 has a rail member that can slidably engage with the slider as a slide portion. In addition, the slider which each controller 3 and 4 has is mentioned later. Although detailed description is omitted about the rail member which the main body apparatus 2 has, the rail member which the main body apparatus 2 has can be slidably engaged with the said slider, and the strap attachment 1 has. This is the same as the rail member (details of this rail member will be described later).

  When the controller is attached to the main body device 2, the user first engages the slider and the rail member by inserting the slider of the controller into the rail member of the main body device 2. The user can attach the controller to the main body device 2 by sliding the slider to the back of the rail member.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the controller is mounted from above the main body device 2 (that is, from the y-axis positive direction side). That is, the controller is mounted on the main body device 2 by inserting a slider (specifically, the lower end of the slider) into the upper end of the rail member. In other words, it can be said that the main device 2 is mounted from under the controller. According to the above, since the controller can be attached to and detached from the main body device 2 while the main body device 2 is placed on the floor, the convenience of attachment and detachment can be improved.

  As described above, according to the game apparatus 5 in the present embodiment, the user can hold and use the entire game apparatus 5 by attaching the controllers 3 and 4 to the main body apparatus 2. At the same time, by removing the controllers 3 and 4 from the main unit 2, only the controller can be gripped and used. The strap attachment in the present embodiment is used by being attached to the controller removed from the main body device 2.

(1-2: Overview of mounting on the controller)
Next, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the outline | summary of mounting | wearing of the strap attachment 1 with respect to a controller is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which a strap attachment is attached to the right controller. In this embodiment, the strap attachment 1 has a rail member that can be slidably engaged with the slider of the right controller 4 (details of the rail member will be described later). Accordingly, the strap attachment 1 can be attached to the right controller 4 by inserting the slider of the right controller 4 into the rail member of the strap attachment 1 as in the case of attaching the right controller 4 to the main body device 2.

At this time, the user may hold the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 while the strap 65 of the strap attachment 1 is passed through the wrist. According to this, for example, in a situation where the user swings and operates the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1, the distance between the user's hand and the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 can be kept within a certain range.

  As described above, the strap attachment 1 in this embodiment can be attached to the right controller 4. However, in other embodiments, the strap attachment may be attachable to the left controller 3. In addition, although mentioned later for details, in this embodiment, the left controller 3 has the same slide member as a right controller. Further, since the rail member of the strap attachment 1 described later is symmetrical (more specifically, symmetrical on both sides in the z-axis direction shown in FIG. 9) with respect to the central axis parallel to the sliding direction, By using the rail member, a strap attachment that can be attached to the left controller 3 can be realized. Further, as will be described later (see “[4. Effects and modifications of the present embodiment]”), the strap attachment can be attached to both the left controller 3 and the right controller 4. Good.

[2. Controller configuration]
Next, a configuration example of the right controller 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a six-sided view illustrating an example of the right controller. In addition, the xyz coordinate system shown in FIG. 6 represents the direction in a front view ((a) shown in FIG. 6).

(2-1: Housing)
As shown in FIG. 6, the right controller 4 includes a housing 10. In the present embodiment, the housing 10 has a longitudinal shape (a shape elongated in the vertical direction in FIG. 6). The housing 10 generally has a rectangular parallelepiped shape having six surfaces. As shown in FIG. 6, the main surface of the housing 10 (in other words, the surface on the front side, ie, the surface on the negative side of the z-axis shown in FIG. 6), the right corner is rounder than the left corner. It has a tinged shape. That is, the connection portion between the upper side surface and the right side surface of the housing 10 and the connection portion between the lower side surface and the right side surface of the housing 10 are the connection portion between the upper side surface and the left side surface, and the lower side surface and the left side surface. Is rounded (in other words, R in chamfering is large). Therefore, when the right controller 4 is connected to the main body device 2 or the strap attachment 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 5), the corner portion of the device including the right controller 4 has a rounded shape. Easy shape.

(2-2: Slider)
As shown in FIG. 6, the right controller 4 includes a slider 11. As described above, the slider 11 is a slide portion for connecting the right controller 4 to the main body device 2 or the strap attachment 1. The slider 11 is provided so as to protrude from the left side surface of the right controller 4 (that is, the side surface on the x axis positive direction side).

  FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a slider provided in the right controller. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the slider 11 shown in FIG. 6 when viewed from the upper side (that is, the y-axis positive direction side). As shown in FIG. 7, the slider 11 generally has a shape in which a cross section perpendicular to the sliding direction (that is, the y-axis direction) is T-shaped.

  Specifically, the slider 11 includes a shaft portion 31 and a top surface portion 32. The shaft portion 31 is provided so as to protrude from the housing 10. The top surface portion 32 is provided on the opposite side of the housing 10 in the shaft portion 31 (that is, the x-axis positive direction side). The width of the top surface portion 32 (that is, the length in the z-axis direction) is wider than the width of the shaft portion 31. Further, the end portion of the top surface portion 32 in the z-axis direction is arranged at a position protruding from the end portion of the shaft portion 31 in the z-axis direction (in other words, the outer position).

  Thus, the slider 11 has a cross-sectional shape in a cross section perpendicular to the sliding direction, and the width of the first portion (that is, adjacent to the side surface) that protrudes from the side surface of the housing 10 (that is, adjacent to the side surface) is It has a shape shorter than the width of the second portion (that is, the top surface portion 32) located farther from the side surface of the housing 10 than the first portion. Although details will be described later, the slider 11 engaged with the rail member is fixed with respect to the rail member in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction by the above-described shape (see FIG. 13).

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, the right controller 4 includes a protrusion 27. As shown in FIG. 7, the protruding portion 27 is provided so as to protrude from the side surface of the shaft portion 31 of the slider 11. Specifically, a hole is provided in the side surface of the shaft portion 31, and the protruding portion 27 is provided so as to protrude from the hole. In addition, the protruding portion 27 protrudes from the side surface of the shaft portion 31 and moves from the protruding state toward the inside of the side surface (referred to as an accommodation state. However, the protruding portion 27 is inside the shaft portion 31. It is not necessary to be completely housed in the housing.) In the present embodiment, the protrusion 27 is urged so as to be in the protruding state by an elastic member (also referred to as an urging member) such as a spring.

  The protrusion 27 is used to lock the sliding movement of the right controller 4 with respect to the main body device 2 in a state where the right controller 4 is attached to the main body device 2 (referred to as a mounting state). Here, the rail member of the main body device 2 is formed with a notch at a position corresponding to the protrusion 27 in the mounted state. Although not shown, the notch in the rail member of the main unit 2 is formed at the same position as a notch (details will be described later) provided in the rail member of the strap attachment 1 (see FIG. 10). In the present embodiment, the protrusion 27 is provided on the upper end side (that is, the y-axis positive direction side) of the slider 11, and the notch is formed on the upper end portion of the rail member. ing. As described above, in the mounted state, the protruding portion 27 in the protruding state is caught by the notch of the rail member. Thus, the protrusion 27 can lock (in other words, lock) the sliding movement of the right controller 4 with respect to the main body device 2.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the right controller 4 includes a release button 28. Although not shown, the release button 28 is configured to be able to move in conjunction with the protrusion 27. Specifically, when the release button 28 is not pressed, the protrusion 27 is in the protruding state, and when the release button 28 is pressed, the protrusion 27 is in the stored state. In the mounted state, when the protruding portion 27 is in the retracted state, the protruding portion 27 is not caught (or hardly caught) by the notch of the rail member. Therefore, in the stored state, the locking (in other words, the lock) by the protrusion 27 is released.

  As described above, by pressing the release button 28, the user can shift the protrusion 27 to the storage state and release the lock by the protrusion 27. Therefore, the user can easily remove the right controller 4 from the main body device 2 by sliding the right controller 4 in a state where the lock is released by pressing the release button 28.

Here, the top surface of the slider is a surface facing substantially the same direction as the surface of the housing 10 on which the slider is provided. In other words, the rail of the main body device 2 when the controller is mounted on the main body device 2. It is a surface facing the bottom surface of the member. The buttons 21 and 22 provided on the top surface of the slider 11 are operated by the user's index finger and / or middle finger, for example, when the user holds the right controller 4 with both hands.

  The buttons 13 to 22 are used for giving instructions according to various programs (for example, an OS program or an application program) executed by the main body device 2.

  A pairing button 23 is provided on the top surface of the slider 11. In the present embodiment, the pairing button 23 is used for instructing processing related to wireless communication between the right controller 4 and the main device 2. The process related to the wireless communication is, for example, a setting process (also referred to as pairing) related to the wireless communication between the right controller 4 and the main device 2, or a process of disconnecting the wireless communication once and then reconnecting (also referred to as a reset process). .

  In the present embodiment, the buttons 21 to 23 provided on the top surface of the slider 11 are provided so as not to protrude from the top surface. That is, the operation surfaces of the buttons 21 to 23 are arranged on the same surface as the top surface of the slider 11 or at a position recessed from the top surface. According to this, in a state where the slider 11 is engaged with the rail member of the main body device 2 or the strap attachment 1, the slider 11 can be smoothly slid with respect to the rail member.

  Although not shown, in the present embodiment, the right controller 4 includes an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor as an example of an input unit. The acceleration sensor detects the magnitude of linear acceleration along predetermined three axis directions (for example, the xyz axis shown in FIG. 6). Note that the acceleration sensor may detect an acceleration in a uniaxial direction or a biaxial direction. Further, the angular velocity sensor detects angular velocities about predetermined three axes (for example, the xyz axis shown in FIG. 6). Note that the angular velocity sensor may detect an angular velocity around one axis or around two axes.

  The main device 2 can calculate information on the movement and / or posture of the right controller 4 based on the detection results of the acceleration sensor and the angular velocity sensor. That is, in the present embodiment, the user can perform an operation of moving the controller itself. In other embodiments, other types of sensors may be used as sensors (for example, inertial sensors) that calculate the movement, posture, and / or position of the controller.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the notification LED 25 is provided on the slider 11 (specifically, the top surface of the slider 11). Thus, the notification LED 25 is disposed at a position where the right controller 4 is not visible when the right controller 4 is mounted on the main body device 2, and is mainly used when the right controller 4 is removed from the main body device 2. In the present embodiment, the notification LED 25 is provided between the second L button 21 and the second R button 22. According to this, for example, when the user grips and uses the right controller 4 with both hands, the second L button 21 is operated with the left index finger and the second R button 22 is operated with the right index finger. The LED 25 can be placed at a position where it can be easily seen (in other words, a position where it is difficult to hide by the user's hand).

  Further, the right controller 4 includes a terminal 26 for electrically connecting to the main body device 2 (or the strap attachment 1). In the present embodiment, the terminal 26 is provided at the lower end portion of the slider 11 (that is, the end portion on the y-axis negative direction side). Although detailed description is omitted, in the present embodiment, the terminal 26 of the right controller 4 and the terminal of the main device 2 (or the terminal of the strap attachment 1) are configured to contact each other in the mounted state. Therefore, in the mounted state, wired communication via the terminal can be performed between the right controller 4 and the main device 2.

  In the present embodiment, the right controller 4 has a function of performing wireless communication with the main body device 2. The communication method between the main device 2 and each controller is arbitrary, but in the present embodiment, the main device 2 and the controllers 3 and 4 can perform communication in accordance with the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard. is there.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the controller can communicate with the main body device 2 in any state of being attached to the main body device 2 and being removed from the main body device 2. For example, the controller transmits data indicating an input to the input unit to the main device 2.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a cross section near the lower end of the slider. FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a partial cross section of the slider 11 in the A-A ′ cross section shown in FIG. 6. In the present specification, “schematically shown” means the size and shape of the constituent elements and between the constituent elements for the purpose of making the constituent elements (for example, sliders in FIG. 8) easy to see. This means that the positional relationship is shown differently from other drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the slider 11 has a protrusion 32 a on the lower end side of the slider 11. The protruding portion 32a is provided to protrude in the sliding direction (more specifically, in the downward direction, that is, the y-axis negative direction) on the lower end side of the slider 11. The protrusion 32 a is provided on the slider 11 on the side far from the housing 10 (that is, the x-axis positive direction side). That is, the protrusion 32 a is provided with a space from the housing 10. The protruding portion 32 a has a facing surface 32 c that faces the housing 10 of the right controller 4. The facing surface 32 c faces a predetermined surface (specifically, the left side surface) of the right controller 4.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the terminal 26 is provided on the facing surface 32c of the protrusion 32a. Therefore, the terminal 26 is disposed in a state where the side facing the housing 10 is exposed. Thus, the terminal 26 is disposed on the back side of the slider 11 (specifically, the protruding portion 32a). As described above, when the terminal 26 is disposed so that the side facing the housing 10 is exposed, the possibility of the terminal 26 coming into contact with the user's hand or other object can be reduced, and the terminal 26 can be protected. Can do. As shown in FIG. 8, the tip of the terminal 26 is located inside the tip of the protrusion 32a (specifically, the tip on the y-axis negative direction side) in the sliding direction. Also by this, the terminal 26 can be protected.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the protrusion part 32a has the wall part 32b. The wall 32b is provided on both sides of the facing surface 32c with respect to the direction parallel to the facing surface 32c and substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction (that is, the z-axis direction). Since the possibility of the terminal 26 coming into contact with the user's hand or other object can be further reduced by the wall portion 32b, the terminal 26 can be more reliably protected.

  Although details will be described later, when the left controller 3 is attached to the main body device 2, a strap attachment 1 to be described later is placed in a space between the terminal 26 (in other words, the protruding portion 32 a) and the left side surface of the housing 10. The stop 54 (FIG. 13) is inserted. As shown in FIG. 8, the protruding portion 32 a is located at the tip in the sliding direction from the facing surface 32 c where the terminal 26 is provided toward the back surface of the facing surface 32 c (in other words, on the left side of the housing 10. It has an inclined surface that is inclined (in a direction away from the surface). According to this, when the left controller 3 is attached to the main body device 2 (or the strap attachment 1), the stop portion 54 of the strap attachment 1 is inserted into the space between the protruding portion 32a and the left side surface of the housing 10. Can be easier.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, a window portion 29 is provided on the lower surface of the housing 10. In the present embodiment, the right controller 4 includes an infrared imaging unit (not shown), and the infrared imaging unit detects a user's hand movement and / or gesture. The window part 29 is provided in order for the camera of the infrared imaging part arrange | positioned inside the housing 10 to image the circumference | surroundings of the right controller 4. FIG. The window 29 is for protecting the lens of the camera of the infrared imaging unit, and is made of a material that transmits light having a wavelength detected by the camera (for example, a transparent material).

  Although not shown, the right controller 4 includes a battery and a power control circuit. The power control circuit is connected to the battery and is also connected to each part of the right controller 4 (specifically, an electronic member such as an electronic circuit that operates by the power of the battery). The power control circuit controls power supply from the battery to each of the above parts. The battery is connected to the terminal 26. Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, the battery is charged by power supply from the strap attachment 1 via the terminal 26.

(2-5: Configuration of the left controller 3)
The left controller 3 has a housing shape (the housing of the left controller 3 has a substantially symmetrical shape with the housing 10 of the right controller 4), and the arrangement of the operation unit (analog stick and button). A configuration different from that of the right controller 4 is provided (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  On the other hand, the left controller 3 has a configuration similar to that of the right controller 4 with respect to a slide portion (specifically, a slider). The right controller 4 is different in that a slider is provided on the left side surface of the housing 10, whereas the left controller 3 is different in that a slider is provided on the right side surface of the housing (see FIG. 3). However, in the present embodiment, the right controller 4 and the left controller 3 are the same for the slider and the members provided on the slider (specifically, the buttons 21-24 and the notification LED 25). .

  Similarly to the right controller 4, the left controller 3 includes an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and the user can perform an operation of moving the left controller 3 itself.

  In the present embodiment, a second L button and a second R button are provided on the top surfaces of the sliders of the controllers 3 and 4. The second L button and the second R button are arranged at the same position in the left controller 3 and the right controller 4 in the vertical direction (that is, the y-axis direction).

  In the present embodiment, notification LEDs (four notification LEDs in the present embodiment) are provided on the top surfaces of the sliders of the controllers 3 and 4. This LED for notification is arrange | positioned in the same position with the left controller 3 and the right controller 4 regarding the up-down direction (namely, y-axis direction).

  In each of the controllers 3 and 4, the shape, number, and installation position of each component (specifically, slider, stick, button, LED, etc.) provided in the housing are arbitrary. For example, in other embodiments, each of the controllers 3 and 4 may include a direction input unit of a type different from the analog stick. Further, the slider may be disposed at a position corresponding to the position of the rail member provided in the main body device 2, and may be disposed on the main surface or the back surface of the housing, for example. In another embodiment, the controllers 3 and 4 may be configured not to include some of the above-described components.

[3. Configuration of strap attachment]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 9-21, the structural example of the strap attachment 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 9 is a six-sided view illustrating an example of a strap attachment. In addition, the xyz coordinate system shown in FIG. 9 represents the direction in a front view ((a) shown in FIG. 9).

(3-1: Configuration related to housing)
As shown in FIG. 9, the strap attachment 1 includes a housing 41. The shape of the housing 41 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the housing 41 has a front side (that is, z-axis negative direction side) mounting portion 41a and a rear gripping portion 41b (FIG. 9 (c) )reference). The attachment part 41a and the grip part 41b may be configured to be integrally formed, or may be configured to connect two members formed separately.

  The attachment part 41a is a part to which the right controller 4 is attached. As shown in FIG. 9, the attachment portion 41a has a longitudinal shape (a shape that is long in the vertical direction in FIG. 9). The mounting portion 41a includes a mounting surface (in other words, a right side surface, that is, a surface on the negative x-axis side), and a button arrangement surface (in other words, a left side surface, that is, a surface on the x-axis positive direction side). Have. A rail member 42 for mounting the right controller 4 is provided on the mounting surface. Buttons 46 and 47 are provided on the button arrangement surface. In addition, since the rail member 42 is provided in the mounting surface, it can also be called a housing including the rail member 42. That is, the rail member 42 can also be said to be a part of the housing.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, in the mounting portion 41a, the end portions on both sides of the button arrangement surface in the sliding direction (that is, the y-axis direction) are formed with rounded curved surfaces. According to this, a corner portion of a device (hereinafter referred to as “a controller device with a strap”) constituted by the strap attachment 1 and the right controller 4 to which the strap attachment 1 is attached can be formed round. (See FIG. 5). As a result, it is possible to provide an apparatus that is easy for the user to hold.

  On the other hand, the grip portion 41b is a portion that the user grips when the right controller 4 is attached to the strap attachment 1 (referred to as “attached state”). That is, when the user grips the controller device with the strap with one hand or both hands, when operating the button provided on the main surface of the controller (that is, the surface on the negative side of the z-axis) with the thumb, Hold with some fingers to support the grip.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the grip portion 41 b has a bottom surface 41 c. The bottom surface 41c extends in a direction away from the mounting surface from the rear side of the mounting surface of the mounting portion 41a. The bottom surface 41c is substantially perpendicular to the mounting surface. In the mounted state, the bottom surface 41c faces the back surface of the housing 10 of the right controller 4 (that is, the surface on the z-axis positive direction side) (see FIG. 6). In the present embodiment, the bottom surface 41c is arranged so as not to contact the back surface of the housing 10 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state (however, an elastic member 44 described later contacts the back surface). Accordingly, the possibility that the bottom surface 41c of the strap attachment 1 may damage the right controller 4 when the strap attachment 1 is attached to or removed from the right controller 4 can be reduced. In other embodiments, the bottom surface 41c may contact the back surface of the housing 10 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the strap attachment 1 has an elastic member 44 provided on the bottom surface 41c. The elastic member 44 is provided at a position in contact with the right controller 4 in the mounted state. The elastic member 44 is provided so as to protrude (slightly) from the bottom surface 41c (see FIG. 9D). Accordingly, since the right controller 4 contacts the elastic member 44 in the mounted state, rattling between the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 can be reduced by the elastic member 44, and the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 can be reduced. It can be connected more securely. Further, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to or removed from the right controller 4, the possibility that the bottom surface 41c of the strap attachment 1 damages the right controller 4 can be further reduced. Further, when the right controller 4 vibrates by a vibrator (not shown), the vibration of the right controller 4 can be effectively transmitted to the strap attachment 1 via the elastic member 44. In addition, it is possible to reduce sound generated during vibration (so-called chatter noise).

  As shown in FIG. 9, the elastic member 44 is provided on the bottom surface 41c on the opposite side of the rail member 42 from the center of the bottom surface 41c (that is, the x-axis negative direction side). More specifically, the elastic member 44 includes the rail member 42 in the region of the bottom surface 41c (more precisely, the region of the bottom surface 41c and the region facing the back surface of the right controller 4 in the mounted state). Provided at the opposite end. In this way, by making the elastic member 44 prevent contact between the bottom surface 41c and the right controller 4 on the opposite side of the rail member 42 connected to the right controller 4, the entire bottom surface 41c contacts the right controller 4. Can be difficult. Thereby, the possibility that the bottom surface 41c damages the right controller 4 can be further reduced.

  Further, the elastic member 44 has an operation unit (specifically, the analog stick 12 and the buttons 13 to 16) provided on the main surface of the right controller 4 in the mounted state in the vertical direction (that is, the y-axis direction). Is provided at a position corresponding to. The analog stick 12 and the buttons 13 to 16 are operation units that are assumed to be operated frequently during use of the controller device with the strap. Specifically, the operation unit is provided in a predetermined region of the main surface of the right controller 4 (that is, a region A surrounded by a one-dot chain line shown in FIG. 6). The elastic member 44 is provided at a position facing a region corresponding to the predetermined region (that is, a region on the back surface) on the back surface of the right controller 4 in the mounted state (see FIG. 9). Note that a region B surrounded by a one-dot chain line shown in FIG. 9 indicates a region facing the region on the back surface of the right controller 4 corresponding to the predetermined region on the bottom surface 41c. Thus, the elastic member 44 is provided at a position overlapping the region B in the vertical direction.

  Here, since the operation part is assumed to be operated frequently, the predetermined region A in the housing 10 of the right controller 4 has a direction from the front side to the rear side (that is, the z-axis positive direction). It is thought that power is easily applied. Therefore, if the elastic member 44 is not provided on the bottom surface 41c, the predetermined area A of the housing 10 may easily come into contact with the bottom surface 41c. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by arranging the elastic member 44 in the region B corresponding to the predetermined region A, the back surface of the right controller 4 is effectively brought into contact with the bottom surface 41c of the strap attachment 1. Can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the gripping part 41b has a protruding part facing surface 41d. The protruding portion facing surface 41d is a surface facing the protruding portion of the housing 10 of the right controller 4 (that is, the protruding portion provided around the ZR button 20) in the mounted state. Specifically, the protrusion facing surface 41d extends upward and obliquely rearward from the upper side of the bottom surface 41c. In other words, the bottom surface 41c is formed so as to have a notch in the upper end portion. The upper side of the bottom surface 41c is provided so as to be located slightly below the protruding portion of the right controller 4 in the mounted state.

  With the above configuration, the protrusion facing surface 41d faces the protrusion of the right controller 4 in the mounted state. In the present embodiment, in order to reduce the possibility that the protrusion facing surface 41d may damage the right controller 4, the protrusion facing surface 41d is provided so as not to contact the protrusion in the mounted state. However, in other embodiments, the protrusion-facing surface 41d may contact the protrusion in the mounted state. Further, in the mounted state, the bottom surface 41c can avoid the protrusion of the right controller 4 due to the notch formed by the protrusion facing surface 41d. As described above, the right controller 4 having the protrusion on the back surface can be attached to the strap attachment 1 by the protrusion facing surface 41d. Further, the user can operate the ZR button 20 of the right controller 4 even in the mounted state.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the grip portion 41b has a release button contact surface 41e. The release button contact surface 41e is a surface that contacts (in other words, presses) the release button 28 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state. Specifically, the release button contact surface 41e is provided at a position facing the release button 28 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state. The release button contact surface 41e is provided on the rear side (that is, the z-axis positive direction side) with respect to the bottom surface 41c. Specifically, the distance between the bottom surface 41c and the release button contact surface 41e in the front-rear direction is the length in the front-rear direction of the release button 28 in the protruding state (in other words, the release button 28 protrudes from the housing 10). Shorter than the length). In other embodiments, the release button contact surface 41e may be provided at the same position as the bottom surface 41c in the front-rear direction, or may be provided in front of the bottom surface 41c.

  With the above configuration, in the mounted state, the release button contact surface 41e contacts the release button 28 of the right controller 4 and presses the release button 28 slightly. As a result, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, unlike the state in which the right controller 4 is attached to the main body device 2, the protruding portion 27 does not enter the protruding state but is engaged with the rail member. Does not stop (or hardly locks). Therefore, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, it is not necessary for the user to press the release button 28 when removing the strap attachment 1 from the right controller 4. Although details will be described later, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, the locking portion 43 of the strap attachment 1 is slidably moved by the right controller 4 relative to the strap attachment 1 instead of the protrusion 27. Has a role of locking (in other words, locking).

  In the present embodiment, the grip portion 41b can store a battery. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the grip portion 41 b has a battery lid 41 f. The battery lid 41f is configured to be detachable from the main body of the grip portion 41b (that is, a portion other than the battery lid 41f). In the present embodiment, a battery is disposed inside the battery lid 41f inside the grip portion 41b. The battery may be a primary battery or a secondary battery. The user can replace the battery by removing the battery cover 41f. The battery is for supplying power to the right controller 4 to which the strap attachment 1 is attached. Although details will be described later, the strap attachment 1 supplies power from the battery to the right controller 4 to which the strap attachment 1 is attached.

(3-2: Configuration related to rail member)
As shown in FIG. 9, the strap attachment 1 includes a rail member 42. The rail member 42 is an example of a slide portion that can be slidably engaged with the slider 11 of the right controller 4. The rail member 42 is provided on the mounting surface of the housing 41. In other embodiments, the rail member 42 may be configured integrally with the housing 41. That is, a part of the housing 41 may function as a rail member.

  FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the rail member shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a rail member viewed from the sliding direction. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the rail member 42 has a bottom surface portion 51, side surface portions 52a and 52b, and facing portions 53a and 53b. In the following, the side surface portions 52a and 52b may be collectively referred to as “side surface portion 52”. Further, “opposing part 53” may be described as a general term for the opposing parts 53a and 53b. In this embodiment, each part 51-53 is a substantially plate-shaped member.

  The bottom surface portion 51 is disposed substantially parallel to the mounting surface on the mounting surface of the housing 41. The bottom surface portion 51 has the bottom surface of the rail member 42. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the side surface portion 52 has a side surface substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface. The side surface portion 52 extends substantially perpendicularly to the bottom surface portion 51 from both ends of the bottom surface portion 51 in the width direction (that is, the z-axis direction). Specifically, the side surface portion 52a extends from one end side (that is, the z-axis negative direction side) of the bottom surface portion 51, and the side surface portion 52b extends from the other end side (that is, the z-axis positive direction side) of the bottom surface portion 51. Extend. As shown in FIG. 11, a groove portion is formed by the bottom surface portion 51 and the side surface portion 52.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the facing portion 53 is provided extending from each of the two side surfaces of the side surface portion 52 and has a surface facing the bottom surface. The facing portion 53 extends in the side surface portion 52 from a side opposite to the side to which the bottom surface portion 51 is connected (that is, the x-axis negative direction side) in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom surface. Specifically, the facing portion 53a extends from the end portion of the side surface portion 52a on the x-axis negative direction side, and the facing portion 53b extends from the end portion of the side surface portion 52b on the x-axis negative direction side. The facing portions 53a and 53b are provided so as to protrude from the side surface portion 52 toward the inside of the rail member 42 (in other words, protrude in a direction approaching each other). Further, the facing portion 53a and the facing portion 53b are spaced apart from each other so that the slider of the controller can be inserted into the groove formed by the bottom surface portion 51 and the side surface portion 52 (FIG. 11). ).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a state in which the slider of the right controller and the rail member of the strap attachment are engaged. When the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, the rail member 42 and the slider 11 as shown in FIG. 12 are inserted by inserting the slider 11 of the right controller 4 into the groove of the rail member 42. And become engaged. In this state, the slider 11 engaged with the rail member 42 is slidable in the sliding direction (that is, the y-axis direction) and is opposed in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction (that is, the x-axis direction). It is fixed by the portion 53 so that it does not come off.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a notch C1 is formed in a part of the upper end portion (that is, the end portion on the y-axis positive direction side) of the facing portion 53. The notch C <b> 1 is formed at a position corresponding to the protrusion 27 of the right controller 4 when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4. Note that, as described above, in the mounted state, the release button 28 of the right controller 4 is pressed by the release button contact surface 41e, so that the protrusion 27 is not (almost) locked to the facing portion 53.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the rail member 42 has a stop portion 54. The stop unit 54 stops the sliding movement in the insertion direction (that is, the y-axis negative direction) by the slider 11 of the right controller 4 inserted into the rail member 42. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the upper end of the rail member 42 (that is, the end on the y-axis positive direction side) is opened so that the slider 11 of the right controller 4 can be inserted. On the other hand, the stop portion 54 is provided at the lower end portion of the rail member 42. Therefore, the stop part 54 stops the sliding movement of the slider 11 by contacting the slider 11 inserted from the upper side in the sliding direction.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the stop portion 54 includes a first portion disposed on one side of an axis along the slide direction (that is, the y-axis), and the other side. 2nd part arrange | positioned. In the present embodiment, the first part and the second part are arranged with a space therebetween. The distance between the first part and the second part is so narrow that the slider 11 cannot be inserted. Therefore, when the slider 11 is inserted into the rail member 42, the sliding movement of the slider 11 is stopped at the position where the portion near the tip of the slider 11 is in contact with the stop portion 54. In other embodiments, there may be no gap between the first portion and the second portion. That is, the first part and the second part may be integrally formed.

  In another embodiment, instead of (or together with) the stop portion 54 coming into contact with the slider 11, the tip of the slider 11 (specifically, the tip of the protruding portion 32 a) The sliding movement of the slider 11 may be stopped by contacting a wall surface provided in the back.

  In the present embodiment, the “state where the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4 (ie, the attached state)” means a state where the slide movement of the slider 11 is substantially stopped by the stop portion 54. is there. This mounting state is not limited to the state in which the slider 11 is in contact with the stop portion 54, but even if the slider 11 and the stop portion 54 are not strictly in contact (the gap between the slider 11 and the stop portion 54 is This includes a state in which the slider can hardly move in the insertion direction (because there is little).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a cross section near the lower end of the rail member. FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a partial cross section of the rail member 42 in the C-C ′ cross section illustrated in FIG. 10.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the stop portion 54 is provided at a position facing a part of the bottom surface portion 51 (specifically, a portion near the lower end of the bottom surface portion 51) with a space from the bottom surface portion 51. The stop portion 54 has a facing surface that faces the bottom surface portion 51. The facing surface is a surface facing the housing 41 (in other words, the mounting surface) of the strap attachment 1. In the present embodiment, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, the slider 11 (more specifically, the protruding portion 32a) of the right controller 4 is placed in the space between the bottom surface portion 51 and the stop portion 54. Is inserted.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the strap attachment 1 includes a terminal 55. The terminal 55 is provided on the facing surface of the stop portion 54. As shown in FIG. 13, the terminal 55 is arranged in a state where the side facing the bottom surface portion 51 is exposed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the terminal 55 is a member on the back surface of the strap attachment 1 (in other words, the stop portion 54) that is spaced apart from the attachment surface (in other words, the bottom surface portion 51). (That is, the side facing the bottom surface portion 51). According to this, possibility that the terminal 55 will contact a user's hand or another object can be reduced, and the terminal 55 can be protected.

  In the present embodiment, in the mounted state, the protruding portion 32 a of the slider 11 of the right controller 4 is inserted between the bottom surface portion 51 of the rail member 42 of the strap attachment 1 and the stop portion 54. In the mounted state, the terminal 26 provided on the projecting portion 32a and the terminal 55 provided on the stop portion 54 come into contact with each other. Therefore, in the wearing state, the strap attachment 1 and the right controller 4 are electrically connected.

  In the present embodiment, the strap attachment 1 supplies the battery power to the right controller 4 in the mounted state. Specifically, the strap attachment 1 includes a power supply control unit that supplies the battery power to the right controller 4 via the terminal 55. The battery of the right controller 4 is charged by the power supplied from the strap attachment 1 via the terminal 26. Note that the strap attachment 1 may supply power to the right controller 4 under a predetermined condition in the mounted state. For example, the strap attachment 1 may supply power to the right controller 4 when the remaining amount of the battery of the right controller 4 is equal to or less than a predetermined amount, or supply power to the right controller 4 according to an instruction from the right controller 4. May be performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user can charge the right controller 4 by attaching the strap attachment 1 to the right controller 4. Therefore, for example, when the power of the battery of the right controller 4 is exhausted, the user can use the right controller 4 continuously by attaching the strap attachment 1 to the right controller 4.

  In other embodiments, communication via a terminal may be performed between the strap attachment 1 and the right controller 4 in the mounted state. For example, information regarding the remaining amount of the battery may be transmitted and received between the strap attachment 1 and the right controller 4 via a terminal.

  As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the strap attachment 1 is provided with the rail member 42 provided along a slide direction as a slide part. According to this, when the slider 11 of the right controller 4 is inserted into the rail member 42 of the strap attachment 1, the strap attachment 1 can be easily slid (also referred to as the slide movement of the right controller 4).

  In addition, in other embodiment, the slide part with which the strap attachment 1 is provided does not need to be comprised with the single member extended in a slide direction, and may be comprised by the several member arrange | positioned along a slide direction. Good. For example, the strap attachment 1 may include a plurality of members having the same cross-sectional shape as the rail member 42 (specifically, a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the sliding direction) instead of the rail member 42. At this time, the plurality of members are arranged along the slide direction. The strap attachment 1 can be slidably engaged with the slider 11 of the right controller 4 by such a plurality of members.

  In the present embodiment, the rail member 42 is made of metal. According to this, the strength of the rail member can be improved. Further, the strength of the housing 41 itself provided with the rail member can also be improved. In the present embodiment, the housing 41 is made of resin. In another embodiment, the material of the rail member 42 is arbitrary, and may be formed of, for example, a resin (which may be a resin harder than the resin constituting the housing 41).

  In other embodiments, the strap attachment 1 may include an elastic member provided on the rail member 42. For example, the elastic member is provided on the bottom surface of the rail member 42 and is provided so as to protrude from the bottom surface. The elastic member may be made of any elastic material, for example, rubber or a leaf spring made of metal or resin. The elastic member contacts the slider 11 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state. That is, the elastic member applies a force in a direction away from the bottom surface of the rail member 42 to the slider 11 in the mounted state. Therefore, rattling between the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 can be reduced by the elastic member, and the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 can be more securely connected. Further, when the right controller 4 is vibrated by a vibrator (not shown), it is possible to reduce sound generated during vibration.

(3-3: Configuration related to locking portion)
As shown in FIG. 9, the strap attachment 1 includes a locking portion 43. Although details will be described later, the locking portion 43 locks the sliding movement in the removal direction opposite to the insertion direction when the strap attachment 1 is mounted on the right controller 4. The locking part 43 can reduce the possibility that the strap attachment 1 is detached from the right controller 4.

  14 and 15 are diagrams illustrating an example of a state in which the locking portion moves. 14 is a perspective view of the locking portion as viewed from above, and FIG. 15 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a partial cross section of the strap attachment 1 in the B-B ′ cross section shown in FIG. 9. In FIG. 15, the components not related to the description, such as the grip portion 41 b of the housing 41, are omitted for the purpose of making the components related to the description easy to see.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the locking portion 43 is provided at the upper end (that is, the y-axis positive direction side) end portion of the rail member 42. More specifically, the locking portion 43 is provided above the rail member 42. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the locking portion 43 is locked to the end portion (specifically, the upper end) of the slider 11 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state (details will be described later). According to this, it can suppress effectively that the strap attachment 1 remove | deviates from the right controller 4 in a mounting state. In the present embodiment, by disposing the locking portion 43 above the rail member 42, it is not necessary to provide a mechanism related to locking in the rail member 42, so that the configuration of the rail member 42 can be simplified. it can. Moreover, since the latching | locking part 43 is located in the upper end of the strap attachment 1, the user can perform operation with respect to the latching | locking part 43 easily.

  In other embodiments, the locking portion 43 may be provided at a position other than the upper end of the rail member 42. For example, the locking portion 43 may be provided above the center of the rail member 42 in the sliding direction. At this time, the slider 11 of the right controller 4 has a shape in which the locking portion 43 can be locked in the mounted state.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the locking portion 43 is movable in a direction different from the sliding direction. In the present embodiment, the locking portion 43 is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction (specifically, the x-axis direction), and is movable between the locking position and the release position. (See FIGS. 14 and 15).

  As shown in FIGS. 14A and 15A, when the locking portion 43 is located at the locking position, the locking portion 43 closes a part of the insertion opening at the upper end of the rail member 42. Here, the insertion opening of the rail member 42 is a portion surrounded by the upper ends of the respective parts 51 to 53 of the rail member 42 (in other words, the upper ends of the aforementioned groove portions). That is, when attaching the strap attachment 1 to the right controller 4, the slider 11 of the right controller 4 is inserted into the insertion slot. The locking position is a position where the locking portion 43 protrudes from the bottom surface of the rail member 42 toward the facing portion 53 (in other words, on the x-axis negative direction side).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 14B and 15B, when the locking portion 43 is located at the open position, the locking portion 43 opens the insertion port at the upper end of the rail member 42 (in other words, Do not block the insertion slot). The open position is a position where the locking portion 43 does not protrude (or substantially does not protrude) from the bottom surface of the rail member 42. The open position is a position where the top surface of the slider 11 does not contact the locking portion 43 when the slider 11 engaged with the rail member 42 slides.

  From the above, the locking portion 43 in the locking position protrudes from a predetermined surface along the sliding direction (that is, the bottom surface of the rail member 42) than the state in which the locking portion 43 is in the open position. It is possible to catch the right controller 4 in the mounted state. Thereby, the locking part 43 can take a state of locking the right controller 4 and a state of not locking (or hardly locking).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the latching | locking part 43 can move to the direction substantially perpendicular | vertical with respect to a sliding direction. Even if a force is applied to the slider 11 to move upward with respect to the strap attachment 1, the possibility that the locking portion 43 moves from the locking position to the open position due to the force can be reduced. According to this, even if a force for removing the strap attachment 1 from the right controller 4 is applied, the possibility that the strap attachment 1 is detached from the right controller 4 can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the locking portion 43 is biased in the direction from the open position to the locking position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the strap attachment 1 includes a spring 61 as a biasing member that biases the locking portion 43. Since the locking portion 43 is biased by the spring 61, it is positioned at the locking position in a normal state (that is, a state where no force is applied by the user or the like). According to this, in the mounted state, the locking portion 43 can maintain a state in which the right controller 4 is locked (for example, even if the user is not pressing the locking portion 43).

  In addition, the mechanism for urging the latching | locking part 43 is arbitrary, In other embodiment, mechanisms other than the mechanism shown in FIG. 15 may be used. In other embodiments, the strap attachment 1 may include a release button. The release button is configured to move in conjunction with the locking portion 43, and specifically, the locking portion 43 is configured to move to the open position in response to the release button being pressed. According to this, the user can move the locking portion 43 from the locking position to the open position by pressing the release button. Since the user can move the locking portion 43 with the release button without operating the locking portion 43 itself, the user's convenience can be improved.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the locking portion 43 has an inclined surface 43 a that is inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the rail member 42. The inclined surface 43a is a surface that inclines in the direction from the locking position to the opening position toward the upper side at the upper end (that is, the y-axis positive direction side) of the locking portion 43. According to this, the user can easily move the locking portion 43 to the open position by applying a force so as to push the inclined surface 43a toward the open position (or down). In the present embodiment, the right controller 4 is located beside the locking portion 43 (that is, on the x axis negative direction side) in the mounted state. In this regard, since the locking portion 43 has the inclined surface 43a, the user can easily put a finger between the locking portion 43 and the right controller 4, and can easily operate the locking portion 43.

  In the present embodiment, a concave portion 43 b is formed on the inclined surface 43 a of the locking portion 43. Thereby, since the user can hook a finger or a nail into the recess 43b, it becomes easier to operate the locking portion 43. Further, when the slider 11 of the right controller 4 is slid with respect to the rail member 42 by the recess 43b, the second L button 21 and the second R button 22 provided on the slider 11 are less likely to contact the locking portion 43. Thereby, the slider 11 can be slid and moved more smoothly with respect to the rail member 42.

  In other embodiments, the strap attachment 1 may not be provided with the locking portion 43. At this time, the protrusion 27 of the right controller 4 is locked to the rail member 42 of the strap attachment 1 in the mounted state. When the strap attachment 1 does not include the locking portion 43, the grip portion 41b may not be provided with the release button contact surface 41b and may be provided so as not to contact the right controller 28 in the mounted state. According to this, since the release button 28 is not pressed in the mounted state, the protrusion 27 can be more firmly locked to the rail member 42. At this time, the gripper 41b is configured in a shape that allows the user to press the release button 28 in the mounted state.

(Installation operation)
FIG. 16 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of an operation when the strap attachment is attached to the right controller. Hereinafter, an operation when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 16A shows a state before the slider 11 of the right controller 4 is inserted into the rail member 42 of the strap attachment 1. When attaching the strap attachment 1 to the right controller 4, as shown in FIG. 16, the user inserts the lower end of the slider 11 into the insertion opening at the upper end of the rail member 42.

  FIG. 16B shows a state when the slider 11 is inserted into the insertion opening of the rail member 42. Here, in the state shown in FIG. 16A, since the locking portion 43 is in the locking position, the user moves the locking portion 43 to the open position in order to insert the slider 11 into the insertion port. The user may move the locking portion 43 to the open position with a finger, or may move the locking portion 43 to the open position by bringing the slider 11 into contact with the locking portion 43. In the present embodiment, since the locking portion 43 has the inclined surface 43a, the user releases the locking portion 43 by moving the slider 11 downward while the slider 11 is in contact with the locking portion 43. It can be moved smoothly to the position.

  After the slider 11 is inserted into the rail member 42, the user moves the slider 11 to the back of the rail member 42 (downward in FIG. 16) to put the right controller 4 and the strap attachment 1 into the mounted state. . FIG. 16C shows the wearing state. In the mounted state, the slider 11 does not come into contact with the locking portion 43, so that the locking portion 43 is returned to the locking position by the spring 61. At this time, the locking portion 43 is in a state of closing (at least a part of) the insertion port and is hooked on the upper end of the slider 11. Thereby, the latching | locking part 43 can latch the movement to the extraction direction of the right controller 4 in a mounting state.

(Removal operation)
FIG. 17 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of an operation when the strap attachment is detached from the right controller. Hereinafter, an operation when the strap attachment 1 is detached from the right controller 4 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 17A shows the mounting state. When removing the strap attachment 1 from the right controller 4 in the attached state, the user moves the locking portion 43 to the open position.

  FIG. 17B shows a state where the locking portion 43 has been moved to the open position. In a state where the locking portion 43 has moved to the open position, the locking portion 43 opens the insertion port of the rail member 42. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14B, the upper end of the slider 11 is exposed from the insertion port, and the locking (in other words, locking) by the locking portion 43 is released. In the above state, since the slider 11 can move upward with respect to the rail member 42, the user moves the right controller 4 upward with respect to the strap attachment 1, so that the strap is removed from the right controller 4. Attachment 1 can be removed.

  FIG. 17C shows a state where the slider 11 is moved upward with respect to the rail member 42. FIG. 17C shows a state in the middle of removing the strap attachment 1 from the right controller 4. From this state, the strap attachment 1 can be removed from the right controller 4 by moving the slider 11 further upward with respect to the rail member 42. In the above state, the locking portion 43 is in contact with the slider 11 and therefore does not return to the locking position. Therefore, the user can release the hand from the locking portion 43 and perform the removal operation. After the strap attachment 1 is removed from the right controller 4, the locking portion 43 returns to the locking position.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since the release button 28 of the right controller 4 is pressed by the release button abutting surface 41e in the mounted state, the protrusion 27 of the right controller 4 is connected to the strap attachment 1. The rail member 42 is not (almost) locked. Therefore, the user can perform the removal operation without pressing the release button 28.

(3-4: Configuration related to the strap)
FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an entire example of a strap attachment including a strap. As shown in FIG. 18, the strap attachment 1 includes a strap 65. The strap 65 is a string-like member such as a string or a rope, and has an annular shape. As described above, the strap 65 is used to pass the strap 65 through the wrist when the user holds the controller device with the strap.

  In the present embodiment, the strap 65 is fixedly attached to the housing 41. Specifically, a shaft portion is provided inside the housing 41 (specifically, a lower portion of the housing 41). Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the housing 41 (specifically, the gripping portion 41b) is provided with a hole 41h. The strap 65 is provided so as to extend from the hole 41h to the outside of the housing 41 in a state where the strap 65 is passed through the shaft portion. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the strap 65 can be fixedly attached to the housing 41. According to this embodiment, the strap 65 can be firmly attached to the housing 41.

  In other embodiments, the strap attachment 1 may be configured such that the strap can be detachably attached. That is, the strap attachment 1 may include a strap attachment portion for attaching the strap instead of (or together with) the strap. For example, the strap attachment portion may be provided in the housing 41 (more specifically, a portion below the center of the housing 41) and may have a hole. At this time, the strap may be attached by passing the strap through the hole. In the present embodiment, since the strap 65 is attached to the shaft portion, the shaft portion corresponds to the strap attachment portion. In other embodiments, the position of the strap attachment portion is arbitrary, and may be provided in the center of the housing 41 or in a portion above the center.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the present embodiment, the strap 65 has an adjustment portion 66. The adjustment unit 66 is a member for adjusting the size of the ring by the string-like member of the strap 65. Specifically, the adjustment unit 66 has an adjustment button 66a. Although the specific mechanism of the adjustment part 66 is arbitrary, in this embodiment, the adjustment part 66 can be easily moved with respect to the string-like member of the strap 65 in a state where the adjustment button 66a is pressed. In a state where the adjustment button 66a is not pressed, the adjustment portion 66 can be fixed to the string-like member of the strap 65 (in other words, it is difficult to move). Thereby, the user can adjust the size of the ring by the string-like member using the adjustment unit 66 so that the strap 65 does not come off from the wrist.

  In other embodiments, the strap may be connected to the housing 41 at two locations. For example, the strap includes an upper end portion (that is, an end portion on the y-axis positive direction side) and a lower end portion (that is, the y-axis negative direction side) of the housing 41 (more specifically, the grip portion 41b). May be connected to the end of the head. At this time, the user holds the controller device with the strap through the hand, the finger, or the wrist between the strap and the housing 41. This also allows the distance between the user's hand and the controller device with the strap to be within a certain range by the strap as in the above embodiment. The strap may be a stretchable member such as rubber.

(3-5: Configuration related to buttons)
As shown in FIG. 9, the strap attachment 1 includes a first button 46 and a second button 47. These buttons 46 and 47 are provided for operating the second L button 21 and the second R button 22 of the right controller 4 when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the buttons 46 and 47 are provided so as to protrude from the button arrangement surface of the housing 41. The first button 46 is provided at a position below the center in the vertical direction (that is, the y-axis direction) on the button arrangement surface. The second button 47 is provided at a position above the center in the vertical direction on the button arrangement surface.

  Each button 46 and 47 is urged in a direction protruding from the button arrangement surface. Specifically, the first button 46 is urged by a spring provided inside the housing 41, and the second button 47 is urged by a spring provided inside the housing 41. When the buttons 46 and 47 are not pressed, the operation surface (ie, the surface on the x-axis positive direction side) protrudes from the button arrangement surface by a predetermined first distance. Each button 46 and 47 can be pressed to a position where the operation surface is a predetermined second distance (the second distance is shorter than the first distance) from the button arrangement surface by being pressed by the user.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the first button 46 has a first protrusion 46a. The first protrusion 46 a is provided so as to protrude on the opposite side of the operation surface of the first button 46. The first projecting portion 46a moves in a direction projecting from the surface opposite to the operation surface in response to the first button 46 being pressed. Specifically, the first projecting portion 46a has a first operating position (FIG. 19A). ) To the second operating position (FIG. 19B). The second button 47 has a second protrusion 47a. The second projecting portion 47 a is provided so as to project to the opposite side of the operation surface of the second button 47. The second protrusion 47a is configured to be able to move from the third operation position to the fourth operation position in response to the second button 47 being pressed. Each protrusion part 46a and 47a is a rod-shaped member (refer FIG. 20).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the rail member 42 is provided with holes 42a and 42b. Although not shown, holes are provided on the mounting surface of the housing 41 at positions corresponding to the holes 42a and 42b. The first protrusion 46a is provided so as to protrude from the hole 42a with respect to the bottom surface of the rail member 42. Moreover, the 2nd protrusion part 47a is provided so that it can protrude with respect to the bottom face of the rail member 42 from the hole 42b. The position where the first protrusion 46a protrudes from the bottom surface is a position substantially corresponding to the second L button 21 of the right controller 4 in the mounted state. That is, the position where the first protrusion 46a protrudes from the bottom surface is a position opposite to the position of the second L button 21 in the mounted state, and in the up-down direction (ie, the y-axis direction) and the front-back direction (ie, the z-axis direction). The position is the same as the position of the second L button 21 in the mounted state. Similarly to the first projecting portion 46a, the second projecting portion 47a is located at a position corresponding to the second R button 22 of the right controller 4 when the second projecting portion 47a projects from the bottom surface.

  Note that the cross-sectional area of the protrusion in the cross section perpendicular to the protrusion direction (specifically, the cross-sectional area of the cross section parallel to the yz plane) is smaller than the area of the operation surface of the button on which the protrusion is provided (FIG. 19). reference). According to this, the holes 42a and 42b through which the protrusions 46a and 47a are passed can be made smaller than the operation surfaces of the buttons 46 and 47. In other words, the buttons 46 and 47 can be enlarged and operated easily without increasing the holes 42a and 42b provided in the rail member and / or the housing.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a state where a button on a controller is pressed by a button on a strap attachment. In FIG. 19, the case where the first button 46 presses the second L button 21 in a state where the right controller 4 is attached to the strap attachment 1 will be described as an example, but in other cases (that is, the second button The same applies to the case where 47 presses the second L button of the right controller 4).

  FIG. 19A shows a state where the first button 46 is not pressed (non-pressed state). In the non-pressed state, the first projecting portion 46a projects slightly from the bottom surface of the rail member 42. Therefore, the first protrusion 46a does not press the second L button 21. In the non-pressed state, the first protrusion 46a does not contact the slider 11 (specifically, the top surface of the slider 11). In other embodiments, the first protrusion 46 a may be housed inside the housing 41 without protruding from the bottom surface of the rail member 42 in the non-pressed state.

  On the other hand, FIG. 19B shows a state where the first button 46 is pressed (pressed state). In the pressed state, the first protrusion 46 a protrudes from the bottom surface of the rail member 42. At this time, the first protrusion 46a presses the second L button 21. That is, the user can press the second L button 21 by pressing the first button 46 in the wearing state.

  As described above, in this embodiment, even when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, the user presses the button provided on the strap attachment 1 (button hidden by the strap attachment 1). The second L button 21 and the second R button 22 of the right controller 4 can be operated.

  The first button 46 and the second button 47 can be operated by, for example, the index finger and / or the middle finger of the user when the user holds the controller device with the strap with both hands. That is, the user can operate the buttons 46 and 47 with the same finger as when operating the second L button 21 and the second R button 22 when the strap attachment 1 is not worn.

  In the present embodiment, the area of the operation surface of the buttons of the strap attachment 1 (that is, the first button 46 and the second button 47) is the same as that of the buttons of the right controller 4 (that is, the second L button 21 and the second R button 22). It is larger than the area of the operation surface. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4 and the button of the strap attachment 1 is pressed, the button operation for the user is less than when the button of the right controller 4 is pressed directly. It becomes easier to do. That is, the operability of the right controller 4 can be improved by attaching the strap attachment 1 to the right controller 4.

  In this embodiment, the pairing button 23 provided on the slider 11 of the right controller 4 cannot be operated by the user when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4. It is assumed that the pairing button 23 is used to instruct processing related to wireless communication between the right controller 4 and the main device 2 and is not used during operation of the right controller 4 (for example, during game operation). It is to be done. In another embodiment, a button corresponding to the pairing button 23 may be provided on the strap attachment 1 so that the pairing button 23 can be operated in the mounted state.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the protruding portion. 20 shows the first protrusion 46a shown in FIG. 9, the second protrusion 47a has the same shape as the first protrusion 46a.

  FIG. 20A is a view of the first projecting portion 46a viewed from the projecting direction (that is, from the x-axis negative direction side). As shown in FIG. 20A, the first projecting portion 46a has a cross shape perpendicular to the projecting direction. According to this, strength can be maintained while suppressing the volume of the protrusion 46a. In other embodiments, the first protrusion 46a may have a cylindrical shape or a columnar shape, for example.

  FIG. 20B is a view of the first projecting portion 46a viewed from a direction perpendicular to the projecting direction (that is, from the y-axis negative direction side). As shown in FIG. 20 (b), the tip of the first protrusion 46a has a curved surface shape (specifically, a curved surface shape whose center protrudes). According to this, when the 1st protrusion part 46a presses down the button of the right controller 4, possibility that the button of the right controller 4 will be damaged by the 1st protrusion part 46a can be reduced. Also, if the first button 46 or the second button 47 is pressed (that is, the first protrusion 46a or the second protrusion 47a presses the button of the right controller 4), the user can attach the strap attachment 1 Even when trying to remove the button from the right controller 4, each protrusion 46a or 47a may be caught by the step of the slider 11 (specifically, the step provided around each of the buttons 21 to 23). Can be reduced.

(3-6: Configuration related to light guide)
The strap attachment 1 has a configuration for allowing the user to visually recognize the light from the notification LED of the controller attached to the strap attachment 1. Here, the notification LED of each of the controllers 3 and 4 may be lit to indicate the number assigned to the controller, or may be lit to indicate the remaining battery level of the controller. In such a case, according to said structure, even if the strap attachment 1 is mounted | worn with a controller, it can enable a user to visually recognize the light by the LED for notification of the said controller. Details will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the bottom surface of the rail member 42 (and the mounting surface of the housing 41) is provided with an incident port 71 (that is, a hole in which the incident surface of the light guide member 72 shown in FIG. 21 is provided). The number of entrances 71 is the same as the notification LED 25 of the right controller 4 (here, four). Each entrance 71 is provided at a position corresponding to the notification LED 25 of the right controller 4 attached to the strap attachment 1. That is, the position of each incident port 71 is a position substantially opposite to the position of the notification LED 25 in the mounted state, and more specifically, the vertical direction (that is, the y-axis direction) and the front-back direction (that is, the z-axis). In the direction), the position is the same as the position of the notification LED 25 in the mounted state.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the housing 41 is provided with an emission port 73 (that is, a hole in which the emission surface of the light guide member 72 is provided). The exit apertures correspond to four entrance apertures, and the same number of exit apertures (here, 4) as the entrance apertures are formed. In the present embodiment, the emission port 73 is provided on the button arrangement surface of the housing 41 (see FIG. 9). More specifically, the emission port 73 is provided between the first button 46 and the second button 47. In other embodiments, the emission port 73 may be provided on an arbitrary surface different from the bottom surface (in other words, the mounting surface) of the rail member 42. For example, in other embodiments, the emission port 73 may be provided on the front surface or the rear surface of the housing 41.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which light from the notification LED of the right controller is emitted from the emission port of the strap attachment. As shown in FIG. 21, the strap attachment 1 includes a light guide member 72 inside the housing 41 (more specifically, the attachment portion 41a). The light guide member 72 is a transparent member (specifically, a lens) made of, for example, resin. The light guide member 72 has the same number (four in this case) of lenses as the entrance 71 and the exit 73. In the present embodiment, the light guide member 72 has a configuration in which four lenses are connected to each other and molded integrally so as to facilitate production. However, in other embodiments, each lens may be provided as a separate body. As shown in FIG. 21, each lens of the light guide member 72 has an incident surface (that is, a surface on the x-axis negative direction side) positioned in the vicinity of each incident port 71, and an exit surface (that is, the x-axis positive direction). Are arranged in the vicinity of each exit port 73.

  In the present embodiment, the incident surface of the light guide member 72 is provided at a position recessed from the bottom surface of the rail member 42 (in other words, a position close to the center of the housing 41). According to this, when inserting the slider 11 of the right controller 4 into the rail member 42, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the light guide member 72 contacts the right controller 4, and the strap attachment 1 with respect to the right controller 4. Can be installed smoothly.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the notification LED 25 of the right controller 4 emits light in the mounted state, the light from the notification LED 25 passes through the entrance 71 facing the emitted notification LED 25, and the light guide member 72. Is incident on the incident surface. The light guide member 72 guides the light incident on the incident surface to the output surface by internal reflection and emits the light from the output surface. Thereby, light is emitted from the emission port 73.

  In other embodiments, the light guide member 72 may be any member that can guide the light incident on the incident port 71 to the exit port 73. For example, in another embodiment, the light guide member may be a mirror provided on a wall of a hole connecting the entrance port 71 and the exit port 73.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the strap attachment 1 transmits light incident on the incident port 71 provided on the bottom surface of the rail member 42 to another surface (here, the button arrangement) different from the bottom surface. A light guide part (here, a light guide member 72) that guides light to an emission port provided on the surface. As a result, even when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4, the light from the notification LED 25 of the right controller 4 can be presented to the user in the same manner as when the strap attachment 1 is not attached. Further, by providing a light guide unit (for example, as compared with an aspect in which the strap attachment 1 receives information on the notification LED 25 from the right controller 4 and controls its own notification LED based on the received information). The information notified by the notification LED 25 of the right controller 4 to which the strap attachment 1 is attached can be presented to the user with a simple configuration.

  In the present embodiment, the emission port 73 is provided on the button arrangement surface of the housing 41 (see FIG. 9). According to this, since the direction of the exit port 73 of the strap attachment 1 attached to the right controller 4 is the same as the direction of the notification LED 25 of the right controller 4, the light from the exit port 73 is presented to the user in an easy-to-see manner. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the emission port 73 is provided between the first button 46 and the second button 47 on the button arrangement surface (see FIG. 9). According to this, the positional relationship between the two buttons 46 and 47 and the exit port 73 in the strap attachment 1 is determined based on the two buttons (that is, the second L button 21 and the second R button 22) and the notification LED 25 in the right controller 4. The positional relationship can be the same. Accordingly, it is possible to give the user a similar operation feeling when the strap attachment 1 is attached to the right controller 4 and when the strap attachment 1 is not attached, and to improve the operability of the controller when the strap attachment 1 is attached. Can do. Further, even when the user operates the buttons 46 and 47, the light from the exit port 73 is easy to see for the user.

  In the present embodiment, light from the plurality of notification LEDs 25 of the right controller 4 is emitted from a plurality of emission ports 73 individually corresponding to the plurality of notification LEDs 25. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can be made aware of the notification LED 25 that is emitting light among the plurality of notification LEDs 25.

  In other embodiments, the strap attachment 1 may be configured to include one incident port and one emission port even when the right controller 4 has a plurality of notification LEDs 25. At this time, when any one of the plurality of notification LEDs 25 of the right controller 4 emits light, light is emitted from the emission port of the strap attachment 1. According to this, although it is impossible to notify which of the plurality of notification LEDs 25 of the right controller 4 emits light, it is possible to notify the user that any of the notification LEDs 25 is emitting light. Depending on the content of the information notified to the user by the notification LED 25, the above configuration may be sufficient.

  In other embodiments, a partition may be provided between a plurality of incident ports (in other words, a plurality of incident surfaces) arranged side by side. According to this, it is possible to reduce the possibility that light from one notification LED is incident on an incident port different from the corresponding incident port, and from an emission surface that does not correspond to the emitting notification LED. The possibility that light is emitted can be reduced.

[4. Effects and modifications of this embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment described above, the strap attachment 1 is an attachment that can be attached to a game controller (for example, the right controller 4). The game controller has a controller-side slide portion (for example, slider 11) provided with a controller-side first operation button (for example, the second L button 21 or the second R button 22).
The strap attachment 1 has the following configuration.
Provided on the first surface (for example, the mounting surface) of the strap attachment, and can be slidably engaged with the controller-side slide portion in a predetermined slide direction (for example, the y-axis direction shown in FIG. 9). An attachment-side slide portion (for example, a rail member) into which the controller-side slide portion can be inserted from one side (for example, the y-axis positive direction side shown in FIG. 9) of one side and the other side in the slide direction. 42)
-A pull-out direction that is provided on the one side from the center of the attachment-side slide part and that is opposite to the insertion direction when the game controller is attached to the attachment by inserting the controller slide part into the attachment-side slide part. Locking part (for example, locking part 43) for locking the slide movement to
An attachment-side first operation button (for example, the first button 46 or the second button 47) that can protrude from the second surface (for example, the button arrangement surface) on the back side of the first surface.
Further, the attachment-side first operation button is movable in a direction protruding from the first surface in response to a pressing operation on the attachment-side first operation button, and a first protruding portion capable of pressing the controller-side first operation button. (For example, it has the 1st protrusion part 46a or the 2nd protrusion part 47a shown in FIG. 9).

  Based on the above, by engaging the slide portion of the attachment and the slide portion of the game controller, the user can easily remove the attachment (including the strap) from the game controller. That is, according to the above, it is possible to easily remove the strap from the game controller.

  Further, the “slide member” may be a rail member in the embodiment or a slider. In the above embodiment, the former is referred to as a “rail member” and the latter is referred to as a “slider” in order to distinguish the slide member provided in the strap attachment 1 from the slide member provided in the controller in an easily understandable manner. did. Here, the shape of the rail member and the slider is not limited to the shape of the above embodiment. For example, a slide member having a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 12 can be referred to as a “slider”, and a slide member having a T-shaped cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 9 is referred to as a “rail member”. You can also.

  In the above embodiment, the rail member, which is an example of the slide member, is provided on the mounting surface of the housing 41 and has a bottom surface portion, a side surface portion, and a facing portion. Here, in other embodiments, the housing and the rail member (in other words, the slide member) may be configured as follows. That is, the strap attachment 1 constitutes a part of the housing, and has a member A (for example, a housing that does not have the mounting surface), and a member B (having a bottom surface portion, a side surface portion, and a facing portion). For example, the rail member 42) may be provided. At this time, the bottom surface of the member B is connected to the member A so as to cover at least a part of the opening of the member A. In the above configuration, the surface of the bottom surface portion of the member B corresponds to the “first surface”, and the side surface portion and the facing portion of the member B correspond to the “rail member”. Thus, the structure which does not have a bottom face part may be sufficient as a rail member. Further, for example, the strap attachment 1 may have a configuration in which the rail member has a side surface portion (not having a bottom surface portion) and a facing portion, and the side surface portion is connected to the mounting surface of the housing. .

  Further, according to the above, since the attachment includes the protruding portion, even when the attachment is attached to the game controller, the user operates the operation button of the game controller by pressing the operation button provided on the attachment. be able to.

  Further, according to the above, since the attachment includes the locking portion, the possibility that the attachment is detached from the game controller as a result of the controller-side slide portion inserted into the attachment-side slide portion moving in the removal direction is reduced. Can do.

  The “locking (sliding movement)” means that the sliding movement is limited by engaging a certain member with another member. However, the above “locking (sliding movement)” is only required to prevent sliding movement by a force smaller than a certain value, and when a certain level of force is applied (result of releasing the locking). )) Meaning that slide movement may be performed.

Moreover, it can be said that the strap attachment 1 in the said embodiment is an attachment which can be attached to the game controller (for example, right controller 4) which has a controller side slide part (for example, slider 11). The strap attachment 1 has the following configuration.
-It is provided on the first surface (for example, the mounting surface) of the attachment, and can be slidably engaged with the controller-side slide portion in a predetermined slide direction (for example, the y-axis direction shown in FIG. 9). Thus, an attachment-side slide portion (for example, a rail member 42) into which the controller-side slide portion can be inserted from one side (for example, the y-axis positive direction side shown in FIG. 9) of one side and the other side of the slide direction.
-A pull-out direction that is provided on the one side from the center of the attachment-side slide part and that is opposite to the insertion direction when the game controller is attached to the attachment by inserting the controller slide part into the attachment-side slide part. Locking part (for example, locking part 43) for locking the slide movement to
-Among attachments, a strap attachment portion (for example, a shaft portion provided inside the housing 41) capable of attaching a strap to a portion on the same side as the other side in the sliding direction from the center of the attachment.

  Based on the above, by engaging the slide portion of the attachment and the slide portion of the game controller, the user can easily remove the attachment (including the strap) from the game controller. Here, if the strap is attached to the strap attachment portion of the attachment, the user can remove the strap from the controller by removing the attachment from the controller without removing the strap from the attachment. That is, according to the above, it is possible to easily remove the strap from the game controller.

(Modification regarding housing)
In the above embodiment, the housing 41 of the strap attachment 1 is opposed to the side surface and the back surface of the right controller 4 in the mounted state (in other words, covers the side surface and the back surface). Here, in other embodiments, the shape of the housing of the strap attachment is arbitrary. For example, as in the modification described below, the strap attachment housing may be attached to the controller so as to face a predetermined surface of the controller.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of a strap attachment according to a modification of the embodiment. In FIG. 22, a strap attachment 80 according to this modification includes a housing 81. The housing 81 has the same shape as the mounting portion 41a of the housing 41 in the embodiment. The housing 81 has a rear surface (that is, a surface on the z-axis positive direction side). Moreover, the housing 81 has a mounting surface and a button arrangement surface, like the mounting portion 41a of the housing 41 in the above embodiment.

  The strap attachment 80 in the present modification is different from the strap attachment 1 in the above-described embodiment in that the strap attachment 80 does not include the grip portion 41b (including the configuration provided in the grip portion 41b). Except for the above points, the strap attachment 80 is the same as the strap attachment 1. That is, the strap attachment 80 includes the rail member 42, the locking portion 43, the buttons 46 and 47, the strap 65, and the light guide member 72. Note that the strap attachment 80 may not have the terminal 55.

  With the above configuration, the strap attachment 80 can be attached to the right controller 4 in the same manner as the strap attachment 1 in the above embodiment. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which the strap attachment according to the modification is attached to the right controller.

  Here, as described above, the slider 11 of the right controller 4 and the slider of the left controller 3 in the above embodiment have the same configuration. Therefore, in the above embodiment, the rail member 42 of the strap attachment 1 is slidably engaged not only with the slider 11 of the right controller 4 but also with the slider of the left controller 3. However, since the strap attachment 1 has the grip portion 41b, if the strap attachment 1 is to be attached to the left controller 3, for example, the analog stick of the left controller 3 comes into contact with the grip portion 41b. It was impossible to put on.

  On the other hand, since the strap attachment 80 in this modification does not have a configuration corresponding to the grip portion 41b, it can be attached not only to the right controller 4 but also to the left controller 3. It is. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which the strap attachment according to the modification is attached to the left controller. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, when the strap attachment 80 is attached to the left controller 3 and when it is attached to the right controller 4, the direction of the strap attachment 80 is opposite.

  Note that, when the strap attachment 80 is attached to either the left controller 3 or the right controller 4, the strap attachment 80 can lock the controller by the locking portion 43.

  Further, in the present modification, the rail member 42 may have a configuration in which the notch C1 is not formed (or hardly formed) in the facing portion 53. In this modification, the strap attachment 80 does not have the grip portion 41b and does not have the release button contact surface 41e, so that the release button 28 of the right controller 4 is not pressed in the mounted state. Therefore, when the notch C1 is formed in the rail member 42, the protrusion 27 of the right controller 4 is locked to the notch C1. Therefore, when removing the strap attachment 80 from the right controller 4, the user presses the release button 28.

  On the other hand, when the notch C1 is not formed (or hardly formed) in the rail member 42, the projection 27 is not locked to the rail member 42 (or hardly locked) in the mounted state. When removing the strap attachment 80 from the right controller 4, the user may not press the release button 28. Thus, the user can perform removal more easily by using the rail member 42 in which the notch C1 is not formed.

  Further, in this modification, two surfaces (that is, a front surface and a rear surface provided between the mounting surface and the button arrangement surface. In other words, a surface on the z-axis negative direction side and a surface on the z-axis positive direction side) ) Are marked with different marks. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, a plus mark 82 representing “+” is attached to the front surface of the housing 81, and a minus mark 83 representing “−” is attached to the rear surface of the housing 81. .

  These marks 82 and 83 are attached for the purpose of allowing the user to recognize the orientation of the strap attachment 80 when it is attached to the two types of controllers 3 and 4. That is, when the strap attachment 80 is attached to the right controller 4 having the button 17 having the shape of “+” on the main surface, the front surface of the housing 81 to which the plus mark 82 is attached is the main surface of the right controller 4. The user is recognized by the plus mark 82 (see FIG. 23). In addition, when the strap attachment 80 is attached to the left controller 3 having the button having the shape of “−” on the main surface, the rear surface of the housing 81 to which the minus mark 83 is attached is the main surface of the left controller 3. The user is recognized by the minus mark 83 (see FIG. 24) that they are in the same direction. Thus, the orientation of the strap attachment 80 when the strap attachment 80 is attached to the controller 3 or 4 can be presented to the user in an easy-to-understand manner.

  In other embodiments, other presentation methods may be used together with (or instead of) the marks 82 and 83. For example, in other embodiments, the appearance (for example, color, pattern, or texture (specifically, the presence or absence of gloss)) may be different between the front side and the rear side of the housing 81. At this time, the appearance of the main surface of the left controller 3 and the appearance of the front surface of the housing 81 are made the same (or similar), or the appearance of the main surface of the right controller 4 and the appearance of the rear surface of the housing 81 are made the same ( Or similar).

(Modified example of locking part)
FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of a locking portion according to a modification of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 25, in other embodiments, the locking portion 43 may have a protrusion 43a at its upper end portion (that is, the end portion on the y-axis positive direction side). According to this, since the user can hook a finger or a nail on the protrusion 43a when operating the locking portion 43, the locking portion 43 becomes easier to operate. The protrusion 43a is provided so as to extend in the front-rear direction (ie, the z-axis direction), for example. This makes it easier for the user to hook a finger or nail on the protrusion 43a.

In the embodiment described above, the strap attachment 1 is an attachment that can be attached to a game controller having a controller-side slide portion. The strap attachment 1 has the following configuration.
-It is provided on the first surface of the attachment and can be slidably engaged with the controller-side slide portion in a predetermined slide direction, and one of the slide direction and the other side An attachment side slide part that can insert the controller side slide part from one side is provided on the one side from the center of the attachment side slide part, and the controller side slide part is inserted into the attachment side slide part, thereby In a state where the game controller is mounted on the attachment, the locking portion that locks the sliding movement in the removal direction opposite to the insertion direction.
