Description

  The present invention realizes the purpose of moving a whole body by controlling a game machine by a kind of game machine control device, particularly a kind of user.

  As game devices continue to advance, game devices having athletic functions are being appreciated by consumers. This type of game device is mainly composed of two parts, a pedal and a game control device, and is connected to a display device to realize interaction with the user. Normally, during game play, the user steers the pedal in the direction that matches the display device and accumulates points, and the score increases as the stepping direction matches. This type of game device has a sport practice effect in an area where the user is small. However, the monotonous stepping action is not a hobby for game play. Users get tired easily and do not have an exercise pattern to train their whole body. On the other hand, when moving the pedal, the user may step into the surrounding area too much beyond the boundary of the pedal. At this time, if the power cord, slipping water marks, etc., are entered into the boundary area of the pedal, a hidden danger is given to the user.

  FIG. 1 shows a control device A of a game machine PS3 (registered trademark) which is often seen. The control device A has a control button A1, a horizontal control key A2, and a vertical control stick A3. The game operation of this type of control device A uses both hands. Therefore, there are difficulties in maneuvering sports-type games, and the amount of exercise of the lower body and legs is limited.

  FIG. 2 is a control device B of a game machine Wii (registered trademark) that is often seen. The control device B has a control button B1 and a horizontal direction control key B2. For a game that needs to be steered vertically, an auxiliary control device C is added to control the game steer direction. This type of control device B needs to control both hands with one control device, which makes it difficult to control a sport-type game, and has a limited amount of exercise in the lower body and legs.
