Description

  The present invention relates to a game apparatus operated using a controller.

  One of the game devices described above is a game device installed in a game center where an unspecified number of players visit. In this type of game device, the main body of the game device and the controller are usually connected by a harness. The reason is that one controller can be used by a plurality of people, and a plurality of controllers of the same type can exist in one game center.

  For example, if the main body and the controller are connected by a harness, the controller is difficult to be stolen, and even if one controller is used by a plurality of people, the player follows the harness and returns to a predetermined position. Not find a controller. In addition, for example, when communicating with each other between the main body and the controller, it is necessary to identify the controller in communication in an environment where a plurality of game devices of the same type may exist in one game center. If they are connected with each other, this identification mechanism can be simplified.

  On the other hand, in Japanese Patent No. 3476068, a cable is pulled by providing a terminal to which a cable for connecting a controller and an external input / output cable such as a power cable are connected at a specific position in the main body of the game apparatus. However, it describes a technique that makes it difficult for the body to fall.

  In a game device in which the main body and the controller are connected by a harness (hereinafter referred to as a “harness connection-type game device”), the player is operated to move the controller. Therefore, as a harness connecting the main body and the controller, the player It should be sufficiently long, light and easy to bend so as not to hinder the operation. For example, a harness for communication between the main unit and the controller has a structure in which conductive cables that transmit signals are bundled and covered with a tube, but the cables and tubes are sufficiently light and easy to bend Should be selected. In addition, for example, a harness for preventing theft of the controller has a structure in which a conductor such as a string or a wire or a non-conductive cable is bundled and covered with a tube, but the material is sufficiently light and bent. The easy one should be selected.

  However, the harness-connected game device has a problem that the harness flutters (a phenomenon in which the harness hits the main body) according to the movement of the controller, and sometimes the harness hits the player, and further, the wire breaks due to the flutter. This problem is a new problem not known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, in particular, when a harness-connected game device includes a plurality of controllers, in addition to the above problems, a plurality of harnesses may be wound around each other, or a harness connected to a player's controller may hit another player. Problems can arise. Further, when one player uses two controllers with both hands, the distance between the harnesses is short, and thus the above problem is likely to occur.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the problem of suppressing fluttering of a harness connecting the main body and the controller in a game device in which the controller can move relative to the main body.

First, terms will be explained.
A “game” is an act having a rule that determines the result of the play (game play). “Play” for a game is an act of proceeding with the game as an object in the game period from the start to the end of the game, the content of which is determined according to the game and the behavior of the subject during the game period It is. One game is a single or multiple play object. The individual that is the subject of play is called the “player” of the game that is the object of the play. Regarding play, the player who is the subject is called the “participating player”. Regarding the play, the “result” is an evaluation intended by the participating player. As a result of play, winning / losing, ranking, and score can be exemplified.

  Any game can be realized as a computer game. A “computer game” is a game whose play is realized using a computer. In a computer game, the behavior that affects the content of the play is limited to the operation of the computer used to realize the play. A computer used to realize play of a computer game is called a “game device”.

  A “computer” is a device that processes data and has a memory that holds data and a processor that executes a program held in the memory. “Data” represents information in a format recognizable by a machine such as a computer. Examples of data include data that electrically represents information, data that magnetically represents information, and data that optically represents information. “Information” is a processing target that can be expressed by data. A “memory” is a device that holds written data in a readable manner. Examples of the memory include a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, and an optical memory. A “program” indicates a processing procedure in a collection of data representing instructions. Examples of the program include a program for causing a computer to play a computer game. A "processor" is a procedure that implements an instruction set and executes the instructions represented by the data in the program according to the procedure shown in the program that is a collection of data representing the instructions included in the instruction set. It is an apparatus that executes the program by performing the process. Examples of the processor include a single CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a collection of a plurality of CPUs.

  Examples of the computer include a computer having an interface with the outside. Examples of the interface with the outside include an input unit that inputs information or data from the outside and an output unit that outputs information or data to the outside. “Input” for information refers to an act of generating data representing external information by detection or measurement. Examples of the input unit include sensors, buttons, and a keyboard. Regarding information, “output” refers to an act of representing information represented by data in a form that can be perceived by humans. Examples of forms that can be perceived by humans include light, sound, and vibration. Examples of the output of information in the form of light include image display and light source blinking. Examples of outputting information in the form of sound include sound emission by a speaker and driving of a sound generation mechanism by a solenoid (for example, ringing of a bell). As the output of information in the form of vibration, oscillation of the vibrator can be exemplified.

Next, the present invention will be described.
The present invention includes a main body having a computer, a controller for operating the computer, a harness that at least mechanically connects the main body and the controller, and first and second protective tubes that protect the harness. The controller is movable relative to the main body while being connected by the harness, and the second protective tube is inserted into the first protective tube, and the second The harness is inserted into the protective tube, the first protective tube is fixed to the main body, has a higher elastic modulus or flexibility than the second protective tube, and the second protective tube When the first protective tube is bent, the tube is in contact with the first protective tube and the harness, and the tube has one elastic force of the first protective tube. The transmitted to the harness, to provide a game apparatus characterized by.

  In this game device, when the first protective tube having a high elastic modulus or high flexibility is bent by applying an external force, the second protective tube having a low elastic modulus or low flexibility is the first protective tube. Even in contact with the protective tube and the harness, only a part of the elastic force of the first protective tube is transmitted to the harness by the second protective tube. Therefore, in this game device, the bending range of the harness is limited by the protective tube, and the flutter of the harness is suppressed, and the transmission of stress to the harness when an external force is applied is suppressed. That is, according to the present invention, in a game device in which the controller can move relative to the main body, it is possible to suppress the fluttering of the harness connecting the main body and the controller, and to reduce the possibility of the harness being damaged. Can do.

  Further, in this game device, the distribution of flexibility in the length direction in the harness assembly (having the first and second protection tubes and the harness) is appropriately changed by the combination of the first and second protection tubes. There is also an advantage that can be done. If a harness having different flexibility on the main body side and the controller side in the length direction, for example, a harness whose flexibility on the main body side is higher than the flexibility on the controller side, the same effect as the above effect is obtained. Obtainable. However, it is difficult to prepare such a harness. Even if it can be prepared, it is necessary to change the harness in order to change the distribution of the flexibility (bending elasticity) or the difficulty of bending (bending rigidity) of the harness in the length direction of the harness. is there. On the other hand, in the above game device, the distribution of the difficulty of bending in the length direction of the harness assembly can be changed without exchanging the harness by exchanging the first and second protective tubes. . This is an advantageous feature particularly when a harness including a cable for transmitting a signal is used. In addition, as a case where said change is needed, the case where the distribution of the optimal bending difficulty is calculated | required by trial and error can be illustrated.

  In the above game device, the first protective tube may be a spiral tube having a structure in which a rod-shaped member is spirally wound. By using a spiral tube, it is possible to easily increase the flexibility of the first protective tube.

  The portion of the harness that is inserted into the first protective tube may be a part of the portion that is inserted into the second protective tube. In this aspect, a second protection tube having a lower flexibility than the first protection tube is always between the portion of the harness inserted into the first protection tube and the inner surface of the first protection tube. Since it exists, the 1st protection tube does not touch a harness. Therefore, the possibility that the harness is damaged can be further reduced. This effect makes it possible to employ, as the first protective tube, a tube (for example, a spiral tube) having a shape that easily breaks the harness if the harness is in contact with the harness. That is, according to this aspect, the degree of freedom in design can be increased.

  In the above game device, a plurality of sets each including a controller, a harness, a first protection tube, and a second protection tube may be provided. In a game device including a plurality of controllers and harnesses, there may be a problem that a plurality of harnesses are wound around each other, or a harness connected to a controller used by a certain person may hit another person. Since fluttering is suppressed, the possibility of these problems occurring can be reduced. This is an advantageous effect especially when the distance between the harnesses is short. In addition, as a case where the distance between harnesses is short, the case where one person uses two controllers with both hands is mentioned.

  In the above game device, the game device may be used for realizing a computer game in which a play result is determined according to a relative movement between the main body and the controller. In this aspect, there may be software changes such as program updates. This change may include a change in how the controller is moved in the realized game. When the manner in which the controller is moved is changed, it may be better to change the distribution of the difficulty of bending the harness assembly in the length direction. Therefore, this aspect is convenient because the distribution of flexibility in the length direction of the harness assembly can be appropriately changed.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the flutter of the harness which connects a main body and a controller can be suppressed in the game device which a controller can move relatively with respect to a main body.

A part of the controller 8 is a grip part 81 that is easy to grip, and the player holds the grip part 81 with one hand by inserting the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger into the center hole of the controller 8 and gripping the grip part 81. Can have. The controller 8 includes an operation button 82 that is assumed to be operated with a thumb, an operation button 83 that is assumed to be operated with an index finger, a light emitting unit 84 that emits infrared light, and acceleration. An acceleration sensor (specifically, a so-called three-axis acceleration sensor) 86 that measures and outputs a signal indicating the measured acceleration is provided. Each of the operation buttons 82 and 83 outputs a unique signal when pressed. Output signals from the operation buttons 82 and 83 and the acceleration sensor 86 are all transmitted to the main body 2 via the harness 10.

  The light emitting unit 84 is provided outside the portion facing the grip portion 81 across the center hole, and includes a plurality of light sources 85 that emit infrared light and a light emission control unit (not shown). Controls the light emission of the plurality of light sources 85 simultaneously according to the control signal transmitted through the harness 10.

This is displayed on the unit 12.

Harness and Tubular Body FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the structure of the harness 10 and the tubular body 30. In this figure, the harness 10 and the cylindrical body 30 are shown when fully stretched, and the cross section of the flat plate 22 exposed on the surface of the main body 2 and the flat plate 87 exposed on the surface of the controller 8 are shown. A cross section is also shown. The flat plate 22 is screwed to the main body 2.

  As shown in this figure, the total length of the harness 10 is about 1590 mm, the right end in FIG. 3 is fixed to the main body 2 in the main body 2, and the left end in FIG. 3 is fixed to the controller 8 in the controller 8. The harness 10 includes a plurality of bundled cables (not shown) and a tube (not shown) that covers these cables, and the main body 2 and the controller 8 are connected by the flexibility (bending elasticity). Can move relatively. Each cable is a cable (signal line) for transmitting a signal. In the following description, a portion of the harness 10 between the flat plates 22 and 87 is referred to as an exposed portion 10a, and one end of the exposed portion 10a on the flat plate 22 side is referred to as a “proximal part”.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the cylindrical body 30. The cylindrical body 30 is fixed to a flat plate 22 screwed to the main body 2 and has an overall length of about 310 mm. As shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical body 30 includes an outer tube (first protective tube) 31 with a uniform inner diameter that protects the harness 10 and a uniform inner diameter and outer diameter that protects the harness 10. An inner tube (second protective tube) 32. An inner tube 32 is inserted into the outer tube 31.

  The inner tube 32 passes through the outer tube 31 and is fixed to the main body 2. In the inner tube 32, the length of the end portion on the main body 2 side (the right end portion in FIG. 4) of both ends not inserted into the outer tube 31 is about 75 mm. The harness 10 is inserted into the inner tube 32. The harness 10 passes through the inner tube 32 and is fixed to the main body 2. A portion of the harness 10 inserted into the inner tube 32 is referred to as a covering portion 10b (FIGS. 3 and 6).

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the inner diameter of the inner tube 32 is larger than the outer diameter of the harness 10. The inner diameter of the inner tube 32 is determined so that the outer peripheral surface of the covering portion 10b contacts the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube 32 when the covering portion 10b of the harness 10 is bent beyond a predetermined range. The inner tube 32 is made of polyvinyl chloride having a higher elastic modulus than the cable material of the harness 10 and has higher flexibility than the harness 10.

  The outer tube 31 is a spiral tube formed of natural rubber having a higher elastic modulus than polyvinyl chloride. The outer tube 31 has a structure in which a rod-shaped member is spirally wound at a predetermined pitch, and has higher flexibility than the inner tube 32.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the inner diameter of the outer tube 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube 32. The inner diameter of the outer tube 31 is determined such that the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 32 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 31 when the covering portion 10b of the harness 10 is bent beyond a predetermined range.

  The outer tube 31 has a male screw portion 311 and a female screw portion 312 that are separable from each other. As shown in FIG. 6, the male screw portion 311 and the female screw portion 312 are fixed to each other by screwing. The spiral structure is formed in the female screw portion 312. As shown in FIG. 5, the female thread portion 312 of the outer tube 31 is formed so that the outer diameter decreases as the distance from the flat plate 22, that is, the main body 2 increases. Thus, the outer tube 31 is formed so that the flexibility decreases as the distance from the main body 2 increases.

  When the male screw portion 311 and the female screw portion 312 are screwed together, a gap 313 is left between the flange of the male screw portion 311 and the flange of the female screw portion 312. A flat plate 22 screwed to the main body 2 is sandwiched between the gaps 313. That is, the outer tube 31 is fixed to the main body 2 around the root of the harness 10 by sandwiching the flat plate 22 of the main body 2 between the flange of the male screw portion 311 and the flange of the female screw portion 312.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the covering portion 10 b of the harness 10 includes a portion inserted into the outer tube 31 (double covering portion 10 bd) and a portion not inserted into the outer tube 31 (single covering portion 10 bs). Have. In the present embodiment, when the controller 8 moves, that is, when the main body 2 and the controller 8 move relatively, the harness 10 is bent, and the outer peripheral surface of the non-abdominal part 10b of the harness 10 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube 32. The inner tube 32 is bent. When the outer tube 31 bends because the inner tube 32 is bent so that the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 32 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 31, a part of the elastic force of the outer tube 31 is It is transmitted to the covering portion (in particular, the double covering portion 10bd) of the harness 10 via 32.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when the outer tube 31 having a high elastic modulus or high flexibility is bent, only a part of the elastic force of the outer tube 31 is applied to the harness 10 by the inner tube 32. Reportedly. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the bending range of the harness 10 is limited to suppress the fluttering of the harness 10, and the transmission of stress to the harness 10 when an external force is applied is suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the wall of the inner tube 32 having a lower elastic modulus or flexibility than the outer tube 31 between the double covering portion 10bd of the covering portion 10b of the harness 10 and the wall of the outer tube 31. There must be. Therefore, according to this Embodiment, since the outer tube 31 does not contact the harness 10, possibility that the harness 10 will be damaged is further reduced. For this reason, if it is set as the structure which touches the harness 10, the employ | adopting of the outer tube 31 of the shape where the harness 10 becomes easy to be damaged is possible.

  By the way, when the contents of the game to be realized, specifically, how the controller 8 determined by the program is changed by changing the software such as program update, it is difficult to bend the harness 10 in the length direction. There are cases where the distribution of the length should be changed. Further, at the design stage of the game apparatus, there is a case where an optimal distribution of difficulty in bending in the length direction of the harness 10 is obtained by trial and error. Since the harness 10 includes a cable for transmitting a signal, if it is attempted to change the distribution of the difficulty of bending of the harness 10 by replacing the harness 10, a considerable amount of work is required. However, according to the present embodiment, the flexibility distribution is determined by the combination of the outer tube 31 and the inner tube 32. Therefore, the harness 10 can be changed by replacing or processing at least one of the outer tube 31 and the inner tube 32. The distribution of the difficulty of bending of the harness assembly (having the harness 10 and the cylindrical body 30) in the length direction of the harness 10 can be changed without replacement. In particular, the inner tube 32 can be easily cut.

  In the present embodiment, the game apparatus 1 includes a plurality of sets of the controller 8, the harness 10 and the cylindrical body 30, and one player uses the two controllers 8 with both hands. Get closer. Accordingly, if no measures are taken, there may arise a problem that the plurality of harnesses 10 are wound around each other or the harness 10 connected to the controller 8 of a certain player hits another player. However, according to the present embodiment, the possibility of these problems occurring can be reduced by taking the measures described above.

Modification Examples Hereinafter, various forms obtained by modifying the present embodiment will be exemplified.
For example, an adhesive may be applied to the gap 313 to strengthen the mutual fixation of the male screw portion 311, the female screw portion 312 and the flat plate 22. Further, for example, as a material for forming the outer tube 31, a natural resin other than natural rubber, a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride or synthetic rubber, or other materials may be employed. For example, as a material for forming the inner tube 32, a natural resin such as natural rubber, a synthetic resin such as synthetic rubber, or other materials may be employed.

  For example, a spiral tube having a non-uniform inner diameter may be employed as the outer tube. Examples of such a spiral tube include a tube having a larger inner diameter as the distance from the flat plate 22, that is, the main body 2 increases. For example, as the outer tube, a tube other than a spiral tube whose flexibility monotonically, that is, progressively decreases from the main body side to the controller side may be employed. Examples of such a tube include a tube having no spiral structure and a spiral tube whose flexibility does not monotonously decrease from the main body side to the controller side.

  In the above-described embodiment, the inner tube 32 has a higher elastic modulus or flexibility than the harness 10, but the elastic modulus or flexibility of the inner tube may be equal to or lower than the elastic modulus or flexibility of the harness.

  Further, for example, the number of sets including the controller, the harness, and the cylindrical body included in the game device may be 1, 2, 3, or 5 or more. Further, for example, as a harness covered with a cylindrical body, a structure in which a cable that does not transmit a signal such as a string or a wire is bundled and covered with a tube may be adopted, or a signal transmitting cable and a signal are not transmitted. A structure in which cables are bundled and covered with a tube may be adopted. Further, for example, the inner tube may be fixed to the outer tube or the harness instead of the main body. Further, for example, the present invention may be applied to a game device (household game machine) that does not have a function for collecting a usage fee. Further, the present invention may be applied to a computer device that is not used for realizing a game.
