Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a video game machine, and more particularly to a controller for the video game machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 This type of video game console has been developed in recent years because the controller can be operated from a position away from the TV to enjoy the game. Recently, especially the wireless remote controller is used. It is supposed to be done. Then, in order to make the game more interesting, such a remote controller is provided with a plurality of turbo keys such as a continuous fire button provided to continuously perform a continuous operation such as firing of a gun. It was

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this type of turbo key uses a slide switch so that it can operate in conjunction with each button, so when all the rapid fire buttons are instantly released when rapid fire is not necessary, the operation is cumbersome It was poor.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is further provided with a continuous fire release button for canceling the continuous fire operation of the plurality of continuous fire buttons separately from the plurality of continuous fire buttons when the continuous fire is unnecessary.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to this structure, it is possible to cancel or activate the continuous fire operation without operating a plurality of continuous fire buttons, which is faster than the conventional one and is easy to operate.

[0006]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows a typical system configuration using a remote controller for a video game machine according to the present invention. The video game machine body 10 has an antenna for transmitting control signals from a monitor television 12 and a remote controller 20. It is connected to the receiver 11 which receives via 13) of 3). The remote controller 20 has various operation keys for controlling the video game device body 10 via the receiver 11, as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. For example, in addition to the function key 23 such as the direction instruction button 21 for moving the controlled object left and right, the command signal button 23a for designating the control operation, the start button 23b, the selection button 23c, the slow button 23d for adjusting the game speed, and the like. It has a continuous fire button 24 and the like. The remote controller 20 characterized by the present invention further has a continuous fire button and a continuous fire release button 29 as a special key for releasing the operating state of 24.

The basic circuit configuration of each part is shown in FIG. The remote controller 20 has a built-in battery, and when a key is operated, a control signal is sent to the RF transmitter 26 via the CPU 25, and is further sent from the antenna 27 to the antenna 13 on the main body side. The continuous fire release button 29 described above controls the switch 28 arranged between the continuous fire button 24 and the CPU 25 to release the operating state of the continuous fire button 24. The control signal received by the main body side antenna 13 is sent to the game device 16 which is a family computer via the RF receiver 11, the CPU 14 of the main body of the video game device and the interface (I / F) circuit 15, and the game device 16 An image is projected on the monitor television 12 based on the game software housed in the computer to play the game.

In such a configuration, when some of the continuous fire buttons, which are turbo keys, are in the operating state, when the continuous fire release button 29 for releasing the operation of the continuous fire buttons is operated, the switch 28 operates and the continuous fire button 24 Release the operating state of with one key operation.

The switch 28 operated by operating the continuous fire release button 29 is shown as a circuit in the present embodiment, but the mechanical release for releasing the operation state of the conventional slide switch by the continuous fire release button 29. It can be replaced with a mechanism.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, by using the controller of the video game machine according to the present invention, when it is desired to cancel continuous shooting during a game, it is possible to operate only one continuous shooting activation / release button without operating multiple continuous shooting buttons. , It is possible to easily cancel the continuous shooting operation and restart the same continuous shooting operation.
