Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute so that a remarkable and steep movement of a display point and a fine and slow movement of the display point are compatible, by only operating one lever and a changeover switch, without requiring any complicated mechanism and operation, in a joy stick device which is used for an input, etc. of a computer. CONSTITUTION:A push switch is incorporated to a lever 1, and when it is depressed, outputs of a variable resistor 4 and 5 are connected to an amplifier 8 and 13 side, respectively, and when it is released, they are connected to an integrator 9 and 14 side. Thereafter, outputs of each adder 10, 15 are made outputs of X and Y, respectively, and are provided as X and Y position signals of a CRT. When the lever 1 is not depressed but inclined, the output corresponding to the inclination is integrated by a short time constant as the inclination is steep, and the point on the CRT moves quickly as the inclination is larger. When the CRT is observed and the point approaches the object position, the lever 1 is returned quickly to its original position, and thereafter, when the switch is depressed and moved, the display point moves within a very small range around a position where it stops once.

In the case of a switch type, the switch corresponding to the direction in which the lever is pushed is turned on, and the structure is such that only the direction in which the lever is pushed is detected. Therefore, when trying to move a point on a CRT using this type of joystick, the OR
A C integrator is connected after the switch which is linked to two levers so that the point on T moves, and the position of the point on the CRT is determined by the integrator output. In a joystick with this structure, the moving speed of the point on the CRT is uniquely determined, so if the speed is set to be suitable for minute movements, it will take too much time for large movements; It has the disadvantage that if it moves quickly, it becomes difficult to make minute movements.

On the other hand, in the variable resistance gain type Joyce disk 62, which uses a variable resistor linked to the inclination of the lever and whose output corresponds to the position of a point on the CRT, the movement range of the lever is displayed on the CRT. To accommodate the range, the lever tilt (
On the other hand, it becomes necessary to increase the variable range of the variable resistor. This has the disadvantage that it is difficult to adjust the electric lever and the lever for minute movements.

Next, the main points of an example of the operation of the joystick device having this configuration will be explained. In Fig. 1, the integrator 9
and 14 are linear integrators with relatively small time constants (
For example, for 1 second or less), when the switch 6.7 is turned to the side and the lever is tilted, the output voltage 12.17 changes with time according to the direction of the slope. This situation is shown by the OA line illustrated in FIG. When the display point comes close to the desired point, the lever is returned to the origin and the integrator maintains the conventional voltage. Now switch 6.
When 7 is switched to all and the lever is moved, the display point moves around the point where it had been until then. At this time,
If the amplification factor of the amplifier 8.13 is made small, the movement of the display point with respect to the movement C2 of the lever becomes small, and the adjustment becomes possible. In Figure C2, a bidirectional arrow BC indicates a minute movement of the display point.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. Lever 11
A nipple switch is incorporated so that when pressed, the outputs of variable resistors 4 and 5 are connected to the amplifiers 8 and 13, respectively, and when released, they are connected to the integrators 9 and 14. After connecting two Cs in this way, for each adder, 15
The output of
Give it as a position signal. Here, if the lever is tilted without being pressed, the output corresponding to the slope will be integrated with a shorter time constant as the slope becomes more severe, and the point on the SCRT will move more rapidly as the slope becomes larger. While watching the CRT, when the point comes close to the desired position, quickly return the lever to the fillet position and move within a small range around the position where it stopped. In this way, coarse and fine movement of the display point is possible (
Two. This device is ideal as an input device for personal computers and video games, for example.

Further, contrary to the above embodiment, the amplification factors of the amplifiers 8 and 13 are set to be large so that the range of the lever 10 is set to cover the entire display range on the CRT, and the integrators 9 and 14 are
It is also possible to make the time constant of C relatively large, for example, 2 seconds or more. In this case, when you tilt the lever, the display point will immediately change to C according to the direction of tilting the lever.
