First, the brief description is as follows. As shown in FIG. 8, the game operation setting apparatus 10 includes the operation setting and installation program of the game operation apparatus 20 in the firmware and transmits it to the game operation apparatus 20 (ST100 to ST400), and the game operation. The device 20 receives and stores firmware from the game operation setting device 10 (ST500). After the firmware is stored in the game operation apparatus 20, the game operation apparatus 20 is connected to the game execution apparatus 30 (ST600), and the game operation apparatus 20 uses the firmware to execute the game execution apparatus 30. Received an operation signal from the game execution device 30 and is operated in accordance with the operation setting of the firmware stored in the IC storage means 21 (ST700). This is a part set to a value set as a default value by executing the firmware input to the IC storage means 21 while the game control device 20 is connected to the game execution device 30, the power of the game control device 20 is also turned on Are applied to operate in the game execution device (30). For example, after converting the profile of the game called 'Cartrider' and setting it in the firmware, and entering the firmware, the firmware is executed every time the game control device 20 is turned on and the source of the basic key setting is applied. Wherever, anywhere in the computer is to use the game operation device 20 with a key value set only by connecting to the game execution device 30 without any other setting.

After the game operation device 20 is connected, the game execution device 30 receives the second operation setting or the path information of the game to be executed from the user through the second key setting means 31 according to the user's request. Create in the form (ST800). When the profile is generated, the game execution device 30 provides a user with a shortcut button for operating the profile generated by the second key setting means 31 to the game operation device 20 (ST810). If the user selects a desired one of the shortcut buttons provided in step ST900, the game operation device 20 receives the profile selected by the user from the game execution device 30 and operates according to the operation setting of the received profile (ST820 to ST830). ). The game operation device 20 which has changed the operation setting to the received profile determines whether the power is cut off (ST900), and if it is determined that the power is cut off, deletes the operation setting of the profile received from the game execution device 30. Switch to the operation setting of the firmware stored in the stored IC storage means 21 (ST910).

Details of the steps ST100 to ST400 are as follows. As shown in Fig. 8, the first key setting means 11 of the game operation setting apparatus 10 generates the first operation setting for the game operation apparatus 20 in the form of a profile (ST100). The profile may be generated by setting a key value in advance according to a game, or may be directly set by a user. An example of the profile is as shown in FIG. 9A. The operation setting includes the operation key setting values for the game input device (eg, keyboard, mouse) and the game control device 20 of the game execution device 30, thereby allowing the game execution device 30 to display a 'game operation device + keyboard'. + Mouse '.

After the profile is generated, the converting means 12 of the game operation setting apparatus 10 converts the profile generated in step ST100 into a data format to be included in the firmware (ST200). In step ST200, the profile is loaded by the converting means 12 as shown in FIG. 9B, and then the hexadecimal array data to be inserted into the firmware through the process of converting the data consisting of the hexadecimal numbers stored as the profile as shown in FIG. 9C. Convert to The six variable parts shown in FIG. 9C indicate that the three parts on the left are converted to the three parts on the right, respectively. Each of these three variables consists of the game control device 20 key value and the location information variable to store the keyboard / mouse key value, the variable to store the keyboard / mouse key value, and the key value information of the constituent keys constituting the composite key. Represents a variable.

Here is a brief description of the firmware process flow.

After setting the key in the second key setting means 31 and pressing the 'apply' button in the second key setting means 31 in the generated profile or setting state, the B of the firmware stored in the IC storage means 21 Data is passed to the function, which has the same key value as the temporary key value in function A. The game control device 20 is connected to the game operating device 30 by pressing the 'apply' button for key setting made by the second key setting means 31 or loading the profile without modifying the firmware. Until it is unplugged from the computer or the power of the computer 30 is completely turned off can be used with the default key value set in the 'A function'.

The game operation setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described again.

When the data conversion is completed, the firmware generation means 13 of the game operation setting device 10 adds the profile converted in step ST200 to the firmware including the installation program of the game operation device 20 to complete the firmware (ST300). . In step ST300, as shown in FIG. 9D, the data of the existing key value setting part is deleted and the converted data is added in step ST200 to complete the firmware in the hex file format.

After the firmware is completed, the firmware transmission means 14 of the game operation setting apparatus 10 transmits the completed firmware to the game operation apparatus 20 (ST400). The firmware is transmitted after connecting the input cable to the firmware input portion of the PCB board of the game operation device 20.

When there are a plurality of operation settings included in the firmware, the operation control means 22 of the game operation device 20 executes the game according to the operation setting selected from the plurality of operation settings at the request of the user using the game execution device 30. Control to operate on device 30. For example, assuming that the operation setting is from 1 to 10, when the firmware stored in the game operation device 20 is first executed, an integer variable is declared so that the variable is changed whenever the user presses a button for changing the primary key value. The key setting value of the operation setting of the number that matches the value of the variable among the operation settings from 1 to 10 is applied according to the value of the variable.
