Description

Armrest device for chair correction for APS correction in FPS game and chair including the same

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a chair armrest device for aim correction of an FPS game and a chair including the same.

FPS (First-Person Shooter) game refers to a first-person shooter that uses a weapon or a tool to fight in the same screen as the player's point of view, that is, the point of view of the player. Since the character's point of view in the game and the player's point of view must be the same, it is usually produced in 3D, and has a higher realism than other games.

In this FPS game, for more accurate aiming when targeting using a mouse (aim), the mouse is slowly moved down while naturally pulling the hand and arm that hold the mouse, and the motion of relocating the mouse is often used.

However, when such an operation is repeatedly performed, precise control is difficult due to friction between the arm and the place where the arm comes into contact, the gap between the arm and the place where the arm comes into contact is widened, and the muscles are hardened and the balance may be broken.

Accordingly, the player thinks that the mouse is being held down for the aim, but the natural aim is eventually difficult due to the above-mentioned obstacles.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop an auxiliary device or mechanism for improving the aim control of the FPS game.

Can be done. The armrest 110 is formed in a substantially bar shape, and may be provided with a groove formed in a lengthwise direction in which a player's arm can be seated on its upper surface, and also includes a cushioning material such as a memory foam to prolong use. It can provide player fatigue and comfort.

The armrest 110 is installed in a position that covers the upper portion of the armrest housing 130, and is connected to the slide linear guide 120 to adjust the slide linear guide 120 during the player's aim correction operation for an FPS game. With the help, after naturally retracting along the horizontal direction and the aim correction operation is completed, an operation of automatically returning to the original position by the elastic member 140 may be performed. This will be described later in more detail.

The slide linear guide 120 may be connected to the lower portion of the armrest 110 to slide the armrest 110 in a linear direction. The slide linear guide 120 may include a guide rail 121 and a shift block 122 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.

The guide rail 121 may be fixed between the inner front surface 131 and the rear surface 132 of the armrest housing 130, the cross section of which is formed in an H-shape and the length of the armrest housing ( 130) It can be designed to be accommodated and installed in the vertical direction inside.

The shift block 122 may be slidably installed on the guide rail 121. 3 and 4, the shift block 122 may include a block body 122a, a plurality of ball bearings 122b, an end plate 122c, and an end seal 122d.

The block body 122a may be formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and an upper portion of the guide rail 121 may be inserted therein to allow sliding along the guide rail 121.

The ball bearing 122b is located inside the block body 122a and can move along an infinite circulation path formed inside the block body 122a. At this time, the ball bearing 122b contacts the groove on the outer surface of the guide rail 121 to reduce friction when the block body 122a moves along the guide rail 121 so that it can move more smoothly.

The end plate 122c is a circulating component installed at the front end and the rear end of the block body 122a, and the end seal 122d is mounted on the outside of the end plate 122c to allow foreign matter to enter the block body 122a. It serves to seal so that it cannot enter.

The armrest housing 130 accommodates the slide linear guide 120 and may be covered by the armrest 110 at the top. Accordingly, the armrest housing 130 may be formed in a shape substantially similar to the armrest 110, but is preferably made of a three-dimensional shape having a constant depth for accommodating the slide linear guide 120.

On the other hand, the armrest housing 130 may be provided with an elastic member 140, a more detailed description thereof will be described later.

The elastic member 140 is installed inside the armrest housing 130 and provides elastic force and restoring force to the slide linear guide 120 so that the slide linear guide 120 slid backward can be positioned in the original position.

To this end, first, the elastic member 140, one side is fixed to the inner front surface of the armrest housing 130, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, the other side is fixed to one side of the shift block 122 Spring 141 may be included. At this time, one side of the shift block 122 means a side facing the inner front surface 131 of the armrest housing 130.

In addition, the elastic member 140 is optionally, one side is fixed to the inner rear surface 132 of the armrest housing 130, the other side of the shift block 122 further includes a compression spring 142 facing the other side can do.

In this way, the elastic member 140, the tension spring 141 on the front side of the shift block 122 is installed to connect between the armrest housing 130 and the shift block 122, the compression spring 142 arm It is installed on the rear side of the pedestal housing 130, but may be installed in a state spaced apart from the shift block 122.

Accordingly, when the player slowly moves the arm holding the mouse back for the APS correction of the FPS game, the armrest 110 on which the arm is mounted slides slowly along the arm, and the shift associated with the armrest 110 is shifted. The block 122 also moves backward along the guide rail 121. At this time, as the tension spring 141 connected to the front side of the shift block 122 increases, the restoring force to the origin occurs, and when the shift block 122 continues to move and presses the compression spring 142, the compression spring 142 ), an elastic force is generated. Compression spring 142 is also designed to have a compression limit, it is preferable that the compression limit point is designed to fit the limit of the armrest 110 and shift block 122 can be reversed. Subsequently, when the APS correction operation of the FPS game is completed, the arm of the player is released from the armrest 110. At this time, the restoring force of the tension spring 141 and the elastic force of the compression spring 142 act together to open the armrest 110. You can quickly return to the original position.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper front of the armrest housing 130 is opened when the armrest 110 is retracted, so that foreign matter or the like can be introduced, so that a housing cover 133 covering the corresponding part is formed. As the armrest 110 is slid backward, the inside of the armrest housing 130 is not visible and foreign matter can be prevented from entering the armrest housing 130.

The armrest support assembly 150 serves to support the armrest housing 130 from the chair body 200, and may be implemented in various structures and shapes. However, it is preferable that the upper and lower height adjustment and the adjusted height to be fixed are made of various assemblies for use of various players.

In addition, the armrest support assembly 150 may be configured by adding various assemblies to enable tilting at a predetermined angle in the front, rear, left, and right directions, respectively.

The vibration notification device unit 160 may provide a vibration notification signal for advancing the armrest 110 when the armrest 110 is maintained in a retracted state for a predetermined time or longer. To this end, the vibration notification device unit 160 may include a contact sensor 161a, a controller 162b, and a vibration element 162c.

The contact sensor 161a is installed on the guide rail 121 and may output a contact detection signal while contacting the shift block 122. The contact sensor 161a may be installed on a compression limit point among the guide rails 121. As such, the shift block 122 is reversed from the guide rail 121 by the tension spring 141 and the compression spring 142. By being installed at the maximum possible position, it is possible to detect that the shift block 122 has been located to the maximum point that can be reversed, and in this case, the contact detection signal can be output to the controller 162b during the contact.

The controller 162b may receive a contact detection signal from the contact sensor 161a, and output a vibration control signal when the reception duration of the contact detection signal is equal to or greater than a preset reference reception duration. That is, the controller 162b may output a vibration control signal to the vibration element 162c by determining that the contact detection signal is continuously received over a preset reference reception duration time.

The vibration element 162c, at least one is installed on the lower surface of the armrest 110, and may be configured to vibrate when a vibration control signal is received from the controller 162b. In this embodiment, various vibration elements 162c may be applied, but by applying an element capable of giving a short and strong vibration to a player who is focusing on an FPS game, the maximum that can correct the aim using the armrest 110 Vibration can be provided as a reminder to reach the retracted point and return the armrest 110 to its original position, so that the player can recognize this and help to take an immediate follow-up action.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the chair 200 to which the above-described armrest device 100 is applied may also be implemented.

More specifically, the chair 10 for aim correction of the FPS game may include a chair armrest 100 and a chair body 200.
