1 is a perspective view showing a game system having a wind speed device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a game system having a wind speed device of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, a game system 100 having a wind speed device is typically provided to various games such as motorcycles, vehicles, skis, powerboats, jet skis, etc., and can select and operate the game contents and game progress. The boarding medium 142 equipped with a functional control unit 144 and a monitor that is electrically / mechanically coupled to the boarding medium 142 and outputs a background screen and sound according to the operation of the boarding medium 142. (126) / the first to generate a constant wind speed in proportion to the speed generated by the operation on the game main body 110, the upper surface and the left and right sides of the game main body 110, the speaker 130 is configured in front The air blower panel member 123 to which the fourth wind blowers 123a to 123d are installed is mounted.

Here, although the speaker 130 is said to be mounted on the game main body 110, it may be mounted on the blowing panel member 123.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game main body 110 may include a program storage unit (not shown) according to a coin input port 112 for inputting a predetermined amount of money and a selection operation of a function control unit 144 after coin input. The microprocessor 113 reads a predetermined program and a course previously stored in the course data storage unit 114, and performs a general control operation for game execution according to the read data, and a control operation of the microprocessor 113. Accordingly, the speed sensing unit 118 and the sense of direction to detect the speed and direction change from the function control unit 144 of the boarding medium 142 while the moving picture and sound is provided through the monitor 126 and the speaker 130 When the speed / direction change by the branch unit 120 and the speed detecting unit 118 and the direction detecting unit 120 occurs, the wind speed / wind direction is generated by the microprocessor 113 according to the corresponding speed and direction. The wind speed / direction data storage unit 116 having wind speed / direction data for each speed, and the wind speed / direction data stored in the wind speed / direction data storage unit 116 are applied to the first to fourth wind speeders 123a-. It is configured to include a wind speed control unit 122 for driving 123d.

The monitor 126 and the speaker 130 are configured to receive control operations of the display controller 124 and the sound controller 128, respectively.

On the other hand, each of the blower panel members 123 mounted on the outer surface of the game main body are provided with first to fourth wind blowers 123a to 123d, and the wind blowers 123a to 123d control signals of the microprocessor 113. Is configured to output different wind speeds in some cases.

The operation of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

Here, the present invention is limited to a motorcycle game, but is applicable to various game machines in which moving images of a predetermined course (for example, a game using a speed mechanism such as a car / ski / jet ski / powerboat) can appear.

First, the player rides on a boarding medium (hereinafter referred to as a motorcycle) 142 mounted on the front of the game main body 110, and can perform a motorcycle simulation game according to a pre-stored game course in the boarding state. If a predetermined amount of money is deposited through the coin inlet 112 (steps 200 and 220), the microprocessor 113 recognizes the amount of money deposited and also stores the corresponding motorcycle program in a program storage unit (not shown). (Step 202, step 222).

Then, from the initial state, a moving picture indicating a predetermined road course is displayed on the monitor 126 according to the program driving (steps 204 and 224), and the player plays a simulation game along the road course of the moving picture. At this time, the ambient noise (for example, the driving sound of another vehicle, the horn, etc.) during the driving of the road course is output through the speaker 130 in accordance with the background currently displayed on the monitor, so that the game player receives the actual feeling of driving on the road to some extent.

On the other hand, the game player playing a simulation game as described above operates the steering wheel and the accelerator (input device) mounted on the function control unit 144 to change the moving direction and speed of the motorcycle 142, in which case the change operation From the wind turbines 123a to 123d mounted on the outer surface of the game main body 110, a predetermined wind is provided to the player.

This will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

In the initial state for the game player to play the simulation game after depositing the money as described above, the wind machines 123a to 123d mounted in the blower panel member 123 in the game standby state remain undriven. The road course is displayed on the monitor 126 when the predetermined key button is driven in response to the game start request, and the road course displayed on the monitor 126 is further increased while the speed of the motorcycle is increased according to the accelerator operation of the player. The process proceeds gradually (step 206, step 226).

At this time, the wind turbines 123a-123d provided on the outer surface of the game main body 110 are operated with reference to a predetermined speed versus wind speed data. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the speed data of the motorcycle 142 is 10 km / h, the wind speed output from the wind speed 123a-123d is 2 km / s, and when the speed is 20 km / h, the speed is 3 km / s. As such, the wind speed data may be preset for the motorcycle speed, and the wind speed slightly changed for the same speed may be output for the weather situation. For example, it is set to 4 km / s when the driving speed is 30 km / h when it is clear, and 5 km / s when the weather is cloudy, so that the wind speed data for the weather changes differently to provide the player with various wind speeds. The wind speed data can be arbitrarily set.

Meanwhile, when the speed of the motorcycle 142 is converted from 10 km / h to 20 km / h, the speed detecting unit 118 senses the changed speed and applies it to the microprocessor 113 (step 208 and step 210). The processor 113 searches / reads the wind speed / wind direction data storage unit 116 and applies a control signal to the wind speed controller 122 to output wind speed data, that is, 3 km / s wind speed relative to the corresponding speed. In step 122, the wind speed controllers 123a to 123d are controlled to output wind speeds increased to 3 km / s, which are currently set to output 2 km / s wind speeds (steps 212 and 214). However, if the speed change does not occur (no in step 210), the rotational speed of the currently driven wind turbine is maintained (step 216).

In other words, the rotational speed of the wind turbines 123a-123d provided on the outer surface of the game main body 110 is changed according to the running speed of the motorcycle 142, and the gamer feels different wind strengths in proportion to the running speed. .

On the other hand, if the game player changes the driving direction by operating the steering wheel while driving the motorcycle 142 (steps 228 and 230), the direction detecting unit 120 rotates in which direction the motorcycle 142 is rotated. The angle is sensed, and the sensed data is transmitted to the microprocessor 113. Then, the microprocessor 113 increases the wind speed of the wind speed in proportion to the rotation angle, so as to provide the maximum effect of wind or the like that may be felt when driving on the actual road (step 232, step 234).

For example, if the steering wheel is rotated to the right when driving along the right turn road course displayed on the monitor 126, the microprocessor 113 may refer to the sensed data on the steering wheel angle to provide a stronger wind speed to the left side of the player. In order to transmit, the rotational speeds of the first and second wind blowers 123a and 123b are increased, and the rotational speeds of the third and fourth wind blowers 123c and 123d are decreased, so that the strength of the wind in the left and right directions is mutually reduced. It is different.

Here, when the motorcycle 142 is rotated as described above, the game player changes the rotational speed of the wind turbines 123a to 123d provided to the left and right sides of the game main body 110 according to the rotational direction thereof. Although it may feel different, the wind panel member 123 may change the angle according to the rotation of the motorcycle 142, so that the wind speed may be more specifically provided. That is, while a predetermined driving motor and a worm gear are mounted on the side surface of the game main body 123, when the microprocessor senses the rotation state of the motorcycle while the blower panel member is hinged, the driving signal is applied to the driving motor provided on one side. The angle of the blower panel member can be adjusted.

On the other hand, in the game system having a wind speed device and the wind speed control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, but limited to the game machine provided with the game motorcycle, but in other game machines such as flight simulation, water surface Because it can be applied to a variety of racing and sports game genres, such as water simulation, land simulation, etc. made, even if the modifications and other embodiments described in the present invention protrude, should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or prospect of the present invention, It should be within the scope of the claims appended hereto.

In addition, wind blowers mounted in the blower panel member of the present invention generally refer to devices for generating wind. In other words, examples of wind blower types that generate wind include single fans (modified according to function based on fan shape), long fans (used for air curtains), and nozzles (small nozzles). And various types of compressors (compressed air is injected through an air jet nozzle).

The wind turbine may be mounted by selecting any one of the above wind turbine types or by mixing one or more other wind turbines according to the contents of the game program.

As described in detail above, according to the game system having the wind speed device of the present invention and the wind speed control method thereof, a plurality of wind speed machines are provided in a game machine capable of performing a predetermined game simulation, and the speed or direction is changed when the game is executed. If this occurs, by providing the wind speed accordingly to the gamers, there is an effect that can enjoy the game more realistically.

In addition, by selecting the type of wind blower used in the blower panel member according to the contents of the game program, it is possible to realize an appropriate wind according to the contents of the game. When selected, the appearance of the game console can be improved.

Moreover, the wind sound generated by the wind generated by the wind turbine directly contacting the player's ear provides the same sound as the wind sound in the real situation.
