Description

297l〇e A7 B7 五、發明説明（1 ) ^ . 發明領域 本發明係關於電子遊戲系統，更詳言之，爲一與一微 處理機控制之遊戲系統及一相關之光栅掃描顯示器或電視 搭配運作之手握控制器或控制面板。 相關技術 電腦遊樂系統約在1 9 8 〇年代早期首先問世並獲得 廣大歡迎。早期家用之遊戲相當簡單。例如，早期遊戲中 之一者包括在萤幕兩側設有兩電子板而將一電子球以類似 網球型式作來回推擋運動。這些早期遊戲所用的输入裝置 相當簡單，如搖桿或轉盤。 經濟部中央橾準局員工消費合作社印製 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 由赛加企業有限公司（SEGA)所製造的眞納士系 統（Ganesis Sytstera)爲近年來銷售上最成功的遊戲系 統之一。如圖1所指出，眞納士系統建立在一與一影像掃 描顯示器（亦即一標準電視）連接的微電腦搖控之遊戲裝 置1 0。該遊戲裝S1 0接受一遊戲匣以及具有一電子插 頭输入1 2，1 3以與兩手握控制板通信。一傳傳控制板 在圖2中顯示。該遊戲卡匣包含適當硬髋，其與遊戲裝置 1 0搭配自控制板3 0處理遊戲者之指令並在電視上顯示 出對特定遊戲之反應動作，爲求對以加强控控制板之功效 爲目的之本發明的了解而言：並不需再對遊戯裝置1 0作 詳細解釋。 圖2顯示目前眞納士系統所用的一傳統控制板3 0之 外觀。如其所示，該傳統控制板3 0包含一在其左側的搖 本紙張尺度適用中國國家橾準（CNS ) A4洗格（210X297公釐） A7 B7 五、發明説明（2 )' 桿狀直接鈕3 2 (D -鈕）及數個在其右邊的控制鈕（A ，B，C及開始鈕）。使用者一般以兩手握該操作板3 0 而以左姆指操控D —鈕而以右姆指操控A，B，C及開始 鈕。 我們將引用一假想的籃球比赛來解釋傳統控制板3 0 的使用方法。在此種遊戲中將球由一球員傳至另一球員爲 一必需的功能。若在傳統的控制板3 0中，使用者可能必 需用D鈕來指出帶球之球員的動向同時按A鈕以連縯地自 其他4個球員中選出接球的球員。使用者接著可能藉由按 C鈕將球傅至所選定的球員。雖然這些動作對某些人而言 或許顯得複雜，許多小孩及一些慣於遊戲的成人則可完成 較高級之手/眼配合運作。傅統控制器3 0則凸顯出對道 種高手的窬要。但是，回到我們的籃球遊戲的例子，請注 意到遊戲者無法經由傅統控制器立即選擇一球員去擋球。 如此例子所顯示，遊戲系統依II有改進的空間，詳言之， 亦即加强控制能力及更高的複雜度。 發明概要 經濟部中央標準局員工消費合作社印製 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本發明解決上述現有控制板所帶來之缺點並滿足消费 者對於愈趙複雜之遊戲之永無止境的需求。 依據本發明之一手握控制板的一個較隹實施例運用一 個搖桿狀之输入及一光學指向器。使用者操控搖桿狀输入 以控制一物髖同時指向螢幕以控制或選擇另一物體，如此 ，使用者首度可以輕易地同時控制兩獨立物體。 本紙涑尺度逋用中國國家禕準（CNS ) A4規格（210X297公嫠） 經濟部中央標準局貝工消費合作社印製 A7 B7 五、發明説明（3 )' . 本發明之新穎功能在隨後之申請專利範園中將明確訂 定。本發明在爲對其本身之構造及其操作方法，連同進一 步之目的及儍點作了解時，可參考隨後之描述，及所附之 圖解。 圖示之概要敘述 前面概述之發明將與下列之圖說一起詳述： 圖1爲一俥統遊戲裝置1 0之逮視圖：其爲一眞納士 系統之基本單元： 圖2爲圖1之傳統遊戯裝置所用之傳統控制板3 0之 上平面圚。 圖3 a爲一依據本發明之較佳雙模手握控制器1 0 0 之逮視圖。 圖3 b，3 c及3 d分別爲圖3 a之較佳雙模手握控 制器1 0 0之上平面圖，前視圖及一側視圖。 圖4爲一假想篮球遊戲所用的較佳雙模手握控制器 1 0 0之遠視圖，其中使用者正以左姆指移動第一球員 6 0 (運球者）同以藉由指向該球員而選擇另一球員6 2 (自第一球員接獲傅球者）； 圔5爲使用於圇4之較佳雙模手握控制器1 0 0中的 電路的結構圓。該電路乃以應用特定稹體電路（AS I C )2 0 0爲基礎： 圖6爲圇5之AS I C 2 0 0中所建立的通信及控制 邏輯： 本紙張尺度逍用中國國家輮準（CNS ) Α4規格（2H3X297公釐） (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 裝
