Description

Joystick mit MikrofonJoystick with microphone
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Joystick zur Steuerung eines Computers, der zusatzlich ein Mikrofon aufweistThe invention relates to a joystick for controlling a computer, which additionally has a microphone
Aus der DE 298 04 706 ist ein derartiger Joystick bekannt Da herkömmliche Joysticks für Computer lediglich einen Joystick-Handgriff und mehrere Funktionstasten zur manuellen Eingabe von Befehlen aufweisen, die bei bestimmten Anwendung nur schwierig flussig zu bedienen sind, kann es insbesondere bei temporeichen Spielen zu lange dauern, bis bestimmte Tasten gefunden und betätigt sindSuch a joystick is known from DE 298 04 706. Since conventional joysticks for computers have only one joystick handle and several function keys for manual input of commands that are difficult to operate fluently in certain applications, it can be too long, especially in fast-moving games take until certain keys are found and pressed
Deshalb wurde vorgeschlagen, im Joystick eine Sprachschnittstelle, insbesondere ein Mikrofon anzuordnen, wodurch Sprachbefehle des Benutzers aufhehmbar und in analoge Eingangssignale umwandelbar sindIt has therefore been proposed to arrange a voice interface, in particular a microphone, in the joystick, as a result of which voice commands from the user can be recorded and converted into analog input signals
Das Mikrofon ist in einem separaten flexiblen Haltearm gelagert, um es nahe an dem Mund eines Benutzers positionierbar ist Dieser Haltearm erzeugt als zusatzliches Bauteil zusatzliche Herstellungs- und MontagekostenThe microphone is mounted in a separate flexible holding arm so that it can be positioned close to the mouth of a user. This holding arm creates additional manufacturing and assembly costs as an additional component
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Joystick der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß bei einfacher Konstruktion preiswerter Herstellbarkeit und leichter Handhabbarkeit zusatzliche Bauteile nicht erforderlich sind und dennoch eine gute Aufnahme der Sprachbefehle gewahrleistet istThe object of the invention is therefore to improve a joystick of the type mentioned in such a way that additional components are not required with a simple construction which is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to handle and yet a good reception of the voice commands is ensured
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemaß durch einen Joystick nach Anspruch 1 gelost Wesentlich ist dabei, daß das Mikrofon in das freie Ende des Joystick-Handgriffes integriert istThis object is achieved according to the invention by a joystick according to claim 1 It is essential that the microphone is integrated in the free end of the joystick handle
Hierdurch kann auf einen zusatzlichen Haltearm verzichtet werden, so daß nicht nur Kosten in Herstellung und Montage eingespart werden, sondern auch der Joystick sowohl beimThis makes it possible to dispense with an additional holding arm, so that not only are costs saved in manufacture and assembly, but also the joystick both when
Benutzen als auch bei der Lagerung besser handhabbar ist Die Integration des Mikrofons in die Spitze des Handgriffes ist konstruktiv einfach und erlaubt eine gute Aufnahme der Sprachbefehle, da der Handgriff bei der Benutzung üblicherweise in Richtung des Kopfes des Benutzers zeigtUse as well as easier to handle during storage. The integration of the microphone in the tip of the handle is structurally simple and allows a good reception of the Voice commands, since the handle usually points towards the user's head when in use
Eine besonders sichere Aufnahme der Sprachbefehle kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß mindestens ein weiteres Mikrofon und eine Elektronik zur Reduzierung derA particularly secure recording of the voice commands can be achieved in that at least one further microphone and electronics to reduce the
Umgebungsgerausche in das Gehäuse des Joysticks integriert ist Derartige elektronische Schaltungen sind an sich bekanntAmbient noise is integrated into the housing of the joystick. Such electronic circuits are known per se
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es außerdem, wenn an dem bzw an den Mikrofon(en) Lamellen zur Bündelung der Schallwellen angeordnet sind Derartige akustische Linsen sind von Lautsprechern bekanntIt is also particularly advantageous if lamellae for bundling the sound waves are arranged on or on the microphone (s). Such acoustic lenses are known from loudspeakers
Gunstig ist es ferner, wenn ein Lautsprecher in das Gehäuse des Joysticks integriert ist Auf diese Weise sind bestimmte akustische Effekte erzielbar, die mit einem in den Computer eingebauten oder bei dem Bildschirm plazierten Lautsprechern nicht erreicht werden könnenIt is also advantageous if a loudspeaker is integrated into the housing of the joystick. In this way, certain acoustic effects can be achieved which cannot be achieved with a loudspeaker built into the computer or placed on the screen
Eine besonders kostengünstige Ausführungsform des Joysticks kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß einzelne Teile des Joysticks die Resonanzflache für ein Mikrophon oder für den Lautsprecher bildenA particularly inexpensive embodiment of the joystick can be achieved in that individual parts of the joystick form the resonance surface for a microphone or for the loudspeaker
Für bestimmte Spiele kann der Joystick vorzugsweise auch in Form eines Flugzeugsteuergriffs oder eines Lenkrads ausgebildet seinFor certain games, the joystick can preferably also be in the form of an aircraft control handle or a steering wheel
Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen Es zeigenFurther advantages and features of the invention result from the following description and the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings Show it
Figur 1 Handgriff eines erfindungsgemaßen JoysticksFigure 1 handle of a joystick according to the invention
Figur 2 Ausführungsvariante eines JoysticksFigure 2 variant of a joystick

Der in Figur 1 gezeigte Joystick 1 hat einen Handgriff 2, der an einem nicht naher dargestellten Grundgehause 3 angelenkt ist In den vorderen Bereich 4 des freien Endes 5 des Handgriffes 2 ist ein Mikrofon 6 integriert Dabei kann das Mikrofon 6 entweder hinter einer oder mehreren Öffnungen im Inneren des freien Endes 5 oder direkt frei nach außen am freien Ende des Handgriffs 2 angebracht sein Neben dem Mikrofon 6 sind Funktionstasten 7 zur Eingabe manueller Befehle vorgesehenThe joystick 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a handle 2, which is articulated to a basic housing 3 (not shown in more detail). A microphone 6 is integrated in the front area 4 of the free end 5 of the handle 2. The microphone 6 can either be behind one or more openings be attached inside the free end 5 or directly freely to the outside at the free end of the handle 2. In addition to the microphone 6, function keys 7 are provided for entering manual commands
Bei der üblicherweise angewandten Haltung des Joysticks 1 zeigt der Bereich 4 und somit auch das Mikrofon 6 zum Kopf des Benutzers, so daß die Schallwellen auf direktem Weg auf das Mikrofon 6 treffen Das freie Ende 5 ist dabei unabhängig von der momentanen Stellung des Handgriffes 2 relativ zum Grundgehause 3 der am nächsten zum Mund des Benutzers gelegene Punkt des Joysticks 1When the joystick 1 is usually used, the area 4 and thus also the microphone 6 point towards the head of the user, so that the sound waves hit the microphone 6 directly. The free end 5 is relative regardless of the current position of the handle 2 to the base housing 3, the point of the joystick 1 closest to the user's mouth
Vor dem Mikrofon 6 sind in den Bereich 4 des freien Endes 5 mehrere Lamellen 8 angeformt, die die auftreffenden Schallwellen besonders gut bundein und zu dem Mikrofon 6 leitenIn front of the microphone 6, a plurality of lamellae 8 are formed in the area 4 of the free end 5, which bundle the incident sound waves particularly well and lead to the microphone 6
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann das Mikrofon 4' auch direkt an das freie Ende 5 des Handgriffs 2 angesetzt sein, was in der Figur 3 gestrichelt dargestellt ist In Figur 2 ist eine Ausführungsform eines Joysticks 1 gezeigt, bei der in dem Grundgehause 3 ein zweites Mikrofon 9 zur Aufnahme der Umgebungsgerausche angeordnet ist Durch eine an sich bekannte elektronische Differenzierungsschaltung können störendeIn an alternative embodiment, the microphone 4 ′ can also be attached directly to the free end 5 of the handle 2, which is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 3. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a joystick 1 in which a second microphone is located in the basic housing 3 9 is arranged to record the ambient noise. By means of an electronic differentiation circuit known per se, disruptive
Umgebungsgerausche damit auf ein Minimum reduziert werden Bei dem in Figur 3 dargestellten Joystick 1 ist eine weitere Variante dargestellt, bei der der Handgriffs 2 selber oder Teilbereiche 10 davon die Membran des Mikrofons 6 bilden. So können die Produktionskosten weiter gesenkt werden, da ein vollständiges separates Mikrofon nicht mehr erforderlich ist. This reduces ambient noise to a minimum A further variant is shown in the joystick 1 shown in FIG. 3, in which the handle 2 itself or partial regions 10 thereof form the membrane of the microphone 6. In this way, production costs can be reduced further since a complete separate microphone is no longer required.
