Definitions
- the invention relates to a joystick for controlling a computer, which additionally has a microphone
- Such 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
- the 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
- the 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
- 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
- a particularly secure recording of the voice commands can be achieved in that at least one further microphone and electronics to reduce the
- lamellae for bundling the sound waves are arranged on or on the microphone (s).
- Such acoustic lenses are known from loudspeakers
- 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
- the joystick can preferably also be in the form of an aircraft control handle or a steering wheel
- Figure 1 handle of a joystick according to the invention
- FIG. 3 further embodiment of a handle
- the 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.
- function keys 7 are provided for entering manual commands
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
