Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a game control device equipped with a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch whose resistance value changes depending on the pressing force, and more specifically, it is applicable to personal computers and gaming computers. The present invention relates to a game control device in which the opening/closing cycle of a signal sent to a computer can be freely controlled by the pressing force of a switch of a device related to game control such as the above.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, for example, a computer game controller has one or two ON/OFF switches,
It is composed of two sets of variable resistors, and the output of the variable resistors is used for moving the cursor, etc., and is used for turning on/off.
The OFF switch signal is used to fire missiles and pistols in TV games, etc.

This ON/OFF switch turns on once when pressed once.
The function was simple, and it was inconvenient when you wanted to fire missiles repeatedly.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention was devised by focusing on such conventional problems, and its purpose is to change the output circuit of a computer game controller switch to an arbitrary value by using a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch and a variable frequency oscillator. To provide a game control device equipped with a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch which can increase the interest of the game by opening and closing periodically.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention uses a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber whose resistance value changes depending on the pressing force for the switch of the game control device in a game control device for a personal computer. The gist is that a variable frequency type oscillation circuit is connected to the oscillation circuit, and an output circuit controlled by this oscillation circuit is provided.

Figure 1 shows an example of the circuit diagram of this invention, where 1 is a resistor, 2 is a capacitor, and 3 is a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber whose resistance value changes depending on the pressing force.
9187, Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-54019), 4 is an IC such as a NAND circuit, and these components constitute a variable frequency oscillation circuit 10. Further, 5 is a relay driving transistor, and 6 is the variable frequency type oscillation circuit 1.
This is a relay (output circuit) controlled by 0.

The oscillation frequency of the variable frequency oscillation circuit 10 is determined by the resistance value of the pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch 3 and the capacitance of the capacitor 2.

The output from the oscillation circuit 10 switches the transistor 5, and the relay 6 is driven.

Therefore, if the resistance of the pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch 3 is changed by pressing, the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit 10 is changed, and the opening/closing cycle of the relay can be adjusted as desired.

Next, Figure 2 is a block diagram of this invention.

Therefore, if the opening/closing of this relay 6 is used as a switch of a game controller, the user can arbitrarily control the cycle of the opening/closing signal by the computer.

The pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch section 3, the oscillation circuit 10, and the relay 6 are incorporated into the grip section 12 of the device 1, and are connected to a computer 13, etc., to perform the operations described above.

[Effect of idea]

This invention uses a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber whose resistance value changes depending on the pressing force for the switch of the game control device in a game control device for a personal computer as described above.
A variable frequency oscillation circuit is connected to this pressure-sensitive conductive rubber switch, and an output circuit controlled by this oscillation circuit is provided, so the opening/closing cycle of the switch signal of the game controller can be freely controlled by pressing with the user's fingertips. Therefore, new techniques can be used when playing computer games, etc., and the game becomes more interesting.
