Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an ambient noise by providing a speaker at the head part of a player, an adder between the loudspeaker and a sound means for constituting a game device, and a microphone interposed the adder with an opposite phase converter. CONSTITUTION:A pair of left and right speakers 5, 6 are connected to a sound means 20 of a game device 1 by interposing adders 11, 12, microphones 7, 8 are connected to the adders 11, 12 by interposing opposite phase converters 13, 14, and an electric signal of a sound from the microphone 7, 8 is set as an electric signal of opposite phase and outputted to the adders 11, 12. Accordingly, a noise surrounding the head part 9 of a player who sits down on a chair 4 and operates a game 1 is taken into the microphones 7, 8, and the noise of opposite phase against the noise is applied, therefore, an ambient noise is cancelled for the player, and the sound space as for as a game sound by the sound means 20 can be realized.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

* Purpose

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a noise-reducing chair for reducing the noise of the surroundings so that only the person himself or herself can hear the necessary sound. Specifically, it relates to a chair for a game device used in an amusement center or the like in which a large number of game devices are gathered. For example, when enjoying a specific one game device, A game suitable for a case where the sound of a large number of surrounding game devices becomes noise and the player of this particular game device is in trouble.
A chair for a device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Up to now, although a device for reducing noise has been adopted in refrigerators, especially vacuum cleaners, it is particularly important in amusement centers and the like in arcades. However, there is no device to solve this in an undeveloped field. For example,
When you enjoy a particular game device in the deck, the sounds of many other game devices around you become noise to each other, and the sound of the particular game device you are enjoying. At the present time, the effect is remarkably impaired, and there has been no apparatus that solves this.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an amusement center or the like in which a large number of game devices are assembled.
When you enjoy a specific game device, you can reduce the noise of a large number of surrounding game devices and play the game of the specific game device.
It was developed for the purpose of making the game sound audible only to Ya himself.

* Configuration

The chair according to the present invention is a pre-made chair.
A speaker and a microphone are provided at the position where the head of the ear comes, and
A speaker provided at a position where the head of the player comes, an adder provided between the speaker and a sound means constituting the game device, and a position where the player's head comes. And a microphone provided with the anti-phase converter interposed in the adder.

[0005]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the noise surrounding the head of the player who sits on the chair and operates a particular game device is captured by the microphone, and the sound means of the game device is used. When the sound for the other game is reproduced from the speaker of this game device, as a result, a noise having a phase opposite to that of this noise is added, so that a specific game is generated. For the player who operates the device, it is possible to realize a sound space in which ambient noise is canceled and only the original game sound is used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to its embodiments. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a usage state of an embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main part of the embodiment. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a game apparatus having a substantially house-like shape as a whole, and a display section (not shown) such as a CRT is provided on almost the entire roof-shaped section which is the upper half of the game apparatus 1. An operation plate portion 3 is formed below the portion so as to project. Reference numeral 4 denotes a chair for a player, which is formed so as to be connected to the game apparatus 1 or connectable to the game apparatus 1. Reference numerals 5 and 6 are a pair of left and right loudspeakers, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the chair 4, respectively. Reference numerals 7 and 8 denote a pair of left and right microphones, which are provided on the left and right side walls of the top of the chair 4, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of left and right loudspeakers 5 and 6 are connected to the sound means 20 inside the game apparatus 1 via adders 11 and 12, respectively. , Underfloor wiring, etc. The left microphone 7 is connected to the adder 11 via the anti-phase converter 13, and the right microphone 8 is connected to the adder 12 via the anti-phase converter 14. The left and right anti-phase converters 13 and 14 convert the electric signals of the sounds coming from the left and right microphones 7 and 8 into electric signals of opposite phases and output them to the left and right adders 11 and 12.

In the present embodiment as described above, the noise surrounding the player who sits on the chair 4 and operates the game apparatus 1, that is, the noise surrounding the head 9 of the player is the left and right microphones. When the sound for game from the sound means 20 of the game apparatus 1 is reproduced by the left and right speakers 5, 6, the noise having the opposite phase to this noise is taken in. Since noise is added, as a result, it is possible for the player who operates the game apparatus 1 to realize a sound space with only the original game sound in which ambient noise is canceled. Become.

In other words, the noise around the head of the player is directly taken in, a noise having a phase opposite to that of the noise is made in real time to cancel the noise, and the noise for the game is taken. You will be able to concentrate on it. In addition,
The speakers 5 and 6, the microphones 7 and 8, the anti-phase converters 13 and 14, and the adders 11 and 12 are respectively
Although it has been described as a pair of left and right, these are only the left side,
Alternatively, it goes without saying that one set may be used as in the case of only the right side. Further, in the case of a game device having a large number of speakers for stereophonic sound, a microphone, an anti-phase converter, and an adder may be provided for each speaker. Of course.

[0010]

According to the present invention as described above, the noise around the playing game device, in other words, the noise around the head of the player can be reduced. In addition to the effect that more realistic sound can be obtained than before, active control of noise itself is possible, so there is no restriction on the installation conditions and location conditions of many game devices. effective. In particular, in the case of a large-sized game device or the like, when it is necessary to consider a 3D sound, that is, a so-called three-dimensional sound image, there is an extremely great advantage in that the presence of sound can be obtained.
