Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a computer for playing television games, such as a personal combination coater or a television-type game machine.

1. Background Art Conventionally, there have been many devices for playing television games using personal computers, television-type game machines, or the like. The content of these video games is determined by the software, and the level of interest is also determined by the game's roughness and wear.

By the way, when playing these video games, the operator (player) gets excited depending on the content of the game, and if this level of excitement can be reflected in the game content, the player will become more interested in the game. It increases. There was a demand for something like this to appear.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the ten conventional circumstances, and provides a computer that can further increase the excitement of the operator in accordance with the degree to which the operator is excited by the content of the video game. This is what we provide.

``Summary of the Invention'' The present invention includes a humidity sensor installed on a predetermined surface of a gripping member such as a joystick, and displays the weather on a monitor according to the level of humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

Further, in the present invention, a humidity sensor is provided on a predetermined surface of a gripping member such as a joystick, and the progress of the game is changed depending on the level of humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Fig. 1 is a top view of an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a left side view of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a bottom view of Fig. 1. be.

In the figure, a gripping member (stick) 10 is tiltably installed on a base 30 and has a trigger button 11 and a humidity sensor 20 such as a window 12. The gripping member 10 shown in Figure 1.2 is called a joystick, and this joystick generally allows input of the states of eight directions and two trigger buttons. .

The humidity sensor 20 is composed of a semiconductor humidity sensor or the like, and may be provided on any surface of the gripping portion 10 as long as it is at a position that is touched by the operator's hand, but it must be sufficiently covered by the operator's hand. It is preferable to install it in a part.

In addition, another 1 to rigger button 11a is provided on the base 30, and a suction plate 31, an output changeover switch 32, a sensor output changeover switch 33, and an output door 34 are provided at the bottom of the base 30. A 9-pin connector 35 is provided at the end of this output terminal 34. A signal processing circuit 40, which will be described later, is built into the base 30.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a signal processing circuit 40 that outputs an analog signal or a digital signal according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 20, and FIG. 5 shows the circuit in FIG. 4 more specifically. However, in this example,
This shows a case where the bridge circuit 41 is omitted.

The signal processing circuit 40 includes a signal carrier wave oscillation circuit 41a,
Bridge circuit 41, amplifier 42, and rectifier circuit 42 a
, an A/D converter 1'13, a clock oscillation circuit 44, and a NAND circuit 45. The output signal of the A/D converter 43 is analog, and the width of this pulse corresponds to the detected humidity, and a personal combination coater or the like having a sampling function detects the width of the output signal. On the other hand, NANO
) The output signal of the n-path 45 is for digital use, the number of pulses corresponds to the detected humidity λ1, and is sent to a personal pump coater or the like that does not have a sampling function.

In Fig. 5, the switch SWI is a switch for initialization 1 full reset 1~, and when turned on, the initial number 13 (Ov) is emitted. , to be able to accurately measure the degree of excitement. Also, the resistance R
X and CX determine the width of the output pulse of the A/D converter/I3, and the width is determined depending on the personal computer etc. to be connected. The clock oscillator 44 outputs a pulse with a width of several tens of milliseconds that moves rightward. Although the bridge circuit 41 is omitted in FIG. 5, it can be omitted if the impedance of the humidity sensor +J20 is low, and if the impedance of the humidity sensor 20 is higher than a predetermined value. in case of,
A bridge circuit 41 is required to perform this matching.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be explained.

First, using the output changeover switch 32 shown in FIG. 3, it is determined whether the output is analog or digital, and the sensor changeover switch is set to the humidity sensor side. Then, the -1 connector 35 is connected to a connector of a personal computer or the like. While playing a predetermined game, the operator grasps the grip member 10 with his/her hand.

As the game progresses, the operator's level of excitement gradually increases, and his hands become sweaty as the game progresses.

Due to this increase in sweat, the humidity in the closed space created between the hand and the gripping member 10 increases. Since the humidity sensor 20 is installed in this closed space, the humidity sensor 20
sensitively detects the humidity and responds to the humidity level.
Send the number to a personal computer, etc.

On the other hand, personal-1 which received the signal regarding this humidity ()
A computer or the like displays the humidity level on an analog display section 61 provided below the game execution screen 51 shown in FIG. Alternatively, in the game execution screen 52 shown in FIG.
Since the level of humidity in the room is displayed, the sense of realism in the game is increased.

Also, if the operator becomes excited as the game progresses,
The progress of the game changes depending on the level of excitement.
You may also do so. To do this, it is first necessary to provide means for executing the game software and a game progress control means for changing the progress of the game in accordance with the level of humidity detected by the humidity sensor IJ-20. As an example of the game progress contents changing, it is possible to change the complexion of the characters appearing in the game depending on the level of excitement of the operator. Of course, there are other examples.

d3, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the above-mentioned operation example.

- FIG. 9 shows an example of a block diagram necessary to realize an example of the operation.

= 9 - In other words, the input from the joystick and the humidity sensor 20
The input from the keyboard 72 is sent to the computer 70 via the general-purpose board 1 71, while the signal from the keyboard 72 is also sent to the computer 70.
After being sent to the pump coater main body 70 and subjected to predetermined calculations, it is displayed on the monitors 51 and 52. Note that FIG. 10 shows an example of the =1 amp coater main body 70.

Although the first embodiment has been explained using a personal computer as an example, the present invention may also be applied to a dedicated game machine called a so-called television game machine. Moreover, it can be applied not only to simple games but also to so-called adventure games, which are analyzed using a combicoater. In other words, it can be applied to situations in which the operator becomes mentally excited, such as confusion or impatience, in a dialog format.

Furthermore, if you apply 1.
The present invention can be applied to the case where the pilot's aptitude is determined by equipping the pilot with -10=overturn.

It is also intended to be applied to tests for car drivers rather than airplanes, and is particularly suitable for driving on highways. J: Instead of the above-mentioned grip part U10, it is sufficient to use the steering wheel, and since it is rare to take your hands off the steering wheel on the expressway, it is possible to relatively accurately detect the driver's degree of excitement. can.

Note that the sensor changeover switch 33 in FIG.
Either or both of the trigger switch and the humidity sensor may be selected.

Initial reset 1-switch SW1 shown in Figure 5
The conventional trigger button 11a may also be used. The humidity sensor 20 includes a condensation sensor 1 or a dew condensation prediction sensor in addition to a normal humidity sensor.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention has the advantage of being able to further improve the excitement of the operator in accordance with the degree to which the operator is excited by the content of the video game.
