Embodiment 1

[0035] FIG. 1 shows the overall structure of a game system 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The game system 1 functions as a communication system that realizes wireless communication between the master and slaves. The game system 1 of Embodiment 1, as an input interface for the user, includes wireless controllers 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g, and 10h (hereinafter collectively referred to as , referred to as 'Wireless Controller 10'). In the illustrated example, eight wireless controllers 10 are shown, but the number of wireless controllers 10 is not limited thereto, and may be 7 or less, or may be 9 or more. The game machine 20 is configured as a communication device having a wireless communication function, and the wireless controller 10 is configured as a terminal device that communicates with the game machine 20 . The game machine 20 generates AV (Audio Visual) data of the game based on the user's game operation instruction transmitted from the w...

Embodiment 2

[0087] In Embodiment 1, the implementation method of the wireless communication between the game machine and the controller for the game machine was described. However, in the conventional game system, the game machine and the controller for the game machine are usually connected by wire through a cable. . In this case, one end of the cable is fixed to the controller, a connector is attached to the other end of the cable, and the controller and the game machine are connected by inserting the connector into a slot (insert) of the game machine. Generally, a game machine is formed with a plurality of slots, for example two slots, and when two players play a game, it is only necessary to insert a connector of a controller into each slot. In the case of more than three people playing games, by connecting four optional adapters with expansion slots in each slot of the game machine, and inserting the connector of the controller into the slots of the adapters, a maximum of 8 players c...

Abstract

There is provided a game device which can be connected to a plurality of controllers. The game device (20) has a communication module (24) serving as a plurality of masters which can be radio-connected with slaves. One communication module (24a) performs enquiry process for establishing connection with a plurality of slaves while the other communication module (24b) does not perform enquiry process. The communication module (24a) which has performed enquiry transmits information concerning a slave not connected to itself, to a control section (22) while the communication module (24b) acquires the information from the control section (22) to acquire information required for establishing connection with the slave. Thus, it is possible to rapidly establish connection with a slave.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to the technology for realizing wireless communication between a master and a slave. Background technique [0002] It is common for a game machine and a controller for the game machine operated by a user to be connected by a cable, but in recent years, a system for wirelessly connecting the game machine and the controller has been proposed. By adopting a wireless controller, users can enjoy games with a free posture. [0003] In the proposed wireless game system, it is assumed that a wireless communication unit of a game machine and a wireless controller perform a one-to-one wireless connection, and that a connection partner is uniquely determined. When a plurality of users use the wireless controller, it is necessary to install a dedicated wireless communication unit assigned to each wireless controller in a slot of a game machine in each wireless controller. Therefore, the user must a...
