Interactive wireless game apparatus and wireless peripheral module

Abstract

An interactive wireless game apparatus includes a game host and a game peripheral apparatus. The game host includes a multimedia processing module and a wireless USB interface module, wherein the multimedia processing module can execute a game program and communicate with the wireless USB interface module by wireless signals that comply with the UWB protocol. The game peripheral apparatus detects motion signals from the player through an image sensor, and utilizes a data processing unit to digitally process the motion signals detected by the image sensor. Finally, the processed motion signals are converted into signals complying with the UWB protocol for outputting to the exterior.

RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicable.REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX[0003]Not applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention relates to an interactive wireless game apparatus and a wireless peripheral module and, more particularly, to an interactive user-friendly game apparatus with an improved baud rate.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]Electrical game apparatuses currently provide three-dimensional animation scenes with brilliant images and realistic sound effects. Therefore, players enjoy interactive and real time amusement through their immediate instructions detected by wireless peripheral modules. That is, the players can handle joysticks and buttons to control specified objects shown in images. Moreover, they give full play to their handling ability as the story of the game changes.[0006]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional electrical game apparatus 10. The ga...

Problems solved by technology

However, the receiving angle of the receiver 121 for infrared rays is limited to around 30-120 degrees, and the infrared rays are likely to be obstructed by a blocker such as a desk lamp or a decoration so that the wireless transmission is unpleasantly stopped.

Furthermore, the transmission rate (115.2-Kbps-16 Mbps) and the maximum transmission length (1-5 meters) of the infrared rays are also rather restricted; hence the manipulation for the game is seriously affected by aforesaid limitations.

Such a conventional game peripheral apparatus and game host cannot achieve the communication of considerable data between them.

That is, the transmission of the infrared ray practically cannot satisfy the requirement of the very high baud rate.

Moreover, the manipulation challenges this game peripheral apparatus.

As a result, the conventional game peripheral apparatus and game host cannot meet the requirement of the player for handy control.

Furthermore, the transmission rate of the instructions is slow so that the continuous instructions of movement cannot be immediately and speedily transmitted.

Therefore, the manipulation and application of conventional game apparatuses have difficulty keeping pace with the improvement of video games.
