Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a game controller, and in particular to a system and method for setting spare keys of a game controller. Background Art

[0002] Existing game controllers often require spare keys on the back of the game controller for ease of operation during use. At present, for game controllers with spare keys, each specific spare key on the back is fixedly corresponding to a specific function key on the front. When multiple spare keys are needed, more spare keys need to be set, resulting in an increase in the number of spare keys and the need to arrange them horizontally. Some spare keys are still far away from the fingers and are still inconvenient to operate with fingers. Moreover, if the function key corresponding to the spare key needs to be replaced, it is necessary to connect the game controller through computer software to reset it, and the setting operation is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, the development of a setting system and setting method for game controller spare keys has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies and provides a system and method for setting spare keys of a game controller.

[0004] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A setting system for a game controller spare key, comprising a power supply and a circuit main board, the setting system also comprising a pairing circuit board, the power supply is connected to the circuit main board, and the circuit main board is connected to the pairing circuit board; a function key circuit unit is provided on the circuit main board, and the function key circuit unit is provided with a function key; a setting key circuit unit, a function copy unit, a spare key circuit unit and a drive circuit unit are provided on the pairing circuit board, the spare key circuit unit is provided with a spare key, and the setting key circuit unit is provided with a setting key; the function key circuit unit is connected to the function copy unit, the function copy unit is connected to the setting key circuit unit, the spare key circuit unit and the drive circuit unit, and the drive circuit unit is connected to an alarm device.

[0005] Furthermore, the function copying unit includes a signal receiving circuit, a program pairing circuit, and a program clearing circuit; the function key circuit unit is connected to the signal receiving circuit, the signal receiving circuit is connected to the program pairing circuit, the program clearing circuit and the setting key circuit unit, the program pairing circuit is connected to the setting key circuit unit, the spare key circuit unit and the driving circuit unit, and the program clearing circuit is connected to the setting key circuit unit, the spare key circuit unit and the driving circuit unit.

[0006] Furthermore, the warning device is a micro vibration motor or an LED indicator light.

[0007] Furthermore, the pairing circuit board is mounted on the back of the circuit main board, and the standby key and the setting key are both arranged on the back of the game controller so as to be easily operated by the index finger and the middle finger respectively.

[0008] The present invention also provides a method for setting a spare key of a game controller, which is to set a pairing circuit board to receive a signal from any function key on the circuit main board, and copy the function of the function key to the spare key, so that the function of the spare key is equivalent to that of the function key.

[0009] Furthermore, the pairing circuit board receives a signal from any function key on the circuit main board through a signal receiving circuit, and copies the function of the function key to the spare key through a program pairing circuit; the pairing circuit board triggers the signal receiving circuit and the program pairing circuit to work through a setting key.

[0010] Furthermore, the paired circuit board clears the function of the standby key through a program clearing circuit, that is, restores it to a non-function key, and triggers the program clearing circuit to work through a setting key.

[0011] Furthermore, the paired circuit board drives the warning device to work through a warning driving unit to prompt the operator whether the function setting is completed.

[0012] Working principle of the present invention:

[0013] When in use, press and hold the setting key to trigger the signal receiving circuit and the program pairing circuit. Then press and hold any function key that needs to be set as a spare key. At this time, the signal receiving circuit receives the function key signal and transmits it to the program pairing circuit for pairing. After the program pairing circuit completes the pairing, the driving circuit unit drives the alarm device to prompt that the pairing is completed. At this time, the spare key copies the function of the function key and can be used as the function key.

[0014] When the spare key needs to be replaced with another function key, the replacement can be completed by following the above operation.

[0015] When the standby key function needs to be canceled (restored), press and hold the set key to trigger the signal receiving circuit and program pairing circuit to work. Then press and hold the standby key, the signal receiving circuit receives the standby key signal and transmits it to the program clearing circuit. After the program clearing circuit clears the standby key program, the standby key loses the function of the original paired function key. At this time, the driving circuit unit drives the warning device to prompt that the program clearing is completed.

[0016] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are: the structural design of the present invention is reasonable and ingenious, only one spare key and one switching switch are required to realize that the spare key replaces the function of any function key, the function setting operation of the spare key is simple and convenient, and only one spare key and one setting key need to be added to the game controller to realize the function copying of any function key, which facilitates the layout design of the spare key and setting key positions.
