[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. [Figure 4] 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 and the like show an operating device 10 as an example of an embodiment. In the following description, X1 and X2 shown in FIG. 1 are respectively right and left directions, and Y1 and Y2 are respectively forward and backward. Also, Z1 and Z2 shown in FIG. 2 are respectively upward and downward. However, these directions and arrangement positions are defined to explain the shapes and relative positional relationships of elements (components, members, and parts) of the operating device 10, and do not limit the attitude of the operating device 10.

[0009] 1 shows an operation device 10 (electronic device) as an example of an embodiment. The operation device 10 is used as an input device for an information processing device having a function of executing a game program, a function of playing video images, a function of communicating via the Internet, and the like. The operation device 10 is capable of wired or wireless communication with the information processing device, and transmits a signal corresponding to an operation performed by a user on the operation device 10 to the information processing device. The operation device 10 incorporates various sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, etc.) used to detect the attitude and movement of the operation device 10, a battery, a mechanism for providing feedback to the user by vibration, sound, light, etc.

[0010] As described later, the operation device 10 has a speaker 2 (see FIG. 2) that outputs sound, and a first microphone 8A and a second microphone 8B (see FIG. 4) for acquiring the user's spoken voice. Voice data acquired through the microphones 8A and 8B is transmitted to an information processing device and provided for voice recognition processing, or used for voice chat (voice call) with other users. Voice data of other users is output from a speaker connected to the information processing device or a speaker 2 built into the operation device 10. The voice data acquired through the microphones 8A and 8B may be subjected to noise processing, echo processing, etc. in the operation device 10 before being transmitted to the information processing device.

[0011] [Input member] As shown in FIG. 1, the operating device 10 has a left held portion 10L and a right held portion 10R on its left and right portions, respectively, for a user to hold with his / her hands. The held portions 10L and 10R are separated in the left-right direction, and a device center portion 10M is formed between the front portions of the held portions 10L and 10R. The held portions 10L and 10R may have a grip 11 extending rearward from the rear edge of the device center portion 10M. The size of the device center portion 10M in the front-rear direction may be the same as that of the held portions 10L and 10R. In this case, the held portions 10L and 10R may not have a grip 11 extending rearward.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of input members for a user to operate with his / her fingers are provided on the upper surface of the front of the held parts 10L and 10R. Specifically, a plurality of input buttons 21 are provided on the upper surface of the right held part 10R. For example, four input buttons 21 are arranged at the ends of a cross. Also, a direction key (cross button) 22 having a cross shape is arranged on the upper surface of the front of the left held part 10L. The shape of the direction key is not limited to a cross, and may be a circle or a square, as long as the direction and the amount of displacement can be input in the front, back, left, right, and diagonal directions. As shown in FIG. 1, the operating device 10 may have input buttons 23 on the right and left sides of the front of the touch panel 27. Furthermore, the held parts 10L and 10R may have input buttons 24 on their front surfaces.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the operation device 10 may have an input stick 25. The input stick 25 is arranged, for example, on the right and left sides of the rear of the device central portion 10M. The input stick 25 can be tilted in its radial direction, and rotated around the center line of the initial position in the tilted state. The input stick 25 may be supported so as to be movable up and down, and may function as a button. Instead of tilting in the radial direction, the input stick 25 may be slidable in its radial direction. Furthermore, the operation device 10 may have a button 26 located behind the touch panel 27 and at the center in the left-right direction. The button 26 functions as a power button of the information processing device to which the operation device 10 is connected, or a start button that instructs the start of a wireless connection between the information processing device and the operation device 10.

[0014] The position of the input stick 25 and the arrangement of the directional key 22 and the input button 21 are not limited to the example of the operation device 10. For example, the position of the right-side input button 21 and the position of the input stick 25 may be interchanged. Also, the position of the directional key 22 and the position of the input stick 25 may be interchanged.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the operation device 10 has a plate-shaped touch panel 27 on the upper surface of the device central portion 10M. The touch panel 27 is disposed, for example, in front of the left and right input sticks 25. The touch panel 27 includes a touch sensor. The touch sensor outputs a signal according to the position of a finger touching the upper surface of the touch panel 27. The touch sensor is, for example, a capacitance sensor. The touch panel 27 may be supported so as to be movable up and down in response to a user's pressing operation. In the example of the operation device 10, the width of the touch panel 27 in the left-right direction gradually increases toward the front. This makes it easy for the user to touch the front part of the touch panel 27 with their thumb while holding the held portions 10L and 10R in their hands.

[0016] In the example of the operation device 10, the held portions 10L and 10R of the operation device have a symmetrical shape. Unlike the example of the operation device 10, they do not have to have a symmetrical shape.

[0017] [Exterior materials] Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the operating device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the operating device 10 has an upper cover part 30 and a lower cover part 40 as exterior members of the operating device 10. The exterior member formed of the upper cover part 30 and the lower cover part 40 forms the outer surface of the operating device 10 and houses various parts (speaker 2, microphones 8A and 8B, circuit board 6, vibration motor 28, battery, etc.) provided in the operating device 10. The upper cover part 30 and the lower cover part 40 may be formed of resin or the like.

[0018] The upper cover part 30 has a left part 30L constituting a part of the outer surface of the left held part 10L, a right part 30R constituting a part of the outer surface of the right held part 10R, and a central part 30M connecting the left part 30L and the right part 30R and constituting a part of the outer surface of the device central part 10M. Similarly, the lower cover part 40 has a left part 40L constituting a part of the outer surface of the left held part 10L, a right part 40R constituting a part of the outer surface of the right held part 10R, and a central part 40M connecting the left part 40L and the right part 40R and constituting a part of the outer surface of the device central part 10M. The upper cover part 30 and the lower cover part 40 are fixed to each other. The central part 30M of the upper cover part 30 has a plurality of sound holes 31 for outputting sound from the speaker 2 and a sound hole 32 for transmitting sound from the outside to the microphone 8A. The central part 40M of the lower cover part 4 ... B A sound hole 41 (see FIG. 4) is formed in the upper surface of the base for transmitting sound from the outside.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the operating device 10 has a frame 50. Various components of the operating device 10 are arranged on this frame 50. The frame 50 has a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the operating device 10 (the outer shapes of the upper cover part 30 and the lower cover part 40), and has a plate-shaped central part 51 in the middle. The circuit board 6 is fixed to the underside of the central part 51. The frame 50 is fixed to the inside of an exterior member constituted by the upper cover part 30 and the lower cover part 40. Here, the upper cover part 30 covers the upper side of the frame 50, and the lower cover part 40 covers the lower side of the frame 50. The frame 50 may be formed of resin or the like.

[0020] [Speaker placement] As shown in FIG. 2, the operation device 10 has a speaker 2 that outputs sound. Audio data transmitted to the operation device 10 from an information processing device or the like is output by the speaker 2. In the example of the operation device 10, the speaker 2 is chip-shaped and has an upper surface (first surface) 2a facing upward (first direction) and a lower surface (second surface) 2b (see FIG. 3) facing downward (opposite to the first direction). The audio data is output from the upper surface 2a of the speaker 2 and output to the outside of the operation device 10 through a plurality of sound holes 31 formed in the upper cover part 30.

[0021] Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in Fig. 1. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the speaker 2 has a terminal portion P for electrically connecting to the circuit board 6. The terminal portion P is in contact with a terminal portion Q protruding upward from the upper surface 6a of the circuit board 6. The terminal portion P is disposed at a position avoiding the center of the speaker 2. In the example shown in Fig. 3, the terminal portion P is disposed at the left end portion of the speaker 2.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the operating device 10 has a wall 52 that defines at least a part of the accommodation chamber A, and the speaker 2 is disposed inside this accommodation chamber A. In the example of the operating device 10, the frame 50 is the accommodation member. That is, the frame 50 has the wall 52, and functions as the accommodation member that constitutes at least a part of the accommodation chamber A. When forming the wall 52 in an exterior member (such as the upper cover part 30) of the operating device 10, it is necessary to design the size and shape of the wall 52 so that no depressions are generated on the surface due to shrinkage of the material (such as resin) of the exterior member. In this regard, forming the wall 52 in the frame 50, which is a member different from the exterior member, is preferable. formation This allows the size and shape of the wall portion 52 to be designed without taking into consideration depressions that may occur on the surface of the exterior member, thereby improving the degree of freedom in the size and shape of the wall portion 52.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2, the wall portion 52 is formed in the center portion 51 of the frame 50, and has a box shape surrounding the speaker 2 in the front-rear and left-right directions. The speaker 2 fits into a box-shaped recess formed by the wall portion 52. As shown in Fig. 3, the width W2 of the speaker 2 in the left-right direction and the distance between the wall portion 52 are approximately the same, and as shown in Fig. 4, the width W4 of the speaker 2 in the front-rear direction and the distance between the wall portion 52 are also approximately the same. For this reason, the position of the speaker 2 inside the operation device 10 is determined by the wall portion 52.

[0024] 2 to 4, the wall portion 52 has a shape that rises upward from the plate-shaped central portion 51 of the frame 50, and an opening 53 is formed in the upper end portion 52a. The opening 53 is for emitting sound from the speaker 2, is located above the upper surface 2a of the speaker 2, and is connected to multiple sound holes 31 formed in the upper cover portion 30. The upper surface 2a of the speaker 2 from which sound comes out is exposed from the opening 53. The edge of the upper surface 2a of the speaker 2 contacts the edge 54 of the opening 53, and they are in close contact with each other.

[0025] The accommodation chamber A in which the speaker 2 is arranged is also called the back chamber, and is desirably a closed space with a fixed volume in order to suppress changes in the sound quality output from the speaker 2. In this regard, in the operation device 10, the elastic member 3 presses the speaker 2 against the edge 54 of the opening 53, so that the speaker 2 closes the opening 53 and closes the accommodation chamber A. This makes it possible to maintain the volume of the space (air) in the accommodation chamber A at a preset size, and makes it possible to suppress changes in the sound quality output from the speaker 2.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the operation device 10 has an elastic member 3 for supporting the lower surface 2b of the speaker 2. The elastic member 3 is columnar, with the upper surface in contact with the lower surface 2b of the speaker 2 and the lower surface in contact with a bottom member (for example, a circuit board 6 described later) that defines the bottom surface of the accommodation chamber A. In the example of the operation device 10, the elastic member 3 is a block made of an insulating material such as rubber or elastomer. This is not limited to this, and the elastic member 3 may be a metal spring. Furthermore, the number of elastic members 3 supporting the speaker 2 is not limited to one, and may be multiple. The elastic member 3 is disposed at a position that avoids the terminal portion P of the speaker 2 in the vertical direction (a position that does not overlap with the terminal portion P), and presses the speaker 2 against the edge 54 of the opening 53.

[0027] 3 and 4, the elastic member 3 is disposed in the center of the speaker 2. In other words, the elastic member 3 intersects with a center line cc passing through the center of the speaker 2. In the example shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the center line passing through the center of the elastic member 3 coincides with the center line cc of the speaker 2. Without being limited to this, the center line of the elastic member 3 may be shifted in a direction away from the terminal portion P with respect to the center line cc of the speaker 2 (for example, to the right in FIG. 3). In this way, the elastic member 3 supports the lower surface 2b of the speaker 2 at the center line cc of the speaker 2, thereby improving the stability of the support of the speaker 2.

[0028] 3 and 4, the width of the elastic member 3 in a direction (front-rear or left-right direction) perpendicular to the upper side (first direction) is smaller than the width of the speaker 2 in the perpendicular direction. In this way, the spatial capacity of the accommodation chamber A can be secured. As shown in FIG. 3, the width W1 of the elastic member 3 is smaller than the width W2 in the left-right direction of the speaker 2 (longitudinal direction of the speaker 2). More specifically, the width W1 of the elastic member 3 is smaller than half the width W2 in the left-right direction of the speaker 2. W1 is4, the width W3 of the elastic member 3 is smaller than the width W4 in the front-to-rear direction of the speaker 2 (short side direction of the speaker 2). The width W3 of the elastic member 3 is larger than half the width W4 in the front-to-rear direction of the speaker 2. The thickness H1 of the elastic member 3 in the up-to-down direction is larger than the thickness H2 of the speaker 2 in the up-to-down direction. Since the thickness H1 of the elastic member 3 in the up-to-down direction corresponds to the height of the accommodation chamber A, the spatial capacity of the accommodation chamber A can be secured by ensuring the thickness H1 of the elastic member 3.

[0029] In addition, it is desirable to set the ratio of the volume of the elastic member 3 to the capacity of the storage chamber A (when a plurality of elastic members 3 are provided, the total volume of the plurality of elastic members 3) to 5% or more and 25% or less. If the above ratio is set to less than 5%, it becomes difficult to ensure the strength of the elastic member 3 for supporting the speaker 2. In addition, if the above ratio is set to more than 25%, it becomes difficult to ensure the space capacity within the storage chamber A. For this reason, by setting the above ratio to an appropriate value, it is possible to ensure an appropriate space capacity within the storage chamber A for obtaining good sound quality from the speaker 2 while enabling the speaker 2 to be supported in the storage chamber A. In the example of the operation device 10, the ratio of the volume of the elastic member 3 to the capacity of the storage chamber A is set to 10% or more and 20% or less.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the height of the storage chamber A in the vertical direction is determined by the elastic member 3 Since the thickness H1 of the storage chamber A and the elastic member 3 are substantially rectangular parallelepiped, the ratio of the volume of the elastic member 3 to the capacity of the storage chamber A is substantially the same as the ratio of the area (bottom area) of the elastic member 3 to the area (bottom area) of the storage chamber A in the front-rear and left-right directions. Therefore, the ratio of the area of ​​the elastic member 3 to the area of ​​the storage chamber A in the front-rear and left-right directions may be set to 5% or more and 25% or less. In the example of the operation device 10, the ratio of the area of ​​the elastic member 3 to the area of ​​the storage chamber A is set to 10% or more and 20% or less.

[0031] Furthermore, the area of ​​the accommodation chamber A in the front-rear and left-right directions is approximately the same as the area of ​​the bottom surface 2b of the speaker 2. For this reason, the ratio of the area of ​​the bottom surface 2b of the speaker 2 to the area of ​​the contact portion between the speaker 2 and the elastic member 3 may be set to 5% or more and 25% or less. In the example of the operation device 10, the ratio of the area of ​​the bottom surface 2b of the speaker 2 to the area of ​​the contact portion Ratio of is set to between 10% and 20%.

[0032] [Circuit board placement] As shown in FIG. 2, the operation device 10 has a circuit board 6 electrically connected to the speaker 2. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the circuit board 6 defines the accommodation chamber A together with the wall portion 52. The circuit board 6 is disposed on the opposite side of the opening 53 across the speaker 2 and the elastic member 3, and functions as a bottom member defining the bottom surface of the accommodation chamber A. By using the circuit board 6 as the bottom member constituting the accommodation chamber A in this way, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed compared to a case where the bottom member is constituted by a member other than the circuit board 6. In addition, by doing so, the electrical connection structure between the speaker 2 and the circuit board 6 can be simplified. For example, by providing a terminal portion P on the lower surface 2b of the speaker 2 and extending a terminal portion Q upward from the circuit board 6, the electrical connection between the speaker 2 and the circuit board 6 can be easily performed.

[0033] In the example shown in FIG. 2, a part of the circuit board 6 defines the bottom surface of the accommodation chamber A, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the bottom surface of the accommodation chamber A may be defined by the entire circuit board 6. The bottom member defining the bottom surface of the accommodation chamber A is not limited to the circuit board 6, and may be another member disposed on the opposite side of the elastic member 3 from the speaker 2. The bottom member may be an exterior member (lower cover portion 40) of the operating device 10, or a battery case 7 (described later) disposed inside the lower cover portion 40. The accommodation chamber A may be formed by the frame 50. In this case, the bottom member may be integrally formed with the wall portion 52 as a part of the frame 50, or the accommodation chamber A may be formed by the frame 50 alone.

[0034] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the elastic member 3 is pressed by the upper surface 6a of the circuit board 6, which is the bottom member, to press the speaker 2 against the edge 54 of the opening 53. This makes it possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the upper surface 2a of the speaker 2 and the edge 54 of the opening 53, and improves the airtightness of the accommodation chamber A. As a result, it is possible to prevent a change in the sound quality output from the speaker 2. In addition, the circuit board 6, which is the bottom member, may be attached to a frame 50, which is a accommodation member having a wall portion 52, by screws or the like. In this way, it is possible to prevent a gap caused by tolerance from being generated between the circuit board 6 and the wall portion 52, and it is possible to prevent a change in the sound quality output from the speaker 2. In addition, by supporting the speaker 2 with the elastic member 3, the vibrator The influence of vibrations of the frame 50 caused by vibrations (eg, vibration motor 28 described later) or button operations can be reduced.

[0035] 3 and 4, a cushion member 9 may be disposed between the wall portion 52 and the circuit board 6, which is the bottom member of the accommodation chamber A. The cushion member 9 is formed of an insulating material such as rubber or elastomer, and closes the gap between the wall portion 52 and the circuit board 6. This can further improve the airtightness of the accommodation chamber A, and can more effectively suppress changes in sound quality output from the speaker 2, compared to a case in which the cushion member 9 is not provided.

[0036] 3 and 4, the operating device 10 has a battery case 7 for accommodating a battery (not shown). The battery case 7 is accommodated inside the lower cover part 40, and is located below the circuit board 6. In addition, a second elastic member 4 is disposed between the lower cover part 40 and the battery case 7. The second elastic member 4, like the elastic member 3, may be formed of an insulating material such as rubber or elastomer.

[0037] The second elastic member 4 is disposed on the opposite side of the speaker 2 across the circuit board 6, which is the bottom member of the accommodation chamber A, and presses the circuit board 6 against the wall portion 52. In the example shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the second elastic member 4 is disposed below the circuit board 6. In addition, the circuit board 6 and the second elastic member 4 and The battery case 7 is disposed between the battery case 7 and the upper end 7a of the battery case 7 is in contact with the lower surface 6b of the circuit board 6. The second elastic member 4 presses the lower end of the battery case 7 upward, so that the upper end 7a of the battery case 7 presses the circuit board 6. By pressing the circuit board 6 from below in the direction in which the wall portion 52 is located, the airtightness of the accommodation chamber A can be further improved. This makes it possible to more effectively suppress changes in the sound quality output from the speaker 2. Note that in the example of the operation device 10, the second elastic member 4 presses the battery case 7, but this is not limiting, and the second elastic member 4 may press any member (for example, the battery itself) disposed below the circuit board 6, or may directly press the circuit board 6 by contacting the circuit board 6.

[0038] [Microphone placement] 4, the operation device 10 has two microphones 8A and 8B. However, the operation device 10 may have only one of the two microphones 8A and 8B, or may have three or more microphones. Moreover, the operation device 10 may not have a microphone.

[0039] 4, both of the two microphones 8A, 8B face in a direction away from the speaker 2. This makes it difficult for the microphones 8A, 8B to pick up the sound output from the speaker 2. The first microphone 8A is disposed along the inner surface of the upper cover part 30, and faces in a rearward and upward diagonal direction toward where the sound hole 32 is formed in the upper cover part 30. Similarly, the second microphone 8B is disposed along the inner surface of the lower cover part 40, and faces in a rearward and downward diagonal direction toward where the sound hole 41 is formed in the lower cover part 40.

[0040] 4, the two microphones 8A, 8B are arranged at different distances from the mouth of the user holding the operating device 10. The first microphone 8A is arranged above the circuit board 6, and the second microphone 8B is arranged below the circuit board 6. In this way, the second microphone 8B is arranged on the opposite side of the circuit board 6 from the speaker 2, so that the sound output from the speaker 2 is less likely to be transmitted to the second microphone 8B.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, both of the two microphones 8A and 8B are supported by a member different from the frame 50 which is a housing member for the speaker 2. For example, the first microphone 8A may be supported by an exterior member (such as the upper cover part 30) of the operating device 10. The second microphone 8B may be supported by an exterior member (such as the lower cover part 40) of the operating device 10, or may be supported by the battery case 7. In this way, by supporting the microphones 8A and 8B by a member different from the frame 50 which houses the speaker 2, it is possible to suppress the vibrations generated when the speaker 2 outputs sound from being transmitted to the microphones 8A and 8B. In other words, it is possible to suppress the influence of the vibrations of the speaker 2 on the sounds acquired by the microphones 8A and 8B.

[0042] [Other configurations] As shown in Fig. 4, the operating device 10 has a switch 29 supported by a frame 50. The above-mentioned button 26 provided on the exterior member (upper cover part 30) presses the switch 29. The switch 29 is located above the frame 50 (in a first direction), and the elastic member 3 is located below the frame 50 (in a direction opposite to the first direction). In addition, other switches that are pressed by the input buttons 21, 23 and the directional key 22 shown in Fig. 1 may be provided on the frame 50.

[0043] Frame 50 vibrates when switch 29 is pressed by button 26, or when other switches are pressed by input buttons 21, 23 or directional key 22. As described above, elastic member 3 is disposed below speaker 2, and elastic member 3 presses speaker 2 against edge 54 of opening 53 formed in frame 50. For this reason, elastic member 3 can prevent speaker 2 from moving away from frame 50 due to vibration of frame 50.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, the operation device 10 has vibration motors 28 on the inside of the left and right held portions 10L and 10R. The vibration motors 28 are located in the grips 12, and vibrate the grips 12 by being driven in response to an instruction from an information processing device or the like. 8 is , a linear motor (e.g., a voice coil motor) or a rotary motor (e.g., a DC (direct current) In the example of the operation device 10, the number of vibration motors 28 is two, but the number of vibration motors 28 may be one, or three or more.

[0045] The vibration motor 28 is supported by the frame 50. As shown in FIG. 2, a recess 56 (motor housing) is formed behind the plate-shaped central portion 51 of the frame 50, and the vibration motor 28 is housed inside the recess 56. In the example of the operation device 10, two recesses 56 corresponding to the shapes of the left and right held portions 10L, 10R are arranged inside the two grips 11, respectively, and the two vibration motors 28 are housed in these two recesses 56. When the vibration motor 28 vibrates, the frame 50 also vibrates. Even if the frame 50 vibrates in this way, the elastic member 3 presses the speaker 2 against the edge 54 of the opening 53 formed in the frame 50, so that the speaker 2 can be prevented from being separated from the frame 50.

[0046] 4, in order to secure an area in the frame 50 for arranging the switch 29, the speaker 2 and the accommodation chamber A in which it is accommodated are shifted forward with respect to the sound hole 31 formed in the upper cover part 30. For this reason, the wall part 52 that defines the accommodation chamber A has an inclined part 52b that extends diagonally rearward and upward.

[0047] 3 and 4, the upper end 52a of the wall 52 is in contact with the inner surface of the upper cover 30. This prevents a gap from being generated between the opening 53 formed in the upper end 52a of the wall 52 and the multiple sound holes 31 formed in the upper cover 30, and prevents the sound output from the speaker 2 from being transmitted to internal components (e.g., microphones 8A and 8B) of the operating device 10. As described above, by providing the wall 52 with the inclined portion 52b extending obliquely rearward and upward, even when the switch 29 is provided on the frame 50, the upper end 52a of the wall 52 (the inclined portion 52b) can maintain contact with the inner surface of the upper cover 30.

[0048] As described above, the operation device 10 has the elastic member 3 that supports the lower surface 2b of the speaker 2 and presses the speaker 2 against the edge 54 of the opening 53. and It is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the edge 54 of the opening 53 and the accommodation chamber A, and it is possible to maintain the spatial volume of the accommodation chamber A at a preset size. As a result, it is possible to prevent a change in the sound quality output from the speaker 2.
