Game System with Physical Data Processing Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional games limit immersion and entertainment by relying solely on video and voice output, lacking integration with physical objects or environments to enhance the gaming experience.
Innovation Solution
A game system that includes a game device and a data processing apparatus, where the game device controls a signal to the data processing apparatus based on game progression, enabling it to perform actions such as voice output, light emission, and vibration to create an immersive experience, with the data processing apparatus being a physical object that interacts with the player in the game world.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional games use only video and voice output, then the game system remains simple, but player immersion and entertainment are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds a data processing apparatus (such as a figure or doll) within the game system architecture. This nested apparatus contains internal components (light sources, speakers, vibration motors) that are controlled by the game device, allowing the figure to physically manifest game events and enhance immersion without requiring complete system redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The data processing apparatus acts as an intermediary between the virtual game world and the physical environment. It receives signals from the game device and translates them into physical outputs (light, sound, vibration), serving as a bridge that enhances immersion without directly modifying the core game engine
2Adaptability or versatility
If data recording medium or portable game device is integrated, then character or mini-game functionality is added, but overall immersion and entertainment are not significantly increased
Solution Approach 1:
The data processing apparatus is designed with multiple output capabilities (light emission, voice output, vibration) that can be independently controlled. This multi-functionality allows a single device to provide diverse entertainment effects corresponding to different game situations, maximizing entertainment value without requiring multiple separate devices
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus dynamically adjusts its output based on real-time game progression. The control unit receives progression information from the game device and modifies light intensity, voice volume, and vibration frequency accordingly, creating an adaptive entertainment experience that responds to game events
