Game Machine Wireless Controller Connection Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems for game machines and controllers require dedicated transmitting/receiving devices for each user, making it cumbersome to connect multiple wireless controllers simultaneously, as they often lack efficient identification and filtering mechanisms to exclude non-compliant devices.
Innovation Solution
A communication device and game machine system that registers identification information of non-compliant slaves and filters out non-compliant devices, allowing only compliant controllers to connect, thereby reducing connection establishment time and eliminating the need for dedicated devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the game machine uses dedicated transmitting/receiving devices for each wireless controller, then connection reliability is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The game machine is equipped with a single wireless communication device that can universally connect to multiple different controllers. The controller identification information storage unit stores identification information of multiple controllers, and the wireless communication device can selectively establish connections with any of them, eliminating the need for dedicated transmitting/receiving devices for each controller while maintaining connection reliability.
2Reliability
If the game machine performs connection queries for all detected terminal equipment, then connection reliability is improved, but connection establishment time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller identification information is stored in advance in the storage unit during a preliminary registration process. When a connection is needed, the game machine directly uses the pre-stored identification information to quickly establish connection without performing time-consuming connection queries for all detected terminal equipment, thus reducing connection establishment time while maintaining reliability through the pre-validated identification information.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts only the necessary identification information of controllers from the complex connection establishment process. Instead of querying all terminal equipment details, the system selectively uses only the stored controller identification information for connection establishment, streamlining the process and reducing time while maintaining connection reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the game machine connects with all detected terminal equipment, then adaptability is improved, but connection establishment time and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and stores only the identification information of valid controllers in the storage unit, separating them from other terminal equipment. The wireless communication device then selectively connects only to equipment matching the stored identification information, providing adaptability to work with different controllers while avoiding time-consuming connections with all detected terminal equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary registration of controller identification information in advance. This pre-action enables the game machine to quickly establish connections with compatible controllers by directly using the pre-stored identification information, rather than attempting to connect with all detected terminal equipment, thus reducing connection establishment time while maintaining adaptability.
4Measurement precision
If the game machine performs comprehensive connection queries, then measurement precision is improved, but power consumption and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The controller identification information is registered and stored in advance during a preliminary setup phase. When connection is needed, the game machine directly uses the pre-stored accurate identification information without performing comprehensive real-time connection queries, thereby maintaining measurement precision for device identification while significantly reducing power consumption and connection time.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts only the essential identification information of controllers for storage and connection purposes. This selective approach maintains accurate device identification by focusing on relevant controller identifiers while avoiding the power-consuming process of comprehensively querying and analyzing all terminal equipment characteristics.

AI summary
A game machine which can be connected with a plurality of wireless controllers is proposed. A game machine according to the present invention holds identification information of wireless terminal equipment in the periphery as a list. The list may be a blacklist specifying equipment not to be connected or, on the contrary, may be a call candidate list specifying equipment to be connected. By using such a list, the establishment of connection with a plurality of wireless controllers can be realized within a short period of time.
