Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current PC-based game systems lack the ability to provide tactile experiences, making it difficult for players to immerse themselves fully in the game.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating vibrators into the display device and operation device, such as a mouse or keyboard, with the computer sending vibration signals in specific game scenarios like explosions, hits, or impacts to generate vibrations, enhancing the tactile experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a PC-based game system uses standard devices (display, mouse, keyboard), then the system is simple and widely accepted, but it cannot provide tactile experience or vibration feedback to the player
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple devices (display device and operation device) into a unified game system where vibrators are integrated across different components. The computer coordinates vibration signals across multiple devices to provide comprehensive tactile feedback, merging their functions into a cohesive immersive experience system.
Solution Approach 2:
The vibrator component is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a vibration source and as part of the overall game interaction system. The same vibrator structure can be applied across different devices (display device, mouse, keyboard), providing universal tactile feedback capability throughout the system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vibrators are added to provide vibration feedback, then tactile experience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies vibration capability selectively to specific locations within devices where it provides maximum benefit. Vibrators are integrated at strategic positions in the display device and operation device to create localized tactile feedback zones that enhance gaming experience without requiring complete system overhaul.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical feedback systems with electronic vibration control. By using electronically controlled vibrators driven by software-generated signals, the system achieves sophisticated tactile feedback without the mechanical complexity of traditional force feedback mechanisms.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The game system effectively presents vibration sensing and tactile feedback, allowing players to feel more immersed in the game, thereby enhancing their overall gaming experience.
Implementation Method 1
the computer is further configured to send a vibration signal to the display device and/or the operation device according to game information, so as to drive the vibrator to generate vibration
Data Source
AI summary
A game system is disclosed. The game system includes a computer, a display device and an operation device. The computer is configured to run a game, the display device is configured to display a game image, and the operation device is configured to input an operation command into the computer. A vibrator is provided in the display device and/or the operation device. The computer is further configured to send a vibration signal to the display device and/or the operation device according to game information, so as to drive the vibrator to generate vibration. According to the above game system, the display device and the operation device such as mouse or keyboard may generate vibration by means of the vibrator, according to game information, present vibration sensing and tactile for a player, thereby enabling the player to be more personally on the scene in the game.
