play controller for controlling a computer game.
Technical area the invention concerns equipment for the controlling computers - of a play with the help of a bicycle on a Fahrradrolle.
State of the art so far bicycle role coaches are used only as Trainingsgeräte. Only the footstep movement (muscle power) is used. The steering movement does not become thereby genutzt.
There is also bicycle role coaches well-known, who remove the steering movement. These implement however no Spielekontroller.
Representation of the invention this invention concerns a play controller for computer, which uses a bicycle as input device. The bicycle must in addition installed on a bicycle role sein.
By means of sensors the speed and the steering movement are removed and evaluated from this bicycle. The determined data are sent over a USB interface to a computer. The invention is recognized automatically by the computer as a play controller. So plays, can be steered and played in particular running plays, with the invention on the computer. Thus home training on bicycle is extended by the factors play and fun. Because a user with its bicycle can steer the speed and the steering of a play, training becomes more interesting and makes more fun. Thus the training effect becomes gefördert.
Enumerating the designs on the basis the enclosed schematic designs becomes the invention for example erläutert.
Fig. 1 shows a lateral representation of the invention. To the invention belong a speed sensor (1) at the rear wheel and a magnet (2) at the rear wheel. The speed sensor is with a cable (3) or a radio transmission with the micro controller unit (6) verbunden.
A lathe fixture (5) under the front wheel it ensures for the fact that the driver can steer. The lathe fixture is on a plate (4) installed. Likewise on this plate the center is arithmetic and logic unit micro controller unit (6).
Fig. a lateral representation of the plate under the front wheel shows 2. On a motherboard (3) is a rotation device (2) installed, on which a mounting plate for a bicycle wheel (1) is fastened. Over a magnet (5) the steering movement becomes transferred to the micro CONTROLLER unit (6). The micro CONTROLLER unit consists of a magnetic field sensor, a connection for the speed sensor, a micro CONTROLLER and a USB connection (7) for the connection to the Computer.
The micro CONTROLLER unit (6) the steering movement of the mounting plate for the bicycle (1) also optically with a resounding sensor can erfassen.
Execution of the invention this invention presupposes a bicycle, as well as a bicycle role. The invention consists of several parts and to the bicycle is fastened. At the rear wheel a speed sensor is attached. The front wheel is put on a lathe fixture, which is installed on a plate. The micro controller unit, likewise on this plate, measures the steering movement and sends the data at a Computer.
The current speed is determined by the solenoid. With each wheel revolution passes a magnet at the wheel the solenoid and releases an electrical impulse. With the time between two impulses the current speed can be computed. The solenoid is connected with a cable or by radio transmission with the micro CONTROLLER unit. If the bicycle brake was operated, the temporal distance of two impulses clearly more largely, thus can a brake movement determined werden.
The front wheel rests upon a device, which can be swivelled to the left and right. Like that it is guaranteed that the driver can steer as on the road. Likewise on the swivelling device a magnet is fastened. This rotation device is on a firm plate montiert.
On the plate, foremost lathe fixture, is fastened the micro CONTROLLER unit. On this micro controller unit a magnet sensor is attached. This sensor measures the magnetic field strength of the magnet of which on the lathe fixture is attached. So the position of the steering element can be computed. The position of the steering element can also optically or with resounding sensor by the micro controller unit computed werden.
Likewise on the micro controller unit the microprocessor, the connection for the solenoid and the USB is connection for the computer angebracht.
CH699849A1 of the micro CONTROLLERs implements a USB - HID equipment. Thus this device can be recognized automatically of a computer as a play controller (Joystick). Thus a Y axle knows (acceleration/brakes) on a computer and an X axle (left/right) for the controlling of various computer games, preferably author plays, to be used. Thus home training on a bicycle role coach is extended by the factors play and fun. The game controller is designed in such a manner to allow a bicycle to be used on a bicycle roller as an input unit. Positive and negative speeds and steering movements of a computer game i.e. auto-racing game, are transmitted to a computer universal serial bus (USB)interface. The speeds are detected by a speed sensor (1). A magnetic switch is used for decreasing the speeds. A magnetic field sensor, an optical sensor or a hall sensor is used for decreasing the steering movements. The controller is connected to the computer via a USBcable (5). 1. Play controller for the controlling of a computer game, by the fact characterized that as input unit a bicycle on a bicycle role is used. 2. Play controller in accordance with requirement 1, by the fact characterized that the speed (positive and negative) as well as the steering movement will operate on the computer can. 3. Play controller in accordance with requirement 1, by the fact characterized that for the speed decrease a solenoid is used 4. Play controller in accordance with requirement 1, by the fact characterized that for the decrease of the steering movement a magnetic field, a Optischeroder resounding sensor are used 5. Play controller in accordance with requirement 1, by it characterized, he by a USB cable is connected with a computer, and a Joystick emulates.
