Description

PERFECCIONAMIENTOS EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE VIDEO-JUEGOS PERFECTION IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIDEO GAMES
El objeto de la presente invención se refiere a unas mejoras introducidas en la construcción de video-juegos de los del tipo que simulan las reacciones de un cuerpo según las acciones de golpeo que recibe.The object of the present invention relates to improvements introduced in the construction of video games of those of the type that simulate the reactions of a body according to the striking actions it receives.
La misma peticionaria ya introdujo perfeccionamientos a este tipo de video-juegos en su Patente Española N° 9900669 que consisten en que al cuerpo a golpear situado encima del campo de juego se le vincula un elemento eréctil con su extremo superior en voladizo, acodado en ángulo recto, y en el que su punta está insertada en el interior del cuerpo real que recibe el impacto. En el interior de dicho extremo acodado se dispone un módulo portador de un transductor desplazable que detecta las reacciones de los impactos y los traduce en señales analógico/digitales que se envian a la CPU de la máquina de video-juego.The same petitioner has already introduced improvements to this type of videogames in her Spanish Patent No. 9900669, which consists in the fact that the erectile element is linked to the upper body with its upper end in cantilever, angled angled straight, and in which its tip is inserted inside the real body that receives the impact. Inside said angled end there is a carrier module of a movable transducer that detects the impact reactions and translates them into analog / digital signals that are sent to the CPU of the video game machine.
El problema que se ha detectado en este tipo de desarrollo es que durante su funcionamiento se genera un ruido constante y molesto. Dicho ruido está ocasionado por la intervención de un elemento elástico como base de la recuperación de la posición de equilibrio del elemento golpeado.The problem that has been detected in this type of development is that during its operation a constant and annoying noise is generated. Said noise is caused by the intervention of an elastic element as a basis for the recovery of the equilibrium position of the hit element.
Otro problema es que las vibraciones propias del elemento elástico ocasiona movimientos adicionales que se suman a los originados por el golpeo, con la consiguiente distorsión. Para paliar estos problemas se han introducido las mejoras de la presente invención.Another problem is that the vibrations of the elastic element causes additional movements that add to those caused by the beating, with the consequent distortion. To alleviate these problems the improvements of the present invention have been introduced.
Para una mejor interpretación se describe un caso de realización práctica de las mismas, a titulo de ejemplo no limitativo, acompañándose de una hoja de dibujos en la que en la Figura 1 se representa una sección de una máquina construida según estas mejoras, con la representación esquemática de sus partes.For a better interpretation a case of practical realization of the same is described, by way of non-limiting example, accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which in Figure 1 a section of a machine constructed according to these improvements is represented, with the representation Schematic of its parts.
Consiste la invención en unas mejoras introducidas en la construcción de vídeo-juegos de los del tipo que simulan las reacciones de un cuerpo según las acciones de golpeo que recibe, consistente en una varilla (1) pendiente de un cajetín (2) en el que se encuentra convenientemente alojado un medio de giro (3) de hasta tres grados de libertad, tal como una rótula, en el que se ensarta dicha varilla, de tal forma que ésta, por efecto de la gravedad, tiene un movimiento oscilatorio pendular.The invention consists of improvements introduced in the construction of video games of those of the type that simulate the reactions of a body according to the striking actions it receives, consisting of a rod (1) pending from a box (2) in which a turning means (3) of up to three degrees of freedom is conveniently housed, such as a kneecap, in which said rod is skewered, so that it, due to gravity, has a pendular oscillatory movement.
El otro extremo de la varilla (1) se acoda (4) y en su final se ajusta el cuerpo a golpear (5), como por ejemplo la imitación de un balón de fútbol.The other end of the rod (1) is layered (4) and at its end the body to be hit (5) is adjusted, such as the imitation of a soccer ball.
Este conjunto está adosado a una superficie soporte (6) de la que pende suspendido.This set is attached to a support surface (6) from which it hangs suspended.
Cuando el jugador golpea el cuerpo (5), la energía de su golpe es transmitida a la varilla (1) que por dicho efecto tiende a oscilar. Gracias al efecto de la gravedad, tras unos períodos de oscilación, la varilla (1) recuperará su posición de equilibrio, preparada para recibir otro impacto.When the player hits the body (5), the energy of his blow is transmitted to the rod (1) which by that effect tends to oscillate. Thanks to the effect of gravity, after a few periods of oscillation, the rod (1) will recover its equilibrium position, ready to receive another impact.
Este dispositivo está provisto de transductores (7) y (8) que miden la fuerza, la aceleración y dirección que posee el golpe del jugador. Dicha información es transmitida analógica o digitalmente a la CPU, no mostrada, que rige el desarrollo del vídeo-juego y que es la responsable de representar la acción del jugador como una secuencia de juego en la pantalla correspondiente.This device is provided with transducers (7) and (8) that measure the force, acceleration and direction of the player's stroke. This information is transmitted analogically or digitally to the CPU, not shown, which governs the development of the video game and is responsible for representing the player's action as a game sequence on the corresponding screen.
En una construcción preferente de la invención se sitúa en la base pendular medios para la absorción de energía (9), tal como un amortiguador, que frena la oscilación de la varilla (1) después del golpe, con lo cual se consigue que la varilla (1) retorne a su posición de equilibrio de forma mucho más rápida y con menores oscilaciones.In a preferred construction of the invention, means for absorbing energy (9), such as a shock absorber, are placed on the pendular base, which slows the oscillation of the rod (1) after the blow, whereby the rod is achieved (1) return to its equilibrium position much faster and with smaller oscillations.
Adicionalmente, si así se considera conveniente, en el extremo superior de la varilla se dispone un elemento elástico (10), tal como un muelle, cuya función es absorber inicialmente la energía del impacto y acortar tiempo de recuperación de la posición de equilibrio por parte de la varilla (1) . Additionally, if deemed convenient, an elastic element (10), such as a spring, is disposed at the upper end of the rod, whose function is to initially absorb the impact energy and shorten recovery time from the equilibrium position by of the rod (1).
