- The present invention relates to an interactive wireless game apparatus and a wireless peripheral module and, more particularly, to an interactive user-friendly game apparatus with an improved baud rate.
- Electrical game apparatuses currently provide three-dimensional animation scenes with brilliant images and realistic sound effects. Therefore, players enjoy interactive and real time amusement through their immediate instructions detected by wireless peripheral modules. That is, the players can handle joysticks and buttons to control specified objects shown in images. Moreover, they give full play to their handling ability as the story of the game changes.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventionalelectrical game apparatus 10. Thegame apparatus 10 includes agame host 12 retrieving and running a game program and a gameperipheral apparatus 13 detecting instructions from a player. Thegame host 12 outputs video signals for executing the game program to atelevision 11 through avideo cable 14. Thetelevision 11 displays the images of the game program, and anamplifier 111 simultaneously emits sounds accompanying the images. Furthermore, the gameperipheral apparatus 13 immediately sends the analog signals of the instructions to thegame host 12 through asignal transmission line 15. However, thesignal transmission line 15 not only has a volume, but also limits the distance from the player to the gameperipheral apparatus 13 due to its length.- As shown in
FIG. 2 , aninfrared ray receiver 121 and aninfrared ray emitter 131 can serve as a communication means between agame host 12′ and a gameperipheral apparatus 13′. However, the receiving angle of thereceiver 121 for infrared rays is limited to around 30-120 degrees, and the infrared rays are likely to be obstructed by a blocker such as a desk lamp or a decoration so that the wireless transmission is unpleasantly stopped. Furthermore, the transmission rate (115.2-Kbps-16 Mbps) and the maximum transmission length (1-5 meters) of the infrared rays are also rather restricted; hence the manipulation for the game is seriously affected by aforesaid limitations. - Most of current interactive wireless game apparatuses utilize non-contact pointers to enhance the manipulation of specified objects or characters shown in the images of the game. The pointers direct the motion of objects or characters through infrared rays. Accordingly, a game peripheral apparatus equipped with a motion tracking sensor is placed near a monitor displaying the images. When the player waves the pointer, the game peripheral apparatus can capture a plurality of images per second. That is, the motion tracking sensor senses sequential spots of the moving infrared ray. Therefore, the game peripheral apparatus compares the coordinates of the spots in each of the images with each other to instruct the game host to change the position of the cursor or the object that displays on the screen of the television. Such a conventional game peripheral apparatus and game host cannot achieve the communication of considerable data between them. That is, the transmission of the infrared ray practically cannot satisfy the requirement of the very high baud rate. Moreover, the manipulation challenges this game peripheral apparatus.
- As a result, the conventional game peripheral apparatus and game host cannot meet the requirement of the player for handy control. Furthermore, the transmission rate of the instructions is slow so that the continuous instructions of movement cannot be immediately and speedily transmitted. Therefore, the manipulation and application of conventional game apparatuses have difficulty keeping pace with the improvement of video games.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide an interactive wireless game apparatus comprising a game host and at least one game peripheral apparatus. Communication between the game host and the game peripheral apparatus is carried out with wireless signals that comply with Ultra WideBand (UWB) protocol.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an interactive wireless game apparatus comprising a game host equipped with a wireless USB (Universal Series Bus) interface module. The wireless USB interface module can be internally embedded in or externally connected to the game host, and is compatible with the protocol of IEEE 802.15.3 and USB. The game host communicates with at least one wireless peripheral apparatus by wireless signals.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an interactive wireless game apparatus and a wireless peripheral module for a player to control the progress of a game remotely. The game apparatus comprises a game host and a game peripheral apparatus. The game host includes a multimedia processing module and a wireless USB interface module, wherein the multimedia processing module can execute a game program and communicate with the wireless USB interface module by wireless signals complying with the UWB protocol. The game peripheral apparatus detects motion signals from the player through an image sensor, and utilizes a data processing unit to digitally process the motion signals detected by the image sensor. Finally, the processed motion signals are converted into signals complying with the UWB protocol for outputting to the exterior.
- The wireless USB interface module is internally embedded in or externally connected to the game host, and is compatible with the protocol of IEEE 802.15.3 and USB.
- The invention will be described according to the appended drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an illustration of a conventional electrical game apparatus.FIG. 2 is a perspective view of another illustration of a conventional electrical game apparatus.FIG. 3 is a graph illustration of the relationship between working frequency and power for a UWB system in accordance with the present invention.FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a diagram of an interactive wireless game apparatus in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a diagram of an interactive wireless game apparatus in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention.- A UWB system uses a frequency band with an extreme wide bandwidth for wireless communication through pulse signal transmission technology. Instead of continuous sine waves, such a system speedily generates pulse signals through a time modulation method so that a very high data flow rate is carried on the extreme wide band.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , aUWB system 32 has the ratio of its bandwidth to its central frequency larger than 25%. The American Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved regulations releasing a band between 3.1-10.6 GHz for the free use of the UWB system. For example, the central frequency of UWB signals is at 4 GHz, and its corresponding bandwidth is larger than 1 GHz. Because each of the pulse signals has a very short period in a time domain, a very wide bandwidth occurs on a frequency domain. Excluding the pulse signals spread in a single band, they can also be spread in a plurality of bands through a multi-band processing. That is, the whole bandwidth of the UWB is divided into a plurality of narrow bands so that the narrow bands are simultaneously distributed on the spectrum of the UWB system. - Shannon proposes that the maximal channel capacity formula is in the form of:
Transmission Rate=Utilized Bandwidth×log2(S/N);- where S is signal power and N is noise power.
- The transmission rate is linearly increased depending on the increase of the utilized bandwidth. Therefore, the UWB system has a very high transmission rate of 480 Mbps. It is superior to the transmission rate of an infrared communication or Bluetooth communication with a narrow band (721 kbps-1 Mbps).
