  • Patent number: 10046233
    Abstract: A game machine controller includes: an exterior portion formed in the shape of a gun; a trigger which is formed in the form of a part protruding from the exterior portion; a signal output device which outputs a shooting input signal in response to the operation of the trigger by a player; a transmission interface which transmits the shooting input signal output from the signal output device; and a direction sensor which is provided within the exterior portion, and which detects the direction of the exterior portion. The signal output device transmits a direction detection signal to the mobile game machine via the transmission interface based upon the direction detected by the direction sensor, which allows a CPU to create game image data used for instructing a display monitor to display a new game image.

  • Publication number: 20070092118
    Abstract: An input device comprises a touch panel, a memory and a CPU. The touch panel reads one or more fingerprints. The memory stores a plurality of fingerprints which are previously read by touch panel. The stored fingerprints are related to one or more processes. The CPU compares the one or more fingerprints read by the touch panel with any of the fingerprints stored in the memory. The CPU generates the one or more input singal when determining that the one or more fingerprints read by the touch panel are identical to any of the fingerprints stored in the memory. The one or more input signal causes a gaming machine to execute the one or more processes associated with the one or more fingerprints which are read by the touch panel, in a case where the read one or more fingerprints are identical to any of fingerprints previously stored in the memory.
