Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH08500747
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention is a remote control targeting and control system for use with a standard raster scanned television and an associated gaming unit. The remote control system includes a mobile transceiver and a fixed transceiver which communicates with the gaming system. The system implements a simple communication system which allows the mobile transceiver to ordinarily transmit position data and to periodically transmit button press data. The mobile transceiver includes an electro-optic detector for observing when a scan line crosses a target area. Each time a scan line is detected, the mobile transceiver transmits a pulse to the fixed unit, based upon which the gaming unit translate the pulse into position data based on the time of its detection. The button press data is transmitted synchronously with the raster scanned television in that the fixed transceiver is caused to transmit a single pulse during each vertical retrace of the television. The preferred remote control system is contained in a gun-shaped main unit of a multipiece housing. A stalk and a sighting system having viewing tubes may be optionally attached to the main unit. The sighting system is comprised of a pair of viewing tubes and a rotatable sighting tube which may be place in front of either sighting tube.
