Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/107459
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A control device (10) for a game console, comprising a housing (11), an electronic control element arranged in the housing (11), input elements (15, 16, 17) arranged on the housing (11) and connected to the control element, and a data-transmission unit for transmitting control data to the game console, is to be further developed such that it can be used for a flexible application with a real musical instrument in order to convert the latter into an operating tool for a game console. Preferably, the control device (10) is also intended to still allow other usage options, in particular a conventional use for controlling the game console via buttons and switches. For this purpose, the housing (11) has a sensor section (14) in which input elements in the form of sensor fields (15) are arranged in a number corresponding to the number of strings (3) of a lute instrument and at a spacing corresponding to the spacing between the strings (3) of the lute instrument, the game control device (10) being configured such that it can be arranged with the sensor section (14) below the strings (3) of the lute instrument such that each sensor field (15) lies below a string (3) associated with said sensor field (15) without touching said string, and the sensor fields (15) being configured to detect a spacing between the respective associated string (3) and the sensor field (15).
