Abstract

Described are controllers for a first person computer game to make it more realistic. One controller resembles a rifle with a reloadable magazine 1B, grenade launcher and a zoomable scope 1L. Another controller resembles a hand gun which also has a reloadable magazine (2B, fig 2). Foot controls (figs 3 & 4) control movement in the game.

Description

First persons controller This invention is a way of controlling console and computer games with a first person view. I want to patent this inventions as an whole.
When you are playing a games there are two guns and two feet controls. Which work together do move a the person in a game around the game firing the two guns the simulate firing real guns. The two guns also can simulate a bow, swords, humans hands, throwing an ball and using a handle to hit a ball. The feet controls also can be used to simulate of kick a ball.
Using a connally keyboard and mouse or a joy-pad with controls games my inventions will get the user a more real feel that there in the games. As there action a put in to the game as the do them.
My invention gives the users the to user the two guns as the would in real life an move a around with your feet simulate real life as you move in the real life with your feet.
The hanlle at 1A and 1C could move around so the magazine is be hide the trigger.
This inventions will be now described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 show a rifle like gun controller.
Figure 2 show as a hand gun like controller.
Figure 3 show as a feet controller on a dice.
Figure 4 show as a feet controller with five buttons and moves up and down.
In figure 1 you see as rifle like gun controller, IA show a trigger which went pull it firers the gun inthegainesamesas lB. 1Cisamn8zineinwhichifrunoutroundinthegameitdropoutorif you push the button ID. IE if pull back and push forwards will reload a shotgun in the games or if : ... push forwards and and push the button iF will reloads a grenadier launcher, to reload a shotgun you **** push iF one shell an time. IG if move back a let goto let the 1G go forwards with reload a rifle as if push up move back and forwards then push down well as reload a rifle. IH a button if push well load a rifle round in the games (one each side). II scope link to game play looking through it let you see a game. 13 let you move the cross hairs left and right. 1K let move the cross hairs in the up and * down. 1J and 1K if move left or up anticlockwise and if move right and down clockwise. 1L button if push push the view from the scope on the screen. IM if move around the axis 45 degrees left and right let see around corners in the game if the gun the held out point left of right 45 degrees.
: * * iN buck use move back and forwards to fit users size. lo button if push simulate a round being put *. : in a magazine. 1 P if move up and down let you set which gun configuration in want to have if push * in set the gun you want and ifup and down again set the type of fire you want.
In figure 2 as see as hand like controller, 2A trigger which went pull it firers the gun in the game.
2B magazine in which if run out round in the game it dropout or if you push the button. 2C a slide if move back and let to go forwards by its self it reloads the gun. 2D button if push will drop the magazine. 2E load a round went push it. 2F if move up and down let you set which gun configuration in want to have if push in set the gun you want and if up and down again set the type of fire you want.2G the use of eight button a both sides of the handle simulate a gap of a human hand went push.
Figure 31$ an foot pedal on a dice went the dice is move anticlockwise in the game you move anticlockwise and if it move clockwise you move clockwise in the game. Your foot goes in the foot pad through move you foot the right way it Will move the head left and right and up and down. To move the head movement of the of game person to the head left and right. At point A and B through your feet movement make point B move right and the A move Left you will look left. To look right you make point A move right and point B left around the axis below the foot pad. To look down you make point A go down and point B go up. To look up you make point a go up and point B down.
Figure 410 go forwards in the game to push down on the foot pad, to go back in the pull back the foot pad. 4A B C D E are button which control movement. A move your height down like going to you knees. B let jump or get up in the game, C let move right in a line, D lets move left in line and E lets nish forwards. Other uses can see be set the these controls. *. * S * CSS S... * . S... S... * . S...
