In this example, the operation signal output from the input device 27 is sent to the game control device 130 via the communication unit 26. As described above, the communication unit 26 includes a transmission unit and a reception unit, and transmits an operation signal by infrared communication, for example.

  6 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of a ride input device 27 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of a ride input device 27 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are exploded perspective views showing an example of a portion of the input device 27. FIG. FIG. 9 is an exploded plan view showing an example of a portion of the ride input device 27 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The input device 27 includes a main body portion 271, a movable portion 272 having an operation portion 2721, and a head portion 273. The input device 27 of the present embodiment is formed with an appropriate size according to the size of the passenger's hand. The main body portion 271 includes a fixing plate 2711 provided on the back surface thereof, and the input device 27 is fixed to the base (not shown) of the restraining member 251 of the safety device 25 with a fastening member such as a screw. Thus, the safety device 25 is configured integrally. The main body 271 is made of, for example, a hard resin material, but is not limited thereto. The main body portion 271 accommodates the movable portion 272 in the space inside thereof, and is pivoted so that the movable portion 272 can be rotated in the transverse direction. A stopper 2712 is provided below the inside of the main body portion 271 (not explicitly shown in FIG. 8), and the stopper 2712 abuts on the back surface portion of the rotating movable portion 272 so that the movable portion 272 rotates. Define the range. An opening is formed on the front surface of the main body 271, and the operation part 2721 of the movable part 272 is exposed from the opening.

  The main body 271 also includes a rotation angle sensor 2713. The rotation angle sensor 2713 is a rotary encoder, for example, and outputs a signal according to the rotation angle of the shaft 272a of the movable portion 272. The rotation angle sensor 2713 has a resolution for detecting a rotation angle of, for example, 0.4 degrees, but is not limited thereto. A known rotation angle sensor 2713 can be selected as appropriate.

  The movable portion 272 has a shaft 272a extending in the vertical direction, and is configured to rotate within a predetermined range about the shaft 272a. The rotation range of the movable portion 272 is defined by a stopper 2712 provided in the lower portion inside the main body portion 271. As an example of the rotation range, for example, it is about ± 30 degrees to the left and right from the neutral position. The rotation angle of the shaft 272a of the movable portion 272 is calculated based on a signal output from the rotation angle sensor 2713 provided in the main body portion 271. The movable part 272 is also made of, for example, a hard resin material, but is not limited thereto.

  The movable portion 272 also includes an operation portion 2721 configured to be exposed from the opening of the main body portion 271. The operation unit 2721 includes, for example, a switch 2722 that is operated by a finger of a passenger's hand. For example, a commercially available push button switch can be used as the switch 2722. The operation unit 2721 may also include a protrusion 2723 formed to receive a finger of a passenger's hand that rotates the movable unit 272 in the transverse direction. Therefore, the passenger can easily rotate the movable portion 272 in the transverse direction by pressing the projection 2723. For example, the protrusion 2723 is disposed below the switch 2722, but is not limited thereto.

  The head portion 273 is provided on the upper portion of the main body portion 271. In this example, the input device 27 is provided so as to extend forward from the main body portion 271 so that the appearance of the input device 27 simulates the shape of a gun. However, the head portion 273 has a length that extends forward so that the head portion 273 does not break when the passenger strongly grips it. The head unit 273 accommodates, for example, the processing circuit 1000 that controls the processing in the input device 27 and the speaker 2732, although these are not shown (see FIG. 10). For example, the processing circuit 1000 amplifies a signal output from the rotation angle sensor 2713, generates a sound effect signal in response to an operation of the switch 2722, and outputs the sound effect signal to the speaker 2732. The head portion 273 is provided with a sound omission slit 2731 so that a sound effect reproduced from the speaker 2732 is transmitted to the outside of the input device 27, for example. A protective member 2733 made of an elastic material is provided on the upper portion of the head portion 273. The protective member 2733 plays a role of buffering an impact even if the passenger's head is greatly shaken by the intense movement of the ride 20 and the passenger's head contacts the input device 27 by any chance. In this example, the main body portion 271 and the head portion 273 are configured separately. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various constituent elements accommodated in the head portion 273 in this example are accommodated in the main body portion 271. You may comprise.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of a ride input device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The functional configuration of the input device 27 of this embodiment is realized under the control of the processing circuit 1000. The processing circuit 1000 includes, for example, a rotation angle calculation unit 1010, an operation detection unit 1020, a sound effect generation unit 1030, and an operation signal output unit 1040.

  The rotation angle calculation unit 1010 receives a signal according to the rotation angle (rotation amount) of the shaft 271a of the movable unit 272 sent from the rotation angle sensor 2713, and calculates the rotation angle at which the movable unit 272 is operated. For example, the rotation angle calculation unit 1010 calculates the rotation angle of the movable unit 272 by counting the encode signal sent from the rotation angle sensor 2713 with reference to the neutral position of the shaft 271a. The rotation angle calculation unit 1010 outputs an operation signal based on the calculated rotation angle to the operation signal output unit 1040.

  The operation detection unit 1020 is configured to include a switch 2722 in the circuit. When the switch 2722 is operated, the operation detection unit 1020 detects the operation and outputs an operation signal to the sound effect generation unit 1030 and the operation signal output unit 1040. When the switch 2722 is operated, the operation detection unit 1020 may be configured to output one pulse-like operation signal regardless of the operated time, or the ON level according to the operated time. An operation signal having a length of 1 mm may be output. Alternatively, a plurality of pulsed operation signals may be output according to the operated time.

  The sound effect generation unit 1030 generates an audio signal corresponding to the sound effect reproduced from the speaker 2732 based on the operation signal sent from the operation detection unit 1020. For example, if the game provided in the ride attraction is a shooting game, an audio signal corresponding to a gun firing sound is generated. The sound effect generator 1030 outputs the generated audio signal to the speaker 2732, and the speaker 2732 reproduces the sound effect according to the audio signal sent.

  The operation signal output unit 1040 converts the operation signal sent from the rotation angle calculation unit 1010 and / or the operation detection unit 1020 into a format suitable for the communication unit 26, and then outputs this to the communication unit 26. The communication unit 26 transmits the operation signal received from the operation signal output unit 1040 using the transmission unit.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schematic system configuration for realizing a game provided in a ride attraction according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  In the ride attraction of the present embodiment, a game is provided to passengers of the ride 20 in the game section G provided in a part of the course 10 (see FIG. 1). In the game section G, a screen 110 for displaying a game image is provided so as to face the passenger of the ride 20. In the present embodiment, the moving screen mechanism 100 provided in the game section G is configured so that the screen 110 moves in the same direction as the ride 20 travels while facing the ride 20 traveling on the track 11. .

  The moving screen mechanism 100 includes, for example, a moving unit 120 that travels on another track provided along the track 11. The screen 110 is attached to the moving unit 120 and is transported to the moving unit 120 that moves in the same direction as the traveling direction of the ride 20 and moves while maintaining a predetermined distance from the ride 20. The mobile unit 120 is also equipped with a game control device 130 and a projector 140.

  The game control device 130 comprehensively controls the execution of the game provided to the ride 20 passengers in the ride attraction. That is, the game control device 130 is configured to include a processor (not shown), and controls the execution of the game according to the game program under the control of the processor to generate a game video, and the video signal based on this is generated by the projector. Output to 140. For example, when the game control device 130 is notified that the ride 20 has reached the game start position on the track 11 in the game section G, the game control device 130 starts executing the game. More specifically, a sensor that detects the position of the ride 20 along the trajectory 11 is provided, and the game control device 130 receives the detection signal from the sensor and starts executing the game.

  As described above, the ride 20 includes the input device 27 attached to the safety device 25 and the communication unit (transmission unit) 26 that transmits an operation signal transmitted from the input device 27. The operation signal transmitted from the communication unit 26 is received by the receiving unit 1111 provided on the front surface of the screen 110 and sent to the game control device 130. Thereby, the passenger of the ride 20 can enjoy the game by operating the input device 27 with respect to the game image displayed on the screen 110.

  When the game control device 130 finishes executing the game, the game control device 130 sends the game result to, for example, a game management device (not shown). The game management device collects the results (for example, earned points) of the games executed by the game control device 130 within the game section G and totals them to determine the ranking. The results of the game are collected, for example, for each ride 20 or for each passenger of the ride 20, and the rankings are tabulated.

  The content of the game provided by the game control device 130 is appropriately selected according to the theme of ride attraction. For example, it is assumed that the game of this embodiment is a shooting game in which a plurality of passengers on the ride 20 cooperate to attack an enemy. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game image displayed on the screen in the ride attraction according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, a screen 1211 (game screen) based on a game image on the screen 110 has an enemy character 1212 whose behavior is controlled by the game control device 130 and an aim operated by a passenger via the input device 27. 1213 is displayed. In the figure, each of four sights 1213 corresponds to the sight operated by each passenger. Further, according to the turning operation of the movable portion 272 of the input device 27, each aim 1213 moves only in the left-right direction. Therefore, in order to correspond to the enemy character 1212 moving on the entire game screen 1211, the passenger on the front seat 23a is responsible for the operation of the aim 1213 moving on the lower half area of the game screen 1211 and is higher than the front seat 23a. The game program is configured so that the passenger in the rear seat 23b at the position is responsible for the operation of the aim 1213 that moves in the upper half area of the game screen 1211.

  During the game, the passenger moves the movable portion 272 of the input device 27 to the left and right so that the aim 1213 is in alignment with the enemy character 1212 in the game image displayed on the screen 110, and switches the switch 2722 at the timing when the aim 1213 is in alignment. Press. The game control device 130 determines whether or not a bullet hits the enemy character 1212 based on the display timing of the game video, the operation signal from the input device 27 and the timing. When the game control device 130 determines that a bullet has hit the enemy character 1212, for example, the game control device 130 adds acquisition points.
