Abstract

A game system is disclosed. The game system includes a computer, a display device and an operation device. The computer is configured to run a game, the display device is configured to display a game image, and the operation device is configured to input an operation command into the computer. A vibrator is provided in the display device and/or the operation device. The computer is further configured to send a vibration signal to the display device and/or the operation device according to game information, so as to drive the vibrator to generate vibration. According to the above game system, the display device and the operation device such as mouse or keyboard may generate vibration by means of the vibrator, according to game information, present vibration sensing and tactile for a player, thereby enabling the player to be more personally on the scene in the game.

Claims

1. A game system, comprising:

a computer, a display device and an operation device, wherein the computer is configured to run a game, the display device is configured to display a game image, and the operation device is configured to input an operation command into the computer;

wherein a vibrator is provided in the display device and/or the operation device; and

the computer is further configured to send a vibration signal to the display device and/or the operation device according to game information, so as to drive the vibrator to generate vibration,

wherein each of the display device and the operation device is provided with the vibrator;

wherein the computer sends a first vibration signal to the display device, and the display device parses the first vibration signal to determine parsed content of the first vibration signal and generates a second vibration signal containing the parsed content according to the first vibration signal, wherein the display device is provided with a ZigBee coordinator and a first ZigBee sensor, wherein the operation device is provided with a second ZigBee sensor, and wherein the ZigBee coordinator broadcasts the second vibration signal; and

wherein the first ZigBee sensor in the display device and the second ZigBee sensor in the operation device each receive and parse the broadcasted second vibration signal, and the display device and the operation device implement or do not implement vibration in response to the broadcasted second vibration signal.

2. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the display device comprises a display panel and a support, and the support is provided with the vibrator.

3. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the operation device comprises a mouse comprising a mouse body, a mouse button, a mouse wheel and the vibrator, wherein the vibrator is provided in the mouse body and/or the mouse button and/or the mouse wheel.

4. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the operation device comprises a keyboard comprising a keyboard base and a plurality of key positions, each key position being provided with a keyboard button;

each of the key positions is provided with the vibrator, and/or the keyboard base is provided with the vibrator.

5. The game system according to claim 1, further comprising a wristwatch or a wristband as the display device or the operation device, and the wristwatch or the wristband is provided with the vibrator.

6. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the computer sends the first vibration signal to the display device in a DDC/CI command format.

7. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the display device broadcasts the second vibration signal in a ZigBee command, Bluetooth or WiFi signal format.

8. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the computer comprises a personal computer.

9. The game system according to claim 1, wherein the computer sends the vibration signal to the display device and/or the operation device in one or more situations chosen from explosion, hit, shoot and impact in the game.

10. The game system according to claim 6, wherein the display device broadcasts the second vibration signal in a ZigBee command, Bluetooth or WiFi signal format.

11. The game system according to claim 2, wherein the operation device comprises a mouse comprising a mouse body, a mouse button, a mouse wheel and the vibrator, wherein the vibrator is provided in the mouse body and/or the mouse button and/or the mouse wheel.

12. The game system according to claim 2, wherein the operation device comprises a keyboard comprising a keyboard base and a plurality of key positions, each key position being provided with a keyboard button;

each of the key positions is provided with the vibrator, and/or the keyboard base is provided with the vibrator.

13. The game system according to claim 3, wherein the operation device comprises a keyboard comprising a keyboard base and a plurality of key positions, each key position being provided with a keyboard button;

each of the key positions is provided with the vibrator, and/or the keyboard base is provided with the vibrator.

14. The game system according to claim 2, wherein the game system further comprises a wristwatch or a wristband as the display device or the operation device, and the wristwatch or the wristband is provided with the vibrator.

15. The game system according to claim 3, wherein the game system further comprises a wristwatch or a wristband as the display device or the operation device, and the wristwatch or the wristband is provided with the vibrator.
