Fishing game device
First Claim
1. A fishing game device comprising:
- a fishing rod having one end of a fishing line secured to the distal end thereof;
a securing end securing the other end of the fishing line; and
a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism for imparting pulling force to the fishing line along the path of the fishing line between the fishing rod and the securing end, wherein the first drive mechanism imparts transverse imparting pulling force to the fishing line, and the second drive mechanism imparts longitudinal pulling force to the fishing line.

Abstract
Provides a fishing game device capable of sensing operation of a fishing rod imparting action to a lure, affording more realistic simulation of tugging by the fish. Comprises a fishing rod having one end of a fishing line secured to the distal end thereof and a securing end for securing the end of the fishing line to the fishing game device, there being provided on the path of the fishing line between the fishing rod and the securing end a first slide table driven in the transverse direction such that pulling force is exerted on the fishing line in the transverse direction, a sensing unit provided to the first slide table for sensing the vertical and sideways orientation of the fishing rod, a vibrating unit for imparting finely graduated movements to the fishing line, a fishing line slack take-up unit supporting in spring fashion a fishing line guide so as the keep the fishing line constantly taut, and a second slide table driven in the longitudinal direction such that pulling force is exerted on the fishing line in the longitudinal direction.

17. A fishing game device comprising:
-
a fishing rod having one end of a fishing line secured to the distal end thereof;
a securing end securing the other end of the fishing line;
a sensing unit, arranged on the path of the fishing line between the fishing rod and the securing end, for sensing motion of the fishing rod; and
a drive mechanism, arranged on the path of the fishing line between the sensing unit and the securing end, for exerting longitudinal pulling force on the fishing line.

18. A fishing game device comprising:
-
a display unit, a control unit for converting into two-dimensional coordinates data for objects having three-dimensional coordinates in a three-dimensional virtual space and controlling the display of images of these objects on the display unit, and a simulated fishing rod manipulated by the player, wherein images of the objects shown on the display are updated in response to movements of the simulated fishing rod, further comprising;
a sensing element for sensing movements of the simulated fishing rod manipulated by the player;
wherein the control unit establishes camera viewpoint on the basis of a specific relationship to the coordinates of the object in a three-dimensional coordinate system and controls the display unit so as to display image data produced through projection of the object, as viewed from the camera viewpoint, onto a two-dimensional plane; and
wherein the object coordinates and camera viewpoint coordinates maintained in a specific relationship to the object coordinates are updated in response to movements of the simulated fishing rod sensed by the sensing element. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
