Game System and Game Controller
First Claim
1. A game system comprising a game controller and a game device for executing a game application,the game controller including:
- at least one vibrator wherein a vibration control signal controls drive of the at least one vibrator;
a motion sensor configured to detect vibration caused by the drive of the at least one vibrator;
an analog-to-digital converter configured to analog-to-digital convert an output signal of the motion sensor; and
a first communication module configured to supply a sensor output signal, which has been analog-to-digital converted, to the game device, andthe game device including;
a second communication module configured to receive the sensor output signal from the game controller;
an application processing unit configured to carrying out a processing of a game application; and
a supply unit configured to supply the received sensor output signal to the application processing unit as game operation data,wherein the application processing unit reflects the game operation data received from the supply unit, in the processing of a game application.

Abstract
A controller includes at least one vibrator and a vibration control unit which converts an operation input signal which is input to a predetermined operation button into a vibration control signal so as to be supplied to a vibrator. A motion sensor in a sensor unit detects vibration caused by the drive of the vibrator. Sensor output signal value obtained as a result of the detection by the sensor unit is transmitted from a wireless communication module to a game device. A game device achieves a function of automatically firing in succession in a game, based on the sensor output signal value.

7. A game controller for transmitting game operation data to a game device, the game controller comprising:
-
at least one vibrator; a motion sensor configured to detect a motion of the game controller caused by drive of the at least one vibrator; an operation button operated by a user wherein the operation of the operation button drives the at least one vibrator; a vibration control unit configured to convert an operation input signal which is input to the operation button into a vibration control signal so as to be supplied to the at least one vibrator; an analog-to-digital converter configured to analog-to-digital convert an output signal of the motion sensor; and a communication module configured to supply a sensor output signal, which has been analog-to-digital converted, to the game device.
