Patent

CA 2218706

Communication with a computer through a gameport is provided in a fashion which provides an increased information bandwidth, e.g. for coupling three or more joysticks or other peripheral devices and/or a total of five or more buttons. In one embodiment, information from joysticks (606a, 606b, 606c, 606d) or other peripheral devices is provided in the synchronous serial digitized form over the 4 button lines (226c, 226d, 226h, 226i). X-A (226a) and Y-A (226b) lines of the gameport are used for providing, to the external devices, timing information from which load (740) and clock (714) signals are generated to control output of information from the peripheral devices to complete.

Les communications avec un ordinateur par l'intermédiaire d'un port de jeu sont conçues de manière à fournir une plus grande largeur de bande notamment pour permettre d'y raccorder trois manettes de jeu ou plus, d'autres périphériques et/ou un total de cinq boutons ou plus. Dans l'une des réalisations, les signaux provenant des manettes de jeu (606a, 606b, 606c, 606d) ou autres périphériques se présentent sous la forme de signaux sériels synchrones numérisés passant par les quatre lignes de boutons (226c, 226d, 226e, 226f). Les lignes X-A (226a) et Y-A (226b) du port de jeu servent à fournir aux dispositifs externes des signaux de synchronisation à partir desquels des signaux de charge (740) et d'horloge (714) sont générés pour contrôler les informations émises par les périphériques.
