Input device for computer games including inertia sensor

Abstract

An input device for computer games is provided. The input device includes an inertia sensor for sensing the movement of the input device, at least one trigger button, and a signal processor for formatting signals output from the inertia sensor and the at least one trigger button and transmitting the formatted signals to a computer.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An input device for computer games comprising: 
 an inertia sensor for sensing the movement of the input device;    at least one trigger button; and    a signal processor for formatting signals output from the inertia sensor and the at least one trigger button and transmitting the formatted signals to a computer.    
     
     
         2 . The input device for computer games of  claim 1 , wherein the inertia sensor comprises: 
 a first inertia sensor for sensing the horizontal movement (acceleration) or rotation angle of the input device; and    a second inertia sensor for sensing the vertical movement (acceleration) or rotation angle of the input device.    
     
     
         3 . The input device for computer games of  claim 1  further comprising a motion button for determining whether or not an appropriate response corresponding to the movement of the input device and the state of the at least one trigger button being manipulated is displayed on a screen.  
     
     
         4 . The input device for computer games of  claim 1 , wherein the input device is a pistol-type input device, a handle-type input device, which has an acceleration pedal for car racing games, or a joystick-type input device.  
     
     
         5 . The input device for computer games of  claim 1 , wherein all or some of the inertia sensor, the at least one trigger button, and the signal processor constitute a module.
