Description

This invention relates to a glove-type device worn on a user's hand. A device is known that detects the user's hand movements while being worn on the user's hand (see, for example, Patent Document 1). WO2023/127078 publication This figure shows the state in which the glove-type device 1 is being used.This diagram schematically shows the configuration of the glove-type device 1.This is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in Figure 2.This figure shows the configuration of a modified glove-type device 1A. [Basic configuration of the glove-type device 1 and the operating unit 2] Figure 1 shows the glove-type device 1 in use. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the glove-type device 1. Figures 1(a) and 2(a) show the back of the hand when the user is wearing the glove-type device 1, while Figures 1(b) and 2(b) show the palm side. The glove-type device 1 is a glove-shaped device for detecting operations performed by the user. The glove-type device 1 is used when worn on the user's hand. The glove-type device 1 is configured so that the operating unit 2 can be fixed in place. The operating unit 2 is a device for receiving operations performed by the user using their fingers. The glove-type device 1 comprises a glove portion 10, a first fixing portion 11, and a second fixing portion 12. The second fixing portion 12 includes a strip-shaped member 121, a first fixing member 122, and a second fixing member 123. Details of the configuration of the glove-type device 1 will be described later. The operation unit 2 comprises an operation device 21 and a control unit 22. As shown in Figure 2, the control unit 22 comprises a main body 220, a first coupling portion 221, a second coupling portion 222, and a third coupling portion 223. The operating device 21 includes buttons, a joystick, and sensors for receiving user input. The operating device 21 is used while coupled to the control unit 22 via the third coupling portion 223. The operating device 21 may also be detachably coupled to the control unit 22. The operating device 21 detects user input and transmits data indicating the detected input to the control unit 22. The control unit 22 has a processor and a communication interface that transmit operation data indicating the operation content to an external device being operated by the user, based on data received from the operating device 21. The electronic circuits, such as the processor and communication interface, are housed in the main unit 220. The external device may be, for example, a game console, computer, smartphone, headset, or robot. The control unit 22 may have wireless communication functions such as Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi®, or it may have wired communication functions, to transmit operation data to the external device. The first coupling portion 221 is the part that is coupled to the first fixing portion 11 of the glove-type device 1. For example, the first coupling portion 221 is configured to protrude from the main body portion 220 on the lower side (the side in contact with the first fixing portion 11) of the main body portion 220. The control unit 22 has multiple first coupling portions 221. In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, four first coupling portions 221 are provided near the four corners of the main body portion 220, but the number of first coupling portions 221 is arbitrary. The first connecting portion 221 may be fixed to the first fixing portion 11 by a fixing member such as a screw or adhesive, or it may have a snap button or hook-and-loop fastener for detachable attachment to the first fixing portion 11. The first connecting portion 221 may have an opening, and a screw for fixing to the first fixing portion 11 may be configured to pass through the opening. Furthermore, the entire bottom surface of the main body portion 220 may function as the first connecting portion 221. The second connecting portion 222 is the part that connects to the second fixing portion 12 of the glove-type device 1. The control unit 22 has, for example, a second connecting portion 222a on the thumb side of the main body portion 220 and a second connecting portion 222b on the little finger side. The second connecting portion 222 has an opening, and the strip-shaped member 121 passes through this opening, thereby connecting the second connecting portion 222 to the second fixing portion 12. The opening shown in Figures 1 and 2 is rectangular, but the shape of the opening is arbitrary. The second connecting portion 222 is integrally formed with the main body portion 220 so as to extend from a corner of the main body portion 220 that is different from the corner where at least one first connecting portion 221 is provided. Because the second connecting portion 222 is provided at a position away from the location where at least one first connecting portion 221 is provided, the second connecting portion 222 can restrict the movement of the operating portion 2 in a direction different from the d
