Abstract
To provide a device capable of providing input force by striking to an object while providing object movement that is not based on a mechanical structure. Image signals from a data processing board 15 are supplied to a display 9. An image that is to be struck or another essential image is thus displayed on the display 9. The player uses an input device 2 in the form of a hammer to strike the object displayed on the display 9. An operating signal Ss is thus output from a vibration switch 22 in the input device 2. The operating signal Ss is supplied to the data processing board 15. Based on the operating signal Ss, the entire image on the display 9 is brightened for the prescribed time by the data processing board 15. At this time, the photodetector signals detected by a photodetector substrate 23 in the input device 2 are supplied to the processing board 15. Based on the photodetector signal, the processing board 15 specifies the position where the input device 2 has struck the display 9, and determines the impact between the struck object and the input device 2.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
