MULTIPLE DIMENSIONAL CONTROLLER

摘要

PURPOSE:To accomplish a multiple dimensional control by arranging more than two magnetic resistance effect elements on the circumference of a magnetism generating element arranged rotatively along a centrol axis. CONSTITUTION:The inner surface of an enclosure 1 forms a spherical cavity which housses a spherical magnetism generating element 2 in such a manner as to be free to turn. The magnetism generating element 2 has a magnet in the spherical body while having a handle extending outside the body whereby a joystick is constructed. Changes in the magnetic field by the magnet 6 is detected with individual magnetic resistance effect elements 3-5 serving as magnetism-electricity converting element and electrical signals converted are developed at output terminals 11-13 by way of amplification circuits 8-10 separately connected thereto. The converted electrical signals thus formed are utilized as control signals for various elements according to uses.
