Abstract:
1. A game controller used as an input unit for a game apparatus, the game controller comprising: a magnetic field generation unit to be attached to a tongue of a first user; and a control signal output device to be provided outside a mouth of a second user for outputting a game control signal according to a position of the magnetic field generation unit in the mouth of the second user when the tongue of the first user to which the magnetic field generation unit is attached is inserted into the mouth of the second user, the control signal output device comprising: a plurality of magnetic field sensors for measuring a magnetic field intensity of the magnetic field generation unit inserted into the mouth of the second user; and a signal processing module for calculating the position of the magnetic field generation unit in the mouth of the second user according to magnetic field intensities measured by the plurality of magnetic field sensors, generating a game control signal according to the calculated position, and transmitting the generated game control signal to the game apparatus.
