Operating device
In order to reduce influences of light from indoor lighting equipment or the like on the accuracy in detecting the position of an operating device, an operating device ( 301 ) includes: left and right hold sections to be held by a user, each of which is provided with an operating member at an upper surface thereof; a central section ( 321 ) which is a section between the left and right hold sections; and a light emitting surface ( 328 c ) adapted to emit light to be captured by an information processing apparatus through a camera, the light emitting surface ( 328 c ) provided at a front surface of the central section ( 321 ). The central section ( 321 ) includes a portion which is located over the light emitting surface ( 328 c ) and is located on a more forward side than the light emitting surface ( 328 c ).
1. An operating device comprising:
an upper surface; and
a lower surface connected to the upper surface,
wherein the upper surface is located in a first direction of the operating device with respect to the lower surface and the lower surface is located in a second direction, which is opposite of the first direction of the operating device with respect to the upper surface;
wherein the lower surface comprises a bulging part which bulges in the second direction; and
wherein the bulging part comprises an insertion port, wherein the insertion port is configured to receive an insertion in a third direction which is normal to the first direction and the second direction.
2. The operating device of claim 1 ,
wherein the insertion port is configured to receive a cable.
3. The operating device of claim 1 ,
wherein the insertion port is exposed to a front side of a front surface of the bulging part.
4. The operating device of claim 1 , wherein the lower surface further comprises a groove.
5. The operating device of claim 4 , wherein the groove is positioned in front of the insertion port.
6. The operating device of claim 5 , wherein the groove is oriented in the third direction.
7. The operating device according to claim 5 , where a width of the groove corresponds to a width of the insertion port.
8. The operating device of claim 4 , wherein the groove is configured to allow a cable to be inserted into the insertion port.
9. The operating device of claim 4 , wherein the groove is configured such that when a connector of a cable in inserted into the insertion port, an end portion of the cable is disposed in the groove.
10. The operating device of claim 4 ,
wherein the lower surface further comprises a first portion configured to allow a first operating button to project out of the lower surface;
wherein the first portion is located toward a first corner of the lower surface in the third direction;
wherein the lower surface further comprises a second portion configured to allow a second operating button to project out of the lower surface;
wherein the second portion is located toward a second corner of the lower surface in the third direction; and
wherein the groove is located between the first portion and the second portion in a fourth direction which is normal to the first and second direction and normal to the third direction.
11. The operating device of claim 1 , wherein the insertion port is integrally formed into the lower surface.
12. The operating device according to claim 1 , wherein a vertical height of the bulge is approximately equal to a vertical height of the insertion port.
13. An operating device comprising:
left and right hold sections to be held by a user;
a first operating member which is disposed at the one of the right or the left hold sections, the first operating member being an operating button; and
a first operating stick which is disposed at one of a right side or a left side with respect to a center line which extends in a front-rear direction of the operating device;
a second operating member which has a smaller size than the first operating stick and the first operating member in a plane view, the second operating member being an operating button;
a groove located on the rear side of the operating device;
wherein, in the plane view, a point is located on the second operating member, the point being located at an equal distance from both a center of the first operating stick and a center of the first operating member.
14. The operating device of claim 13 ,
wherein the rear side comprises a bulging part located between the left and right hold sections;
wherein the bulging part comprises an insertion port, wherein the insertion port is configured to receive an insertion.
15. The operating device of claim 14 ,
wherein the insertion port is configured to receive a cable.
16. The operating device of claim 14 ,
wherein the insertion port is exposed to a front side of a front surface of the bulging part.
17. The operating device of claim 14 , wherein the bulging part and the groove are integrally formed into a lower surface of the operation device.
18. The operating device of claim 17 , wherein the insertion port is integrally formed into the lower surface of the operation device.
19. The operating device of claim 13 , wherein the groove is located between the left and right hold sections.
20. The operating device of claim 13 , wherein the groove is oriented in a direction parallel to the center line.
