The control circuit 44 sends the display signal 18 to the vibration generator 54 at a specific position such as a crash during a game, for example, at the tip of the case 10 to thereby provide the aforementioned visual and auditory sense. In addition to the appealed display, a display operation appealing to tactile sensation is performed.

However, by placing the vibration generator 54 on the distal end A side of the case 10 as shown in FIG. 7A, during the game in which the base end B is supported from above and below by the fingertip 42, the fingertip position becomes a fulcrum. The distance from the fulcrum position to the vibration generator 54 is maximized, and vibrations appear as shown by the one-dot chain line and the two-dot chain line, and as a result, the fingertip 42 becomes smaller than when the vibration generator 54 is placed on the base end B side. Can easily feel the vibration, and the sense of presence during the game is enhanced.

ない。The vibration generator 54 can be appropriately changed as long as it generates vibration in conjunction with the application of the display signal 18, such as a device utilizing electromagnetic force or a device which vibrates a piezoelectric element by a low frequency signal. Of course. Also, the generated vibration is not limited to a continuous generation at a constant frequency, and the vibration mode is not limited, such as changing the vibration frequency and the vibration intensity in a plurality of stages, or intermittently vibrating.

好ましい。For example, if the vibration during the game vibrates at each event such as a crash, it is difficult to distinguish the vibration from the incoming call during the game, but in such a case, the incoming vibration is continuously generated. It is preferable to make the vibration mode different between the game and the incoming call so that the vibration is set or the vibration frequency is set higher or lower than the vibration frequency during the game.

で、着呼時をゲーム時から識別させることができる。When an incoming call is received during the game, the game software is forcibly put into a pause state by using an incoming call detection signal 59 described later, and the display screen 28 is stopped or an incoming call display such as "incoming call" is performed. Can be made. In the case where the sound generator 46 is provided, the buzzer sound or the word “incoming call” is sounded from the speaker by the incoming call detection signal 59, so that the incoming call can be identified from the time of the game.

る。Next, the incoming call detecting section 48 for detecting the incoming call state of the portable telephone 66 has a response signal 60 which the portable telephone 66 sends back to the base station when receiving an incoming call, which has a relatively large power. As shown in FIG. 6, an antenna 56 and a detection circuit 58 for a response signal 60 are used.
And a switching circuit 62 that is turned on in response to the input of the incoming call detection signal 59 output from the detection circuit 58.

When the power is supplied to 4, the vibration generator 54 performs vibration display at a timing different from the display during the game, and notifies the operator of the game machine 22 that the telephone 66 has arrived. The display state is reset by a specific procedure on the operation switch 26 or a pressing operation of the specific switch.

When the first detecting unit 68 detects the incoming call state, the first detecting unit 68 is provided with a close contact or built-in state.
The detection signal 70 specified by the D code is transmitted in a wireless state, and the detection signal 70 is transmitted to the second
Of the response signal 60 transmitted from another telephone 66 may be prevented by selectively capturing by the detection unit 72. In that case, the control circuit 44 provided for the game may be used to execute a part or the whole of the incoming call state detection operation performed by the incoming call detection unit 48 or the second detection unit 72 described above. .
