Portable storage device for a game machine to mount games

Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable storage device for a game machine to mount games, which includes a portable storage device and a main game machine. The main game machine and the portable storage device are provided with mutual coupling connector interfaces. The connector interface of the portable storage device is further configured with an encoding and decoding unit, which enables processing and transmitting of game files within the portable storage device to the main game machine, after which an execution unit of the main game machine executes the game files and produces an operable user interface, thereby effectively increasing memory capacity of the main game machine. In accordance with such means, the game files of the portable storage device can be mounted on the user interface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention provides a portable storage device, and more particularly to a portable storage device for a game machine to mount games, in which game files stored within a portable storage device are transmitted to a main game machine through an encoding and decoding unit, and the game files within the portable storage device can be mounted on a user interface.[0003](b) Description of the Prior Art[0004]Technological progress has brought about a transformation in many leisure and entertainment industries, with television amusement machines and computer games being particularly prominent examples of such.[0005]The massive, large-scale amusement machines installed within the so-called amusement places of early times required the consumer to drop coins or tokens into the large-scale amusement machines in order to operate the game controls.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]A primary objective of the present invention is to store game files within a storage unit of the portable storage device, and enable the game files to be processed using the encoding and decoding unit and transmitted through a connector interface of the portable storage device to a connector interface of the main game machine. The connector interface of the main game machine sends the game files to an execution unit, which executes the game files and produces an operable user interface, whereby problems of the television amusement machines of the prior art having insufficient capacity and the inability to achieve online updating and online connection are overcome, and thus achieves effectiveness to enable the game files of the portable storage device to be mounted on the user interface of the main game machine.

Problems solved by technology

However, the large-scale machines operated independent of each other, thereby preventing inter-machine gaming between the large-scale amusement machines.

The Internet Cafe has now already become a place for many people to get together during leisure time for the simple reason that although the Internet is convenient, however, effectiveness to provide a receptive experience and have a good time together is not apparent when playing online games with friends via the Internet at home, and hence the discernible prevalence of Internet Coffee shops.

Furthermore, price of the television amusement machines is high and game software is expensive, thus, not everyone is willing to spend their leisure and entertainment expenditure on the television amusement machines.

Furthermore, general television amusement machines have the annoyance of having to place a CD (Compact Disk) into the machine, moreover, internal storage space of the television amusement machines is too small, and is only able to store game records.
