| 20120108339 | USER-CONFIGURABLE CASING FOR MANUAL CONTROLLER - A configurable manual controller for manipulating images or symbols on a display is adapted for construction with matable building elements arranged by a user. The user forms the manual controller to exhibit a customized ornamental appearance reflecting the user's game-inspired, ergonomic, or style preferences. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20100248840 | MANUAL CONTROLLER CONFIGURABLE BY USER ARRANGEMENT OF MATABLE BUILDING ELEMENTS - A configurable manual controller for manipulating images or symbols on a display is adapted for construction with matable building elements arranged by a user. The user forms the manual controller to exhibit a customized ornamental appearance reflecting the user's game-inspired, ergonomic, or style preferences. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100245239 | PRESSURE SENSING CONTROLLER - Embodiments of a pressure sensing controller implement grip and pressure sensing, as well as standard input control actuation, to provide control input by a user. The disclosed grip and pressure sensing control can be implemented in hand-held game controllers, control devices for appliances, cellular telephones, and any other type of devices that require control input. In the case of an existing control device with predefined control output, user programming of input settings to define command extensions allows extended gripping and pressure control input to be combined within the capable existing control outputs of the device. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090295714 | POWER CONSERVING SYSTEM FOR HAND-HELD CONTROLLERS - A manual controller operates through a wireless communication link with a computing device to manipulate images or symbols on a display associated with the computing device. An electrical power conserving system allows such a wireless controller to conserve electrical power as the controller operates with electrical power supplied by replaceable batteries or rechargeable battery packs. In preferred embodiments, electronic manual-contact sensing circuitry enables more rapid turnoff of the controller during periods of game play inactivity. This eliminates a long timeout period and allows electrical current drain only when the controller is actually being held by a user. Preferred embodiments of the electronic manual-contact sensing circuitry detect electrical resistance of a user's hands and thereby enables delivery of different amounts of electrical power as required. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090176571 | SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF OPERATING VIDEO GAME SYSTEM WITH CONTROL ACTUATOR-EQUIPPED STYLUS - A system and method expand game action functionality of a portable game system in which user manipulation of a stylus contributes to control of game action in the operation of two-handed game play. The stylus is equipped with one or more control actuators that are integrally associated with (i.e., positioned on or in) the stylus to respond to manipulation by the user to control game action. One or more game action functions are selected and implemented for control by the number of the stylus-equipped control actuators. The game action functions include one or both of game action functions caused by actuation of the number of first and second control actuator devices and other, additional game action functions. The selected game action functions expand practicable game action functionality of the portable game system by enabling use of the user's hand manipulating the stylus to cause performance of one or more game action functions. | 07-09-2009 |
