Abstract

A game controller can provide input to a video game played on a mobile computing device. Some games require a touch input on the touch screen of a mobile computing device, but a game controller may not have its own touch screen to receive and provide the required touch input. The game controller can be manually configured by a user of the game controller to convert an actuation of a control surface (e.g., a button, joystick, etc.) of the game controller to a touch screen input.

Abstract

A game controller can provide input to a video game played on a mobile computing device. Some games require a touch input on the touch screen of a mobile computing device, but a game controller may not have its own touch screen to receive and provide the required touch input. The game controller can be manually configured by a user of the game controller to convert an actuation of a control surface (e.g., a button, joystick, etc.) of the game controller to a touch screen input. However, this can be a very cumbersome and frustrating process for the user and has several limitations. The embodiments described herein can overcome this problem by providing a map that is automatically configured, without user configuration, to convert an input representing an actuation of the control surface into a touch screen input.

Abstract

One challenge of designing a handheld game controller to accommodate thicker phones and phone cases is that it tends to make the handheld game controller thicker. A thicker handheld game controller increases weight, volume and material expense. In one embodiment, a handheld game controller is provided with an "overhang" that solves this problem by decoupling increased thickness of the phone from the requirement of increasing controller thickness. This allows for the benefits of broader phone and case support, while maintaining a more-comfortable posture.

Abstract

Some cloud gaming and other remote game environments require a user to wait in a queue before playing a game. During this time, the user may be concerned that they will lose their place in the queue if they close the window displaying the game to do another task on the computing device. If the user decides to do something away from the computing device while waiting in the queue, it is possible that the user will be unaware when they progress out of the queue and miss their opportunity to play the game. This can be a frustrating experience for the user. The embodiments presented herein can be used to address this situation.

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a controller with a user-input element, such as a software service button, that can be programmed to accept various sequenced hardware-initiated input events (e.g., double press) that allow for other actions to overlay on top of default actions of a software service button. This can be accomplished, by way of example, through a custom accessory communication protocol that can receive the input events in the platform operating service application, even when the app is in the background to enable the various overlay actions. Thus, the user can use the overlay actions even when the platform operating service application is not in the foreground.

A universal mobile game controller is provided that can interoperate with multiple computing device operating systems (e.g., Android and iOS) in an automatic way through a common connector (e.g., USB-C). With these embodiments, instead of building a separate mobile game controller for each operating system, a single mobile game controller can be used for all operating systems. These embodiments can also enable communication with an application running within the computing device operating system. Other embodiments are provided.

• A63F 13/23 - Input arrangements for video game devices for interfacing with the game device, e.g. specific interfaces between game controller and console

Abstract

A gaming input device implements a method of adjusting input polling rate in various usage scenarios to optimize performance in light of scenario-specific considerations. The device detects a usage scenario and maps it to an optimized input polling rate, then requests the optimized input polling rate from associated firmware and hardware so an adjustment can be accomplished. The automated adjustment to polling rate accounts for problems associated with various usage scenarios, such as latency and power consumption, and allows for optimization specific to each scenario.
