Improved game controller with additional distal input controls
The patent US11992752B2 describes an innovative input apparatus designed for computer interaction, particularly as a gaming controller. The device features an outer case with multiple faces, including a front, rear, and top face, allowing for ergonomic use with both hands. Users can operate front controls with their thumbs and top controls with their index fingers. The apparatus incorporates a touch-sensitive device that captures user inputs through a sensing surface, as well as a distal input control device that detects additional inputs from motions occurring at varying distances from the sensing surface. This design enables a range of user interactions, including gestures and pressing actions, enhancing the overall user experience.
Further details of the patent reveal that the input apparatus may include multiple distal input control devices, each equipped with cameras and image analyzers to capture various fields of view. The configuration allows for inputs from different body parts, such as hands, fingers, and even the head or face, depending on the positioning of the sensing surface. The apparatus is designed to facilitate control inputs for programs, particularly games, making it a versatile tool for computer interaction. The inclusion of additional controls on the rear face of the device, which can be activated by the middle, ring, or pinkie fingers, further expands its functionality, catering to a wide range of user preferences and interaction styles.
