Improved games controller with additional distal input control device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11992752B2) discloses an innovative input apparatus designed for computer systems. The apparatus features an outer case with multiple faces, including front, rear, and top faces, along with front controls on the front face and top controls on the top face. Users can hold the device with both hands, positioning their thumbs to operate the front controls and index fingers to operate the top controls. The input sensing device captures user inputs from various motions at different distances from the sensing surface, while a distal input control device captures inputs from motions at a greater distance. Additionally, an activation recognition device captures inputs from pressing the sensing surface, enhancing user interaction with computer programs, particularly games.
Furthermore, the patent details a handheld controller variation of the input apparatus, emphasizing its ergonomic design for user comfort and efficiency. This handheld controller includes front and top controls, a touch-sensitive device for capturing user inputs, a distal input control device internally located below the sensing surface, and an activation recognition device for registering inputs from pressing the surface. The controller's layout allows for intuitive operation by positioning the thumbs and index fingers strategically for control inputs. The incorporation of multiple input devices and controls on different faces of the apparatus enhances user interaction with computer programs, offering a versatile and user-friendly input solution for various applications, including gaming.
