Application: Controller strap and battery door for a vr headset (Patent ID: US20240131440A1)
The patent filed by Meta Platforms Inc. describes a lanyard designed to hold a controller for a headset. The lanyard consists of a strap anchored on the lid of the battery case of the controller and a clip anchored to the opening pin in the lid. The strap is made of stretchable fabric with sticky pads that adhere to the fabric when looped around the clip, allowing the controller to be securely attached to the user's hand without the need to hold it separately.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the design and functionality of the lanyard, such as the strap being permanently fixed to the lid, the use of specific materials like polyester fibers and nylon fibers in the stretchable fabric, and the ability of the strap to allow the user to activate buttons on the controller without holding it. The patent also covers the integration of the lanyard into a controller for a headset, including features like a communications module, memory, and processor to interact with immersive applications running on the headset, making it suitable for virtual reality applications, particularly fitness applications where the user's movements are tracked and communicated via the controller.
