Cordless game controller system
First Claim
1. A system of user manipulable devices for interfacing with a host device, the system comprising:
- a first user manipulable device which is configured to be operatively connected with the host device to interface with the host device to transfer data between the first user manipulable device and the host device and produce sensory feedback to a user; and
a second user manipulable device which is configured to interface wirelessly with the first user manipulable device to transfer data between the second user manipulable device and the host device via the first user manipulable device and produce sensory feedback to the user, wherein the first user manipulable device and the second user manipulable device are manipulable by the same user.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to interfacing a plurality of user manipulable input devices with a host device using a more simplified and convenient setup for the user. In one embodiment, a system of user manipulable devices for interfacing with a host device comprises a first user manipulable device which is configured to be operatively connected with the host device to interface with the host device to transfer data between the first user manipulable device and the host device and produce sensory feedback to a user. A second user manipulable device is configured to interface wirelessly with the first user manipulable device to transfer data between the second user manipulable device and the host device via the first user manipulable device and produce sensory feedback to the user. The first user manipulable device and the second user manipulable device are manipulable by the same user.

17. A method of interfacing with a host device via a plurality of user manipulable devices, the method comprising:
-
transmitting data generated in a second user manipulable device by a user to a first user manipulable device wirelessly;
transmitting data generated in the first user manipulable device by the user and the data received from the second user manipulable to the host device via a wired connection between the first user manipulable device and the host device; and
processing the data received by the host device from the first user manipulable device via the wired connection to provide sensory feedback to the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
