Abstract

A wireless controller for a video game system is disclosed. The wireless controller for a video game player comprises a wireless receiver and a sound transformer that are connected with a first memory chip receiver of the video game player. The built-in microphone and amplifier of the wireless receiver allows the user to use the wireless controller to transmit signals and communicate with the wireless receiver wirelessly. Thus without using headset with microphone, the user can control the wireless controller and also communicate with the other online player within an effective transmission range.

Claims

1. A wireless controller of a video game player comprising:

a wireless receiver connected to said video game player, comprising a first control circuit, a first communication interface, a first wireless receiving/transmitting circuit, a first memory chip receiver, a second memory chip receiver, an amplifier and a microphone, wherein the first receiving/receiving circuit, the first memory chip receiver, the second memory chip receiver, the first communication interface, the amplifier and the microphone are connected to said first control circuit;

a sound transformer connected to another side of said wireless receiver, comprising a second control circuit and a headset jack, and a second communication interface is connected to said second control circuit, wherein said headset jack is connected to said wireless receiver through a sound transmission wire, and said second communication interface is conjunct in said first memory chip receiver; and

a wireless controller comprising a third control circuit and a second wireless receiving/transmitting circuit is connected to said third control circuit, wherein first wireless receiving/transmitting circuit can communicate with said second wireless receiving/transmitting circuit.

2. The wireless controller for the video game player according to claim 1, wherein said third control circuit of said wireless controller is connected to a volume control button.

3. The wireless controller for the video game player according to claim 1, wherein said third control circuit of said wireless controller is connected to a microphone switch.

4. The wireless controller for the video game player according to claim 1, wherein said first control circuit of said wireless receiver further comprises an auto-gain circuit for balancing over loud and low volume.

5. The wireless controller for the video game player according to claim 1, wherein said first control circuit of said wireless receiver further comprises an echo canceling circuit for canceling a cross-talk.

6. The wireless controller for the video game player according to claim 1, wherein said first control circuit of said wireless receiver further comprises a volume control circuit for controlling the volume of the amplifier.

7. The wireless controller for the video game player according to claim 1, wherein said first control circuit of said wireless receiver further comprises a microphone control circuit for said microphone to receive sound signal.

8. A wireless controller for a video game player comprising:
