CONFIGURABLE REPRESENTATION OF A VIRTUAL BUTTON ON A GAME CONTROLLER TOUCH SCREEN
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- rendering, with a game controller processor, a representation of a virtual control button in a region of a touch screen of a game controller according to a layout command from a video game system;
associating the representation of the virtual control button with an other region of the touch screen;
communicating a signal comprising an association of the other region with the representation of the virtual control button to the video game system; and
converting the signal to a processor readable code to cause the video game system to generate a layout update command.

Abstract
A method, a system and an apparatus of a configurable representation of a virtual button on a game controller touch screen are disclosed. In one aspect, a graphical representation of a virtual control button of a video game is rendered with a game controller processor in a region of a touch screen of a game controller. The rendering of the virtual control button is executed according to a layout command from a video game system. The graphical representation of the virtual control button is associated with another region of the touch screen. A signal that includes the association of the other region with the graphical representation of the virtual control button is communicated to the video game system. The video game system generates a layout update command.

10. A system comprising:
-
a video game system; a game controller communicatively coupled with the video game system; a game controller processor to render a representation of a virtual control button in a region of a touch screen of the game controller according to a layout command from the video game system, to detect an association of the representation of the virtual control button with an area outside the region of the touch screen, and to generate a signal comprising the association of the representation of the virtual control button with the area outside the region; the touch screen of the game controller to display the representation of the virtual control button; and a virtual control button module of the video game system to analyze the signal rendered by the game controller processor, and to generate a layout update command to cause the game controller processor to an other representation of the virtual control button in the area outside the region. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
rendering, with a processor of a game controller, a virtual button to display on a specified location of a touch screen of the game controller according to a layout command from a video game system; determining an association of the virtual button with an other location of the touch screen; and generating a signal comprising the association of the virtual button with the other location of the touch screen, wherein the signal causes the video game system to communicate a layout update command to the game controller. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
