ADJUSTING OPERATION OF TOUCH SENSITIVE PANEL OF GAME CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. A method for operating a game controller, the method comprising:
- setting initial operational parameters of at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller, the touch sensitive pad having a plurality of touch sensitive elements;
receiving touch pad input from the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller, the touch pad input corresponding to a user'"'"'s touch of at least some of the plurality of touch sensitive elements;
at least partially processing the touch pad input by processing circuitry of the game controller;
transmitting the at least partially processed touch pad input to a game console via a communications interface of the game controller for processing; and
upon meeting an operational parameter alteration condition, altering the operational parameters of the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller.

Abstract
Operating a game controller by setting initial operational parameters of at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller. The touch sensitive pad has a plurality of touch sensitive elements. Touch pad input is received from the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller. The touch pad input corresponds to a user'"'"'s touch of at least some of the plurality of touch sensitive elements. The touch pad input is at least partially processed by processing circuitry of the game controller and transmitted to a game console via a communications interface of the game controller for processing. Upon meeting an operational parameter alteration condition, the operational parameters of the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller are altered.

12. A game controller comprising:
-
a communications interface; at least one touch sensitive pad having a plurality of touch sensitive elements; and processing circuitry coupled to the communications interface and to the at least one touch sensitive pad, the processing circuitry is operable to; set initial operational parameters of the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller; receive touch pad input from the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller, the touch pad input corresponding to a user'"'"'s touch of at least some of the plurality of touch sensitive elements; at least partially process the touch pad input; transmit the at least partially processed touch pad input to a game console via the communications interface; and upon meeting an operational parameter alteration condition, alter the operational parameters of the at least one touch sensitive pad of the game controller. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
