VIDEO-GAME CONTROLLER ASSEMBLIES DESIGNED FOR PROGRESSIVE CONTROL OF ACTIONABLE-OBJECTS DISPLAYED ON TOUCHSCREENS: EXPANDING THE METHOD AND BREADTH OF TOUCH-INPUT DELIVERY
First Claim
1. A touchscreen controller system, comprising:
- a remote motion-sensing input device;
an intermediary device comprising a processor; and
one or more output ends connected to the intermediary device for affixing to a touch-screen device;
wherein the motion-sensing input device communicates input to the intermediary device;
wherein the intermediary device determines a touchscreen gesture corresponding to the communicated input and transmits a signal to the output ends causing the determined touchscreen gesture to be applied at the output ends.

Abstract
Remote-controller assemblies for touchscreens provide for the capture, translation and/or transmission (both directly, in a conductive channel, and indirectly) of the control input of a user—user motions, thematically—for corresponding capacitive discharge at a touchscreen. A remote motion-sensing input device plurality register a user motion input or input plurality for respective output to an intermediary-transceiver device for processing and transmission of a capacitive load to attached output ends connected to a touchscreen. The attached output ends act as a capacitive input in controlling an on-screen actionable object or object plurality seeking said capacitive input. Various specialty controllers are introduced as mats, musical instruments, steering-wheel assemblies, hockey sticks, golf clubs, baseball bats and gloves, bowling balls and DJ stations.

28. A system, comprising:
-
a plurality of beam-casting elements; a user input device comprising a light sensor; a timer; and a machine input interface; wherein the machine input interface is configured to receive commands from a gaming device for activation of the timer and beam-casting elements; wherein the beam-casting elements project a light beam to indicate the location of an object and the timer indicates the time until impact of the object; wherein detection of the light beam by the light sensor at timer expiration indicates intersection of the object and the user input device. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)
