Operation controlling device and video processing system used therewith
First Claim
1. For use with a video game system console having a program executing processing system for executing a program to create a display, and at least one user operated controller having a joystick control member and an insertion port for receiving a removable read/write memory, said program executing processing system responding to data generated by said player controller to modify said display, an external system comprising:
- a memory media for storing program instructions;
a connector for coupling said program instructions from said memory media to said video game system console;
said program instructions including at least one instruction for causing the transfer of data to said read/write memory coupled to said user operated controller insertion port.

Abstract
A video processing system is described including a video processing device which generates a sequence of video display frames on a display unit under the control of a stored program, and a unique operation controlling device which is connected to the video processing device and which supplies signals in response to an operator'"'"'s manipulation, to change the video data generated by the video processing device. The video processing device includes a replaceable program memory, first data receiving circuitry, a central processing unit, first data sending circuitry and a video signal generation circuitry. The operation controlling device may include various operation controlling buttons, switches, an operation member, rotor bodies, rotation detection mechanisms, counting circuitry, reset signal generation circuitry, second receiving circuitry, transfer circuitry and second sending circuitry. Advantageously, the operation controlling mechanism may be utilized to permit user control of a displayed object via said operation member and at the same time independently control movement of another displayed object via control switches protruding from the operation controlling mechanism housing.

9. For use with a video game system having a program executing processing system and at least one user operated controller having a joystick control member and an insertion port for receiving a removable read/write memory, and an external memory device for storing a program for controlling the operation of said video game system, a method for operating said video game system comprising the steps of:
-
executing at least one instruction stored in said external memory for causing the transmission of data to said user operated controller;
transferring data to said user operated controller;
receiving said data by said user operated controller under the control of controller processing circuitry; and
coupling said data to said user operated controller read/write memory. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
