Mobile phone game interface
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more interfaces with a mobile station;
one or more processors coupled to at least one of the one or more interfaces with the mobile station and to one or more repositories, the one or more processors to execute instructions to;
identify a user interface characteristic of the mobile station;
select a controller application for the mobile station for controlling a game console system, the selection based on the identified user interface characteristic and a virtual world provided by the game console system;
identify the controller application to the mobile station, the controller application configured to execute on the mobile station in order to transform user interface inputs into controller commands for use with the game console system and the virtual world;
receive signals including data representing the controller commands from the mobile station over a communication link; and
determine a sequence of events of the virtual world provided by the game console system based on the received data representing the controller commands.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for enabling a mobile station to control a virtual world being executed on a console system are described. The method can include establishing a communication link between the mobile station and a console system, identifying user interface characteristics of the mobile station, and providing a controller application to the mobile station, the controller application being based on the identified user interface characteristics and configured to transform user interface inputs into controller commands. The method can further include receiving signals containing data representing the controller commands from the mobile station over the communication link and determining a sequence of events of the virtual world based on the received controller commands In one aspect, the controller application can execute in the context of an application on the mobile station.

19. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having machine-readable instructions thereon for qualifying a sales lead, which instructions, when executed by one or more computers or other processing devices, cause the one or more computers or other processing devices to:
-
identify a user interface characteristic of a mobile station; select a controller application for the mobile station for controlling a game console system, the selection based on the identified user interface characteristic and a virtual world computed by the game console system; provide the controller application to the mobile station, the controller application configured to execute on the mobile station in order to transform user interface inputs into controller commands for use with the game console system and the virtual world; receive signals including data representing the controller commands from the mobile station over a communication link; and determine a sequence of events of the virtual world computed by the game console system based on the received data representing the controller commands. - View Dependent Claims (20)
