  • Publication number: 20060172787
    Abstract: A simulated character module and method of operation are presented. The simulated character module includes a processor, a display operably coupled to the processor and a communication device operably coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to control a simulated character, and an image associated with the simulated character is displayable on the display. Further, the image is displayable on a second display of a second module to simulate movement of the simulated character to the second module. The module communicates via an electronic network with the second module using the communication device. The electronic network can be the Internet. Further, the image is not displayed on the display of the module if the image is displayed on the second display of the second module.

  • Publication number: 20050169252
    Abstract: A game controller including a housing, a first processor mounted in the housing and an audio input connected to the housing and in communication with said first processor. The audio input being adapted to receive an audio communication, convert the audio communication to at least one control signal and communicate the control signal to the first processor. The game controller also includes an interface coupled to the housing, where the interface is a game control such as a directional pad or joystick. The game controller is adapted to communicate at least one control signal from the first processor to a second different processor via the internet, and is adapted to receive at least one control signal from the second processor via the internet.
