Publication number: 20040204242Abstract: This present invention relates to a button control for use in game controllers. When the button is pressed down, the angle and magnitude of the force of each depression will determine the amount of contact between the conducting jell and the resistor strip or the conducting tracks located on the printed circuit board and thereby determine the magnitude of the output signals so as to gain greater game control. Further, when said resistor strip is made a cut-open, discontinuous structure, then when the conducting jell begins to press on the resistor strip, the resistance changes from infinite resistance to maximum resistance to facilitate reading of button control status.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2003Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventor: Chiu-Hao Cheng

Publication number: 20030092488Abstract: The visual feedback system of this invention places a display device in between a game console and a game controller. Through video synthesizing circuitry, the display device captures motion signals from the game controller and vibrating signals generated during the game to produce a video signal that can be further combined with the video signal transmitted by the game console. Finally, the video synthesizing circuitry sends the combined video signal to the screen for display. In this way, the user no longer has to keep an eye on the information given by the game controller. Adding to the existing sense of touch provided by the original controller, the user can further experience a visual feedback effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2002Publication date: May 15, 2003Applicant: ZEROPLUS TECHNOLOGY CO., L.T.D.Inventor: Chiu-Hao Cheng
