Abstract: A human interface device (HID)-compatible portable gaming device includes a display; a position sensor; a joystick; and a processor in communication with the display, the joystick, and the position sensor. The processor has programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive a first signal from the position sensor indicating a change in orientation of the portable gaming device, receive a second signal from the joystick indicating a change in position of the joystick, assign a first weight to the first signal and a second weight to the second signal; aggregate the first signal with the second signal based on a weighted sum of the weighted first signal and the weighted second signal to obtain a third signal, and update a user interface on the display according to the third signal.

Abstract: A method for communicating interactive data between heterogeneous devices, comprising receiving, by an intermediary computing device via a first wireless interface from a first computing device, interactive data from at least one sensor of the first computing device; extracting, by the intermediary computing device, at least one data string from the received interactive data; encapsulating, by the intermediary computing device, the extracted at least one data string in a transport layer header; and transmitting, by the intermediary computing device via a second wireless interface to a second computing device, the encapsulated at least one data string, wherein the second computing device extracts the at least one data string from the encapsulated transmission and forwards the at least one data string to a virtual human interface device (HID) driver executed by an operating system of the second computing device.

Abstract: A portable gaming device includes a game console housing including a handle, a trigger, a screen holder, and a display device coupled to the screen holder. The display device includes a display. The portable gaming device also comprises a processing circuit internally coupled to the game console housing including a processor, a memory, and a network interface, wherein the processing circuit is in communication with the display device. The processing circuit generates a user interface to be displayed on the display, determines a position of the game console housing, and updates the user interface based on the determined position of the game console housing.

Abstract: A gaming controller includes a pedal system, and a communications interface. The pedal system is disposed on a rear facing portion of the gaming controller. The pedal system includes a pedal disposed along the rear facing surface of outer portions or wings of the gaming controller. The pedal has a first end proximate the elongated portion and an opposing second end spaced from the elongated portion. The pedal is coupled to a pivot point within the controller such that the pedal is selectively pivotable between a nominal position, a first position, and a second position. The communications interface is configured to facilitate transmitting inputs to the portable gaming device based on a current position of the pedal.

Abstract: A gaming controller includes a handgrip, an elongated portion, a pedal system, and a communications interface. The handgrip has a forward facing surface that defines an aperture. The handgrip defines a pivot point along the aperture. The elongated portion extends from the handgrip, forward of the forward facing surface. The pedal system is disposed within the aperture of the handgrip. The pedal system includes a pedal disposed along the forward facing surface of the handgrip. The pedal has a first end proximate the elongated portion and an opposing second end spaced from the elongated portion. The pedal is coupled to the pivot point of the handgrip such that the pedal is selectively pivotable between a nominal position, a first position, and a second position. The communications interface is configured to facilitate transmitting inputs to the portable gaming device based on a current position of the pedal.
