Patent number: 10143929Abstract: A portable electronic device 100 includes a horizontally long casing, both ends of which are gripped by a user's both hands, respectively. The device further includes a LCD fit into the front face of the casing 10. Outwardly projecting bulges are respectively formed at both sides of the rear face of the casing where fingers of the user gripping the casing 10 placed. Since the fingers and palms are naturally flexed to fit to the dome-like bulges 42L, 42R, the portable electronic device 100 fits comfortably in the user's hands. The operability is hard to be degraded even if the device is vibrated strongly during a game play with the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Shinichi Ogasawara, Masayasu Ito, Hajime Ishihara, Nobutoshi Hamada, Shuuichi Miyazaki

Patent number: 8105169Abstract: A portable electronic device (100) has a long sideways housing (10) whose both ends are held by the hands of a user and an LCD fitted in the surface of the housing (10). Bulges (42L, 42R) projecting outward are formed on both end portions of the rear face of the housing (10), which both end portions being held by fingers of the user holding the housing. When the fingers and palms of user's hands are placed along the bulges (42L, 42R) with the fingers and palms bent naturally, the device fits the hands and operability is less likely to be impaired even the user violently moves in game play with the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2004Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Shinichi Ogasawara, Masayasu Ito, Hajime Ishihara, Nobutoshi Hamada, Shuuichi Miyazaki

Patent number: 7625286Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a casing provided with a display on its front face and having ends gripped by both hands of a user, and at least one LR-button provided on a side face of the casing. The LR-button includes: an elongated button body having seizing members on both ends, the seizing members contacting against an inner side of the casing to prevent the button body from being detached from the casing; a deformation member pressed by a back of the button body when the button body is pressed; and switch contacts electrically conducted due to the deformation of the deformation member. When one end of the button body is pressed, the button body pivots about a contact point where said seizing means provided on the other end of the button body comes into contact with the casing.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventor: Nobutoshi Hamada
