Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for sharing previously visited locations in a social network. A mobile computing device (for example, a smartphone) may be configured to receive and transmit a token to a server, the token including event information related to an event at a previously visited location. One or more candidate places of interest are then determined based on the event information, and provided for display to a user of the mobile computing device. The user selects one or more selected places of interest from the candidate places of interest, and the server provides, for display to one or more other users in a social network, a representation of the user and the selected places of interest.

Abstract: A video game controller for a video game operated by a steering wheel type of device comprises a base having an arcuate hand grip on an upper edge and a steering disc rotatably mounted on the front surface of the base adjacent the upper edge, such that the disc can be rotated with the operator's thumbs. The steering disc is connected to a variable output electronic signal generator, preferably a potentiometer, for transmitting a turning signal to a video game in response to rotation of the disc. Other controls, such as controls for acceleration, braking, clutch and gear shifting, are mounted on the back of the base plate and operated with the fingers. An offset weight mounted on the steering mechanism for rotation with the steering disc provides progressive gravitational feedback that urges the steering disc to return to a neutral position after a turn is completed.
