  • Systems and methods for creating priority-based regulated network interlinks between electronic devices
    Patent number: 11595265
    Abstract: A system and method for creating priority-based regulated network interlinks between electronic devices is disclosed. The system receives a communication request from a first device to communicate with a second device and identifies whether the first device is comprised within a primary affinity group associated with the second device. If the first device is not found in the primary affinity group one or more secondary affinity groups are identified, each secondary affinity group associated with an electronic device different than the first and second devices. Based on scoring of each secondary affinity group, handling criteria for the communication object is determined and used to create a network interlink between the first device and the second device.

  • Game and home entertainment device remote control
    Publication number: 20020097229
    Abstract: Home entertainment devices may be controlled and on-screen games played with a single controller. At least one gesture by a user is made on a touch pad. If the gesture was made for controlling the home entertainment device, at least one control signal is generated for the home entertainment device based on the gesture. If the gesture was made for playing a game, a game activity based on the gesture is performed and the results displayed on a display screen.

  • Shape adaptable resistive touchpad
    Publication number: 20080018609
    Abstract: A touchpad includes a first substrate and a second substrate, at least one of which is flexible. A resistor on the first substrate has a narrow shape dividing the first substrate into two regions. A set of conductors in electrical contact with the resistor extend from the resistor into the two regions. A second resistor and at least one second substrate conductor in electrical contact with the second resistor are on the second substrate. This construction allows the touchpad to have an outer shape is not restricted by the need for rectangular coordinates.
