Controller Driver |
Conventional controllers for most game consoles are intended to be held and operated by the user using both hands. A conventional controller will generally comprise a hard outer case with a plurality of controls mounted about the controller. Typically the controls include buttons, analogue control sticks, bumpers, and triggers. An example of a conventional controller is shown in
As can be seen in
The only way to operate the four buttons 4 is for the user to remove his or her right thumb from the right thumb stick 3. This takes time and, in some games, can cause a loss of control. This is a particular problem in games where the right thumb stick 3 is used for aiming. A similar problem may arise in games where the direction pad 5 provides additional actions and the user has to remove his or her thumb from the left thumb stick 2 in order to operate the direction pad 5.
In light of the above, there is a need for an improved controller which removes the need for a user to remove his or her thumb from the left or right thumb stick 2, 3 in order to operate additional actions controlled by the four buttons 4 and/or the direction pad 5.
The present invention provides a hand held controller for a video game console having a hard outer case and a plurality of controls located on the front and top edge of the controller. The controller is shaped to be held in both hands of the user such that the user's thumbs are positioned to operate controls located on the front of the controller and the user's index fingers are positioned to operate controls located on the top edge of the controller. The controller further includes one or more additional controls located on the back of the controller in a position to be operated by the user's other fingers.
In one embodiment, each additional control is an elongate member which is inherently resilient and flexible such that it can be displaced by a user to activate control function.
Preferably, each elongate member is mounted within a respective recess located in the case of the controller.
Preferably, each elongate member comprises an outermost surface which is disposed in close proximity to the outermost surface of the controller such that the user's finger may be received in said respective recess.
Preferably, each elongate member has a thickness less than 10 mm thick, more preferably less than 5 mm thick, and most desirably between 1 mm and 3 mm.
Preferably, there are two additional controls which are elongate members that are parallel to each another. In another embodiment, the elongate members converge towards the front end of the controller with respect to one another.
Optionally, a portion of each of the elongate members is in registry with a switch mechanism disposed within the controller, such that displacement of the elongate member activates the switch mechanism.
Optionally, a switch mechanism is disposed between the elongate members and an outer surface of the controller.
The controller of the present invention may be very similar to controllers according to the prior art. In particular, the outer case of the controller and the type, number and positioning of the controls located on the front and top edge of the controller may be the same as a controller according to the prior art, as described above and as illustrated in the figures.
The controller of the present invention is particularly advantageous over controllers according to the prior art as it comprises one or more additional controls located on the back of the controller in a position to be operated by middle fingers of a user. The additional controls may either replicate the functions of one or more of the controls located on the front or top edge of the controller or provide additional functionality.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the additional controls replicate the function of a control located on the front of the controller. This means that a user does not need to remove his or her thumb from one of the thumb sticks in order to operate the buttons and/or direction pad located on the front of the controller and can instead perform the function by manipulating an additional control located on the back of the controller with a finger.
Alternatively, the additional controls may provide additional functionality in that they do not replicate the function of controls located on the front or top of the controller but may perform different functions. In this manner a controller according to the present invention may provide more functions than prior art controllers.
Preferably, the controls located on the back of the controller are paddle levers. Suitable paddle levers may be formed integrally with the outer case of the controller or may be substantially separate from the outer case. This may be done in any manner apparent to the person skilled in the art. However, it is to be appreciated that the additional controls may comprise any other control suitable for use by a hand held controller.
Advantageously, if the additional controls are paddle levers, they will be formed such that they are substantially vertically aligned with respect to the controller. This may allow the most ergonomically efficient activation of the paddle levers by the middle fingers of the user.
Further features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the specific embodiment illustrated in the drawings and discussed below.
The particular embodiment described below and illustrated by
The game controller 10 according to the present invention is illustrated in
Game controller 10 differs from the conventional controller 1 in that it additionally comprises two paddle levers 11 located on the back of the controller. The paddle levers 11 are vertically orientated with respect to the controller 10 and are positioned to be operated by the middle fingers of a user 12, as shown in
In one embodiment the paddles 11 are formed from a thin flexible material such as a plastics material for example polyethylene. Preferably, the paddles 11 are less than 10 mm thick, but may be less than 5 mm thick, and more preferably are 3 mm thick or less.
The paddles 11 are inherently resilient, which means that they return to an unbiased position when not under load. A user may displace or depress either of the paddles 11 by engaging an outer surface thereof; such displacement causes the paddle 11 to activate a switch mechanism mounted within the body of the controller 10. The paddles 11 are mounted within recesses located on the case of the controller 10; and are disposed in close proximity to the outer surface of the controller body. In this way a user may engage the paddles 11 with the tips of the fingers, preferably the middle fingers, without compromising the user's grip on the controller 10. While the example shows the paddles 11 engaged by the middle fingers, they could also be engaged by the index, ring, or little fingers. The index fingers may also engage trigger style controls mounted on the top edge of the controller 10 while the thumbs may be used to activate controls on the front of the controller 10.
The paddles 11 are elongate in shape and substantially extend in a direction from the top edge to bottom edge of the controller 10. In one embodiment the paddles are orientated parallel with each other. In an alternative embodiment the paddles are orientated such that they converge towards the top edge with respect to each other. This elongate shape allows a user to engage the paddles with any of the middle, ring, or little finger; it also provides that different users having different size hands can engage with the paddles in a comfortable position thereby reducing the effects of prolonged or repeated use such as repetitive strain injury.
In one embodiment, the paddle levers 11 replicate the functions of two of the four buttons 4 located on the front of the controller 10 and thereby allow a user to operate the functions of the relevant buttons using his or her middle fingers 12, without the need to remove either of his or her thumbs from the left or right thumb stick 2, 3. In alternative embodiments a paddle lever 11 may activate a new function not activated by a control on the front or top edge of the controller 10.
It is envisaged that the paddles 11 could be fitted to an existing controller 10. In such embodiments the paddles would be mounted on the outer surface of the controller body by means of a mechanical fixing such as a screw or bolt or alternatively bonded or welded to the controller body by adhesive or other suitable means. A switch mechanism would be mounted within the controller in vertical registry with a portion of each paddle. A portion of the switch mechanism may extend through the controller body and be disposed in close proximity or in contact with an innermost surface of the paddle 11.
In alternative embodiments it is envisaged that the paddles 11 would be integrally formed with the controller body, the paddles 11 being configured to be resilient and flexible such that they can be depressed by a user to activate a switch mechanism. This could be achieved by moulding the controller body to have a U-shaped slot extending through the controller body; alternatively a U-shaped slot could be cut into the controller body after the moulding process.
Preferably, the paddles 11 would comprise a raised outermost surface with respect to the surrounding area such that a user may locate the paddles 11. This may be achieved by moulding the paddle such that is thicker than the surrounding area. It will be recognised that as used herein, directional references such as “top”, “bottom”, “front”, “back”, “end”, “side”, “inner”, “outer”, “upper”, and “lower” do not limit the respective features to such orientation, but merely serve to distinguish these features from one another.
Modifications and variations of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the forgoing detailed description. All modifications and variations are intended to be encompassed by the following claims. All publications, patents, and patent applications cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
