20110227841 | ACTIONABLE-OBJECT CONTROLLER AND DATA-ENTRY ATTACHMENT FOR TOUCHSCREEN-BASED ELECTRONICS - A touchscreen-controller and data-entry ensemble are attached conterminously or proximately to a touchscreen device. A touchscreen-controller attachment device has one or more input ends and one or more output ends. The input and output ends may be opposite ends of unitary elements and/or may be remote from one another and connected by wire or wirelessly. Each input end of a unitary conductive element is connected to a respective output end and the plurality of output ends, residing in an attachment base, are in a position of contact with or in close proximity to the soft buttons, keys or controller(s) of a touchscreen. The output ends thus activate the touchscreen when the input ends are manipulated. A base maintains the input and/or output ends in fixed position during use. Input and output elements can be spring-mounted. New controllers offer the user haptic ability. | 09-22-2011 |

20120319989 | VIDEO-GAME CONTROLLER ASSEMBLIES DESIGNED FOR PROGRESSIVE CONTROL OF ACTIONABLE-OBJECTS DISPLAYED ON TOUCHSCREENS: EXPANDING THE METHOD AND BREADTH OF TOUCH-INPUT DELIVERY - Remote-controller assemblies for touchscreens provide for the capture, translation and/or transmission (both directly, in a conductive channel, and indirectly) of the control input of a user—user motions, thematically—for corresponding capacitive discharge at a touchscreen. A remote motion-sensing input device plurality register a user motion input or input plurality for respective output to an intermediary-transceiver device for processing and transmission of a capacitive load to attached output ends connected to a touchscreen. The attached output ends act as a capacitive input in controlling an on-screen actionable object or object plurality seeking said capacitive input. Various specialty controllers are introduced as mats, musical instruments, steering-wheel assemblies, hockey sticks, golf clubs, baseball bats and gloves, bowling balls and DJ stations. | 12-20-2012 |

20140139455 | ADVANCING THE WIRED AND WIRELESS CONTROL OF ACTIONABLE TOUCHSCREEN INPUTS BY VIRTUE OF INNOVATIVE ATTACHMENT-AND-ATTACHMENTLESS CONTROLLER ASSEMBLIES: AN APPLICATION THAT BUILDS ON THE INVENTOR'S KINDRED SUBMISSIONS - The application serves an eclectic mix of both wired (such as using a wired attachment interface for mapping an actionable object) and wireless (a system of attachmentless actuation ushered by software mapping) touchscreen controllers in an impetus to build on the inventor's previous discourse and to further highlight a continued theme of touchscreen controller innovation with this latest application entry. The inventor herein seeks to further revolutionize the face of touchscreen gaming by continuing with the theme of disclosing innovative touchscreen controller interfaces, and in so doing, the disclosure again attempts to quash many of the traditional limitations associated with a touchscreen's typical user interface; even introducing innovative serviceable User Interfaces that helps blur the lines of usability between touchscreen devices and competing platforms. A further injection of atypical controller interfaces are herein disclosed by the inventor in a continued attempt to break free from traditional applications. | 05-22-2014 |
20140168100 | VIDEO-GAME CONTROLLER ASSEMBLIES DESIGNED FOR PROGRESSIVE CONTROL OF ACTIONABLE-OBJECTS DISPLAYED ON TOUCHSCREENS: EXPANDING THE METHOD AND BREADTH OF TOUCH-INPUT DELIVERY - An innovative collection of both wired (e.g. a wired attachment interface for physical mapping) and wireless (e.g. a system of attachmentless actuation ushered by virtual or software-based mapping) specialty-input controllers for touchscreen devices are introduced by the inventor in emphasizing a continued theme of touchscreen controller innovation under common ownership. Remote-controller assemblies for touchscreens provide for the capture, translation and/or transmission (both directly, in a conductive channel, and indirectly) of the control input of a user—user motions, thematically—for correlative virtual actuation and/or capacitive-based discharge actuation at a coordinate touchscreen soft input for purposes of manipulating an actionable agent. | 06-19-2014 |
