Problems solved by technology

Therefore, if the mouse firmware or mouse device driver has been reconfigured based on output signals with modified or updated button-to-signal mappings, game action assignment errors and keybinding mismatches may occur in response to mouse button presses
In such cases, pressing a specific mouse button may not complete the desired game action, or may perform an unwanted game action, adversely affecting game operation

Embodiment Construction

[0034] Various embodiments of the invention relate to specific systems, devices, user interfaces, methods, processes and / or techniques for selectively and dynamically establishing or maintaining physical input device controls or control elements with specific application operations, functions , actions, action sequences, and / or action keys. can be selectively and seamlessly established and maintained within the execution context of an application such as a game, in a manner that allows for configuration, reconfiguration, programming or reprogramming of firmware and / or device drivers corresponding to the relevant input devices Such relationships, where such reconfigurations may take place outside of the execution context of said application. As described in detail below, various embodiments of the present invention facilitate the creation of a graphical user interface (GUI) for visually establishing and maintaining physical input device control elements and application operatio...

Abstract

Disclosed are single or unified execution context systems and processes for managing relationships between physical input device controls and application program actions in a manner that automatically accommodates firmware and / or device driver configuration operations. A process involves establishing an application program execution context; establishing a relationship (e.g., graphically) between a first physical input device control element and a first user-selectable action; and automatically maintaining the relationship between the first physical control element and the first user-selectable action such that the first user-selectable action is consistently initiated in response to user interaction with the first physical control element independent of an input device firmware or device driver reconfiguration that may change a control element signal generated by the first physical control element. Input device control element - application program action relationships can be established and / or maintained within an application program's execution context.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for associating input device control elements with one or more application actions. Specifically, aspects of the invention relate to a system and method for graphically establishing the relationship between a physical input device control element and a set or sequence of application actions or actions within the execution context of an application, and The relationship is maintained in a consistent manner throughout the execution of the application. Background technique [0002] Modern video games typically operate on a computing system such as a desktop or laptop computer. Depending on the nature of a particular game, user interaction or game play may involve a single stand-alone computer system, or a networked computer system that facilitates game play by multiple users. For Internet-based massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, there may be hundreds or even thousands of users or play...
