Embodiment Construction

[0021]FIG. 1 shows an example of an interactive computer graphics system 50. System 50 can be used to play interactive video games with interesting stereo sound. It can also be used for a variety of other applications.

[0022] In this example, system 50 is capable of processing, interactively in real time, a signal in response to real time inputs from wireless handheld controllers 52a, 52b or other input devices received by a wireless adaptor 68. The wireless adaptor 68 provides the capability of sending and receiving wireless control signals between the game console 54 and the controllers 52a, 52b

[0023] To play a video game or other application using system 50, the user first connects a main unit or game console 54 to a television set or other video display device 56 or other display device by connecting a cable 58 between the two. Game console 54 produces both video signals and audio signals for controlling the video display device 56. The video signals are what controls the image...

Abstract

A wireless computer game controller with integrated audio system that sends and receives audio signal via integrated circuitry provided in the controller. The wireless interface (transmitter/receiver) establishes a communication link to facilitate the transmission of both command signals and audio/video signals between the controller and computer device to thereby provide two-way interaction with the stand-alone computer device within a single accessory device. The controller circuitry also incorporates a speaker or headphone jack to deliver audio stimulation. In the preferred embodiment, the controller sends an audio signal to an ear piece where the ear piece includes a separate microphone to transmit audio to a separate receiver or a third party.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 659,106, which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the invention [0003] The present invention relates to video game controllers and more specifically to a wireless controller with integrated audio system for providing an interactive video game. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Computer video games are well known in the art. Such devices range from small hand held all-in-one units, to larger stand-alone units which interact with stand alone controllers and stand alone video display devices. Small hand held devices are very portable. However, the graphics and sophistication game play are substantially inferior to stand alone units due limited processing power and associated peripherals. For more sophisticated play, stand alone computer units provide tremendous processing power and work with associated peripheral devices, such as a remote contr...
