Benefits of technology

[0007]It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an interactive playstation controller having an embedded integrated circuit and a physiological reaction sensing button set, such as a heartbeat sensor, a humidity sensor, a grip strength sensor and a voice sensor, disposed on a surface of the controller. Thus, the information of the player who is playing the game may be fed back to a game host and the game host responds with the information using a program so that the interactive effect during the game playing process may be enhanced, wherein the information includes the condition of the excitement of emotion, such as the heartbeat speed, the palm perspiring extent, the hand grip strength, and the voice.
[0008]To achieve the above-identified object, a controller is configured to include: a housing; a linear button set, which includes function keys, a mini steering wheel and two mini joy sticks, a mode-switching digital button set, a battery pack, a cable connector and a physiological reaction sensing button set disposed on an exterior of the housing; and an integrated circuit embedded in the housing. The physiological reaction sensing button set includes a heartbeat signal sensor, a humidity sensor, a grip strength sensor and a voice sensor so as to sense physiological condition variations of a player momentarily when the player is playing a game using the controller, and to feed the sensed variations back to a game host so that a program of the host properly responds with the sensed variations to achieve an object and an effect of man-machine interaction.

Problems solved by technology

However, these changes are made according to the story line of the game program, wherein the more difficult story line has to match with the more precise playstation and controller.
However, the controller seldom considers the mood or the body condition of the player who is playing the game.

Abstract

An interactive playstation controller includes a housing; a linear button set, a mode-switching digital button set, a battery pack, a cable connector and a physiological reaction sensing button set disposed on an exterior of the housing; and an integrated circuit embedded in the housing. The physiological reaction sensing button set includes a heartbeat signal sensor, a humidity sensor, a grip strength sensor and a voice sensor so as to momentarily sense body and physiological condition variations of a player when he or she is playing a game, and the sensed variations are fed back to a game host. Then, a program in the host properly responds with the sensed variations so as to achieve the object and the effect of man-machine interaction.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](1) Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to an improvement of a playstation controller, and more particularly to an interactive playstation controller.[0003](2) Description of the Prior Art[0004]In either the mainstream playstation or the non-mainstream playstation available in the market, the wonderful story line development and the body movement of the protagonist in the game or even various man-machine interaction procedures of exchanges of the properties are progressed through a controller connected to the playstation. A player may use his / her hand to control each function key so that the intention of the player is transferred to a host program, which generates different results after judgement and comparison. Thus, the playstation without the controller is like a vehicle, which only has an engine but has no wheel and steering wheel and cannot go anywhere. So, the controller is very important.[0005]As for the playstation, which is of...
