[0035] The present invention provides a game controller for playing games in cooperation with an electronic device, where the electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 9 shown, the game controller includes a handle main body 10 and a handle accessory 30. The handle main body 10 has a front surface 11 and a back surface 12 opposite to each other. The front surface 11 is provided with a plurality of operation keys. The handle main body 10 is further provided with a data connector 21, and the data connector 21 is spaced on one side of the back surface 12 away from the front surface 11; the handle accessory 30 has a fixing structure, a shoulder key 31, and a wireless communication module. The shoulder key 31 is located at one end of the handle accessory 30; the game controller has a first game mode and a second game mode. In the first game mode (refer to Figure 7 ), the data connector 21 is used to be plugged into the data interface of the electronic device 40 to connect the handle main body 10 to the electronic device 40; in the second game mode (refer to Figure 1 ), the data connector 21 is plugged into the data interface of the electronic device 40, and the handle accessory 30 is fixed to the back of the electronic device 40 through the fixing structure, and the handle accessory 30 is wirelessly communicatively connected to one of the handle main body 10 and the electronic device 40 through the wireless communication module.

[0037] Specifically, a first circuit board is provided inside the handle main body 10, and both the data connector 21 and the operation keys are connected to the first circuit board. A second circuit board is provided inside the handle accessory 30, and both the first interface 32 and a plurality of shoulder keys 31 are connected to the second circuit board. Taking the electronic device 40 as a mobile phone as an example, in the first game mode, the data connector 21 is plugged into the data interface at the bottom of the mobile phone to connect the handle main body 10 to the electronic device 40, so that games can be played on the mobile phone through the handle main body 10.

[0038] In the second game mode, the data connector 21 is also plugged into the data interface at the bottom of the mobile phone, and the handle accessory 30 is fixed to the back of the electronic device 40 through a fixing structure. At this time, the handle accessory 30 is wirelessly communicatively connected to one of the handle main body 10 and the electronic device 40 through a wireless communication module, so that the shoulder button 31 on the handle accessory 30 can be used in cooperation with the operation buttons on the handle main body 10 to play games (the end of the handle accessory 30 where the shoulder button 31 is located can be kept away from the bottom of the mobile phone, that is, the operation buttons can be controlled by the thumbs of both hands, and the index fingers are located on the back of the mobile phone to control the shoulder button 31). Among them, the wireless communication module can be a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module or other communication modules.

[0039] When playing games, users can select a suitable game mode according to actual needs. For example, for games that can meet the operation needs by using the operation buttons on the front 11 of the handle main body 10, only install the handle main body 10 and use the first game mode to avoid the additional holding weight of the handle accessory 30 and improve the user's comfort. For some games with relatively complex operations, use the handle main body 10 and the handle accessory 30 together to improve the operation experience while ensuring stable holding. In the first game mode, the handle accessory 30 can be in an idle state.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention adopts a handle accessory 30 that is relatively independent of the handle main body 10, and a fixing structure, a shoulder button 31 and a wireless communication module are provided on the handle accessory 30, so that the shoulder button 31 is located at one end of the handle accessory 30. When in use, only the data connector 21 of the handle main body 10 can be plugged into the data interface of the electronic device 40 to connect the handle main body 10 to the electronic device 40, so as to play games on the electronic device 40 by using the handle main body 10. For some games with relatively complex operations, while plugging the data connector 21 of the handle main body 10 into the data interface of the electronic device 40, the handle accessory 30 can be fixed to the back of the electronic device 40 through its fixing structure, and the handle accessory 30 is wirelessly communicatively connected to one of the handle main body 10 and the electronic device 40 through a wireless communication module, so that the shoulder button 31 on the handle accessory 30 can be used in cooperation with the operation buttons on the handle main body 10 to play games. Compared with the first game mode that only uses the handle main body 10, the second game mode that uses the handle main body 10 and the handle accessory 30 together has more key positions, and the fingers located on the back of the mobile phone when holding the electronic device 40 can be used for operation, which can not only ensure stable and comfortable holding of the electronic device 40 during the game, but also realize more game operations, facilitate users to play games with relatively complex operations, and improve the game experience. Moreover, users can select a suitable game mode according to actual needs when playing games, which is convenient to use.

[0041] In some embodiments, a first interface 32 is provided at one end of the handle accessory 30 away from the shoulder button 31. The game controller further has a third game mode. In the third game mode (refer to Figure 9 ), the data connector 21 is plugged into the first interface 32 to connect the handle main body 10 and the handle accessory 30. Specifically, the first interface 32 is electrically connected to the second circuit board. When in use, the handle main body 10 and the handle accessory 30 can be combined together. At this time, the shoulder button 31 on the handle accessory 30 can be used in cooperation with the operation buttons on the handle main body 10 to play games. In this mode, the game controller can be used freely and is not restricted by the electronic device 40. Moreover, it can be adapted to different electronic devices 40. For example, it can be used to connect to a mobile phone to play games, or connect to a handheld game console to play games, or connect to a computer to play games, etc. The flexibility of use is high, which is convenient for users to choose according to actual needs.

[0042] In some embodiments, the fixing structure includes a magnetic attracting member, and the magnetic attracting member is used for magnetically fixing with the magnetic attracting structure at the wireless charging coil of the electronic device 40. It can be understood that currently, many mobile phones have a wireless charging function on the back, that is, a wireless charging coil and a magnetic attracting structure are provided on the back of the mobile phone. By providing a magnetic attracting member in the fixing structure and using the magnetic attracting member to magnetically fix with the mobile phone, not only can the structure of the handle accessory 30 be simplified, but also the disassembly and assembly between the handle accessory 30 and the mobile phone are facilitated, which is convenient for users to use. Among them, when in use, the user will hold the handle accessory 30 and the mobile phone with fingers and press the handle accessory 30 on the back of the mobile phone. Therefore, the magnetic attracting method can also ensure that the handle accessory 30 is stably fixed on the back of the mobile phone when playing games. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing structure includes two clamping members that are spaced apart along the width direction of the handle accessory 30 and slidably installed in the housing of the handle accessory 30, and a return spring (or motor driving mechanism) connecting the two clamping members, and the two clamping members are used to clamp on both sides of the mobile phone.

[0043] In some embodiments, the handle accessory 30 further has a storage battery and a charging component. The charging component and the wireless communication module are both electrically connected to the storage battery. The charging component is used to cooperate with the charging component (data interface or wireless charging coil) of the electronic device 40 for power transmission. Specifically, the charging component and the storage battery are both electrically connected to the second circuit board, and a charging circuit is provided on the second circuit board. When cooperating with the charging component of the electronic device 40 through the charging component, the storage battery can be used to charge the electronic device 40, and the handle accessory 30 is used as the handle accessory 30. In this way, the internal space of the handle accessory 30 can be fully utilized, making the functions of the handle accessory 30 rich. When setting the first interface 32, the first interface 32 is connected to the charging circuit, so that the storage battery can be charged through the first interface 32, and the handle main body 10 can also be powered through the first interface 32 in the third game mode. In the first game mode, the handle accessory 30 can charge other electronic devices.

[0044] Among them, the specific structure of the charging component is various. For example, in some embodiments, the charging component includes a wireless charging transmitting coil, which is used to cooperate with the wireless charging coil of the electronic device 40. That is, when the handle accessory 30 is fixed to the back of the electronic device 40 to play games, the wireless charging transmitting coil cooperates with the wireless charging coil of the electronic device 40, so that the electronic device 40 can be wirelessly charged. In this way, it avoids the situation that the data interface at the bottom of the electronic device 40 cannot be plugged in for charging when playing games in the second game mode, which greatly facilitates the user to use.

[0045] In other embodiments, the charging component includes a charging interface (not shown in the figure), and the electronic device 40 is charged by connecting the charging interface and the data interface at the bottom of the electronic device 40 through a power cord.

[0046] In some embodiments, the handle accessory 30 has a magnetic attraction area 37, and the magnetic attraction area 37 is located on one side of the handle accessory 30 for fitting the back of the electronic device 40. The wireless charging transmitting coil and the magnetic attraction member are both arranged corresponding to the magnetic attraction area 37.

[0047] In some embodiments, one end of the handle accessory 30 has a shoulder 34 and an extension 35. The extension 35 is located on one side of the shoulder 34 and protrudes compared with the shoulder 34. The shoulder button 31 is arranged on the shoulder 34. Specifically, the extension 35 extends from the shoulder 34 in a direction away from the end where the first interface 32 is located. By arranging the shoulder button 31 on the shoulder 34, when in use, the finger (such as the index finger) of the user for pressing the shoulder button 31 can be located between the shoulder 34 and the extension 35, so that the extension 35 separates the user's index finger from the back of the mobile phone, avoiding the situation that the user's index finger abuts against the back of the mobile phone and lifts the mobile phone (relative to the handle accessory 30), and can better clamp and fix the handle accessory 30 and the mobile phone, improving the use experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, at least one function key 351 is arranged on the side of the extension 35 adjacent to the shoulder 34. That is, the space on the extension 35 can be used to arrange the function key 351, with a compact structure and convenient for the user to operate. Among them, the function key 351 is located at a position on the extension 35 away from the shoulder 34 to reduce the risk of accidental touch. The function key 351 can be a power-on key or a pairing key, etc.

[0049] Optionally, an indicator light 352 is arranged on the side of the extension 35 adjacent to the shoulder 34. That is, the indicator light 352 can be used to prompt the state of the handle accessory 30 (such as the wireless connection state, the power-on / off state or the battery level state, etc.), which is convenient for the user to determine the use state of the handle accessory 30. Among them, the number of the indicator lights 352 can be one or more.

[0050] In some embodiments, the handle accessory 30 has two first side surfaces 36 which are oppositely arranged in the width direction of the handle accessory 30. The shoulder portion 34 has an arc portion 341 which gradually extends in the direction of the first interface 32 in the direction close to the first side surface 36 and extends to the first side surface 36. The arc portion 341 is provided with a shoulder button 31 which is arranged in an arc corresponding to the arc portion 341. Specifically, when in use, when the user's finger is placed at the position of the shoulder button 31, the finger is bent and presses on the shoulder button 31. By providing the arc portion 341 on the shoulder portion 34 and arranging the shoulder button 31 in an arc, it can better adapt to the state of the finger, conform to ergonomics, and improve the use comfort.

[0051] Optionally, the surface of the shoulder portion 34 and the surface of the extension portion 35 are connected to form a smooth arc surface.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least two shoulder buttons 31 are distributed at intervals in the width direction of the handle accessory 30. A second interface 33 is further provided at one end of the handle accessory 30 where the shoulder button 31 is located. The second interface 33 is located between two adjacent shoulder buttons 31 in the width direction of the handle accessory 30. Optionally, the second interface 33 is connected to the charging circuit on the second circuit board so as to be able to charge the energy storage battery through the second interface 33. When the energy storage battery is not provided, the handle accessory 30 can also be powered through the second interface 33. By arranging the second interface 33 between two adjacent shoulder buttons 31, even when the power cord is connected to the second interface 33 during the game, it will not affect the operation, which is convenient for the user to use.

[0053] In some embodiments, the handle main body 10 further has a flipping member 20. The data connector 21 is fixed to the flipping member 20. The flipping member 20 is rotatably installed on one side of the handle main body 10 and has a first state of being unfolded relative to the back surface 12 and a second state of being relatively close to the back surface 12. Specifically, in the first game mode and the second game mode, when the flipping member 20 is in the second state, the back surface of the handle main body 10 is attached to the screen 41 of the electronic device 40, and at this time, the game can be played normally. When the handle main body 10 is flipped so that the flipping member 20 rotates relative to the handle main body 10 to the first state, the handle main body 10 is away from the mobile phone screen 41. At this time, the mobile phone screen 41 can be used normally, and the phone call can be answered and the message can be replied without removing the game handle from the mobile phone. After answering the phone call and replying the message, only need to rotate the handle main body 10 so that the handle main body 10 is attached to the mobile phone screen 41 again to continue playing the game. In this process, there is no need to disassemble and assemble the game handle, which can keep the game handle fixed on the mobile phone all the time, greatly facilitating the user to use.

[0054] In some embodiments, an installation portion 14 is provided at the bottom of the handle body 10. The installation portion 14 protrudes relative to the back surface 12 and has an installation groove 143. The flipping member 20 is rotatably installed in the installation groove 143. That is, the installation portion 14 is fixed to the handle body 10, and the flipping member 20 is assembled to the installation portion 14. The installation portion 14 protrudes relative to the back surface 12. When installing the flipping member 20, a certain distance can be provided between the data connector 21 and the back surface 12 of the handle body 10, so as to ensure that the data connector 21 can be plugged into the mobile phone data interface when the back of the handle body 10 is attached to the mobile phone screen 41. In this way, the flipping member 20 can adopt a simple structure, and there is no need to set the flipping member 20 into a special-shaped structure to ensure a distance between the data connector 21 and the back of the handle body 10 when the flipping member 20 is in the second state, which can simplify the structure of the flipping member 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the flipping member 20 can also be set into an L-shaped structure, with one end of the flipping member 20 rotatably installed at the bottom of the handle body 10 and the other end provided with the data connector 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, the installation portion 14 includes two connecting portions 141. The two connecting portions 141 are spaced apart to form the installation groove 143 therebetween. That is, the flipping member 20 is rotatably installed between the two connecting portions 141. Compared with the way of recessing the installation groove 143 between the integral installation portions 14, the size of the installation portion 14 can be reduced in this way, which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the game handle.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 141 is provided with a shaft hole 142, and the flipping member 20 is provided with a rotating shaft 22. One end of the rotating shaft 22 is installed in the shaft hole 142 of one of the connecting portions 141, and the other end of the rotating shaft 22 is installed in the shaft hole 142 of the other connecting portion 141. Among them, the rotating shaft 22 can be fixed to the flipping member 20 and rotatably installed in the shaft hole 142; or the rotating shaft 22 is fixed in the shaft hole 142, and the flipping member 20 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 22; or the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably installed in the shaft hole 142, and the flipping member 20 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 22. Such a structure is simple and convenient for installation.

[0057] In some embodiments, an anti-slip gasket 15 is provided on the back surface 12. Specifically, the anti-slip gasket 15 can be made of a soft rubber material. When in use, the anti-slip gasket 15 contacts the mobile phone screen 41, which can not only achieve an anti-slip effect but also avoid scratching the mobile phone screen 41, and can better protect the mobile phone screen 41.

[0058] In some embodiments, a groove is provided on the back surface 12, and the anti-slip gasket 15 is arranged in the groove. The outer surface of the anti-slip gasket 15 is higher than the opening edge of the groove. Such a setting can improve the installation reliability of the anti-slip gasket 15 and reduce the risk of accidentally peeling off the edge part of the anti-slip gasket 15.

[0059] In some embodiments, the handle body 10 further has four side planes 161 and four side arc surfaces 162, and the four side planes 161 and the four side arc surfaces 162 are alternately distributed in sequence along the circumferential direction of the handle body 10. Specifically, both the side plane 161 and the side arc surface 162 are located between the front surface 11 and the back surface 12, and the side arc surface 162 is a convex arc surface, so that the positions corresponding to the four corners of the front surface 11 on the handle body 10 are rounded, which is convenient for the user to hold and operate.

[0060] In some embodiments, an arc surface 111 is formed at the edge portion of the front surface 11, and the arc surface 111 gradually extends towards the back surface 12 in the direction close to the outer side surface of the handle body 10. That is, the thickness of the peripheral portion of the handle body 10 is smaller than the thickness of the middle portion. During operation, the peripheral portion of the handle body 10 (i.e., the arc surface 111 portion) can play a better role in avoiding, preventing the peripheral portion of the handle body 10 from pressing on the user's hand, and improving the use comfort.

[0061] In some embodiments, one of the flipping member 20 and the handle body 10 is provided with a sensor, and the other is provided with a triggering member that cooperates with the sensor. The sensor is configured to send an electrical signal to the main control board when the flipping member 20 switches from the second state to the first state. Specifically, during the process of attaching the handle body 10 to the mobile phone screen 41 to play a game, if the flipping member 20 is switched from the second state to the first state, the sensor will send an electrical signal to the main control board, and the main control board communicates with the mobile phone according to this electrical signal to implement a pre-configured function (such as answering a call or opening an application program, etc.) on the mobile phone. For example, during the game, when a call comes in on the mobile phone or a message arrives in the communication software, it is possible to answer the call or open the communication software by flipping open the handle body 10, avoiding the situation where it is necessary to touch the screen again to answer the call or open the communication software after flipping open the handle body 10, which is convenient for the user to use. Among them, the sensor can be a Hall sensor or an optical sensor, etc.

[0062] In some embodiments, the data connector 21 is a USB Type-C male connector, so that it can be adapted to most mobile phones and has a wide range of applications.

[0063] In some embodiments, the front surface 11 has a first button area, a second button area, and a third button area. The first button area, the second button area, and the third button area are arranged in sequence in a direction away from the flipping member 20. Among the multiple operation keys, there are a cross button 132, four function buttons 131, two first buttons 133, two second buttons 134, and multiple control buttons 135. The multiple control buttons 135 are provided in the first button area and are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The cross button 132 and the four function buttons 131 are provided in the second button area. The four function buttons 131 are arranged in a rhombus shape and are spaced on the left or right side of the cross button 132. The two first buttons 133 and the two second buttons 134 are both provided in the third button area and are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The two first buttons 133 are arranged corresponding to the cross button 132, and the two second buttons 134 are arranged corresponding to the four function buttons 131.

[0064] Specifically, the four function buttons 131 can be respectively an A button, a B button, an X button, and a Y button. The two first buttons 133 can be respectively an L1 button and an L2 button. The two second buttons 134 can be respectively an R1 button and an R2 button. The multiple control buttons 135 can be respectively a back button, a home button, a power on / off button, and so on.

[0065] Through the above button arrangement, while enabling a relatively large number of buttons and a complete function of the game handle, the occupied space of the multiple operation keys in the front-rear direction of the handle body 10 (i.e., the front-rear direction is perpendicular to the left-right direction and the thickness direction of the handle body 10) can be reduced. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the game handle and reduces the occlusion of the mobile phone screen 41.

[0066] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
