The user device may determine, based on the thermal data, its location in 3D space, and then transmit that location to the video game system.

An electronic appliance is provided. The electronic appliance includes a communication interface, a memory storing at least one instruction, and a processor which is connected with the memory and the communication interface and controls the electronic apparatus. Here, the processor may, by executing the at least one instruction, based on an event for reading extended display identification data (EDID) stored in the memory at an external apparatus connected through the communication interface occurring, toggle a first signal related to the communication interface, and after the first signal is toggled, monitor a signal output from the external apparatus and identify whether the external apparatus failed to read the EDID information, and based on identifying that the external apparatus failed to read the EDID information, toggle a second signal related to the communication interface.

Techniques for a controller mode for a mobile device are described and may be implemented to enable a mobile device to implement a controller mode. In the controller mode a controller graphical user interface is presented on the mobile device and is utilized to receive input to interact with application content communicated from the mobile device to a remote display device. Generally, the described implementations enable multiple controller triggers to be utilized to trigger a controller mode on a mobile device.

Managing input sensitivity of an information handling system, including performing a calibration and configuration of an input sensitivity management model, including: identifying contextual data associated with the information handling system, the contextual data including i) system characteristics of the information handling system and ii) o user characteristics of a user of the information handling system; identifying historic states of the information handling system, the historic states including for each state in time of the information handling system, inputs to the information handling system and outputs of the information handling system based on the inputs to the information handling system; training, based on the contextual data and the historic states, the input sensitivity management model for determining an input sensitivity of the inputs to the information handling system; performing, after performing the calibration and configuration of the input sensitivity management model, a steady-state monitoring of the information handling system.

Embodiments include a system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a current trigger during a video game and determining a group of players involved in the current trigger. Further embodiments include recording a trigger clip of game content for each player in the group of players resulting in a group of trigger clips. Each trigger clip of the group of trigger clips is a portion of game content that includes the current trigger from a perspective of each player of the group of players. Additional embodiments include providing the group of trigger clips to a group of gaming devices over a communication network. Each gaming device of the group of gaming devices is associated with one player of the group of players. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

A controller for a computer entertainment system including a control box (104) for executing and running a computer game and causing game footage to be displayed on a screen (510—FIG. 3), said control box (104) being configured to receive control signals representative of user manipulation of said game and dynamically adjust said game footage accordingly; said controller comprising a hand-held gamepad (102) and an inertial sensor (106), separate from and configured for data communication with, said gamepad (102); said hand-held gamepad (102) comprising at least one control input device and including a processor (114—FIG. 5) for generating control signals for manipulating a game running on said control box (104) in response to user manipulation of said at least one control input device and causing said control signals to be transmitted to said control box (104); said inertial sensor (106) being configured to be mounted in or on a user-worn garment such that user movement causes corresponding movement of said inertial sensor (106); said processor (114—FIG. 5) being further configured to receive signals from said inertial sensor (106) representative of user movement, convert said signals into control signals for manipulating said computer game, said control signals being of the same format as control signals generated in response to user manipulation of a respective control input device, and cause said control signals to be transmitted to said control box (104).

Systems, devices, and methods are presented for segmenting an image of a video stream with a client device by receiving one or more images depicting an object of interest and determining pixels within the one or more images corresponding to the object of interest. The systems, devices, and methods identify a position of a portion of the object of interest and determine a direction for the portion of the object of interest. Based on the direction of the portion of the object of interest, a histogram threshold is dynamically modified for identifying pixels as corresponding to the portion of the object of interest. The portion of the object of interest is replaced with a graphical interface element aligned with the direction of the portion of the object of interest.

The invention provides an improved controller (10) for a games console. The invention is a games controller (10) that is intended to be held by a user in both hands in the same manner as a conventional controller (1). Additionally, the controller of the invention (10) may comprise the same controls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) as a conventional controller (1). The controller of the present invention (10) is advantageous as it additionally comprises four additional controls (11 A, 11 B, 11C, 11 D) located on the rear of the controller (10) in a position to be operated by the middle fingers of a user (12). The additional controllers (11 A, 11 B, 11C, 11 D) may be paddle levers and may replicate the functions of one or more of the controls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) located on the front or top of the controller (10).
