A game controller for a mobile device that includes a first handle, a first bumper, and a first switch. The first handle is configured to contact and support a mobile device. The first bumper is coupled to the first handle. The first bumper is configured to accept touch inputs. The first bumper includes a pivot rod at a first end of the first bumper that is configured to engage a track slot of the first handle. The pivot rod is configured to rotate within the track slot and to translate within the track slot. The first bumper further includes a plunger at a first-span distance from the pivot rod. The first switch is within the first handle and is configured to be activated by touch inputs to the first bumper. The plunger of the first bumper is configured to contact and impart a force to the first switch.

Provided are a context-aware model generating method, an important event determining method, and an in-game context management server for performing the same methods. The context-aware model generating method includes generating a context-aware model which determines whether an important event of a video game occurs by using in-game data, utterance data, and chat data collected from the video game capable of being broadcasted as a sports game video. The important event determining method includes combining candidate events predictable from each of the in-game data, the utterance data, and the chat data based on the context-aware model, and determining, as an important event, a candidate event including a duplicate game content among candidate events.
