In an aspect, a first controller module of a mobile device controller can be engaged with a first side of a mobile device of a user. A second controller module of the mobile device controller can be engaged with a second side of the mobile device. One or more mobile device controller characteristics associated with characteristics of the mobile device controller can be transmitted from the mobile device controller to the mobile device. A client application on the mobile device can be modified by a first data processor based on the one or more mobile device controller characteristics. The modified client application can be provided by the first data processor to the user in the mobile device, and the user can interact with the modified client application using the mobile device controller. Related systems, apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

A video game cartridge adapter is configured to enable a network connection so that a game executing on video game cartridge can be used online either locally or through the Internet or other wide area network. The adapter includes an integrated circuit with a communications device and a connector, the connector configured to be inserted into a port on a video game cartridge. The connector includes an RX ring in communication with a resistor, which is detected by a pull-down detection circuit at the video game cartridge. The adapter can include an external power supply port, an indicator light, and a reset button. The adapter can also include a current limiter circuit and a reverse voltage protection circuit.

Systems and methods for virtualized tangible programming are described. In an example implementation, a method includes detecting an object in image data, performing a comparison between the object and a predefined set of object definitions, recognizing the object as a visually quantified object or a visually unquantified object based on the comparison, processing a command region and a quantifier region for the visually quantified object and identifying a corresponding command, and executing a set of commands for the object.

Provided is an external structure configured to be attached to or detached from an electronic device having a concave portion formed on a surface of a housing, and a connection connector provided in a position of the concave portion receding from the surface of the housing, the concave portion having a cross-sectional shape enabling locking of the external structure, the external structure including a first fitting unit configured to be fitted to the connection connector.

A video game includes a component that senses the presence and identity of proximate toys. Each of the toys includes an identification device such as an RFID tag. Each of the toys is also associated with a corresponding game character or object. The toys further comprise audio, visual and other effects, wherein said effects are activated when the toy is proximate the gaming platform or a peripheral to the gaming platform. Effects may also be activated based on characteristics of the game character or aspects of the game play sequence thereby enhancing the user's gameplay experience.

A seat system includes a seat including a sensor configured to acquire information for detection of a motion of an occupant seated on a seat body, a terminal device configured to acquire the information from the sensor, and a server capable of communicating with the terminal device. The terminal device executes a game using the sensor based on the information, and acquires an execution result corresponding to the occupant for a game played by the occupant. The server generates integrated data by integrating execution results of the game acquired from another terminal device, and computes a reference value for execution results of the game based on the integrated data. The terminal device or the server assigns a difficulty level of the game for the terminal device based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value. The terminal device reflects the difficulty level on the game.

A game controller is provided. The game controller includes a first handle body. The first handle body includes a first control module, a first operation interface, a first connection portion and a second connection portion. The first connection portion is a male connector. The first handle body is connected to a mobile device through the first connection portion. The second connection portion is a female connector. The first handle body is connected to a second handle body through the second connection portion and a signal transmission wire. A first terminal and a second terminal of the signal transmission wire each includes a male connector.

A peripheral device adapted for connecting to a mobile device is provided. The peripheral device includes a main body, at least one connecting arm, and at least one control module. The main body includes a clamping unit to clamp a mobile device in place. One end of the connecting arm is movably connected to one side of the main body, the connecting arm is movable and close to the one side of the main body to be in a storage position, or extends away from thereof to be in an expanded position. Each of the control modules includes at least one input unit, and the control module is detachably connected to another end of the connecting arm. When the connecting arm is in the expanded position, the control module is electrically connected to the mobile device, so as to provide control thereof.
