Qingdao Thunderobot Technology received 1 granted patent in H1 2026, covering Hardware (1).
The patent describes a cross-Platforms adapter that allows game controllers to function across different console systems, including Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. This Hardware technology incorporates programmable additional buttons and linear trigger mechanisms to expand gameplay control options.
On the Hardware side, 1 patent covers a middleware device that sits between a game controller and a console, translating proprietary communication protocols in real-time so that gamepads originally designed for one Platforms can operate on another. Beyond simple compatibility, the adapter supports programmable extension buttons that users can configure with linear key functionality, giving them control options that the original Hardware does not provide. The patent also describes conflict resolution logic that determines whether the physical controller or the extension buttons take priority in a given moment, along with the ability to modify controller instructions before they reach the console.
