Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to video gaming systems, which utilize a video game controller in electronic communication with a computing device. One embodiment includes a video gaming system, including a pair of video game controller input modules non-removably secured to a rigid, fixed length bridge section, a smart device holder attached to the rigid, fixed length bridge section, and a smart device secured by the smart device holder such that an entire back surface of the smart device lies fixed in a plane, wherein said plane is parallel to a front surface of the rigid, non-expandable bridge section.
Claims6
A mobile video gaming system comprising:
- a smart device, said smart device presents a fixed length greater than its width, said smart device further provides a communication port, said communication port provides a plurality of contacts;
- a first video game control module provides a connector, said connector is in electronic communication with said communication port, thereby facilitating passage of data and power between said first video game control module and said smart device, said connector of said first video game control module provides a plurality of separate contacts, wherein each separate contact is in electronic communication with its corresponding video game controller communication port contact of said smart device, said first video game control module further provides a processor said processor comprising a computer portion, a memory portion, and an operating system detection firmware program embedded in said processor, said processor in electronic communication with said plurality of contacts of said communication port of said smart device, wherein said processor detects an operating system of said smart device as a detected operating system of the smart device based on queries of at least one separate contact of said plurality of separate contacts of said connector of said first video game control module;
- a second video game control module in electronic communication with said first video game control module, wherein said second video game control module provides a hinged hatch and a latch, said hinged hatch interacts with said latch to confine said smart device within said first video game control module, and said second video game control module;
- and
- a strap disposed between and secured directly to each said first video game control module and said second video game control module, said first video game control module coupled to said second video game control module forms a game controller.
