Abstract
An electronic device may be configured to present a user interface via which a user can select from a plurality of commands associated with a particular video game. In response to a selection of one of the plurality of commands, the electronic device may transmit the selected one of the plurality of commands to a user interface device. The selected command may cause said user interface device to transmit a corresponding one or more simulated user inputs to a game console. The selection of the command may occur automatically in response to detection, by audio processing circuitry, of an occurrence of the particular audio clip in an audio signal output by the game console.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an electronic device configured to:
- present a user interface via which a user can select from a plurality of commands associated with a particular video game;
- and
- in response to a selection of one of said plurality of commands, transmit said selected one of said plurality of commands to a user interface device, wherein:
- said selected one of said plurality of commands causes said user interface device to transmit a corresponding one or more simulated user inputs to a game console associated with said video game, and is associated with a particular audio clip from said video game;
- and
- said selection of said one of said plurality of commands occurs automatically in response to detection, by audio processing circuitry, of an occurrence of said particular audio clip in an audio signal output by said game console.
A method comprising:
- in an electronic device of a gaming peripheral network:
- presenting a user interface via which a user can select from a plurality of commands associated with a particular video game;
- and
- in response to a selection of one of said plurality of commands by a user of said electronic device, transmitting said selected one of said plurality of commands to a user interface device, wherein:
- said selected one of said plurality of commands causes said user interface device to transmit a corresponding one or more simulated user inputs to a game console associated with said video game, and is associated with a particular audio clip from said video game;
- and
- said selection of said one of said plurality of commands occurs automatically in response to detection, by audio processing circuitry, of an occurrence of said particular audio clip in an audio signal output by said game console.
A headset comprising one or more speakers, a transmitter, and audio processing circuitry, wherein:
- said audio processing circuitry is operable to:
- process an audio signal received from a game console for output via said one or more speakers;
- detect, in said audio signal, an occurrence of a particular video game audio clip;
- and
- in response to said detection, trigger a transmission, via said transmitter, of a command associated with said particular video game audio clip, wherein said command instructs a user interface device to transmit a corresponding one or more simulated user inputs to said game console.
