Abstract:
Various systems, game controllers, and methods for simulating various objects such as weapons are provided. For example, a game controller may include a trigger, a processor within the body that receives a trigger signal when the trigger is activated by the user. The processor may communicate with a computer running a software program such as a gaming application, and an actuator coupled to the trigger, the actuator configured to output a haptic effect to the trigger in response to receiving a control signal from the processor. The game controller may simulate a gun and generate a recoil effect. In some embodiments, the recoil effect may be generated by impacting a moving mass from a discharge end of the gun to a handle end of the gun. In some embodiments, the recoil effect may be generated by using a body part of a user as a tether.

Claim (Index 39):
The game controller of  claim 38 , wherein the processor is further configured to send sensor signals to a host computer, the sensor signals including at least the trigger signal and a position signal, and wherein the position signal includes information about game controller movement following trigger activation and is configured to influence a game outcome decision by the host computer.
