Abstract

A game controller includes a first handle body. The first handle body includes a first operation interface, a first connection portion, a first control circuit, a first battery, and a first communication module. The first operation interface is electrically connected to the first connection portion. The first communication module includes a first wireless communication circuit and a first wired communication circuit. The first control circuit is electrically connected to the first communication module, the first battery, the first operation interface and the first connection portion. The first mobile device is disposed at a side of the first handle body. When the first mobile device is electrically connected to the first connection portion of the first handle body, the first control circuit turns on the first wired communication circuit of the first communication module to communicate with the first mobile device by the first connection portion.

Claims (21)

1. A game controller, being connected to a first mobile device, the game controller comprising:

a first handle body, including:

a first operation interface;

a first connection portion, the first operation interface being electrically connected to the first connection portion;

a first control circuit;

a first battery; and

a first communication module including a first wireless communication circuit and a first wired communication circuit, the first control circuit being electrically connected to the first communication module, the first battery, the first operation interface and the first connection portion;

wherein the first mobile device is disposed at a side of the first handle body; wherein, when the first mobile device is electrically connected to the first connection portion of the first handle body, the first control circuit turns on the first wired communication circuit of the first communication module to be communicated with the first mobile device by the first connection portion.

2. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein the first mobile device charges the first battery by the first connection portion.

3. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein, when the first mobile device is not electrically connected to the first connection portion, a first mobile communication module of the first mobile device is capable of being in communication with the first communication module.

4. The game controller according to claim 1 , further comprising a second handle body, the second handle body being coupled to the first handle body, the first mobile device being disposed between the first handle body and the second handle body.

5. The game controller according to claim 4 , wherein the second handle body includes:

a second operation interface;

a second connection portion, the second operation interface being electrically connected to the second connection portion;

a second control circuit;

a second battery; and

a second communication module including a second wireless communication circuit and a second wired communication circuit, the second control circuit being electrically connected to the second communication module, the second battery, the second operation interface, and the second connection portion.

6. The game controller according to claim 5 , wherein, when a power value of the first battery of the first handle body is lower than a predetermined power value, and the first handle body is electrically connected to the first mobile device by the first connected portion, the first mobile device charges the first battery, and the first control circuit turns off the first wired communication circuit and the first wireless communication circuit of the first communication module; wherein the second handle body is in communication with the first mobile device by the second wireless communication circuit of the second communication module.

7. The game controller according to claim 5 , wherein, when a power value of the second battery of the second handle body is lower than a predetermined power value, and the second handle body is electrically connected to the first mobile device by the second connection portion, the first mobile device charges the second battery, and the second control circuit turns off the second wired communication circuit and the second wireless communication circuit of the second communication module; wherein the first handle body is in communication with the first mobile device by the first wireless communication circuit of the first communication module.

8. The game controller according to claim 5 , wherein, when the first handle body is connected to the first mobile device, and the second handle body is connected to a second mobile device, the first handle body uses the first wireless communication circuit of the first communication module to communicate with the second wireless communication circuit of the second communication module for information transmission.

9. The game controller according to claim 8 , wherein the first handle body and the second handle body each include a display circuit to display information transmitted between the first handle body and the second handle body.
