Ever wondered that if you had a way, you could connect the Sixaxis of your PS3 to your PSP? Don’t worry as it has emerged that Sony has filed an application with the US Patent Office for an apparatus, which seems to connect a wireless Sixaxis to the bottom of a PSP handheld console.
This is what was featured on the official website of the US Patent Office:
- A control docking unit configured to accept a portable processing unit and provide alternate control operation of the portable processing unit. The control docking unit can be configured to position a display on the portable processing unit to facilitate use of one or more controls provided on the control docking unit. The control docking unit can position the display of the portable processing unit in a fixed or variable position.
The controls from the docking unit can be coupled to the portable processing unit using an electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical interface. The electrical interface can be a wired or wireless communication link. The controls on the control docking unit can be configured to be substantially in the same configuration as a control unit for a similar fixed device. The portable processing unit can be configured to provide additional functions, features, or enhanced operation when coupled to the control docking unit.
Besides the above mentioned description, the webpage also has a lot of other accounts which describe many other descriptions about this particular product that have been filed by Sony. There is still no clarification whether this interface will be used for PS3 games also. As usual, representatives from SCEA were not available for comment regarding the patent.
