Just read from Pushsquare and letsgodigital:
Sony Interactive Entertainment patents a multifunctional game controller that can be used at home and on the go. This device includes numerous interesting features, including a fingerprint sensor and heart rate monitor. It seems unlikely that Sony will design this rectangle shaped controller. However, some of these features might be used for the PlayStation DualShock 5 controller, meant for the upcoming PS5 console.
This little doodad can supposedly connect via Bluetooth/WiFi to multiple devices, such as a PC, games console, or smart TV, and it can transfer data between them. An example given by LetsGoDigital is that this controller-looking thing could beam a PC game to your TV to play it there instead of at the PC itself, or send photos or music from one to the other.
However, it goes further than that. What's most interesting about this patented gadget is its ability to provide the user with context-sensitive information, depending on your location. Options displayed on the device's screen will change if, say, you're out and about rather than at home. Examples given are that you may be able to view a map while you're outside, or fire up a game with a friend while you're at their house. Basically, it'll be able to pull relevant info for you instead of having one concrete set of options. With a fingerprint scanner, gyroscopes, a heart rate monitor and more, it sounds like it's full of functionality.
