Samsung patents system that builds custom game controls for remote devices
Samsung has filed a patent for an electronic control system that automatically creates a custom on-screen keyboard or button layout for any app. The system reads the app's screen to identify its type, then generates the appropriate control interface and sends it to a separate device, such as a smartphone or remote.
