So, Sony is the next to be sued ?
PS Move does the same thing right ?

If that's the patent, then that's also not how the Wii Remote works.
6 point perspective is real...My head hurts.
Like science reports using colour gets you marked down n the patent world.Still laughing about that drawing.
Really, wtf? My 5 year old daughter could've made something similar, only colorful instead.
The woman/melting monster is icing on the cake. And that door... Amazing.
Ahahahhahahahaha, oh wait you are serious.
Yeah Philips is still around, we used to use their (often shitty) ECG machines at work before switching to a different manufacturer.

I'd be very surprised if Nintendo doesn't win this decisively, and it does make me wonder if this is preamble to what we should expect when their QoL stuff starts to show up.
Just going OT briefly as a Biomed, which ECG didn't you get on with?
This could be Nintendo's excuse to start fresh with a next gen console. It's still not too late.
Sony got enough revenge for both companies and then some.
Sorry for the late reply, they were Pagewriter Touches.
I suppose "shitty" was a poor choice to use, as there are a lot of things to like about them compared to some others out there, but we were always having issues with the damn things, ranging from frequent paper jams (even on brand new replacements) to closing the lid causing screen burnout, and even into software issues such as failure to load OS on startup, and touchscreen calibration requiring constant resetting. I'm glad to be rid of them even if I'll miss the nice big screens.
1. User interaction system, comprising:an electrical apparatus;a portable pointing device operable by a user for pointing to a region in space;a camera taking a picture, which camera is physically attached to the pointing device so that in operation it always images the region pointed to without imaging the pointing device;a distributed digital signal processor, the digital signal processor being capable of receiving and processing the picture, and capable of transmitting user interface information derived from the picture to the electrical apparatus;at least one localization beacon that emit electromagnetic radiation for use by the digital signal processor in order to recognize where the pointing device is pointing;wherein the digital signal processor estimates a motion or a motion trajectory of the pointing device; and,wherein said digital signal processor recognizes where the pointing device is pointing without utilizing any electromagnetic radiation emitted from the pointing device itself.

The perspective on that Escher doorway on the right hand side is doing bad things to my eyes and brain. And why does that woman (?) in the foreground appear to be melting? I mean, I know these diagrams just have to be functional and not particularly pretty, but I'm sure they could've found someone on staff who uses their hands to draw instead of holding the pen between their toes.
I wonder if the younger gamers can really appreciate why this picture in particular is as funny as it is considering the topic.
S¡mon;111988846 said:Yeah, they used to be quite big in consumer electronics (but that, obviously, is no longer the case). They are still one of the biggest, though, when it comes to creating medical devices.
Man, what really stings is that Bloomberg got it wrong and called the console "Wii units" instead of "Wii U."
Wonder what the settlement will be......
Another unprofitable year on the way for Nintendo potentially...

Instead of the Nintendo Wii-U it could be the Nintendo/Philips Pee-U.
"Wii Pee on U" has a nice ring to it.
UK was not buying WiiUs anyway so welcome your Philips overlords guys
Their TVs are great.I legit had no idea Philips still existed beyond the beard shaver market.
Bullshit. Patent was filed after the Wii was launched and doesn't even match up well.
Still sour about the CDi.

Wait, Nintendo lost this despite the Wii predating the patent? How is that even possible?
