The patent indicates “Photovoltaic elements” for sun -loading in the possible control design.
Sony has not officially confirmed this feature, which means it can never be implemented.

Sony was able to experiment with solar energy Playstation Controllers, according to a recent patent. If this unique Playstation function eventually emerges, it can relieve questions about regularly withdrawing checks during gaming sessions.

With the publishing of PS5 in November 2020, Sony introduced a new controller to follow the consolidation. Gamepad, which is known as the wireless dualsse, has some exciting techniques that enable more engulfing games. For example, it includes adaptive triggers that can change the tension depending on the situation in the game. Other PS5 Dualsense features are haptic feedback and motion checks, which contributes to the experience.

Sony works with PlayStation Controller with unique function

A new patent publication reveals an unexpected development of Playstation Controller, giving fans an insight into Sony's research.

As discovered by Tech4gamers, a Sony patent suggests that the company is experimenting with creating a controller that can be charged with sunlight. According to the description, the unit would use “Photovoltaic elements” in its design, which indicates some form of sun -loading. In addition, several charts included in the patent revealed a gamepad that looked like Dualsse PS5 Controller design. If implemented, this sun -loading function may allow a control unit to be charged without having to be connected.

Playstation solar energy controlled control unit patent concept

So far, Sony has not revealed that any official solar -powered control unit is in production, which means that this patent should be taken with a grain of salt. Companies often archive patents, and some of these will never be realized or have a different appearance when they are fully realized. However, the prospect of a controller that is charged with sunlight is exciting. Removing the requirement to connect the controller to charge can facilitate longer gaming sessions, as the existing dualsse has been criticized for battery life. That being said, it is unclear what type of lighting conditions would be needed for the function to function effectively.

This is just one of the potential features that Sony has revealed through patents. The company has introduced concepts for various functions in recent months. When it comes to checks, a recent Sony Patent revealed a rewind concept, which allowed players to book label parts of games. According to the patent, this would let players return to that part of the game at a later date. As with the solar energy -driven controller patent, it is unclear if this feature will ever be implemented.

As these patents suggest, Sony continues to look for ways to renew its Playstation products. Hopefully, what new functions that the company has in development will benefit players on the platform.
