BRN Discussion Ongoing

The Nintendo Switch retails for approximately $460 AUD. If we were to earn 0.5% royalties on each sold that would be approximately $2.30 AUD.
$2.30 X 150 million=$345,000,000.
Even if it was 0.25% it would still be a decent amount.

Fingers crossed

Nintendo is not giving away that much cash. Maybe $30 million. Not 345

US20250025779 - SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract
A system includes a controller operated by a user and one or more processors. The controller includes a plurality of pressable buttons that are independent of each other, a first sensor that detects pressing of at least one of the buttons, and a second sensor that detects approach or contact of a finger of a user to at least one of the plurality of buttons. When a movement operation to sequentially approach or contact at least two buttons with the finger of the user is performed, the one or more processors perform first processing based on an order of the buttons approached or contacted in the movement operation.

From GPT:

Nintendo's patent (US20250025779) describes an innovative controller system that integrates gesture-based input recognition using a combination of mechanical buttons and sensors. This system is designed to detect both traditional button presses and touch-based gestures, allowing users to perform sequential interactions without physically pressing the buttons.

Technology and Sensors Involved​

1. First Sensor (Mechanical Press Detection)
   • Detects button presses through mechanical switches or conductive rubber contacts.
   • Likely implemented using standard electrical contacts (e.g., conductive carbon pads on a PCB).
2. Second Sensor (Touch/Proximity Detection)
   • Detects when a finger approaches or lightly touches a button without pressing it.
   • Possible implementations include:
     • Capacitive Touch Sensors (similar to smartphone touchscreens).
     • Infrared Sensors (measuring reflected IR light for proximity detection).
     • Ultrasonic Sensors (using sound waves to sense distance).
3. Gesture Recognition via Sequential Button Interaction
   • The system detects ordered button touches to determine the intended input.
   • Supports clockwise vs. counterclockwise gestures for different actions.
   • Filters out accidental touches using timing thresholds.

Neuromorphic Potential​

A neuromorphic processor like BrainChip Akida could significantly enhance this system. Unlike conventional processors, neuromorphic chips process events asynchronously, only activating when needed. This provides:

• Power efficiency: No need for continuous polling of sensors.
• Adaptive learning: The system could learn user-specific input habits over time.
• Ultra-low-latency processing: Faster and more accurate gesture recognition.
• Improved filtering: Better distinguishing between intentional gestures and accidental touches.

Thankyou Uiux

Well I don’t know what the royalties are.

 

[Smoothsailing]

It would be absolutely fantastic if Akida was in Nintendo switch 2.

According to Wikipedia:

As of September 2024, the Nintendo Switch has shipped over 146 million units worldwide. It is Nintendo's best-selling home console and the third-best-selling game console of all time, behind the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS.

This would be something that would see Brn profitable over night.

Fingers crossed

Thankyou, unbelievable if true

Neither but it would be unlikely to be as high as you predicted.

The LDA Capital Agreement.....0.50 per share x 40 Million to be issued, unless we move the goal posts.

Question: The timing of the (out of the blue) announcement, and the stated price per unit, given where the share price
has been revolving lately, does anyone care to give an educated guess as to why ?....if something big (potentially) is cooking,
what's your best guess ?

Just interested to get a feel of the mood in the room.

Cheers and good morning....Tech.

Just thinking what will be the sp if there is 1-2 million royalty income in next quarterly?

I wasn’t predicting, I was taking a guess. And employing some wishful thinking

Not sure if Iam jumping at things yet at the 8.40 mark in the latest podcast Sean gives a couple hand gestures that look very much like Nintendo

Yes, but we can’t always blame others. We have a superior product recognized by professionals, best-in-class partners, the U.S. Air Force, and so on. We can’t keep seeing a rise before the quarterly reports and a dump right after. All the news about our products is positive, and market predictions are increasingly optimistic. So where’s the problem? We also can’t always blame everything on a lack of sales. On the stock market, they say people trade the future. Don’t get me wrong—I’m definitely positive and invested for the long term. But it’s getting frustrating that we constantly play into the hands of the short sellers.

It had been more than 4 years since megachips signed an IP with brainchip, before that they experiment a lot with the technology and even after signing an IP, they are instrumental in a lot of changes for brainchip ip. Nintendo is their biggest customer.
Even after spending so much money and effort if they cannot incorporate akida into switch 2 that will mean a question mark on megachips and brainchip's business acumen!

Hold on! The person who always criticises everyone else for not having a positive attitude has decided they are okay to have a few negative thoughts?
