Sony TouchEngine patent reveals multi-purpose touch-screen control
The Sony HQ in Japan recently filed a patent for “TouchEngine” which, from what it seems, could be used in a variety of hardware ranging from, mobile phones, gaming controllers, to audio/video media devices. With the PSP Go and the PS3 motion controller well on their way, will this pave the way for Sony’s next piece of hardware? More details after the jump.

Sony hardware, quite possibly. But if TouchEngine will have anything at all with the PlayStation brand is another story. It was Sony HQ that filed the trademark, not SCE, so this one can fall under any or some of Sony’s many businesses.
There can be many possibilities as to what TouchEngine may turn out to be – possibly a multi-purpose touch-screen controller for media devices, or a form of touch-screen technology to be used in Sony’s next line of gadgetry. Theories, anyone?
