With the data of 31 March, patently Apple posted a report titled that they are inventing future game controllers that can be grandly attached to a device and include smart foldable carrying cases. Also, they state that the good results of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Death Stranding, and Resident Evil Village make their way onto the latest Apple devices.

Further, it was revealed that WWDC24 and loads of AAA titles are set to launch in the coming months. So, users with more gaming options could benefit from the coming of triple-A games. 

What Today’s Guarantee Patents Cover?

The first style covers the attached game controller and handles for iPhone and iPad, as given in patent FIGS. 6A, 6 B, 6F, and 6J below. Similarly, the second style of game controller relates to the iPhone gaming folio, where Apple shares a number of concepts that the engineering team has won. It includes a full or partly secondary display that provides gamers with messages about the game. 

With this, users can easily identify whether their gaming character is low in health or the user is receiving a text, email, or real-time call from friends, families, or business associates. Also, it accepts other players who want to join the multiplayer game.

Input device #610 has been unfolded into its mounted position and is accessible at a respective angle. Also, in some embodiments, the iPad includes display information from the cover device, e, i, devic#500. Additionally, the iPad includes $614a and a plurality of action buttons $164b in the gaming accessory option. 

Also, the iPad includes a display generation component like a display screen, a touch screen, and a projector. It receives display information from the cover device (#500) and user interference. Apple also noted that in some implementations, an electronic device displaying respective user interference has covered a portion of the electronic device. 

Also, in some devices, an electronic device projects user interference via a projection device or remote input device. So, these techniques can improve the efficiency of providing inputs to different interferences, which depend on the mode of operation of a remote input device. 

Apple, too, explained that the respective input device projects the desired user interface onto a wall behind a television. So, displaying the respective user interface as a projected user interface on a nearby surface places it at an accessible distance. This will enhance user-device interactions and reduce usage errors.

So, I hope the above information is best acknowledged. For further details, especially Apple dice deep, read granted patent 12028474.

My11Circle has made headlines in the recent auction for being official partners by bidding Rs 125 crores per year for a period of five years. The auction was done on Wednesday (February 21st, 2024), in which My11Circle surprised many people by outbidding Dream11 as the official partner of IPL for the next five years. It was surprising because Dream11 is the leading fantasy sports platform in India. Also, Dream11 has been involved with BCCI and IPL for a long time.

Dream11 was also involved in the auction and bid Rs 103 crores per season for the upcoming five years. Unfortunately, it lagged behind My11Circle by Rs 10 crores to become the official partner of IPL for 5 years. My11Circle has been competing with Dream11 to succeed in the fantasy sports gaming market for many years.

Sourav Ganguly, former captain of the Indian cricket team, is the brand ambassador of My11Circle, which is one of the main reasons for the popularity of this platform. Now that My11Circle has become the official partner of IPL for 5 years, its popularity will increase further, and it can come ahead in the competition of fantasy sports.

There are 6 categories of official partners in the IPL, but only one company can be signed for a specific category. Dream11 has gained immense popularity from the IPL, but this time, My11Circle has won the bid for 5 years in the fantasy sports category.

In the online category, Angel One Broking became the official partner of the IPL for 5 seasons by bidding Rs 82 crores per season. Groww was the second-top bidder in this category, offering Rs 76 crores per season. Rupay was selected as the official partner of the IPL for the financial cards category by bidding Rs 70 crores per season for three years. There was no competition in this category because no other companies were involved in bidding.

CEAT will continue its sponsorship of the strategic time-out for the next five years, and it will pay BCCI Rs 48 crores per season. CEAT is already the sponsor of the strategic time-out in the IPL, and it did not face any competition this time to become the sponsor again.

Three official partners of IPL have not been finalized yet because there was no bidder. Aramco and Saudi Tourism were invited for the bidding, but they were abstained. They are the top sponsors of the IPL, and there is still a possibility for them to collaborate with the BCCI. Other brands can also come forward to become the official partners of the IPL in the purple cap, orange cap, and umpires category.

The listed gaming and hospitality firm, Delta Corp Limited, has sold its entire stake to Kolkata-based gaming company Ability Games (operator of gaming website 11wickets, promoter of online game development company Yudiz Solutions and sports-content platform Crictracker) and Ashtek Consultancy Private Limited. The sale is valued at a total value of Rs 80 crores, including Rs 18 crores of parent debt and Rs 62 crores of equity value. The sale agreement was finalized on 20th February this year and is expected to be completed by 8th March. Even after the completion of the deal, Deltin Nepal Private Limited will continue using the “Deltin Casino International” and other related trademarks for a transition period of two years.

Delta Corp’s move comes at a time when the Indian gaming industry is reeling under the hefty 28% GST. The implementation of 28% GST from October 2023 is one of the main challenges for the companies in the Indian casino industry. Delta Corp and its subsidiaries are currently facing GST show-cause notices worth over Rs 23,000 crores from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). The High Courts of Calcutta, Bombay (Goa Bench) and Sikkim have however granted interim relief to the brand against any coercive steps in the matters. However, the final verdict in these proceedings is yet to come. 

Delta Corp faced these challenges in its strategic planning when it was aiming to expand its real estate business in Goa and Mumbai. For this, Delta Corp is planning to collaborate with Peninsula Land Limited and will invest around Rs 250 crores. This plan of diversifying their business ventures seems to be the reason for finalizing this deal. However, according to Delta Corp Limited, the goal here is to optimize its portfolio and enhance its shareholder value.

Glance At The Key Details Of The Deal

Companies involved in this deal have made an agreement on 20th February, and if everything goes as planned, the deal will be completed on 8th March 2024. Delta Corp Limited is set to receive Rs 62 crores from the sale. The amount shows a possibility of a profitable Return On Investment, this time for Delta Corp Limited.

Ability Games Limited and Ashtek Consultancy Private Limited are the buyers in this deal. They have been identified as independent entities and have no connection to Delta Corp’s promoter or group companies. Also, the deal doesn’t fall into the related party transaction category, which reflects transparency in all the regulatory measures.

After the sale, Deltin Nepal Private Limited (DNPL) will keep the right to use Deltin Casino International trademarks for up to 2 years. To continue their brand recognition and smooth transition, this strategy seems to be working.

Now, as the Indian gaming industry is growing exponentially, Delta Corp is working nonstop to enhance their shareholder value in the market. This change can become a major turnover in the near future and affect their business in many ways. More news is yet to come, so let’s see what happens next with Delta Corp.
