Apple Patent Application Looks at Converting Video Game Play Into Comic Books

[0098386]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

The iPad is a tablet computer designed and developed by Apple...​

It IS a computer. It might not be as full-functioning as YOU'D like (or as full-functioning as a Windows or a Mac PC), but it IS a computer.

Then my DS, PSP and even GBA are also computers.

This is getting perilously close to patenting the generic idea of turning video games into comic books. Simply expressing the idea of doing this necessarily identifies the ways that this can be done.

You can patent a specific method to do this - but you can't patent the concept as a whole.

Interactive movies have done alternate endings based on user input previously - this seems to be an extension of that.

How can you turn a video game into a comic book?
