I am working on a platform game for ios/android and I've developed a control scheme that allows for precise directional movement and jumping, as well as four action inputs. The control scheme takes advantage of the multi-touch capabilities of ios and android devices. I haven't seen a control scheme like this used in any other games or apps. The concept centers around the a group of icons in fixed positions on the screen and takes up very little screen real estate.
The design is unique and would be effective in other types of games like fps shooters or fighting games, which is has got me thinking; Is it possible to patent a control scheme? The design and implementation is unique and specific, but it uses an multi-touch, a concept I didn't invent on a device I didn't invent. However, I've never seen this particular type of input used to achieve this particular type of character movement.
Would a control scheme be patentable in a circumstance like this?
