Invention Idea and Memory

So, I've decided to come up with the idea to make all instruments that come with the games Guitar Hero and Rock Band compatible on all systems. Similar to a Universal Remote, this USB attatchable device will easily go into one of the many USB ports on all of the current consoles, and will have a sensor inside to find out which system's instrument is trying to connect to which system. Once this is connected, it will work as if it were an instrument for that system. This device is available with open USB ports as well, so that you can plug wired instruments in without a problem.

In this weeks lecture, we learned about a computer's storage space, as well as the pieces of information that the computer uses to store and transmit information (bits). With regards to my invention, which is going to have to have a processor inside to read the signals being sent from the instruments, this lecture talked about one of the most important parts to my invention.

This type of information is going to be the building block of my invention, as I am going to have to have the right type of information in this microchip and in the processor so that the transmitter works smootly, and, frankly, correctly. Without the correct information, the invention will get complaints (which are easily and quickly spread), and the invention/company will go down in flames. The most important thing, though, is having all of the pieces of the processor working together to make the right calculations and decisons, therefore making a reliable and popular product.
