Topic: New Patent with rotary shoulder buttons (possibly NX handheld)

Lots of patents exist to off-track competition to prevent them to easily develop something competitive later on without your knowledge, or to clause yourself against future lawsuit trolls, and even to offset rumours so your project remains more secret (starts browsing what the most recent rumours were before the patent "discoveries"...).

Very few ever make it into a tangible product.

Ideas for what this could be:
1. What if this is the controller to the NX, but they allow for remote play similar to the way that the PS Vita allowed for remote play for the PS4?
2. What if this is intended to be a hybrid between handheld and smartphone to help bring mobile gaming fans into consoles?
3. What if this is an attempt to make a gaming phone?
P.S. I still believe that this is the NX controller because it lacks any gimmick that would sell the system. I mean sure, it has rotary shoulder buttons but that isn't exactly a huge departure from the way we play games, like pretty much any other Nintendo handheld .

And this is the problem with patents. People immediately assume it's a final product. They only patented rotary shoulder buttons for an ''operation apparatus'' (which is so vague that it can mean almost any device that includes some sort of input). They even explained in the patent file that the pictures included are just examples.
