Sony seems to we willing to push innovation to the maximum for its next PlayStation 5. In fact, a patent filed by Sony in December 2019 reported a "data processing device". This same patent is described as "a switching operation to pass from a mode of reception of an operation on the main screen to a mode of reception of an operation on the sub-screen ".
