System and method for implementing encrypted content in games

Abstract

The present invention relates to implementing encrypted content in a game, and discloses a device, method and movable figure toy for implementing encrypted content in a game. The encrypted content may relate to a physical object, such as an action figure corresponding to a movie character and / or any other physical object. Such content can be encrypted independently and differently at the development stage of the game. Decryption keys for decrypting encrypted content may be stored on and distributed with corresponding physical objects. A collection of encrypted content associated with a physical object may be decrypted in the presence of a physical object detected by a reader configured to read information stored on the physical object and in response to receiving a decryption key stored on the physical object . The decrypted content may be implemented in the game in response to the presence of the physical object on the reader.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for implementing encrypted content in a game by a device configured to decrypt the encrypted content using a decryption key stored on a physical object. Background technique [0002] Devices that implement content by detecting the presence of an action figure toy on a reader are known. In those devices, some content stored on the console is associated with the action figure and only implemented in the game when the action figure is present on the reader. The presence of the action figure toy on the reader is typically determined by detecting a tag stored on the action figure toy using technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC). However, these devices may be hacked such that content associated with action figures not present on the reader may be disclosed by hackers without the game provider's permission. Contents of the invention [0003] One asp...
