Benefits of technology

[0024] It is a primary function of these computer game systems to respond to the spatial state, and to changes in the spatial state of a mobile unit or plurality of units; more particularly, the position and attitude of a mobile device. In best mode examples, a game scheme executed on a computing apparatus may be incorporated into a mobile telephone having a GPS and electronic compass. The physical states relating to position and pointing attitude of the telephone as described in part by position or attitude parameters, drives computer programming code to takes actions which depend on measured position and attitude values. In this way, sophisticated computer games for mobile users are made highly interactive. User gestures including simple pointing actions allow a user to express desires to a computer in an express and direct fashion. These games have many features which cannot be found in more traditional handheld computer games which do not take into consideration the spatial state of an object controlled by a player-user. Thus these inventions stand in contrast to methods and devices relating to computer games known in the art.

Problems solved by technology

The longer a pet is left unattended while crying degrades the overall health and state of being associated with the virtual pet.
However for security purposes, they are no longer welcome in the Pentagon.
While the systems and inventions of the art are designed to achieve particular goals and objectives, some of those being no less than remarkable, these prior art inventions have limitations which prevent their use in new ways now possible.

Abstract

Devices and articles generally configured as double shoulder strap systems for supporting loads to be carried at ones side are presented. Dual shoulder straps are arranged to cooperate with the human body shapes and human body motions for aiding in carrying heavy loads at ones side or hip. A first strap, a proximal strap is arranged with a special shape in view of the loading direction placed upon the strap and the shape of the should onto which the strap lies. A second strap, a distal strap similarly is arranged with consideration for the loading direction and shape of the should upon which it is intended to lie. The straps are coupled together at a sewn joint with particular care for properly transmitting force evenly. The proximal strap is adjustable in length whereby its position in relation to the distal strap may be changed. A second adjustment is made whereby the positions of the two straps together are adjusted at once. Finally the system is terminated in quick release clips to allow easy fastening and unfastening from various sorts of objects or loads.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONS[0001] 1. Field[0002] The following invention disclosure is generally concerned with computer gaming and more specifically concerned with computer games responsive to spatial attributes of a handheld mobile device.[0003] 2. Prior Art[0004] Computer Games[0005] Computer games which are executed on a computer generally have a program flow which is variably selectable and dependent upon inputs provided by a user or by a user's actions. A game program is formed by a game designing computer programmer in agreement with some game scheme of interest. During execution of game programming, logical branching actions occur whereby a routine or plurality of routines are executed in view of the state of game program parameters.[0006] In a computer game popularly known as `Solitaire`, a player moves a mouse peripheral device in `click-and-drag` operations to cause a card `object` to be moved on a user interface (display) towards stacks of similar card objects in accord...
