Toy combat gaming system

Abstract

Taught herein is a virtual toy fighting device integrating a positioning receiver comprising a host toy device 2, a host remote-control operation device 6 and a opponent toy device 22, wherein the host toy device 2 and the opponent toy device 22 comprise a positioning receiver 3 and a positioning receiver 33 for receiving positioning information, respectively. The invention is applicable for fighting a combat game between air-to-air, air-to-land, air-to-water, land-to-land, water-to-surface, and land-to-water models, in a single user, or multiple user environment (one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many), and thereby widens the entertainment range of the game. This invention has wide applications in the areas of toy tools, simulators, training models, and so on.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200610035199.7 filed on Apr. 18, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to a virtual toy combat gaming system, and particularly to a toy combat gaming system integrating one or more positioning receivers to determine the position of the opponent and to assist in virtual fighting.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In conventional toy games, controlling a model toy via radio operation has been widely used, and numerous software games feature radio-controlled planes, ships and vehicles. However, no effective way to incorporate position, altitude and movement information of the toy models has been developed for virtual toy attack games. Moreover, no effective and simple methods have been developed to simulate an attack mode, to set a degree of difficulty, a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0026]In certain classes of this embodiment, initial positioning and error correction, static and dynamic differential positioning, along with data processing are performed between the positioning receivers so as to reduce relative error in position status.

[0048]The virtual toy fighting device of the invention provides the following general advantages:

[0049](1) an intelligent inter-model game device integrating a positioning receiver, a radio transceiving portion and a toy model allows for setting operation level, for engaging virtual weapons in a lock shooting situation, for determining possible shooting situations, for launching virtual attacks, and for informing about attack results;

[0050](2) breaking through a traditional model of self-entertainment barrier, the system implements communicating entertainment and a group game, and increases interest and appeal;

[0051](3) breaking through a traditional concept of counterplay games, the system combines live game effect with audio and vision;

Problems solved by technology

However, no effective way to incorporate position, altitude and movement information of the toy models has been developed for virtual toy attack games.

Moreover, no effective and simple methods have been developed to simulate an attack mode, to set a degree of difficulty, and to lock virtual weapons onto targets.

Conventional game models are not only unsuitable for games between one-to-one models, but also for games between one-to-many and many-to-many models, and specifically, do not provide friend-or-foe identification.
