AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the game controller is too far away, too close, or angled away from the IR sensor, the IR communication will fail.
While the above technologies allow video gaming to include motion sensing, it does so with limitations.
Further, the accelerometer only measures acceleration such that true one-to-one detection of motion is not achieved.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an overhead view of an embodiment of a gaming system 10 that includes a game console device 30 and a mobile gaming object 40. The gaming system has an associated video gaming environment 20 corresponding to a physical area in which the game console device 30 and the mobile gaming object 40 are located. The physical area may be a room, portion of a room, and / or any other space where the mobile gaming object 40 and game console device 30 are proximally co-located (e.g., airport terminal, on a bus, on an airplane, etc.).

[0034]The mobile gaming object 40 may be a wireless game controller and / or any object used or worn by the player to facilitate play of a video game. For example, the mobile gaming object 40 may be a simulated sword, a simulated gun, a helmet, a vest, a hat, shoes, socks, pants, shorts, gloves, etc. The mobile gaming object 40 is able to move within a position and motion tracking area 50 of the gaming environment 20. For examp...

Abstract

The position of a mobile gaming object within a video gaming environment is determined using radio frequency identification (RFID) signals transmitted between RFID devices, at least one of which is positioned on a gaming element. Based on signal information regarding the RFID signals, the distances between the gaming element and various RFID devices can be determined. The position of the gaming element within the video gaming environment is then determined based on the distances.
