Context-aware digital play
First Claim
1. A method for context-aware digital play, the method comprising:
- accessing a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising digital content;
determining that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of at least one of a plurality of characters, each of the characters being associated with rules, wherein the rules associated with each of the characters are pre-set prior to accessing the virtual scene, do not change during the context-aware digital play, and are related to a known behavior of the character with which the rule is associated;
accessing an indication of one or more context-based stimuli, the context-based stimuli being based on the virtual scene;
determining whether one or more of the rules associated with the character are also associated with the one or more context-based stimuli that are associated with the accessed indication; and
if one or more of the rules are determined to be associated with the context-based stimuli, applying the context-based stimuli to the virtual scene by updating the digital content of the virtual scene based on the one or more rules and modifying the representation of the character based on the one or more rules.

Abstract
Context-aware digital play includes accessing a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising digital content; determining that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of at least one of a plurality of characters, each of the characters being associated with rules; accessing an indication of one or more context-based stimuli, the context-based stimuli being based on the virtual scene; determining whether one or more rules associated with the character and the one or more context-based stimuli associated with the accessed indications exist; and if one or more rules are determined to exist, applying the context-based stimuli to the virtual scene by updating digital content of the virtual scene based on the one or more rules and modifying the representation of the character based on the one or more rules.

26. A toy system for context-aware digital play, the system comprising:
-
an input/output interface; an electronic processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the electronic processor, the computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to; access a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising digital content; determine that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of at least one of a plurality of characters, each of the characters being associated with rules, wherein the rules associated with each of the characters are pre-set prior to accessing the virtual scene, do not change during the context-aware digital play, and are related to a known behavior of the character with which the rule is associated; access an indication of one or more context-based stimuli, the context-based stimuli being based on the virtual scene; determine whether one or more of the rules associated with the character are also associated with the one or more context-based stimuli that are associated with the accessed indication indications; and if one or more of the rules are determined to be associated with the context-based stimuli, apply the context-based stimuli to the virtual scene by updating digital content of the virtual scene based on the one or more rules and modifying the representation of the character based on the one or more rules. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method for context-aware digital play, the method comprising:
-
accessing a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising digital content; determining that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of at least one of a plurality of characters, each of the characters being associated with rules; accessing an indication of one or more context-based stimuli, the context-based stimuli being based on the virtual scene; determining whether one or more of the rules associated with the character are also associated with the context-based stimuli; if one or more of the rules are associated with the context-based stimuli, applying the context-based stimuli to the virtual scene by updating the digital content of the virtual scene based on the one or more rules and modifying the representation of the character based on the one or more rules; detecting a first physical object; identifying the first detected physical object as a first character of the plurality of characters; detecting a second physical object; and identifying the second physical object as a second character of the plurality of characters, wherein; determining that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of at least one of the characters comprises determining that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of the first character and the second character, and accessing an indication of one or more context-based stimuli comprises determining a distance between the first physical character and the second physical character from the representation of the first physical object and the representation of the second physical object, and comparing the determined distance to a threshold.

33. A toy system for context-aware digital play, the system comprising:
-
a mobile device; and a stand comprising; a holder configured to receive and hold the mobile device, the holder comprising a movable portion; a base configured to receive a toy; a pedestal configured to support the holder at a distance from the base; and an optical assembly comprising at least one optical element, the optical assembly arranged to center a field of view of a imaging sensor of the mobile device at a center of the base when the mobile device is in the holder, wherein the mobile device comprises; an input/output interface comprising the imaging sensor; an electronic processor; a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the electronic processor, the computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to; access a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising digital content; determine that the digital content of the virtual scene comprises a representation of at least one of a plurality of characters, each of the characters being associated with rules; access an indication of one or more context-based stimuli, the context-based stimuli being based on the virtual scene; determine whether one or more of the rules associated with the character are also associated with the context-based stimuli that are associated with the accessed indication; and if one or more rules are associated with the context-based stimulo, apply the context-based stimuli to the virtual scene by updating digital content of the virtual scene based on the one or more rules and modifying the representation of the character based on the one or more rules.
