System and method for recognizing orientation of an object placed on an interactive surface
First Claim
1. A system for recognizing orientation of an object placed on an interactive surface, comprising:
- an interactive surface,a processor operatively linked to the interactive surface,an array of sensors operatively linked to the processor,an object comprising a plurality of external sides, wherein each external side is visually marked with an indicator,wherein, upon the object being placed on the interactive surface, the array of sensors detects an identification value of the external side in touch with the interactive surface and transmits the identification value to the processor, and the processor is configured to derive the orientation of the object based on the identification value.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and accompanying method for recognizing orientation of an object placed on an interactive surface. The system includes an interactive surface, a processor operatively linked to the interactive surface, an array of sensors operatively linked to the processor, and an object that has multiple external sides. Each of the external sides is visually marked with an indicator. Once the object is placed on the interactive surface, the array of sensors detects an identification value of the external side that is in touch with the interactive surface and transmits the identification value to the processor, and the processor derives the orientation of the object based on the identification value.

5. A method for recognizing the orientation of an object on an interactive surface, comprising:
-
placing an object on an interactive surface, wherein the object comprises a plurality of external sides, and each external side is visually marked with an indicator, detecting, by an array of sensors, an identification value of the external side being in touch with the interactive surface, transmitting, by the array of sensors, the identification value to the processor, deriving, by the processor, the orientation of the object based on the identification value. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
