Abstract

A method and system of enhancing a sports game. The method comprises the player initiating an operation of the game by activating an input. A receiver relays the input to the processor which compares the input to a database stored in the game. The processor then generates an output in response to the processing of the input. The transmitter sends the output to an output member wherein the output attracts at least one of the senses of a player of the game in order to stimulate the player. The system comprises a housing having an input member and an output member. A receiver positioned within the housing is adapted to receive an input via the input member. A processor positioned within the housing and in communication with the receiver generates an output based on the input. A transmitter positioned within the housing and in communication with the processor sends the output via the output member to attract at least one of the senses of a player in order to stimulate the player such that the player responds to the output.

Claims

1. A method of enhancing a game, comprising:

initiating an operation of the game by activating an input;

relaying the input to a receiver;

processing the input by comparing the input to a database stored in the game;

generating an output in response to the processing of the input;

transmitting the output wherein the output attracts at least one of the senses of a player of the game in order to stimulate the player.

2. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, further comprising entering information into the database.

3. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein activating the input comprises manually operating an input member.

4. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein activating the input comprises sending an optical signal.

5. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein activating the input comprises sending an infrared signal.

6. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein activating the input comprises sending a voice recognition signal.

7. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein transmitting the output comprises sending an audio signal.

8. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 7, wherein the audio signal comprises instructions for the game.

9. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 7, wherein the audio signal comprises a countdown sequence of the game.

10. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein transmitting the output comprises sending a visual signal.

11. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 10, wherein the visual signal comprises instructions for the game.

12. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 10, wherein the visual signal comprises a countdown sequence of the game.

17. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 1, wherein transmitting the output comprises sending a visual signal.

13. A method of enhancing a game by stimulating a player, comprising:

initiating an operation of the game by entering information into a database stored in the game;

relaying an input to a receiver;

processing the input by comparing the input to the database;

generating an output in response to the processing of the input;

transmitting the output wherein the output attracts at least one of the senses of a player of the game such that the player responds to the output.

14. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 13, wherein entering information comprises entering instructions for the game.

15. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 13, wherein entering information comprises entering a countdown sequence of the game.

16. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 13, wherein transmitting the output comprises sending an audio signal.

18. A system for enhancing a game, comprising:

a housing having an input member and an output member;

a receiver positioned within the housing, the receiver being adapted to receive an input;

a processor positioned within the housing and in communication with the receiver, the processor being adapted to generate an output based on the input; and

a transmitter positioned within the housing and in communication with the processor wherein the transmitter is adapted to send the output to attract at least one of the senses of a player in order to stimulate the player such that the player responds to the output.

19. The system for enhancing a game according to claim 18, wherein the input comprises an optical signal.

20. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 18, wherein the input comprises a voice recognition signal.

21. The method for enhancing a game according to claim 18, wherein the output comprises an audio signal.

22. The method for enhancing a game according to claim 21, wherein the audio signal comprises instructions for the game.

23. The method for enhancing a game according to claim 21, wherein the audio signal comprises a countdown sequence of the game.

24. The method for enhancing a game according to claim 18, wherein the output comprises a visual signal.

25. The method of enhancing a game according to claim 24, wherein the visual signal comprises instructions for the game.
