Internet enabled multiply interconnectable environmentally interactive character simulation module method and system
First Claim
1. A module comprising:
- a processor;
a display operably coupled to said processor; and
a communication device operably coupled to said processor, wherein said processor is configured to control a simulated character, wherein an image associated with the simulated character is displayable on said display, and wherein the image is displayable on a second display of a second module to simulate movement of the simulated character to the second module, wherein the module communicates with the second module via an electronic network using said communication device and wherein said display stops displaying the image if the image is displayed on the second display.

Abstract
A simulated character module and method of operation are presented. The simulated character module includes a processor, a display operably coupled to the processor and a communication device operably coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to control a simulated character, and an image associated with the simulated character is displayable on the display. Further, the image is displayable on a second display of a second module to simulate movement of the simulated character to the second module. The module communicates via an electronic network with the second module using the communication device. The electronic network can be the Internet. Further, the image is not displayed on the display of the module if the image is displayed on the second display of the second module.

7. A method of operating a module comprising:
-
simulating a character;
displaying a representation of the character on a display of the module;
operably connecting the module with a second module, wherein the module and the second module communicate via an electronic network; and
simulating movement of the character to the second module, wherein simulating movement includes displaying the representation of the character on a second display of the second module, and wherein simulating movement includes not displaying the representation of the character on the display of the module if the representation of the character is displayed on the second display of the second module. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
