Interactive video game system
First Claim
1. An interactive video game system, comprising:
- an image input device, which produces consecutive images including a participant in a field of view and accordingly outputs digital images;
a memory, which is connected to the image input device to store a previous image produced by the image input device, and pre-stores digital information of two or more objects in the field of view;
a luminance processing device, which is connected to the image input device and the memory to perform an image processing on a current image produced by the image input device and the previous image stored in the memory, thereby obtaining a luminance change of the current image and storing the luminance change in the memory, wherein the luminance change indicates an active region of the participant;
a field hit checker, which is connected to the memory to check if the active region is in either digital region of the two objects in accordance with the luminance change of the current image and the pre-stored digital information, and if the active region is in either digital region, the field hit checker produces a first output signal; and
a rendering engine, which is connected to the field hit checker to control either image of the two objects in accordance with the first output signal and to produce a corresponding image signal for a display to display.

Abstract
An interactive video game system. An image input device produces consecutive images including a participant in a field of view. A luminance processing device obtains a luminance change of a current image in accordance with the consecutive images, wherein the luminance change indicates an active region of the participant. A field hit checker and a motion detector check if the active region ranges in a digital region or compute a motion and direction of the active region in accordance with the luminance change of the current image and a digital information, thereby generating an output signal. A rendering engine controls a sprite image in accordance with the output signal and accordingly displays the result on a display. Thus, the participant can play an interactive video game.
