POSITION LOCATION SYSTEM USING MULTIPLE POSITION LOCATION TECHNIQUES
First Claim
1. A video gaming system comprising:
- a first position location sub-system operable to determine first position location information regarding a first gaming object using a first position location technique;
a second position location sub-system operable to determine second position location information regarding a second gaming object, the second position location sub-system using a second position location technique that differs from the first position location technique; and
a gaming console coupled to the first position location sub-system and to the second position location sub-system and operable to;
process the first position location information to determine a position of the first gaming object within a coordinate system of a gaming environment;
process the second position location information to determine a position of the second gaming object within the coordinate system of the gaming environment; and
integrate the positions of the first and second gaming objects within the coordinate system of the gaming environment into a video game function.

Abstract
A position location system includes a first position location sub-system, a second position location sub-system, and processing circuitry. The first position location sub-system determines first position location information regarding a first object using a first position location technique. The second position location sub-system determines second position location information regarding a second object, the second position location sub-system using a second position location technique that differs from the first position location technique. The processing circuitry processes the first position location information to determine a position of the first object within a coordinate system and processes the second position location information to determine a position of the second object within the coordinate system.

11. A method for locating a first gaming object and a second gaming object within a physical area of a gaming environment, the method comprising:
-
capturing position location information regarding a first gaming object using a first position location system that uses first position location technique; capturing position location information regarding a second gaming object using a second position location sub-system that uses a second position location technique that differs from the first position location technique; processing the first position location information by a gaming module to determine a position of the first gaming object within a coordinate system of the gaming environment; processing the second position location information by the gaming module to determine a position of the second gaming object within the coordinate system of the gaming environment; and integrating, by the gaming module, the positions of the first and second gaming objects within the coordinate system of the gaming environment into a video game function. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
