SIMULATION OF WRITING ON GAME CONSOLES THROUGH THE USE OF MOTION-SENSING TECHNOLOGY
First Claim
1. A method for generating one or more gesture symbols in response to one or more physical movements of an electronic input device used in a gaming system, the device being capable of generating one or more gesture signals in one or more operational states being one of a gaming environment, a non-gaming environment and a mixed environment, comprising:
- selecting a mode of operation using the device;
gesturing one or more writing symbols using the device;
generating one or more gesture signals in response to the gestured one or more writing symbols in relation to respective physical movements of the device corresponding for each gestured writing symbol to one or more of;
detected motion displacement and detected movement of the device;
transmitting the one or more gesture signals to a receiver of the gaming system;
mapping the one or more received gesture signals with a gesture symbol database to determine a gesture symbol for each of the one or more gesture signals;
transmitting the one or more determined gesture symbols to an output; and
generating the one or more gesture symbols as an output corresponding to the selected mode of the operational state.

Abstract
A method and system of utilizing a game console with motion sensing technology is provided. The present invention, in various implementations, provides for a method for generating one or more symbols in response to one or more gestures using an input device of a gaming system. The method comprises providing the input device being capable of generating one or more gesture signals in response to one or more gestures and being operable to select a mode of one or more operational states. The method also provides for generating one or more gesture signals corresponding to the one or more gestures, respectively; mapping the one or more generated gesture signals in relation to one or more symbols, respectively; and, transmitting the one or more symbols corresponding to the respective one or more gesture signals to an output.
