Abstract

A motion system for receiving events and performing motion operations, comprising a set of device neutral events, a set of motion operations; a gaming system, a motion device, and an event handling system. The motion device is capable of sending at least one device neutral event. The motion device is capable of performing at least one of the motion operations. The event handling system is capable of receiving at least one device neutral event and directing the motion device to perform at least one motion operation based on the at least one received device neutral event.

Claims

1. A motion system for receiving events and performing motion operations, comprising:

a set of device neutral events;

a set of motion operations;

a gaming system that is capable of sending at least one device neutral event;

a motion device capable of performing at least one of the motion operations; and

an event handling system that is capable of receiving at least one device neutral event and directing the motion device to perform at least one motion operation based on the at least one received device neutral event.

2. A motion system as recited in claim 1, further comprising motion services software capable of converting at least one motion operation into motion device specific commands.

3. A motion system as recited in claim 2, in which the motion services software is capable of sending the motion device specific commands to at least one motion device.

4. A motion system as recited in claim 1, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to perform an action.

5. A motion system as recited in claim 1, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move the motion device.

6. A motion system as recited in claim 1, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move an object.

7. A motion system as recited in claim 1, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing data to be read from at least one motion device.

8. A motion system as recited in claim 1, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing data to be written to at least one motion device.

9. A motion system for sending events comprising:

a set of motion operations;

at least one device neutral event that describes a motion operation;

at least one device specific event that describes a motion operation;

a gaming system that is capable of receiving device neutral events; and

an event handling system that is capable of receiving at least one device specific event, converting the at least one received device specific event into the at least one device neutral event, and sending the at least one device neutral event to the gaming system.

10. A motion system as recited in claim 9, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to perform an action.

11. A motion system as recited in claim 9, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move the motion device.

12. A motion system as recited in claim 9, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move an object.

13. A motion system as recited in claim 9, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing data to be read from at least one motion device.

14. A motion system as recited in claim 9, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing data to be written to at least one motion device.

15. A method of receiving events and performing motion operations, comprising:

providing a set of device neutral events;

providing a set of motion operations;

causing a gaming system to send at least one device neutral events;

providing a motion device capable of performing at least one of the motion operations;

receiving at least one device neutral event from the gaming system; and

directing the motion device to perform at least one motion operation based on the at least one received device neutral event.

16. A method as recited in claim 15, further comprising the steps of converting at least one motion operation into motion device specific commands.

17. A method as recited in claim 16, in which the motion services software is capable of sending the motion device specific commands to at least one motion device.

18. A method as recited in claim 15, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to perform an action.

19. A method as recited in claim 15, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move the motion device.

20. A method as recited in claim 15, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move an object.

21. A method as recited in claim 15, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing data to be read from at least one motion device.

22. A method as recited in claim 15, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing data to be written to at least one motion device.

23. A method for sending events comprising:

providing a set of motion operations;

providing at least one device neutral event that describes at least one of the motion operation;

providing at least one device specific event that describes at least one of the motion operation;

providing a gaming system that is capable of receiving device neutral events;

receiving at least one device specific event;

converting the at least one received device specific event into the at least one device neutral event; and

sending the at least one device neutral event to the gaming system.

24. A method as recited in claim 23, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to perform an action.

25. A method as recited in claim 23, in which at least one motion operation is capable of causing at least one motion device to move the motion device.
