SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SIMULATIONS AND GAMES USING INTERNET-CONNECTED MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more mobile devices, each mobile device comprising a display, a processor, a position determination sensor, and a means for communicating with a remote computing device; and
a remote computing device having at least a processor, a means for communicating with each of the one or more mobile devices, and a readable storage medium containing instructions for;
simulating a source;
calculating a field associated with the source;
calculating an intensity of the field for each of the one or more mobile devices based on the location of the mobile device and a location of the source; and
transmitting the intensity of the field to each individual mobile device.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, devices, and methods for using mobile devices to detect a simulated source, and games and training exercises using these systems, devices, and methods. In some embodiments, the source may be a simulated hazardous material that emits energy, particles, or vapors that can also be simulated by the mobile devices. In such embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods can be used to simulate an incident involving the release of hazardous materials such as, for example, a chemical or radioactive material spill or attack by chemical, biological, nuclear, or radioactive (dirty bomb) weapons. In other embodiments, the system can be used to simulate an object used in a game such as a ball, puck, or goal and monitor movement of the object and players using a mobile device.

24. A method of providing a simulation comprising:
-
simulating, by a processor, a source; determining, by the processor, a field surrounding the source, wherein the field is based upon one or more parameters; determining, by the processor, an intensity of the field based upon the one or more parameters and a location relative to the source; transmitting, by the processor, information to a mobile device, wherein the information corresponds to the source, the field, and the intensity of the field at the location of the mobile device; transmitting, by the processor, the information to a command center; receiving, by the processor, one or more commands from the command center, wherein the one or more commands direct a user of the mobile device to complete one or more instructions; and transmitting, by the processor, the one or more commands to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system for providing a simulation comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage device, wherein the non-transitory, processor readable storage device comprises one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; simulate a source, determine a field surrounding the source, wherein the field is based upon one or more parameters, determine an intensity of the field based upon the one or more parameters and a location relative to the source; transmit information to a mobile device, wherein the information corresponds to the source, the field, and the intensity of the field at the location of the mobile device; transmit the information to a command center; receive one or more commands from the command center, wherein the one or more commands direct a user of the mobile device to complete one or more instructions; and transmit the one or more commands to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
