WIRELESS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PHYSICAL FIGURES TO EVIDENCE REAL-WORLD ACTIVITY AND FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT IN REAL AND VIRTUAL SPACES
First Claim
1. A physical figure, comprising:
- a torso piece having at least a head, arms, and legs connected thereto;
a wireless communication device configured to capture evidence confirming that a user has performed a real-world activity that includes at least wireless communication with a second physical figure having wireless communication capabilities; and
a processing unit configured to transmit the captured evidence to a computing platform configured to determine real-world development associated with the user based at least in part on the evidence captured with the wireless communication device.

Abstract
The disclosure generally relates to physical figures having wireless communication devices implanted therein to capture evidence relating to real-world activities that may be required to progress in real-world and/or virtual spaces. For example, the wireless communication devices implanted in the physical figures may confirm proximity to other users and capture evidence indicating that progress has been achieved in real-world missions that may involve teamwork, competition, outdoor activities, and/or other real-world interaction. In one embodiment, the physical figures may have one or more sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.) that can measure activities performed with the physical figures such that the wireless communication devices implanted therein may exchange the sensor measurements in relation to the cooperative and/or competitive interaction therebetween.

11. A method for capturing evidence that relates to real-world activities, comprising:
-
establishing a wireless connection at a physical figure having a torso piece and at least a head, arms, and legs connected to the torso piece; monitoring the wireless connection to capture evidence confirming that a user has performed a real-world activity using the physical figure; and transmitting the captured evidence to a computing platform configured to determine real-world development associated with the user based at least in part on the evidence captured over the monitored wireless connection. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
