First Claim
Patent Images
1. A gaming object comprising:
- a sensing tag, configured to;
generate orientation data indicating at least one of a position or orientation of the sensing tag; and
send a radio-frequency (RF) signal to a game device, wherein the RF signal indicates the orientation data; and
a capacitive sensor including a capacitive layer having a charge that generates interactive data in response to actions of a user including touch of the user in proximity to the capacitive layer;
wherein the game device generates at least one interactive item for display in response to the orientation data and the interactive data.

Abstract
A gaming object includes an orientation sensor that generates orientation data in response to the orientation of the gaming object. An actuator that generates interaction data in response to an action of a user. A transceiver sends an RF signal to a game device that indicates the orientation data and the interaction data. The game device generates display data for display on a display device that contains at least one interactive item, and wherein the at least one interactive item is interactive in response to the orientation data and the interaction data.

14. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a gaming object, a first radio-frequency (RF) signal from a game device; generating, by the gaming object based on the first RF signal, orientation data indicating at least one of a position or orientation of the gaming object; and sending, by the gaming object, a second RF signal to the game device, wherein the RF signal indicates the orientation data; wherein the game device generates at least one interactive item for display in response to the orientation data.
