Proximity based games for mobile communication devices
First Claim
1. A first wireless device comprising:
- a communication module configured to detect a wireless signal from a target device; and
a processor configured to;
determine a radial proximity of the first wireless devices to the target device based on a strength of the wireless signal; and
execute a program, wherein the programallows a user of the first wireless device to play a game with a second wireless device;
generates a pictorial representation of the game on the first wireless device and the second wireless device according to data exchanged between the first wireless device and the second wireless device during the game; and
alters the pictorial representation of the game on the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on (i) the data exchanged between the first wireless device and the second wireless device during the game, and (ii) the radial proximity of the first wireless device to the target device,wherein the processor is configured to calculate a distance of the first wireless device from the target device based on the strength of the wireless signal, andwherein the communication module is configured to transmit the distance to the second wireless device.

Abstract
A first wireless device including a communication module and a processor. The communication module is configured to detect a wireless signal from a target device. The processor is configured to determine a radial proximity of the first wireless devices to the target device based on a strength of the wireless signal. The processor is configured to execute a program. The program allows a user of the first wireless device to play a game with a second wireless device executing the program. The program is configured to generate a pictorial representation of the game on the first wireless device and the second wireless device. The processor is configured to alter the pictorial representation of the game on the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on the radial proximity of the first wireless device to the target device.
