MAGIC WAND METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR DEFINING, INITIATING, AND CONDUCTING QUESTS
First Claim
1. A wand comprising:
- one or more sensors, communicatively coupled with at least one processor, to detect one or more gestures wherein the one or more gestures are movements performed using the wand by a user of the wand, and generate sensor data representative of the one or more gestures;
a device interface module to operate on the at least one processor to obtain, from the one or more sensors, the sensor data representative of the one or more gestures;
a spell module to operate on the at least one processor to receive, from the device interface module, the sensor data representative of the one or more gestures, and convert the sensor data representative of the one or more gestures into a spell sequence; and
a wand communication module, communicatively coupled with the at least one processor, to transmit the spell sequence to a computing device, and receive, from the computing device, a spell output based on the spell sequence, a wand position, and a quest, wherein the quest indicates an order in which one or more second devices are to be activated and one or more spells to activate each of the one or more second devices.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and storage media for creating, discovering, and/or resolving spells using a wand are provided. In embodiments, a computing device or a wand may detect one or more gestures and sensors in the wand may generate sensor data representative of the one or more gestures. The one or more gestures may be movements performed using the wand. The sensor data representative of the one or more gestures may be converted into a spell sequence. The wand may transmit the spell sequence to a computing device, and receive, from the computing device, a spell output based on the spell sequence, a wand position, and a quest. The quest may indicate an order in which one or more second devices are to be activated and one or more spells to activate each of the one or more second devices. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

13. A computer-implemented method for creating a quest, the method comprising:
-
defining, by a computing device, the quest indicating an order in which one or more second devices are to be activated and one or more spells to cast to activate each of the one or more second devices; and providing, by the computing device, the quest to a wand for commencement of the quest, wherein the defining the quest comprises; selecting, by the computing device, each of the one or more second devices to define the order; defining, by the computing device, one or more gestures to be performed to activate each of the one or more second devices, wherein the one or more gestures are movements performed by a user using the wand; defining, by the computing device, a spell output to be associated with the one or more gestures and a wand position relative to each of the one or more second devices, wherein the spell output indicates at least one of a first instruction for activating one or more first devices and a second instruction for activating each of the one or more second devices; generating, by the computing device, a defined spell sequence for each of the one or more second devices based on the defined one or more gestures; and storing, by the computing device, the defined spell sequence for each of the one or more second devices in association with the defined spell output. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. At least one computer readable medium, including instructions to cause, a computing device, in response to execution of the instructions by the computing device, to:
-
obtain a first spell sequence indicative of one or more gestures performed by a user; obtain a plurality of spells according to a user profile associated with the user; determine a first matching spell of the plurality of spells by comparing the first spell sequence with the defined spell sequence of each of the plurality of spells; determine whether the first matching spell is substantially similar to a quest initiation spell; provide an indication that the quest is to be initiated when the first matching spell is determined to be substantially similar to a quest initiation spell. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
