Simulated shooting system and method
First Claim
1. A shooting simulation system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of communication devices, each communication device associated with a separate player, wherein each communication device includes an Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS) device for determining a location indicia of the communication device and a mechanism for communicating the location indicia to a network, the location indicia providing a location of the communication device;
a game server communicating with the network for relaying the location indicia of each communication device to the plurality of communication devices;
wherein each communication device includes a mechanism for determining a directional orientation of the communication device when aimed;
wherein a shooting communication device targeting a targeted player having a targeted communication device receives location indicia of the targeted communication device; and
a shooting processor within the communications device for determining if a simulated targeting of another player is a hit or miss based on the location indicia of a shooting communication device, the location indicia of the targeted communication device of the targeted player received from the game server, and the directional orientation of the shooting communication device;
the shooting processor within the shooting communication device determining a hit or miss of the targeting of another player and providing immediate feedback of a hit or miss to a shooting of the shooting communication device.

Abstract
A shooting simulation system. The system includes a plurality of communication devices with each communication device associated with a separate player. In addition, each mobile phone includes an A-GPS device for determining a location indicia of the communication device and a mechanism for communicating the location indicia to a network. A game server communicates with the network for relaying the location indicia of each communication device to all of the communication devices. Each communication device includes a mechanism for determining a directional orientation of the communication device when aimed and a processor for determining if a simulated targeting of another player is a hit or miss based on the location indicia of a shooting communication device, the location indicia of a communication device of a targeted player, and the directional orientation of the shooting communication device.

23. A method of simulating targeting a target, the method comprising the steps of:
-
carrying a shooting communication device by a first player and a targeted communication device by a targeted second player; determining a geographic location of the shooting communication device; determining a geographic location of the targeted communication device; relaying the geographic location of the targeted communication device to the shooting communication device through a network; aiming and targeting the second player by the shooting communication device; determining an orientation of the aimed shooting communication device; determining, by a shooting processor of the shooting communication device, if the targeting is a hit based on the orientation of the aimed shooting communication device and the location of the targeted communication device; and providing immediate feedback of a hit or miss to a shooting player of the shooting communication device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
