Control of wager-based game using gesture recognition
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a housing;
a display device supported by the housing and configured operable to display a play of a game;
at least one gyroscope supported by the housing and configured to detect motion of the housing during the play of the game; and
a controller configured to;
analyze the detected motion of the housing and determine whether the detected motion of the housing corresponds to any of a plurality of different designated gestures; and
responsive to determining that the detected motion of the housing corresponds to one of the plurality of designated gestures;
determine a game input associated with said designated gesture, said determined game input being one of a plurality of different game inputs;
determine at least one aspect of the play of the game to modify based on the determined game input; and
cause a modification of the determined at least one aspect of the play of the game.

Abstract
Various techniques are described for controlling a wager-based game played at a gaming system. In one embodiment the gaming system may include a gesture input interface device operable to detect movements gestures associated with one or more persons, and a gesture interpretation component operable to identify selected movements or gestures detected by the gesture input interface device. In one embodiment, the gesture interpretation component may also be operable to generate gesture interpretation information relating to interpretation of the selected movements or gestures. In one embodiment, the gaming system may be operable to automatically detect a gesture by a player participating in a game session at the gaming system; interpret the gesture with respect to a set of criteria; generate gesture interpretation information relating to the interpretation of the gesture; and advance a state of the game session using at least a portion of the gesture interpretation information.

11. A method of operating a device, said method comprising:
-
displaying, by a display device supported by a housing of the device, a play of a game; detecting, by at least one gyroscope supported by the housing, motion of the housing during the play of the game; analyzing, by a controller, the detected motion of the housing and determining, by the controller, whether the detected motion of the housing corresponds to any of a plurality of different designated gestures; and responsive to determining that the detected motion of the housing corresponds to one of the plurality of designated gestures; determining, by the controller, a game input associated with said designated gesture, said determined game input being one of a plurality of different game inputs; determining, by the controller, at least one aspect of the play of the game to modify based on the determined game input; and causing, by the controller, a modification of the determined at least one aspect of the play of the game. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24)

21. A device comprising:
-
a housing; a display device supported by the housing; an accelerometer configured to detect motion of the housing; and a controller configured to; analyze the detected motion of the housing during a play of a game displayed on the display device and determine whether the detected motion of the housing corresponds to a designated gesture; and responsive to determining that the detected motion of the housing corresponds to the designated gesture; determine a game input associated with the designated gesture, the determined game input being one of a plurality of different game inputs; determine an aspect of the play of the game to modify based on the determined game input; and cause a modification of the determined aspect of the play of the game. - View Dependent Claims (25)

22. A method of operating a device, the method comprising:
-
displaying, by a display device supported by a housing, a play of a game; detecting, by an accelerometer, motion of the housing during the play of the game; analyzing, by a controller, the detected motion of the housing and determining, by the controller, whether the detected motion of the housing corresponds to a designated gesture; and responsive to determining that the detected motion of the housing corresponds to the designated gesture; determining, by the controller, a game input associated with the designated gesture, the determined game input being one of a plurality of different game inputs; determining, by the controller, an aspect of the play of the game to modify based on the determined game input; and causing, by the controller, a modification of the determined aspect of the play of the game. - View Dependent Claims (26)
