Abstract: The object of the present invention relates to an optimized energy management system of the hardware of electronic RF dice and for the efficient coordination of the same with remote terminals such as, for example, a PC, a tablet, a smartphone or a gaining console and can be conveniently used to significantly reduce the energy consumption of said electronic dice and increase the operating autonomy thereof while also allowing the use of smaller batteries. The proposed solution exploits the standard hardware implemented on the electronic board of said electronic RF dice, allowing to significantly improve the energy performance thereof and, consequently, increasing the life of the attached battery, through a management system of the energy-consuming components of said hardware and, in particular, of the microcontroller and accelerometer installed on said electronic board. The aforementioned system for reducing the consumption of an electronic game die is characterized by: Four different operating modes, i.e.

Abstract: The proposed invention relates to a system for electronic dice, i.e., those devices which are in practice used for board games and parlour games with the support of electronic components. The invention comprises a hardware structure for the tracking and remote transmission of the result of the roll of a die adaptable and usable for various types of dice and, if necessary, transferable between different dice casings heterogeneous in shape, functions and mode of use; said structure being programmable to automatically recognize and adapt to the different shape and type of dice in which it is applied and being conveniently applicable for simultaneous and multiple rolls and for further processing of the results.

Abstract: The finding and object of the invention relates to board games and parlour games characterized by the support of electronic components, such as a PC, tablet, smartphone or game console. More precisely, the invention consists of an economical and easy to construct system, able to identify and track the movements of objects, preferably but not necessarily pawns, on an interactive game board configurable by the user. Said playable and movable objects are tracked by means of a coordinated system of low-cost sensors and a method for the progressive storage of the positions assumed by the same objects as a result of voluntary user interactions.

Abstract: A system for driving physical characteristics of a virtual world of a videogame provided with a physics engine module. The system including a gaming apparatus and a standard primary control device and an additional control device including a stationary base and a sphere. The stationary base is adapted to support the sphere and the sphere is detachable from the stationary base and manipulable by a player. The sphere is provided with a unique identifier and a communication system with the base. The sphere and the base include sensors. The system including means for detecting physical parameters within a player environment and using them to drive corresponding physical characteristics of the virtual world of the videogame.

Abstract: The present invention aims at making a modular expansion system for hybrid or table games with electronic control, allowing to extend the traceability and extend the interaction area outside an original sensorized surface and especially outside the investigation area of a contactless identification system associated with the main board of the gaming system. This allows the user to enlarge the gaming surface outside the interactive surface of the original system and to obtain an interactive gaming surface which reproduces, for example the environment layout, enabling to interact in a more realistic way with the virtual gaming events and environments.

Abstract: Object of the present invention is a system for detecting the spatial position and tracking the movement of one or more objects provided with RFID Tags, said objects possibly being positionable on a suitable limited surface, which constitutes the test space. Such objective is achieved realizing a suitable sensorized test surface, on which elements provided with RFID identifier and magnetic marker can be positioned, possibly moved and monitored. Said surface houses a single RFID antenna dimensioned and positioned in such a way as to cover the entire area of interest, and able to read the tags of possible objects, coupled with a series of magnetic sensors, which are positioned in such a way as to ensure the coverage of the test area and whose measuring ranges may also be different according to the peculiarities of the areas of interest (overall area, precision of detection required, presence of particular areas of interest, etc.) and are partially overlapped.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to enhance the gaming experience of a videogame by backing up a traditional game controller with an additional object, usable with additional controller functions, realized in the form of a “material miniature”, representative of the whole virtual gaming world, with which the player can physically interact, in order to modify the “physics” of the virtual gaming world, consequently influencing the events, in a non-deterministic way. This miniature is equipped with appropriate sensors, designed to detect and map various physical characteristics (movement, orientation in space, temperature, light, sound, magnetic fields, etc.) and to transmit any variations over time to a processing unit, able to dynamically convert, through suitable adaptation algorithms, said information into coherent variations of the physical characteristics simulated within the virtual gaming world, consequently modifying the gameplay experience itself.
