  • Patent number: 10188936
    Abstract: A device that is an accessory for or a component of games, such as tabletop games, board games, card games and the like includes an actuator, a microprocessor and a power source, and one or more of a timer, sound sensor, light emitter, sound emitter, orientation sensor, motion sensor, optical sensor, communicator, charger and randomizer. The device is programmed through sound transmitted from an external source, such as a computer. The device responds to sounds such as voice commands, hand claps, or other types of sound by a series of programmed behaviors that include rolling, jumping, bouncing and/or displaying one or more lights. When embodied as a die or other sided object, the actuator is mounted at an angle with respect to the device sides. Alternate embodiments could be configured in the shape of a character, such as an animal, person, design of a fictional character or the like.

  • Publication number: 20110210931
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are finger-worn devices in various embodiments, and related systems, interfaces and methods of use. In some embodiments, a finger-worn device may be connected and disconnected from other devices. In some embodiments, a finger-worn device may relay tactile information to a finger wearing said finger-worn device, and/or to a finger operating said finger-worn device. In some embodiments, a finger-worn device may be operated to generate sound, whereas in some embodiments, a finger-worn device may be operated to generate visual output. In some embodiments, interfaces are intended to react, or be controlled or influenced by a finger-worn device or plurality thereof. In some methods, a finger-worn device may be operated for registering input in systems which can sense and process sounds, whereas in other methods a finger-worn device may be operated for registering input in systems which can sense and process light.
