A device and method are provided for applying a glowing trail onto a surface on a playmat of material that glows in the dark, which lasts only fora limited time depending on the type and strength of the light and playmat material. The trail can be generated by a game piece that moves on the playmat, or a game board.

Embodiments relate to a board game (100) comprising a board (110) with a plurality of positioning areas (111) for game pieces (101, 102) whereby these positioning areas comprise identification patterns. Board game further comprises an optical identification device (120) for reading identification patterns and a plurality of these game pieces (101, 102) wherein each game piece is adapted to receive and hold the optical identification device (120) such that an identification pattern underneath said game piece is exposed to said optical identification device for reading. The optical identification device is further adapted to read the identification pattern underneath the game piece when held in the game piece thereby obtaining an identification of a positioning area on which the game piece is located.

摘要:
A playing card provided with identification code which is arranged along opposed long sides of the card and mutually symmetrically. Each code comprises at least six code fields of essentially equal size that occupy a significant area of the rim area of the respective edges of the card. According to a preferred embodiment, the codes are provided in that the surface of the entire playing card is reflective of ultraviolet light, where the surface has been de-masked to define the code fields.

An apparently conventional playing card (10) is invisibly coded so that it can only be read face down, by an electro-optic reading means. The card may be of non-laminated conventional card stock which has a substantially white surface conventionally printed with the identification of the suit and value of the card with inks chosen because they are visible but substantially transparent to wavelengths outside the visible range. The face of the card is coded with indicia inklessly marked across its surface with a compound which absorbs wavelengths (outside the visible range) which wavelengths are used by the reading means to read the indicia. The indicia, invisible to the human eye, correspond to a code (11) which uniquely identifies the card. The card may be laminated from top and base sheets and the code concealed behind the front printed face of the top sheet.
摘要:
Une carte à jouer (10) d'apparence classique est pourvue d'un code invisible qui ne peut être lu par un lecteur électro-optique que lorsque la face de ladite carte est tournée vers le bas. La carte peut être constituée d'un papier à carte classique non stratifié, et, sur sa surface pratiquement blanche, sont imprimées, de façon classique, la couleur et la valeur de ladite carte, cela au moyen d'encres sélectionnées parce qu'elles sont visibles mais pratiquement transparentes à des longueurs d'ondes sortant du domaine visible. La face de la carte est codée par des marques réalisées sans encre qui traversent sa surface, au moyen d'un composé qui absorbe les longueurs d'ondes (qui sortent du domaine visible), le lecteur utilisant ces longueurs d'ondes pour lire les marques faîtes sur la carte. Lesdites marques, qui sont invisibles à l'oeil humain, correspondent à un code (11) qui permet uniquement d'identifier la carte. La carte peut également être constituée d'un stratifié comprenant une feuille supérieure et une feuille de support, le code étant dissimulé derrière la face frontale imprimée de la feuille supérieure.
摘要:
A deck of cards is coded by marking each card on its face with a bar code which is essentially invisible to the human eye, but can be read by a detector matched to the source of wavelength of the light used to irradiate each card as it is passed over the surface of a portable housing (10) which houses the detector and the associated reading means (12). Appropriate hardware is also housed in the housing (10) to process the coded information read. The software provided stores a number of predetermined 'hands' which are to be dealt. It can also deal a random deal, more random than can be dealt by human shuffling of the deck. A method is provided to deal a preselected 'deal' to a chosen number of players, typically four, the apparatus indicating to the human dealer to which location each card is to be dealt.
摘要:
On code un jeu de cartes en marquant la face de chacune des cartes avec un code à barres qui est essentiellement invisible à l'oeil de l'homme mais qui peut être lu par un détecteur adapté à la source de la longueur d'onde de la lumière utilisée pour illuminer chaque carte lorsqu'elle passe sur la surface d'un boîtier (10) portatif renfermant le détecteur et le dispositif lecteur (12) associé. Le boîtier (10) comprend également du matériel approprié servant à traiter les informations codées lues. Le logiciel stocke un certain nombre de "jeux" destinés à être distribués. Il peut également faire une donne aléatoire plus aléatoire que celle possible après un mélange manuel des cartes. On a prévu un procédé permettant de faire une "donne" prédéterminée pour un nombre prédéterminé de joueurs (normalement quatre), selon lequel l'appareil indique au donneur à qui chaque carte doit être distribuée.
