    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for changing the state of a user interface (UI) element of a computer program visually marked on a physical object, through a touch action upon the object, among a plurality of objects on the interactive surface, each comprising a capacitance tab and a unique identification code. During runtime execution of the computer program, and in response to a touch action upon an object by an end-user, the interactive surface is configured to detect such touch action upon the object through an embedded capacitance sensor positioned under the object, and direct a sensory accessory to indicate a new state of the UI element marked on an object by exhibiting a new sensory pattern. The present invention offers enhanced interactivity between an end-user and a computer program mediated by physical objects.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method to enable a capacitance sensor to further recognize a capacitive action on an object after the capacitance sensor has recognized the presence of the object. The system includes an object, an interactive surface embedded with a capacitance sensor, and a processor that is configured to continuously receive capacitance values from the capacitance sensor. After an object is placed on an interactive surface and within the detection range of the capacitance sensor, the processor is configured to deduce that a first significant change in capacitance value has occurred, and that an object has been placed on the interactive surface, based on one or more heuristics. And further, once an end-user touches the object, the processor is configured to deduce that a second significant change in capacitance value has occurred, and that the object has been touched by a finger, based on one or more heuristics. The present invention may be valuable for a variety of education, entertainment and productive applications by providing enhanced human machine interactivity through the manipulation of physical objects.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for construction of a spatial structure through the use of short-distance wireless communication means such as the infrared diode or pulse modulation. The system includes a plurality of objects, each object comprising multiple emitters and multiple receivers, each embedded near a surface of an object. Once a signal comprising information stored in multiple objects is received by the receiver of a particular object, a microprocessor is configured to derive the spatial relationship of these multiple objects relative to the particular object, and direct the information to be stored in its data storage means. A central processor receives information regarding the plurality of objects and derives a spatial structure formed by the plurality of objects. The present invention is useful in a variety of fields that require construction of a spatial structure. Example areas of applications are education, entertainment and productivity enhancement.
