    摘要: The proposed invention consists of an opto-acoustic signaling system for game elements used in so-called hybrid games. Said games being provided with companion app, that is, a support app that is run on a paired electronic terminal (PC, tablet, console). Said opto-acoustic signaling system makes it possible to provide visual information in real time, inherent to game states, situations and events, correlated to one or more of the game elements (typically pawns or functionally equivalent objects) used and moved by the players in the execution of said hybrid games. In particular, the proposed invention focuses on a base that can be paired with different game elements, this allowing said base to be used universally as different games vary and as the type of game elements or pawns that characterize said games varies. Said base accommodates internally an electronic board, in charge of the remote communication with the remote electronic terminal and coordinates/controls the emission of visual and/or acoustic signals. In particular, the electronic board contains, as a solving element, a memory provided with a lookup table with preloaded instructions to activate visual or acoustic type emitters depending on. The game selected and used. The particular game element/pawn hooked to said base. The events and states that are determined dynamically during the execution of the game used.

    摘要: 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. The localizable objects or elements are also provided, in addition to a unique identifier, or RFID Tag, with a suitable magnetic marker, adapted to interact with the above-mentioned grid of sensors. The analysis of the tagged objects, thus, occurs in two steps: the identification of the elements is carried out by means of RFID techniques and, particularly, through the interaction between the Tag and the antenna, while the position and movement detection of the tagged elements is carried out by the proximity detection (with interpolation techniques) of the magnet placed on the traceable object and by means of magnetic sensors positioned on the surface.
