摘要:
An educational board game in which players advance game pieces from location to location on a map of the United States by correctly answering trivia questions related to cinema, music, concerts, stage plays, movie locations and plots, and the individual artists, performers, directors, composers, etc. who are associated with the performance industry. The locations on the board can be where movies were filmed, where concerts were played, where stage plays were presented, where the actors, directors, musicians, etc, reside or information about their careers and performances, etc.

A system for providing information is disclosed. The system has a server which stores page descriptors. A printer is also includes which prints a printed page with visible and invisible data. The invisible data is indicative of one or more of the page descriptors. A sensing device senses the invisible data when placed in an operative position relative to the printed page, and transmits information extracted from sensed invisible data to the server. The server is configured to interpret the positioning of the sensing device based upon the page descriptors indicated by sensed invisible data and to provide information associated with the page descriptors.

A processing system for digitizing a freehand graphic created by an optically imaging pen. The processing system is configured for: receiving digital ink representing interaction of the pen with a surface having a position-coding pattern printed thereon, the digital ink identifying one or more positions detected by the pen; determining if the detected position is in a first area or a second area of the surface; if the detected position is in the first area of the surface, then interpreting the position as a point in a freehand graphic; and if the detected position is in the second area of the surface, then interpreting the position as a selection of a property for the freehand graphic.
摘要:
A computer system for generating print data for an interactive document. The computer being is configured for: receiving a print request from a user; formatting user information in an electronic document so as to include a first user interactive element; determining advertising material for printing with the user information; formatting the advertising material so as to include a second user interactive element; and generating print data for printing the formatted user information and the formatted advertising material together with coincident coded data on a substrate. The coded data is readable by a sensing device and is indicative of a document identity and the first and second interactive elements.

摘要:
A system for digitizing a freehand graphic. The system comprises: a base including a surface; a position-coding pattern printed on the surface with first and second areas. The system further comprises an optically imaging pen including for detecting a position in the position-coding pattern; and a transmitter for transmitting interaction data to a relay device. The relay device communicates the interaction to a processor, which is adapted to determine if the detected position is in the first area or the second area. If the detected position is in the first area of the surface, then the processor interprets the position as a point in the freehand graphic. If the detected position is in the second area of the surface, then the processor interprets the position as a selection of a property for the freehand graphic.
摘要:
A method for carrying out a game of the type comprising the steps of noting written information on a surface with the aid of a writing means. The surface is provided with a position-coding pattern and the writing means is a combined writing and reading unit, which continually reads its movement across the surface. The information is converted into transmittable data and is sent via a communication system to a recipient which returns feedback on the received information.
摘要:
A puzzle game of the geographical educational type is provided, comprising a plurality of different puzzles, with each puzzle having a plurality of pre-cut pieces, each with indicia therein, such that when the various pieces of a given puzzle are arranged together, it will display an aggregate geographical continental map area of the world. There are a plurality of such puzzles, each in its own box, with the boxes being arranged in an aggregate container or box, and are adapted to be selected from the aggregate container via removal from the aggregate container by means of a finger access opening for each box of puzzles.

A layered game board includes a base game board, a movable game surface, and a play surface. The movable game surface is provided on top of the base game board and is movable in relation to the base game board. The movable game surface has game-related characteristics directly affecting game play in portions overlapping the base game board. The play surface is provided on top of the movable game surface for placement of a game piece such that a position of the game piece relative to the base game board is unaffected by movement of the movable game surface. An example includes a weather wheel provided for rotation on a game board depicting a world domination-type game. The movable game surface and the play surface can be provided as a retrofit expansion set for existing games.
摘要:
A Bingo-style game intended for use by travelers that is capable of being played while the travelers are moving while in, for example, an automobile, train or airplane. The game can also be played by travelers on foot, for example, during a walking tour of Paris. The game is constructed from a single sheet of paper, which can be of any suitable size, which is double-sided and folded in such a way as to resemble a map. The game incorporates several game sheets that can include perforations along the folds so that the sheets can be individually separated. The game is a self-contained unit and comes with everything needed to play, including rules, except for a pen or pencil or other writing utensil. The game is intended for one use only and can then be discarded.
