Method of changing processor-generated individual characterizations presented on multiple interacting processor-controlled objects

Номер: US20120007870A1
Автор: Martin Owen
Принадлежит: Smalti Tech Ltd

Processor-controlled objects, such as inter-communicating processor-controlled blocks, are adapted to present changeable individual characterizations to a user. A user manipulating the objects can cause, over time, a designated object to inherit characterizations and properties from other interacting objects to permit scalability in a set of such objects. The communication of individual characterization between interacting objects allows generation of sensory responses (in a response generator of a specific object or otherwise in a response generator associated with at least one other similar objects) based on proximity, relative position and the individual characterization presented on and by those interacting objects at the time of interaction. In this way, a set of objects has vastly extended interactive capabilities since each object is capable of dynamically taking on different characterizations arising from a meaningful combination of properties from different conjoined objects.
