Abstract
Percussive interactive device characterized in that it is composed of an external polyhedric case of deformable material and of an internal case housing an electronic device, whose purpose is to detect external forces applied on said device and to transmit the data collected, once converted into electronic data for audio applications, to an external device used to process and emit sound.
Claims16
A percussive interactive device, comprising:
- an external polyhedric or spherical case of deformable material;
- and
- an internal case within the external case and housing an electronic apparatus,
- wherein the electronic apparatus is configured to detect a set of external forces from at least a rebound effect applied to the electronic apparatus as a result of the external case impacting and deflecting off of a surface external to the external case, to collect electronic data related to the rebound effect, to convert the collected electronic data into converted electronic data related to the rebound effect for subsequent audio application, and to transmit the converted electronic data to remote interactive device, the converted electronic data being configured to be processed by the remote interactive device for emitting related sounds.

A percussive interactive system, comprising:
- an external polyhedric or spherical case of deformable material;
- an internal case disposed within the external case;
- an electronic apparatus disposed within the internal case, wherein the electronic apparatus is configured:
- to detect a set of external forces defining at least a rebound of the percussive interactive system off of a surface external to the percussive interactive system,
- to collect electronic data related to the rebound,
- to convert the collected electronic data into converted electronic data related to the rebound for audio application, and
- to transmit the converted electronic data;
- and
- a remote interactive device configured to receive and to process the converted electronic data into one or more audio signals related to the rebound,
- wherein at least one of the percussive interactive device or the remote interactive device is configured to emit related audible tones based on the one or more audio signals.
