Abstract
An interactive token system includes one or more interactive tokens, such as an interactive coin. The interactive token includes a display that displays one or more images. The interactive token may be releasably engaged with a slot disposed on a wearable device or an interactive token station. Once engaged, the wearable device or interactive token station is able to wirelessly communicate with the interactive token, receive information from the interactive token, display information relating to the interactive token, control actions of the interactive token, and/or use the interactive token as part of a game or trading interaction.
Claims18
An interactive token system, comprising:
- a plurality of interactive tokens, wherein each interactive token of the plurality of interactive tokens comprises:
- a display;
- a memory storing at least one image configured to be displayed on the display;
- and
- wireless communication circuitry;
- and
- a wearable device comprising:
- a main body comprising a surface, the surface comprising:
- a plurality of slots formed in the surface, wherein each interactive token of the plurality of interactive tokens is releasably engaged with a respective slot of the plurality of slots such that the display of each interactive token is positioned on or in the surface when engaged;
- and
- a wearable device display configured to display a digital interactive token accessed from a wearable device memory;
- and
- wearable device wireless communication circuitry configured to communicate with the wireless communication circuitry of the plurality of interactive tokens to receive interactive token information from the plurality of interactive tokens;
- and
- a controller configured to control the display of an individual interactive token of the plurality of interactive tokens based on the interactive token information to cause the image to be displayed on the display of the individual interactive token.
An interactive token system, comprising:
- an interactive token configured to be disposed in a releasable slot of a wearable band, the interactive token comprising:
- a display;
- a memory storing at least one image configured to be displayed on the display;
- and
- wireless communication circuitry;
- and
- an interactive token station, comprising:
- at least one slot configured to receive and releasably engage the interactive token;
- station wireless communication circuitry configured to communicate with the wireless communication circuitry of the interactive token to receive interactive token information from the interactive token when the interactive token is engaged in the at least one slot;
- a station display;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- initiate one or more actions of a game displayed on the station display based on the interactive token information;
- receive user input to play the game;
- and
- provide new images to the memory of the interactive token based on the user input.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a signal indicative of engagement of an interactive token within a slot formed in a surface of a wearable device;
- supplying power to the interactive token based on receiving the signal to cause a display of the interactive token to display one or more images stored on a memory of the interactive token;
- receiving interactive token information via wireless communication circuitry of the interactive token;
- providing instructions to cause the display of the interactive token to transition from the one or more images to a new image based on the interactive token information, wherein the new image is accessed from the memory of the interactive token;
- and
- causing a digital interactive token accessed from a wearable device memory to be displayed on a display of the wearable device.
