Abstract
A distributed communications effects module (DCEM) method, apparatus, and computer medium are adapted to provide communications effects to a simulated message in a distributed simulation in order to enhance the ability of the distributed simulation to model real-world behavior.
Claims30
A method associated with a simulated source object and with a simulated destination object operable in a computer simulation, the method comprising:
- providing a first distributed communications effects module (DCEM) associated with the simulated source object;
- receiving a simulated message with the first distributed communications effects module;
- applying simulated communications effects to the simulated message with the first distributed communications effects module;
- and
- transmitting the simulated message to a second distributed communications effects module (DCEM) associated with the simulated destination object.
Apparatus associated with a simulated source object and with a simulated destination object operable in a computer simulation, the apparatus comprising
- a first distributed communications effects module (DCEM) ) associated with the simulated source object, wherein the first distributed communications effects module (DCEM) is adapted to receive a simulated message, wherein the first distributed communications effects module is adapted to apply simulated communications effects to a simulated message, and wherein the first distributed communications effects module is adapted to transmit the simulated message to a second distributed communications effects module (DCEM) associated with the simulated destination object.
A computer usable medium having computer readable code thereon associated with a simulated source object and with a simulated destination object operable in a computer simulation, including program code comprising instructions for:
- providing a first distributed communications effects module (DCEM) associated with the simulated source object;
- receiving a simulated message with the first distributed communications effects module;
- applying simulated communications effects to the simulated message with the first distributed communications effects module;
- and
- transmitting the simulated message to a second distributed communications effects module (DCEM) associated with the simulated destination object.
