Abstract
Interactive blocks with sensors for collecting information about how tactile objects are interacted with and with one or more communication interface for sending the interaction data to one or more other device or platform for analyzing the interactivity, providing feedback to a user, and assessing manual ability and dexterousness, cognitive ability, memory and retention, providing challenges based on past performance, learning curve, etc.
Claims19
An interactive block comprising:
- a sensor configured to determine an orientation of the first interactive block;
- connectors configured to couple the first interactive block with a neighboring interactive block;
- a wireless communications interface;
- a neighboring interactive block communications interface;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing non-transitory computer-readable instructions, that when executed are effective to cause the first interactive block to:
- receive, using the first communications interface, neighbor data from the neighboring interactive block;
- determine, based at least on the neighbor data and the orientation of the first interactive block, state data for the first interactive block and the neighboring interactive block;
- send, through the wireless communication interface, the state data to an electronic device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- display a task relating to a group of interactive blocks wirelessly connected to the electronic device;
- receive state data for the collection of interactive blocks, wherein the state data describes how a user manipulates the interactive blocks relative to each other while attempting to complete the task;
- determine task process for the task based on the state data;
- sending the task process to a network-based platform that scores tasks for a distributed user base;
- and
- receive a task score from the network-based platform that describes how well the user performed the task compared to other members of the user base that were presented the same task.
