Interactive playground system with enhanced user interaction and computerized method for providing enhanced user interaction in a playground system

A computer implemented method for providing personalized user interaction in a playground system having a user identification sensor, a microphone, a speaker and nodes including output elements, the method comprising:

• a user identification process including:
• acquiring user identification data of the user from the user identification sensor;
• matching the user identification data with corresponding user identification data stored in a database to identify the current user;
• and
• marking the identified user as being currently active on the playground system;
• a speech recognition process including:
• acquiring user speech data from the microphone;
• interpreting the acquired user speech data;
• generating user interaction instructions based on the interpreted user speech data, the generated user interaction instructions being one of conversation instructions and game action instructions;
• and
• at least one of implementing the conversation instructions through output of audio data by the speaker and implementing the game action instructions through control of the output components of the nodes;
• a personalised instruction process including:
• receiving personal user data;
• processing the personal user data;
• generating user specific conversation instructions;
• and
• implementing the user specific conversation instructions through output of audio data by the speaker.
