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.
Claims20
An interactive token special effect 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 interactive token information;
- 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 the interactive token information from the interactive token when the interactive token is engaged in the at least one slot;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive the interactive token information from the wireless communication circuitry;
- and
- generate instructions to activate a special effect based on the interactive token information.
An interactive token special effect system, comprising:
- at least one slot configured to receive and releasably engage an interactive token;
- wireless communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with communication circuitry of the interactive token to receive interactive token information from a memory of the interactive token when the interactive token is engaged in the at least one slot;
- and
- a special effect system configured to activate a special effect according to special effect instructions;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive the interactive token information from the wireless communication circuitry;
- and
- generate the special effect instructions to activate the special effect based on the interactive token information.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a signal indicative of engagement of an interactive token within a slot formed in an interactive token station;
- receiving interactive token information via wireless communication circuitry of the interactive token;
- generating special effect instructions based on the interactive token information;
- and
- activating a special effect based on the special effect instructions.
