Proximity Activated Game Based on Motion

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to a system and/or method for selectively obscuring a display of a hand-held electronic communications device. At least two devices may be employed by the system and/or method. A first and a second device each have at least one bidirectional transceiver, an accelerometer, and an electronic display. The first and second devices are paired to one another based on their proximity and/or associated users. A plurality of likenesses is displayed on each device. Commands and/or gestures are then carried out on either or both devices to make changes to the appearance of likenesses on each display.

1. A system for selectively obscuring a display of a hand-held electronic communications device, wherein each of a first and second said device comprises at least one bidirectional transceiver, an accelerometer, and an electronic display, the system carried out by way of:
receiving data indicating a relative position of said first and said second devices; based on said relative position data, determining when said first and said second devices are within a pre-defined distance from one another; based on said determining of said pre-defined distance, exhibiting:
a likeness of a user of said first device on said electronic display of said second device; andexhibiting a likeness of a user of said second device of said electronic display of said first device; obscuring from view each said likeness exhibited on said first device and said second device; based on movement data outputted by said accelerometer of said first device, at least partially unobscuring said likeness exhibited on said display of said first device; sending data to one of said first device or said second device, said data comprising information indicating that said user of said first device or said second device has selected said likeness of the other said user fastest.
