DATA STORE FOR A MODULAR ASSEMBLY SYSTEM

摘要

A data store for a modular assembly system is described. The data store comprises a number of records, each record relating to a physical module in the modular assembly system and comprising a module ID, an owner ID for the module and one or more properties fields. The properties field(s) define any property of the module and different records may define different properties. At least one of the fields in each data record (e.g. the module ID or owner ID) is verified by an authentication service. A user assembles two or more modules into a coherent physical whole object to act as a user input device to an interactive software experience. The data store communicates with the interactive software experience and causes a change in behavior of the interactive software experience in response to a check of the data records for each of the modules in the object.

主权项

1. A system comprising a data store arranged to store a plurality of data records associated with physical hardware modules which can be assembled by a user to form a coherent physical whole object which acts as a user input device for an interactive software experience, each data record relating to a physical hardware module and comprising:
an identifier for the module; and at least one field defining a property of the module,wherein at least one field in the data record is verified by an authentication service and wherein the data store is further arranged to communicate with the interactive software experience to cause a change in behavior of the interactive software experience in response to a check of a plurality of data records in the data store.
