The mark 26 that the recreation part can have any appropriate, for example first group echo 66 and second group echo 68.This first and second group echo can comprise one or more letters, numeral, alphanumeric code, symbol, color etc.For example, first and second group echos can comprise the first mark square 78 and the second mark square 80, as shown in Figure 4.
Each recreation part can comprise the mark (as, first mark) of first group echo and the mark of second group echo (as, second mark), has with other recreation part and compares different or unique properties of combination, for example, the luminous intensity that reflects from mark.For example, the first mark square can move and be blocked (for example, the more or less light of reflection) that becomes along the X-coordinate between the recreation part along with the recreation doll more or lessly.
Extraly, or alternately, the second mark square can move and becomes and be blocked more or lessly along the Y-coordinate between the recreation part along with the recreation doll, as shown in Figure 4.As described above, when changing, also can be called as X-coordinate mark from the mark of first group echo, and also can be called as Y-coordinate mark from the mark of second group echo from the scalar nature of first and second group echos.
And first and second squares can be configured to, and make the light that is reflected comprise the color of any appropriate.For example, one or more first mark squares can comprise redness (or reflecting about 630 light to about 700 nanometer wavelength range), and one or more second mark square can comprise blueness (or reflecting about 450 light to about 490 nanometer wavelength range).The difference of the color property between the first and second mark squares can allow the to play sensor subsystem of doll is distinguished between square.
For example, the first sensor device can comprise red filter, with guarantee sensor device detect and/or measure about 630 to about 700 nanometer wavelength range luminous intensity (promptly, red square), second sensor device can comprise blue filter simultaneously, to guarantee that sensor device detects and/or measures in about 450 luminous intensities (that is blue square) to about 490 nanometer wavelength range.Although for the first and second mark squares specific color has been discussed, the recognizable any appropriate color of the sensor subsystem of the doll of playing all can be used, for example, and filtrable color.
Extraly, although first and second group echos are shown as specific dimensions with recreation size partly relatively, those marks can be the sizes of any appropriate.For example, first and second group echos can be little a lot of with respect to the size of recreation part.In certain embodiments, those marks can be very little dimensionally with respect to the recreation part, makes that those marks hardly can be by user's identification with the naked eye.
And although the light and shade of first and second squares is shown as and strengthens linearly or weaken, the light and shade of those squares can change in any suitable manner, comprises random fashion, as shown in Figure 5.In addition, comprise square, can use the mark of any appropriate although first and second group echos are shown as.For example, first and second group echos can comprise the first mark circle 82 and the second mark circle 84, as shown in Figure 6.
First and/or the second group echo circle can comprise the circle 88 of outer circle 86 and inner crested, inner circle can pass moving of recreation part and have different-diameter from zero diameter to the outer circle vary in diameter along with the recreation doll, and the recreation part is not separated by line among Fig. 6.Although being shown as for the diameter of the inside circle of the first and second mark circles increases linearly or reduce, the diameter character of inner circle can change in any way, comprises random fashion.
Extraly, although various measure or the scalar nature of various inside diameters is illustrated in Fig. 4 to Fig. 6, alternately, or extraly, the character of mark can any desired manner change, so that provide different or unique mark for each recreation part.For example, mark can be different at aspects such as shape, overall dimensions.And, in above accompanying drawing, schematically shown game station 20, with the representational example of assembly that general game station is shown, rather than to limit its geometry, shape and size especially.
Comprise recreation doll 22 and game area 24 although game station 20 is shown as, alternately, or extraly, game station can comprise other assembly.For example, game station can comprise the detector calibrator, as, the detector calibration plate, it can be used to calibrate the photoelectric detector of recreation doll.
