La présente invention concerne un système de jeu comprenant une tablette numérique à écran capacitif, au moins un pion à signature capacitive qui intègre un circuit de commande électronique, un dispositif de pilotage dudit pion sur ledit écran et un logiciel de traitement de la tablette numérique qui comprend une couche logicielle qui boucle la position longitudinale, latérale et angulaire du pion sur l'écran capacitif selon les instructions d'actions de jeu d'une couche logicielle applicative de jeu qui représente notamment également un plateau de jeu sur l'écran capacitif de ladite tablette numérique. Selon l'invention, de manière caractéristique, ledit pion intègre un couple de vibreur disposés en parallèle dans la pyramide de sustentation définie par la base du trépied plan du pied capacitif dudit pion et le centre de gravité dudit pion et ledit logiciel de traitement de ladite tablette numérique comprend l'actionnement à distance par une transmission sans fil desdits vibreurs pour déplacer ledit pion selon les instructions d'actions de jeu. The present invention relates to a gaming system comprising a capacitive screen digital tablet, at least one capacitive signature pin which integrates an electronic control circuit, a device for controlling said pin on said screen and a software for processing the digital tablet which comprises a software layer which loops the longitudinal, lateral and angular position of the pin on the capacitive screen in accordance with the game action instructions of a gaming software application layer which also notably represents a game board on the capacitive screen of said digital tablet. According to the invention, typically, said counter integrates a pair of vibrators arranged in parallel in the lift pyramid defined by the base of the tripod plane of the capacitive foot of said pin and the center of gravity of said pin and said processing software of said digital tablet comprises remote actuation by a wireless transmission of said vibrators for moving said pawn according to the game action instructions.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture des figures annexées qui représentent un mode particulier de l'invention sur lesquelles :  The invention will be better understood on reading the appended figures which represent a particular embodiment of the invention in which:
- La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus d'une tablette numérique - Figure 1 shows a top view of a digital tablet
- Les figures 2a, 2b une vue de dessous et en coupe d'un pion selon la présente invention - Figures 2a, 2b a bottom view and in section of a pin according to the present invention
- La figure 3 représente un vibreur moteur de pion selon l'invention FIG. 3 represents a pion engine vibrator according to the invention
- La figure 4 représente un système de pilotage de pion dans un jeu interactif selon un mode perfectionné de l'invention FIG. 4 shows a pion piloting system in an interactive game according to an improved mode of the invention
La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus d'une tablette numérique (1 ) avec son écran capacitif (E) et un pion (P) posé sur l'écran capacitif (E). Les figures 2a, 2b une vue de dessous et en coupe d'un pion (P) selon la présente invention, avec des pieds de signature capacitive (10a, 10b, 10c). Ces pieds de signature capacitive sont un moyen connu qui permet 1 - de donner la position du pion en X,Y sur l'écran de la tablette 2 - de donner l'orientation angulaire du pion (P) sur le plan de l'écran de la tablette. Le pion compte un couple de vibreur (V1 , V2) plus particulièrement décrit en figure 3. Ces vibreurs (V&, V2) sont inscrits dans la pyramide de sustentation du pion définie par la base du trépied plan des trois pieds capacitifs et par le centre de gravité (G) du pion en sommet de la pyramide. Le pion (P) comprend également un circuit électronique (C) avec son alimentation, son intelligence, ses moyens de communication sans fil. Ce circuit électronique permet de dialoguer avec la tablette numérique et permet également de renvoyer les instructions de pilotage aux deux vibreurs qui seront moteurs pour le déplacement du pion. Les pieds capacitifs siont préférentiellement dans une dureté comprise entre 0,3 et 0,7. L'élasticité de cette dureté est conçue 1 - suffisamment élastique de façon à rester stable sur l'écran capacitif après chaque mouvement 2 - suffisamment dure de façon à rebondir et avancer lorsque le vibreur est actionné. En effet comme représenté en figure 3, le vibreur est réalisé à partir d'une petite masselotte excentrée qui est entraînée en rotation et qui à partir d'une certaine vitesse critique de rotation génère une vibration. Sous l'effet de cette vibration avant ou arrière, le support pied avance ou recule. En disposant deux de ces vibreurs en parallèle, l'opérateur du pion pilote le pion en déplacement. Si les deux vibreurs (V1 , V2) tournent dans le même sens alors le pion avance dans le sens de rotation des vibreurs. Si un vibreur est actionné dans un sens et l'autre vibreur dans l'autre sens, alors le pion tourne sur lui-même. La couche de pilotage du logiciel applicatif boucle alors la position du pion et pilote l'action des moteurs vibreurs (V1 , V2) pour positionner le pion selon les instructions de positionnement la couche de positionnement du logiciel applicatif. La figure 4 représente un système de pilotage de pion dans un jeu interactif selon un mode perfectionné de l'invention dans lequel la tablette numérique de jeu comprend plusieurs pions dont le déplacement est piloté par d'autres tablettes distantes. Typiquement chaque joueur pilote son pion sur la tablette numérique avec son propre téléphone numérique qui dialogue à distance avec la couche applicative du logiciel de jeu présent sur la tablette numérique. FIG. 1 represents a view from above of a digital tablet (1) with its capacitive screen (E) and a pin (P) placed on the capacitive screen (E). Figures 2a, 2b a bottom view and in section of a pin (P) according to the present invention, with capacitive signature feet (10a, 10b, 10c). These capacitive signature feet are a known means which allows 1 - to give the position of the X, Y pin on the screen of the tablet 2 - to give the angular orientation of the pin (P) on the plane of the screen of the tablet. The counter has a pair of vibrators (V1, V2) more particularly described in FIG. 3. These vibrators (V &, V2) are inscribed in the pyramid of levitation of the pin defined by the base of the tripod plane of the three capacitive feet and by the center gravity (G) of the pawn at the top of the pyramid. The pin (P) also comprises an electronic circuit (C) with its power supply, its intelligence, its wireless communication means. This electronic circuit makes it possible to communicate with the digital tablet and also makes it possible to return the control instructions to the two vibrators which will be engines for the movement of the pawn. The capacitive feet are preferably in a hardness of between 0.3 and 0.7. The elasticity of this hardness is designed 1 - sufficiently elastic so as to remain stable on the capacitive screen after each movement 2 - sufficiently hard so as to bounce and advance when the vibrator is actuated. Indeed As shown in Figure 3, the vibrator is made from a small eccentric flyweight which is rotated and which from a certain critical speed of rotation generates a vibration. Under the effect of this forward or backward vibration, the foot support moves forward or backward. By arranging two of these vibrators in parallel, the pion operator controls the moving pawn. If the two vibrators (V1, V2) turn in the same direction then the pin advances in the direction of rotation of the vibrators. If a vibrator is activated in one direction and the other vibrator in the other direction, then the counter turns on itself. The control layer of the application software then loops the position of the pin and controls the action of the vibrating motors (V1, V2) to position the pin according to the positioning instructions the positioning layer of the application software. FIG. 4 shows a pion piloting system in an interactive game according to an improved mode of the invention in which the digital game tablet comprises several pieces whose movement is controlled by other remote tablets. Typically each player drives his pawn on the digital tablet with his own digital phone that remotely dialog with the application layer of the game software present on the digital tablet.

Il est bien entendu que la présente invention peut être étendue à des pions dont la position soit reconnue autrement que par écran tactile en particulier sur des plateaux en carton, avec des techniques de reconnaissance de position par onde, du type onde sonore ou onde infra-rouge. . On voit bien que de nombreuses variantes éventuellement susceptibles de se combiner peuvent ici être apportées sans jamais sortir du cadre de l'invention tel qu'il est défini ci-après. It is understood that the present invention may be extended to pions whose position is recognized other than by touch screen, particularly on cardboard trays, with wave position recognition techniques, of the sound wave or infra-red wave type. red. . It is clear that many variants may possibly be combined here can be made without ever departing from the scope of the invention as defined below.
