Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de commande de jouets sur rails, en particulier de maquettes de voies ferrées ou de trains électriques. Selon l'invention, des modules de mémoire lisibles sans contact dans lesquels sont enregistrées des données d'identification univoques sont placés sur des voies montées, des segments de voie, des sémaphores ou des aiguillages, ou à proximité. Le système comprend par ailleurs au moins un appareil de lecture des modules de mémoire, qui se trouve sur ou dans le jouet. A l'approche ou lors du franchissement des modules de mémoire respectifs, les données enregistrées dans les modules sont détectées par l'appareil de lecture de mémoire. Selon l'invention, un module servant à la communication sans fil et à la création d'un réseau radio local est placé sur ou dans le jouet, en particulier l'automotrice ou la locomotive. Ce module sert à créer un réseau radio local de telle manière qu'un joueur se trouvant dans la zone du réseau radio exécute un mode jeu au moyen d'un dispositif informatique d'entrée et de sortie de données dans lequel est chargé un logiciel d'application. En mode jeu, les données détectées par le jouet à partir des modules de mémoire sont transmises sans fil au dispositif d'entrée et de sortie de données au moyen du module, et une action de jeu est déclenchée ou prescrite à l'aide du logiciel d'application.
