Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a plurality of wearable bands including at least two wrist bands, the wearable bands each including one or more accelerometers, one or more proximity sensors for determining distance to other wearable bands, an identification indicia, and a communications device; and a mobile device adapted to communicate with one or more of the plurality of wearable bands and to determine an exercise being performed by a wearer of the plurality of wearable bands based on information transmitted by the wearable bands; wherein the mobile device includes a cellular telephone, wherein the information transmitted by the wearable bands indicates a relative position and motion of user appendages upon which the wearable bands are worn, wherein the relative position and motion of the user appendages are computed based upon relative position and motion of the wearable bands determined by tracking changes in the position, movement, and orientation over time of the wearable bands using the accelerometers and proximity sensors, and wherein the exercise determined by the mobile device is used to play a video game running on the mobile device.
