In the following description, exemplary embodiments of the learning drawing method and its applications to gaming methods of the present invention are provided for different scenarios, such as efficiently learning drawing graphic figures, gaming involving one player, gaming involving two or more players, learning drawing and gaming using one device or two devices connected via network, graphic figures including hand drawing curves and pre-stored pictures, devices including smart phones and tablet computers, etc.
Newly developed touch screen, which has been used in numerous electronic devices, such as cellular phones, tablet computers, instruments, etc., provides effective approaches for the electronic devices to accept input from human-beings and to display contents to human-beings. With this in mind new methods for education and entertainment can be invented.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a hand drawn figure system 10 constructed according to aspects of the present disclosure in one or more embodiments. The system 10 illustrates a general system architecture for hand drawn figure communication and processing. The system 10 and the method for hand drawn figure communication and processing to be implemented in the system 10 are described collectively with reference to FIG. 1.
The system 10 includes one or more touch screen devices, such as 12 and 14, operable to be coupled together through a data communication network 16. In the present embodiment, the system 10 includes two touch screen devices, respectively referred to as a first touch screen device 12 and a second touch screen device 14. A touch screen device (such as 12 or 14) refers to an electronic device having a touch screen for input and is operable to communicate with other similar devices through the data communication network 16. In one example, the touch screen device 12 (or 14) includes a mobile phone (such as smart phone), a tablet computer (such as an iPad), a laptop computer or a desktop computer.
Further illustrated in FIG. 2 is the touch screen device 12 (or 14). The touch screen device 12 includes a transmission module 20 operable to receive a hand-drawn figure from another mobile device through a data transmission network 16. The touch screen device 12 includes a touch screen 22 operable to receive a second hand-drawn figure entered by user. The touch screen device 12 also includes a figure processing module 24 operable to compare and correlate the first hand-drawn figure and the second hand-drawn figure and generate a comparing parameter based on the comparing and correlating. The touch screen device 12 may further include a display module 26 operable to display a hand drawn figure on the touch screen for a predefined duration. Various elements of the touch screen device 12 are integrated together to be functional to implement various operations of the disclosed method.
The hand drawn figure to be received, entered, displayed and processed by the touch screen device includes any hand-drawn figure, such as a readable symbol, a picture, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the readable symbol includes one of a letter, a number, a character, and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the picture includes one of a curved line, a figure, and combinations thereof.
Still referring to FIG. 1, the data communication network 16 includes one communication mechanism selected from the Internet, wireless relay connection (used for mobile phones), intranet, WiFi connection, Bluetooth, cable connection, or combinations thereof. In one example, two touch screen devices (12 and 14) are two tablet computers operable to be coupled together through WiFi connection. In another example, two touch screen devices (12 and 14) are two smart phones operable to be coupled together through a wireless relay connection.
In another embodiment, the system 10 includes only one touch screen device for function operations to be implemented thereon by users, such as two users in one example. In another embodiment, the system 10 includes a plurality of touch screen devices operable to be coupled together through the data communication network 16. In this case, one touch screen device functions as the first touch screen device 12 and the rest devices function as the second touch screen device 14, each being independently communicating with the first touch screen device 12.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method 30 constructed according to aspects of the present disclosure in one or more embodiments. The method 30 is implementable in the hand drawn figure system 10 of FIG. 1. The method 30 is described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 3. The method 30 includes an operation 32 to enter a first input that has a hand drawn figure to the first touch screen device 12. The hand drawn figure may be a symbol, a picture or combinations thereof. The entering of the first input is performed by a first user in a hand drawn mode.
The method 30 includes an operation 34 to send the first input from the first touch screen device 12 to the second touch screen device 14 through the data communication network 16. The operation 34 may be triggered by pressing a button of the first touch screen device 12, touching a symbol on the touch screen of the first device 12, or other proper action applicable to the first touch screen device 12. In the present embodiment, the operation 34 is executed by the first user.
The method 30 includes an operation 36 to receive a second input having a second hand drawn figure by the first touch screen device 12 from the second touch screen device 14 through the data communication network 16. The operation 34 may be triggered by a second user who is accessing the second touch screen device 14.
Once the first input is received by the second touch screen device 14, the first input is displayed in the display component of the second touch screen device 14 for a predefined duration, such as 3 seconds. The display duration may be related to the complexity of the first input. When the first input is more complicated, the display duration is longer. The second user enters the second input based on the first input and sends the second input to the first touch screen device through the data communication network 16. In one embodiment, the second input is a mimic of the first input. For example where the first input is a hand drawn picture, the second input is another picture hand drawn by the second user to mimic the hand drawn figure of the first input. In another embodiment, the second input is hand drawn message that is related to the hand drawn figure of the first input. For example where the first input is a hand drawn picture (such as a picture of a tree), the second input is a symbol (such as “tree” in English or a text in other language) that interpreters the meaning or representation of the hand drawn figure of the first input. In yet another embodiment, the second input is hand drawn message that is related to the hand drawn symbol of the first input. For example where the first input is a hand drawn symbol (such as a word “tree” in English), the second input is another symbol (such as a text for a tree in another language) that translates the meaning of the hand drawn symbol of the first input.
The method 30 includes an operation 38 by comparing and/or correlating the first input and the second input. The comparing and correlating may be implemented by a figure processing module 24 of the first touch screen device 12. In various embodiments, the comparing and correlating process may include picture processing (such as mapping); relating (such as relating a word to a picture); translating (such as translating a word or a phrase in one language to a word or phrase in another language); or a combinations thereof.
The method 30 also includes an operation 40 by generating a comparing parameter (or correlating parameter) based on the comparing and correlating process. In one embodiment, the comparing parameter is a numerical index, such as a score to evaluate how well the second user achieves. In another embodiment, the comparing parameter may alternatively or additionally include a message (such as “well done”) associated with the comparing result. For example, when the score is in a certain range, a text message is provided with the respective score. The method 30 may also include an operation to send the comparing parameter from the first touch screen device 12 to the second touch screen device 14.
In an alternative embodiment, the operations 38 and 40 are implemented in the second touch screen device 14. In this case, the operation 36 is eliminated. Instead, the method 30 includes another operation to receive the comparing parameter by the first touch screen device 12 from the second touch screen device 12 after the operations 38 and 40. In furtherance of the embodiment, the comparing parameter is also displayed in the display component of the first touch screen device 12 and is displayed in the display component of the second touch screen device 14 as well.
In an alternative embodiment, various operations are implemented in a single touch screen device. In this case, those operations related to communicating between two touch screen devices are optional or eliminated. Corresponding method and device to implement the same are described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. Languages for similar or equivalent features may be eliminated for simplicity.
FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic view of a touch screen device 46 according to one embodiment. The touch screen device 46 is an electronic device having a touch screen for input. In various examples, the touch screen device 46 includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer or a desktop computer. The touch screen device 46 includes a touch screen 22 operable to receive a second hand-drawn figure entered by user. The touch screen device 46 includes a figure processing module 24 operable to compare and correlate the first hand-drawn figure and the second hand-drawn figure and generate a comparing parameter based on the comparing and correlating. The touch screen device 46 further includes a display module 26 operable to display a hand drawn figure on the touch screen for a predefined duration. Various elements of the touch screen device 46 are integrated together to be functional to implement various operations of disclosed method.
The hand drawn figure to be received, entered, displayed and processed by the touch screen device 46 includes any hand-drawn figure, such as a readable symbol, a picture, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the readable symbol includes one of a letter, a number, a character, and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the picture includes one of a curved line, a figure, and combinations thereof.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method 50 constructed according to aspects of the present disclosure in other embodiments. The method 50 is implementable in the touch screen device 46 of FIG. 4. The method 5 includes an operation 52 to display a first figure on the touch screen device 46 for a period of time. In one embodiment, the first figure is a graphic figure hand drawn by a first person to the touch screen device 46. The hand drawn figure may be a symbol, a picture or combinations thereof. In an alternative embodiment, the first figure is provided from a figure database stored in a media integrated in or coupled with the touch screen device. It is noted that the first figure is only displayed for the period of time, which can be set, such as predefined at the beginning of the method 50 by the first person, or provided by default.
The method 50 includes an operation 54 to receive a second figure by the touch screen device 46. The second figure is a graphic figure and may include a readable symbol, a picture, or combinations thereof. The second figure is hand drawn to the touch screen device 46 by a second person. This input method is also referred to as touch screen mode. When the first figure is provided by the first person, the second person is different from the second person.
The second person looks at the first figure during the period of time when the first figure is displayed and tries to remember (memorize) the first figure. After the first figure disappears, the second person drew the second figure based on the first figure, especially based on the memorizing.
The method 50 includes an operation 58 by correlating (such as comparing) the first figure and the second figure. The correlating may be implemented by a figure processing module 24 of the first touch screen device 46. In various embodiments, the comparing and correlating process may include picture processing (such as mapping); relating (such as relating a word to a picture); translating (such as translating a word or a phrase in one language to a word or phrase in another language); or a combinations thereof.
The method 50 also includes an operation 60 by generating a correlating parameter (or comparing parameter) based on the correlating process. In one embodiment, the comparing parameter is a numerical index, such as a score to evaluate how well the second user achieves. In another embodiment, the comparing parameter may alternatively or additionally include a message associated with the comparing result. For example, when the score is in a certain range, a text message is provided with the respective score.
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a method of learning drawing graphic figures. First a first graphic figure 121, which is a graphic figure for a learner to learn, is shown on a screen of a device (101). The first graphic figure 121 disappears after a period of time, which can be set at the beginning of the process learning drawing graphic figures (102). The learner looks at the first graphic figure during the time period that the first graphic figure 121 is shown on the screen and tries to remember the contents of the first graphic figure 121. After the first figure disappears the learner draws a second graphic figure 122 on a touch screen to be as similar as possible to the first graphic figure (103). The second graphic figure 122 drawn by the learner is recorded. Then both the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure (collectively referred to as 131) are displayed on the screen and differences 141 between the two figures are indicated (104). The similarity of the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure is evaluated and an evaluation result is reported to the learner (105). This process helps the learner to grasp the skills to draw graphic figures quickly.
In various embodiments, at least one of the first device and the second device is an electric device, such as a touch screen phone, a touch screen tablet computer, a laptop computer, a flat panel display, or a desktop computer. The device displaying the first graphic figure and the device with a touch screen on which the learner draws the second graphic figure are not necessary the same device. In other embodiments, the first graphic figure may include a line, a curve, a drawing, a symbol, a picture, or combinations thereof.
FIG. 7 shows a time relationship for the displaying time period of the first graphic figure and the time period in which the second graphic figure is completed in FIG. 6. Time point 201 indicates the beginning of a duration when the first figure is displayed. Time point 202 indicates when the first figure disappears. Time point 203 indicates the beginning of the second figure being drawn. Time point 204 indicates when drawing the second figure finishes. The time period between time point 201 and time point 202 can be zero or a non-zero value. Time point 202 is before time point 203 in general.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the exemplary procedure of the method of learning drawing graphic figures as shown in FIG. 6. When the learning process is started (301), the time period of the first graphic figure being shown on the screen is set (302) or preset by default. A first graphic figure, picked by a learner for example, is displayed on a screen of a device (303). The learner looks at the first graphic figure and tries to remember the contents of the first figure (304). The first graphic figure disappears after the time period set at the beginning of the process (305). After the first graphic figure disappears the learner tries to re-draw the first graphic figure by drawing a second graphic figure on a touch screen of a device (306). The second graphic figure is recorded (307). Then both the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure are displayed and differences between the two figures are indicated (308). A similarity between the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure is evaluated and an evaluation result is reported to the learner, helping the learner to learn the differences between the first figure and the second figure the learner has just drawn (309). After that the program checks if the player wants to stop the process of learning drawing graphic figure (310). If the answer is “No”, the process goes back to step 303. If the answer is “Yes”, the learning process is stopped (311).
It is not necessary that the first graphic figure can be picked only from the local device with a database as shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 9 the device is able to receive the first graphic figure 121 from a remote memory device with a database 402 via a communication network 401. The communication network 401 can be a wireless phone network, Internet, or other communication networks. With the communication network the display device, the device with a touch screen, and the memory device are able to transmit graphic figures and other information to each other and are able to accept graphic figures and other information from each other, and are able to transmit and accept graphic figures and other information to and from the network according to various embodiments. The method of FIG. 8 may be an embodiment of the method 30 or the method 50.
FIG. 10 shows an exemplary embodiment of this invention's application to entertainment—a gaming method involving one player. A first graphic figure 521 is picked randomly from a database and displayed on a screen of a device (501). The first graphic figure disappears after a period of time, which can be set at the beginning of the game (502). A game player looks at the first graphic figure during the time period when the first graphic figure is shown on the screen and remembers the contents of the first graphic figure. After the first graphic figure disappears the player draws a second graphic figure 522 on a touch screen of a device to be as similar as possible to the first figure (503). The second graphic figure drawn by the player is recorded. A similarity between the second graphic figure and the first graphic figure is evaluated (504). A score is calculated based on the evaluation result (505). This finishes one run of the game. The number of runs in a game can be set by the game player. The device displaying the first graphic figure and the device with a touch screen on which the game player draws the second graphic figure are not necessary the same device.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the exemplary game method shown in FIG. 10. When a game is started (601), a time period of a first graphic figure is shown on the screen is set and a number of runs of the game is set as well (602). A first graphic figure is displayed on a screen of a device (603). A player looks at the first graphic figure and remembers the contents of the first figure (604). The first graphic figure disappears after the time period set at the beginning of the game (605). After the first graphic figure disappears the player tries to re-draw the first graphic figure by drawing a second graphic figure on a touch screen of a device (606). The second graphic figure is recorded (607). A similarity between the first figure and the second figure is evaluated and a score is calculated based on the similarity for the player (608). The program checks if the game has repeated the number of runs set at the beginning of the game (609). If the answer is “No”, the process goes back to step 603 and repeats another run. If the answer is “Yes”, then the player's overall score is calculated and displayed (610) and the game is stopped (611).
It is not necessary that the first graphic figure is picked from a local device with a database for the gaming method shown in FIG. 10. As another embodiment shown in FIG. 12 the device is able to receive a first graphic figure 521 from a remote memory device with a database 702 via a communication network 701. The communication network 701 can be a wireless phone network, Internet, or other communication networks. With the communication network the display device, the device with a touch screen, and the memory device are able to transmit graphic figures, scores and other information to each other and are able to accept graphic figures, scores and other information from each other, and are able to transmit and accept graphic figures, scores and other information to and from the network.
FIG. 13 shows an exemplary embodiment of this invention's application to entertainment—a gaming method involving two or more players. When the game starts a first graphic figure 821 is drawn by a first player on a touch screen of a device (801). A second player looks at the first graphic figure and remembers the contents of the first graphic figure. The first graphic figure 821 disappears after a period of time which can be set before the beginning of the game (802). After the first graphic figure disappears the second player draws a second graphic figure 822 on a touch screen of a device (803). The second player tries to repeat the first figure and make the second figure 822 to be as similar to the first graphic figure 821 as possible. Both the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure are recorded. A similarity between the first figure and the second figure is evaluated and a first score based on the result of the evaluation is calculated for the second player (804). Then the roles of the first player and the second player are exchanged. A third graphic figure 831 is drawn by a second player on a touch screen of a device (805). The first player looks at the third graphic figure and remembers the contents of the third graphic figure. The third graphic figure 831 disappears after a period of time which can be set before the beginning of the game (806). After the third graphic figure disappears the first player draws a fourth graphic figure 832 on a touch screen of a device (807). The first player tries to repeat the third figure and make the fourth figure 832 to be as similar to the third graphic figure 831 as possible. Both the third graphic figure and the fourth graphic figure are recorded. A similarity between the third figure and the fourth figure is evaluated and a second score based on the result of the evaluation is calculated for the first player. The game may continue to have as many runs as the players want. At the end of the game the person who has an overall higher score is declared as the winner of the game.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the exemplary gaming method as shown in FIG. 13. When a game is started (901), a time period of displaying a first graphic figure and a third graphic figure on a screen is set and a number of runs of a game is set as well (902). A first player draws a first graphic figure on a touch screen (903). A second player looks at the first graphic figure and remembers the contents of the first figure (904). The first graphic figure disappears after the time period set at the beginning of the game (905). After the first graphic figure disappears the second player tries to re-draw the first graphic figure, which has been just drawn by the first player, by drawing a second graphic figure on a touch screen of a device (906). Both the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure are recorded (907). The second player's score is calculated based on similarity between the first figure and the second figure (908). Then the first player and the second player switch their roles. The second player draws a third graphic figure on a screen of a device (909). The first player looks at the third graphic figure and remembers the contents of the third graphic figure (910). The third figure disappears after the period of time set at the beginning of the game (911). After the third figure disappears, the first player tries to re-draw the third figure by drawing a fourth graphic figure on a touch screen of a device (912). Both the third figure and the fourth figure are recorded (913). The first player's score is calculated based on similarity between the third figure and the fourth figure (914). The first player's score and the second player's score are recorded (915). The game program checks if the game has repeated the number of runs set at the beginning of the game (916). If the answer is “No”, the game goes back to step 903 and repeats another run. If the answer is “Yes”, a winner of the game is declared based on an overall score comparison between the first player and the second player (917). Then the game stops (918).
It is not necessary the two players draw the first graphic figure, the second graphic figure, the third graphic figure, and the fourth graphic figure on the same device with a touch screen. As shown in FIG. 15 the first player and the second player can use different devices, which are connected via a communication network 1001, such as a wireless phone network, Internet, or other communication networks. With the communication network the two devices are able to transmit graphic figures, scores and other information to each other and are able to accept graphic figures, scores and other information from each other, and are able to transmit and accept graphic figures, scores and other information to and from the network.
The score of the first player is not necessary proportional to the similarity of the third graphic figure and the fourth graphic figure and the score of the second player is not necessary proportional to the similarity of the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure. For example, the first player's score can be calculated not only based on similarity between the third figure and the fourth figure, but also based on the complexity of the third graphic figure. A second figure with high similarity to a simple first figure may have same score as a second figure with low similarity to a complex first figure. In this way the second player must weigh how complicated his drawing should be to have the first player to have a low score. The same principle can be applied to the second player's score as well.
One embodiment of the present invention involves a method of learning how to draw graphic figures. A first graphic figure is displayed on a screen of a device. The first graphic figure is only displayed on the screen for a short period of time. A person looks at the first graphic figure during the time period in which it is displayed, remembers the contents of the first graphic figure. After the first figure disappears the person tries to re-draw the first graphic figure by drawing a second graphic figure on a touch screen based on remembering the first figure. After the person finishes drawing the second graphic figure both the first graphic figure and the second graphic figure are displayed and differences between the first figure and the second figure are indicated. The person improves the person's drawing skills by studying the differences.
Another embodiment of the present invention involves an application of the method to a game method involving one player. A first graphic figure, selected randomly form a database, is displayed on a first screen of a first device. The first graphic figure is only displayed on the screen to a player for a short period of time. The player looks at the first graphic figure during the time period in which it is displayed and remembers the contents of the first figure. After the first graphic figure disappears the player tries to re-draw the first figure by drawing a second graphic figure based on remembering the first figure on a touch screen of a second device. The second graphic figure is recorded. A score is calculated based on similarity between the first figure and the second figure for the player.
Yet another embodiment of the present invention involves an application of the method to a game method involving two or more players. A first player draws a first graphic figure on a touch screen. The first graphic figure is only displayed on the screen for a short period of time. A second player looks at the first graphic figure and remembers the contents of the first figure. After the first graphic figure disappears the second player tries to re-draw the first figure by drawing a second graphic figure based on remembering the first figure on the touch screen. The first figure and the second figure are recorded and a score related to similarity between the first figure and the second figure is calculated for the second player. Then the second player draws a third graphic figure on the touch screen. The third graphic figure is only displayed on the screen for a short period of time. The first player looks at the third graphic figure and remembers the contents of the third figure. After the third graphic figure disappears the first player tries to re-draw the third figure by drawing a fourth graphic figure based on remembering the third figure on the touch screen. The third figure and the fourth figure are recorded and a score related to similarity between the third figure and the fourth figure is calculated for the first player. The game continues until it is stopped. The player who has an overall higher score is declared to be a winner at the end of the game.
Especially, first graphic figure is displayed on the device screen only for a short period of time. The first graphic figure disappears before the second graphic figure is drawn. This forces the person, who tries to re-draw the first graphic figure, to remember the contents of the first figure, and to re-draw the first figure on the touch screen with the person's memory. With this approach showing the first figure only for a short period of time people will be more efficient in learning drawing graphic figures.
