Patent ID: 7017905

Claim:
An electronic die for randomly selecting an outcome that is a number between one and six, comprising: a six-sided, cube-shaped body adapted to be rolled by a user to decide the outcome; one discrete LED centered on a first side of the body, representing the number one; two discrete LEDs located in diagonally opposite corners of a second side of the body, representing the number two; three discrete LEDs located along a diagonal of a third side of the body, representing the number three, one of the three LEDs being centered on the third side and two of the three LEDs being located in diagonally opposite corners of the third side; four discrete LEDs located on a fourth side of the body, representing the number four, each of the four LEDs being located in a respective corner of the fourth side; five discrete LEDs located on a fifth side of the body, representing the number five, one of the five LEDs being centered on the fifth side and each of the other five LEDs being located in a respective corner of the fifth side; six discrete LEDs located on a sixth side of the body, representing the number six, three of the six LEDs being aligned in a first row located along a first edge of the sixth side and the other three of the six LEDs being aligned in a second row located along a second edge of the sixth side, the second edge being opposite the first edge, whereby the electronic die includes a total of twenty-one LEDs; an electronic circuit, located within the body, for causing the twenty-one LEDs on the sides of the body to flash in a predetermined pattern; a sensor, located within the body, for triggering the electronic circuit to flash the twenty-one LEDs according to the predetermined pattern in response to the electronic die being rolled; and at least one battery, located in the cube-shaped body, for powering the electronic circuit and the twenty-one LEDs; wherein after the electronic die is rolled and comes to a stop, the outcome of the roll is the number of discrete LEDs on an upward-facing side of the body.
