Patent ID: 7702608

Claim:
A system for recognizing motions, the system comprising: a computing unit configured to include one or more motion recognizer generators that generate a set of motion recognizers for use in video games in response to a first training set of first motion signals; and at least one first handheld motion-sensitive device generating the first training set of first motion signals when the first handheld motion-sensitive device is being manipulated by a trainer, each of the first motion signals describing a motion of the first handheld motion-sensitive device over a period of time, each of the motion recognizers configured to generate a motion recognition signal in response to a second motion signal from a second handheld motion-sensitive device, wherein the computing unit is configured to tune the motion recognizers in response to one or more of a second set of motion signals generated from the second handheld motion-sensitive device when the second handheld motion-sensitive device is manipulated by an end user, each of the second set of motion signals describing at least one motion of the second handheld motion-sensitive device over a period of time.
