Patent ID: 7371177

Claim:
A module comprising: a processor; a display operably coupled to said processor; and a communication device operably coupled to said processor, wherein said processor is programmed to control a simulated character, wherein an image associated with the simulated character is displayable on said display, and wherein the image is displayable on a second display of a second module to simulate movement of the simulated character from a first virtual region associated with the module to a second virtual region associated with the second module, the first virtual region being different from the second virtual region, wherein the module is operable to communicate with the second module using said communication device and wherein the processor is programmed to display a first animation sequence if the module and the second module are arranged in a first physical configuration, the first animation sequence simulating movement of the simulated character from the first virtual region to the second virtual region, and wherein the processor is programmed to display a second animation sequence if the module and the second module are arranged in a second physical configuration, the second physical configuration being different from the first physical configuration, the second animation sequence simulating movement of the simulated character from the first virtual region to the second virtual region, and the first animation sequence being different from the second animation sequence.
