The keeper's note

Identifies targets on a display by matching a color value captured by a users device camera against displayed target colors, for an interactive shooting-style game.

Abstract

There is provided a system including a memory and aprocessor configured to display targets on a display, each target having at least one target color, receive an input signal transmitted by a user device indicating at least one color value obtained from an image captured by the user device, the image including a portion of one of the targets displayed on the display, compare the color value indicated by theinput signal with each of target colors in a target color database, determine the input signal is indicative of a first target of the targets based on a match between the color value indicated by the input signal and one of the target colors in the target color database, and execute an event involving the first target, in response to determining that the input signal is indicative of the first target of the targets.

Background

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS(1) FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an exemplary system for identifying targets on a display, according to one implementation of the present disclosure;(2) FIG. 2 shows a diagram of an exemplary user device for use with the system of FIG. 1, according to one implementation of the present disclosure;(3) FIG. 3 shows a diagram of an exemplary operation of the system of FIG. 1, according to one implementation of the present disclosure; and(4) FIG. 4 shows a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method of identifying targets on a display, according to one implementation of the present disclosure.DETAILED DESCRIPTION(5) The following description contains specific information pertaining to implementations in the present disclosure. The drawings in the present application and their accompanying detailed description are directed to merely exemplary implementations. Unless noted otherwise, like or corresponding elements among the figures may be indicated by like or corresponding reference numerals. Moreover, the drawings and illustrations in the present application are generally not to scale, and are not intended to correspond to actual relative dimensions.(6) FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an exemplary system for identifying targetson a display, according to one implementation of the present disclosure. System 100 includes computing device 110, user device 160, and display 190. As shown in FIG. 1, user device 160 may be wirelessly connected to computing device 11

Claims

1. A system comprising: a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a target color database including a plurality of target colors; a display; and a hardware processor executing the executable code to: display a plurality of targets on the display, each of the plurality of targets having at least one target color of the plurality of target colors; receive an input signal transmitted by a user device, the input signal being indicative of at least one color value obtained from an image captured by the user device, the image including a portionof one of the plurality of targets displayed on the display; compare the at least one color value indicated by the input signal with each of the plurality of target colors in the target color database; determine, in response to comparing, the input signal is indicativeof a first target of the plurality of targets based on a match between the at least one color value indicated by the input signal and one of the plurality of target colors in the target color database; and execute an event involving the first target, in response to determining that the input signal is indicative of the first target of the plurality of targets. 11. A method for use with a system comprising a display, a non-transitory memory, and a hardware processor, the method comprising: displaying, using the hardware processor, a plurality of targets on the display, each of the plurality of targets having at least one target color; receiving, using the hardware processor, an input signal transmitted by a user device, the input signal being indicative of at least one color value obtained from an image captured by the user device, the image including a portion of one of the plurality oftargets displayed on the display; comparing, using the hardware processor, the at least one color value indicated by the input signal with each of a plurality of target colors in a target color database; determining, using the hardware processor, in response to comparing, the input signal is indicative of a first target of the plurality of targets based on a match between the at least one color value indicated by the input signal and one of the plurality of target colors in the target color database; and executing, using the hardwareprocessor, an event involving the first target, in response to determining that the inputsignal is indicative of the first target of the plurality of targets.
