“MICROCONTROLLER-CONTROLLED ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SPECIAL EFFECTS THROUGH THE CONTROL AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF LIGHT AND SOUND” is an electronic device with a microcontroller that by controlling the brightness and color of RGB LEDs, which will illuminate the game surface, along with the an audio device control, such as an MP3 player, reproduces several special light and sound effects synchronically. In its complete version, it is comprised of a microcontroller, which controls four RGB LEDs and an MP3 player module connected to a memory, which generate the light and sound effects, synchronically. It also has a data communication module as well as an audio communication module, thus enabling the device in question to be utterly controlled by apps installed on mobile devices through a wireless connection.

Disclosed embodiments relate to computing devices simultaneously pairing with multiple near-field communication (NFC) devices. In one example, a system includes a processor and a touchscreen having a top layer logically partitioned into N zones overlaying a three-dimensional antenna having multiple layers together including at least N NFC antennae, and wherein the processor is configured to: map each of the N zones to one or more closest NFC antennae, display a user interface on the top layer, and when each of two or more NFC devices touches a respective touchscreen zone, select an NFC antenna to establish a peer-to-peer connection with the NFC device, read NFC tag data from the NFC device, and pass the NFC tag data to the application.

The invention relates to a player humanoid robot, a method and computer programs associated therewith. The prior art does not disclose any humanoid robot able to move on its lower limbs, to perform gestures, to communicate visual and/or audible signs, to receive same and interpret them so as to deduce therefrom appropriate behaviors for participating in a game in time as compere, questioner, questioned, investigator or mobile stake for the game. The hardware architectures, internal software and software for programming the robot of the invention make it possible to carry out these functions and to create new game experiences in which the boundaries between virtual world and real world are shifted once again.

The present invention features a dart board comprising a digital target display ring (DTDR) surrounding a target area. The DTDR is operatively connected to a controller with a microprocessor, wherein said microprocessor is configured to (a) receive an input signal from an input device when the input device is actuated, and (b) generate an output signal to the DTDR for the DTDR to display a unique graphic according to pre-programmed commands for the actuated input device.
