Claims (58)

1. A method of interacting with a gaming device, the method comprising:

detecting, via a detector device, at least one input by a user of the gaming device, the at least one input corresponding to at least one input instruction to control the gaming device;

comparing, by at least one processor, the at least one input to a plurality of predetermined input instructions stored in a memory;

identifying an input instruction based on a match between the at least one input and at least one of the plurality of predetermined input instructions;

and

controlling, based on the identified input instruction, the gaming device to perform at least one of adding, editing and removing an audio user instruction or a motion user instruction, wherein the adding the motion user instruction further includes:

adding an instruction to cause the gaming device to contact one or more teammates of the user to organize a gaming session and to substitute virtual players into the gaming session until the one or more teammates join the gaming session.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

initiating a game learning mode via the at least one input instruction.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the at least one input comprises:

detecting the at least one input using at least one of a motion sensor, camera and microphone.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the at least one input by a user further comprises:

detecting a motion of a hand of the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the input instruction further comprises:

producing an image of the at least one input; and

comparing the image of the at least one input to a plurality of predetermined images corresponding to the plurality of predetermined input instructions.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the initiating a game learning mode comprises:

initiating a game learning mode based on at least one of a body movement instruction and a voice input instruction.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the input instruction comprises:

producing an audio command from the at least one input; and

comparing the audio command to a plurality of predetermined audio commands stored in the memory.

8. A gaming system, comprising:

a memory;

a processor; and

a detector device configured to detect at least one input by a user of the gaming system, the at least one input corresponding to at least one input instruction;

wherein the processor is configured to:

compare the at least one input instruction to a plurality of predetermined input instructions stored in the memory, and

identify an input instruction based on a match between the at least one input and at least one of the plurality of predetermined input instructions, and

wherein the processor is further configured to:

control, based on the identified input instruction, the gaming system to perform at least one of adding, editing and removing an audio user instruction or a motion user instruction, wherein, when the processor is to add the the motion user instruction, the processor further is to:

add an instruction to cause the gaming system to contact one or more teammates of the user to organize a gaming session and to substitute virtual players into the gaming session until the one or more teammates join the gaming session.

9. The gaming system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one input comprises at least one of a body movement instruction and a voice input instruction.

10. The gaming system of claim 8 , wherein the detector device is at least one of a motion sensor, camera and microphone.

11. The gaming system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one input is a motion of a hand of the user.

12. The gaming system of claim 8 , wherein, when the processor is configured to identify the input instruction, the processor is further configured to:

produce an image of the at least one input; and

compare the image of the at least one input to a plurality of predetermined images corresponding to the plurality of predetermined input instructions.

13. The gaming system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:

initiate a game learning mode via the at least one input instruction.

14. The gaming system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one input is an audio command, and wherein the processor is further configured to:

compare the audio command to a plurality of predetermined audio commands stored in the memory.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a cause the processor to perform:

detecting, via a detector device, at least one input by a user of the gaming device, the at least one input corresponding to at least one input instruction to control the gaming device;

comparing, by at least one processor, the at least one input to a plurality of predetermined input instructions stored in a memory;

identifying an input instruction based on a match between the at least one input and at least one of the plurality of predetermined input instructions;

and

controlling, based on the identified input instruction, the gaming device to perform at least one of adding, editing and removing an audio user instruction or a motion user instruction, wherein the adding the motion user instruction further includes:

adding an instruction to cause the gaming device to contact one or more teammates of the user to organize a gaming session and to substitute virtual players into the gaming session until the one or more teammates join the gaming session.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform:

initiating a game learning mode via the at least one input instruction.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the detecting the at least one further input instruction comprises:

detecting the at least one input using at least one of a motion sensor, camera and microphone.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least one input by a user comprises a motion of a hand of the user.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the identifying the input instruction further comprises:

producing an image of the at least one input; and

comparing an image of the at least one input to a plurality of predetermined images corresponding to the plurality of predetermined input instructions.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the initiating a game learning mode comprises:

initiating a game learning mode based on at least one of a body movement instruction and a voice input instruction.
