Abstract

Presented herein are system and methods to facilitate yard games. A system can include one or more sensors such as an image capture device, output devices, and one or more processors coupled with memory. The system can receive a request to initiate a game within an area. The system can provide, via the output devices, a first prompt based on the request to initiate the game and an entity within the area. The system can determine, based on attributes of the entity detected by the image capture device, actions of the entity related to the first prompt. The system can provide, via the output devices, a second prompt based on the request to initiate the game and the actions of the entity.

Claims (53)

1 . A system comprising:

one or more sensors, including an image capture device;

output devices; and

one or more processors coupled with memory and configured to:

receive a request to initiate a game within an area;

provide, via the output devices, a first prompt based on the request to initiate the game and an entity within the area;

determine, based on attributes of the entity detected by the one or more sensors, actions of the entity related to the first prompt; and

provide, via the output devices, a second prompt based on the request to initiate the game and the actions of the entity.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

detect the entity within the area; and

provide the first prompt responsive to detecting the entity within the area.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the output devices comprise a speaker and the first prompt comprises an auditory instruction to perform the actions.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the output devices comprise a light source and the first prompt comprises changing a color of the light source.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein to determine the actions of the entity related to the first prompt comprises the one or more processors to determine actions of a plurality of entities and wherein the actions of the plurality of entities comprises the entity interacting with the plurality of entities.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

identify, responsive to providing the first prompt, an object within the area; and

determine the actions of the entity related to the object.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of entities comprises the entity and wherein the first prompt identifies a subset of the plurality of entities.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the actions of the entity comprise:

running, jumping, sitting, standing, gesticulating, or remaining stationary.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprises a depth capture device, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine, based on attributes of the entity detected by the depth capture device, a heart rate of the entity.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

provide, via the output devices, the first prompt including an instruction for the entity to remain stationary;

determine, based on attributes of the entity detected by the image capture device, actions of the entity comprising movement; and

provide, via the output devices, the second prompt comprising an identification of the entity based on the actions of the entity comprising movement.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the output devices comprise one or more of:

a light source;

a speaker;

a display device;

an appliance;

a lock;

an entrance; or

a water system.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein to identify the one or more actions, the one or more processors are configured to provide the attributes of the entity as inputs to a machine learning model.

13 . A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors coupled with memory, a request to initiate a game within an area;

providing, by the one or more processors via output devices, a first prompt based on the request to initiate the game and an entity within the area;

determining, by the one or more processors, based on attributes of the entity detected by one or more sensors, actions of the entity related to the first prompt; and

providing, by the one or more processors via the output devices, a second prompt based on the request to initiate the game and the actions of the entity.

14 . The method of claim 13 , comprising:

detecting, by the one or more processors using the one or more sensors, the entity within the area; and

providing, by the one or more processors via the output devices, the first prompt responsive to detecting the entity within the area.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the output devices comprise a speaker and the first prompt comprises an auditory instruction to perform the actions.

16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the output devices comprise a light source and the first prompt comprises changing a color of the light source.

17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein determining the actions of the entity related to the first prompt comprises determining, by the one or more processors, actions of a plurality of entities and wherein the actions of the plurality of entities comprises the entity interacting with the plurality of entities.

18 . The method of claim 13 , comprising:

identifying, by the one or more processors via the one or more sensors, responsive to providing the first prompt, an object within the area; and

determining, by the one or more processors, the actions of the entity related to the object.

19 . The method of claim 13 , wherein a plurality of entities comprises the entity and wherein the first prompt identifies a subset of the plurality of entities.

20 . The method of claim 13 , comprising:

providing, by the one or more processors via the output devices, the first prompt including an instruction for the entity to remain stationary;

determining, by the one or more processors based on attributes of the entity detected by the one or more sensors, actions of the entity comprising movement; and

providing, by the one or more processors via the output devices, the second prompt comprising an identification of the entity based on the actions comprising movement.
