The present invention generally relates to systems, methods and applications utilizing the convergence of any combination of the following three technologies: wireless positioning or localization technology, wireless communications technology and sensor technology. In particular, certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a remote device that includes a sensor for determining or measuring a desired parameter, a receiver for receiving position data from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite system, a processor for determining whether or not alert conditions are present and a wireless transceiver for transmitting the measured parameter data and the position data to a central station, such as an application service provider (ASP). The ASP, in turn, may communicate the measured data, position data and notification of any alerts to an end user via an alert device. The present invention also relates to various applications and systems utilizing the capabilities of such a device.

Systems and methods are disclosed for a baseball simulation device configured to provide an input for various baseball video games being played on gaming platforms such as a personal computer, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, XBOX, XBOX360, and the like. In one embodiment, the simulation device includes a signal emitter assembly attached to a bat, and detector assembly on a base unit shaped like a home plate. Various techniques for detecting different batting moves, such as hits to different directions, bunts, or checked swing, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the base unit can receive a conventional game controller for the gaming platform, thereby allowing operation of the gaming platform without having to remove the simulation device. In one embodiment, the base unit also has changeable firmware that allows different configuration for playing of different baseball video games.

A system and method for interfacing a simulation device with a gaming device is disclosed. The system comprises a video game controller and a sensor. The controller is configured to mimic certain aspects of standard game controllers, providing control functions to a video game, with added functionality to accept input of an external control signal. The game controller is further configured to allow one or more of its control functions to be overridden by control functions provided by the external control signal. The sensor measures simulation parameters representative of actions performed on the simulation device and outputs simulation control signals representative of the simulation parameters. The sensor simulation control signals may be input to the game controller to provide control functions to the video game using both the simulation device and the game controller.
