Method and apparatus for providing game service in a portable terminal

Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing a game in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes outputting an audio signal for indicating a specific indication through a speaker, obtaining user's motion data, and determining whether the user's motion data corresponds to the specific indication.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of providing a game in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
 outputting an audio signal for indicating a specific indication through a speaker;   obtaining user's motion data; and   determining whether the user's motion data corresponds to the specific indication.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user's motion data comprises at least one of a movement direction, an acceleration, and a rotation direction. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user's motion data is obtained by using at least one of a gyro sensor, a terrestrial magnetism sensor, and an acceleration sensor. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining whether the user's motion data corresponds to the specific indication comprises:
 obtaining sensor data corresponding to the specific indication; and   comparing whether the obtained sensor data is identical to the user's motion data.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein obtaining the sensor data corresponding to the specific indication comprises obtaining sensor data pre-mapped to the audio signal for indicating the specific indication. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein obtaining the sensor data corresponding to the specific indication comprises:
 detecting the audio signal for indicating the specific indication; and   determining sensor data corresponding to the detection result among pre-stored sensor data.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein obtaining the sensor data corresponding to the specific indication comprises:
 detecting the audio signal for indicating the specific indication; and   generating sensor data corresponding to the detection result according to a predetermined rule.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising determining a score according to whether the user's motion data corresponds to the specific indication. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising outputting an audio signal indicating a result according to whether the user's motion data is an operation corresponding to the specific indication. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein an audio signal for indicating the specific indication is output during a specific time period or at specific time intervals. 
     
     
         11 . An apparatus for providing a game in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
 an output unit for outputting an audio signal for indicating a specific indication through a speaker;   a motion detection sensor for obtaining a user's motion data; and   a controller for determining whether the user's motion data corresponds to the specific indication.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the motion detection sensor obtains the user's motion data by measuring at least one of a movement direction, an acceleration, and a rotation direction. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the motion detection sensor comprises at least one of a gyro sensor, a terrestrial magnetism sensor, and an acceleration sensor. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the controller obtains sensor data corresponding to the specific indication, and compares whether the obtained sensor data is identical to the user's motion data. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the controller obtains sensor data pre-mapped to the audio signal for indicating the specific indication. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the controller detects the audio signal for indicating the specific indication, and determines sensor data corresponding to the detection result among pre-stored sensor data. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the controller detects the audio signal for indicating the specific indication, and generates sensor data corresponding to the detection result according to a predetermined rule. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the controller determines a score according to whether the user's motion data corresponds to the specific indication. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the output unit outputs an audio signal for indicating a result according to whether the user's motion data is an operation corresponding to the specific indication. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the output unit outputs an audio signal for indicating the specific indication during a specific time period or at specific time intervals.
