Plant profile game system

Abstract

A plant profile game system includes a plant sensor device positioned in proximity to a plant which measures the plant environment and in conjunction with a mobile computing device compares the plant environment to ideal plant conditions for the plant as specified in the plant type profile. Game rewards, points of progression are assigned to the user on a mobile computing device when a plant is cared for correctly.

1 . A plant monitoring game system, the system comprising:
 at least one plant care condition to satisfy;   a mobile computing device, wherein said at least one plant care condition is compared to time or location information, and whereby rewards are given to a user for the care of a plant in accordance with satisfaction of said plant care condition.   
     
     
         2 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 1 , further including a plant sensor device acquiring sensor measurements, wherein said plant sensor device communicates said sensor measurements to said mobile computing device by radio link, wherein said sensor measurements are compared to said at least one plant condition, and whereby rewards are given to a user for the care of a plant in accordance with satisfaction of said plant care condition. 
     
     
         3 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 1 , wherein the said rewards are virtual points, game progression, points to care for a virtual character, or rewards used in a game application software on a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         4 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 2 , wherein the said rewards are virtual points, game progression, points to care for a virtual character or rewards used in a game application software on a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         5 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 1 , wherein said mobile computing device displays instructions or actions for plant care to said user according to said plant type profile conditions determined by time, location. 
     
     
         6 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 2 , wherein said mobile computing device displays instructions or actions for plant care to said user according to said plant type profile conditions determined by time, location or sensor measurements. 
     
     
         7 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 2 , wherein sensor measurements include air temperature, soil temperature, moisture, soil moisture, humidity, sunlight, soil acidity or soil conductivity, 
     
     
         8 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 1 , wherein the said rewards are physical goods or services. 
     
     
         9 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 2 , wherein the said rewards are physical goods or services. 
     
     
         10 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 2 , wherein said at least one plant care condition is compared to said sensor measurements, time or location information using said plant sensor device, and wherein said satisfaction of said plant care condition or a reward determination is communicated to said mobile computing device by radio link, and wherein said mobile computing device provides said user with said reward or information regarding the status of the plant. 
     
     
         11 . A plant monitoring game system, the system comprising:
 a plant type profile, wherein said plant type profile consists of at least one plant care condition to satisfy;   a processor connected to at least one sensor, wherein said processor acquires sensor measurements, wherein said plant sensor device communicates said sensor measurements to said mobile computing device by radio link;   a mobile computing device, wherein said plant type profile is compared to said sensor measurements, time or location information, and whereby rewards are given to a user for the care of a plant in accordance with satisfaction of said plant type profile said plant care condition.   
     
     
         12 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 11 , wherein the said rewards are virtual points, game progression, points to care for a virtual character, or rewards used in a game application software on a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         13 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 11 , w said radio link is a bluetooth low energy or bluetooth smart radio link. 
     
     
         14 . A plant monitoring game system, the system comprising:
 at least one plant care condition to satisfy;   a plant sensor device acquiring sensor measurements, wherein said plant sensor device communicates said sensor measurements to said mobile computing device by radio link;   a mobile computing device, wherein said at least one plant care condition is compared to said sensor measurements, time or location information, and whereby rewards are given to a user for the care of a plant in accordance with satisfaction of said plant care condition.   
     
     
         15 . The plant monitoring game system of  claim 14 , wherein the said rewards are virtual points, game progression, points to care for a virtual character, or rewards used in a game application software on a mobile computing device.
