Abstract: A game system comprising a data processing system and an identification toy element that includes information associated with the identification toy element; wherein the identification toy element is a toy construction element comprising one or more connectors configured for mechanically connecting one or more other toy construction elements to the identification toy element so as to allow a user to construct a toy construction model; and wherein the data processing system is configured to: detect a presence of the identification toy element in a detection area; create an association between a virtual object in a virtual environment and the detected identification toy element; access, when the identification toy element is again placed within a detection area, the information associated with the identification toy element; obtain, based on the accessed information, information about the virtual object associated with the identification toy element; present a representation of the associated virtual object; and to perform a play pattern procedure including controlling the representation of the virtual object.

Abstract: A game system, comprising: a data processing system configured to execute program instructions allowing a user to engage in digital game play; a physical toy; and a detection device configured to detect a presence of the toy within a detection area of the detection device; wherein the toy comprises two or more identification elements each detectable by the detection device when the identification element is positioned within the detection area, wherein the toy is configured to allow a user to selectively position the toy with a user-selected subset of one or more of said identification elements within the detection area; and wherein the data processing system is configured to control said digital game play responsive to the detected subset of identification elements.
