Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronic toy, in particular a doll, an animal or a figure, the at least one communication device for Having communication with a player.
- the invention further relates to a Game system with one or more such toys.
- Such electronic toys are for example under the name Commonly known Tamagochi.
- the player swaps as a user of the Toys via a communication device integrated in the toy Data with a storage device also integrated into the toy. In this way, the player enters into a dialogue with the toy, whereby both the toy based on the actions of the player, as well as the player Actions of the toy responded.
- the data for the actions of the toy such as the expression of Feelings are called up by the storage device and thus generate the Impression of an "intelligent" toy.
- the disadvantage here is that the data required for the interactions, especially dialogs, only in a limited number in the manufacture of the toy in the internal Storage device, preferably in a chip, and cannot be changed or supplemented by the player.
- hires toys like the Tamagochi are a significant development the traditional interaction with speaking dolls, but it is nevertheless only able to communicate or learn to a limited extent.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a structurally simple, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to handle toys of the beginning to create the kind mentioned in the nature and extent of the communication with the Player is significantly improved.
- those for the interactions required data can be changed and supplemented easily and quickly.
- the main advantage is that the communication with the Toys essential intelligence taken out of the toy and in an external communication system with a storage device is relocated, which is connected to a database in which the corresponding data easily can be changed and in particular supplemented.
- the external storage device can be a central data processing and be database system with which the toy over a Transmission interface and easily connected via a transmission system can be.
- the data or data stored in the external database Dialog elements, in particular audio and / or video data, can be used certain actions that are activated by the player. This will make the Possible uses of a conventional toy by using the communication level significantly expanded.
- the toy can preferably have an internal data processing unit which have communication with the player and communication controls with the external data processing device.
- the Communication device of the toy an input unit for input of acoustic and / or optical data, in particular of speech.
- To a microphone or a camera can be integrated into the toy.
- the communication device has a Output unit for output of acoustic and / or optical data, in particular comprises a loudspeaker for outputting speech.
- a loudspeaker for outputting speech.
- the player can be carried out in a particularly easy and quick manner Speech dialogue with the toy.
- Dialog elements are saved in the form of sounds or speech elements activated by certain sounds or voice inputs from the player or be retrieved.
- the communication device can also have other input devices, for example buttons or keys, and / or other output means include.
- the communication device can preferably be a Dispensing unit for dispensing fragrances and / or a drive unit for Perform movements or vibrations.
- a particularly great playing comfort can be achieved in that the Interface of the toy a wireless transmission, especially over Radio, to and from the transmission system.
- the toy is a manually operable or Programmable switch with which the connection to the external Data processing device or to or to the transmission system can be switched off. In this way you can, in particular, become preprogrammable Times connections to the external database established and corresponding actions of the toy are caused. Can too in this case one (or more) key (s) can be provided with which by means of integrated Speed dial function one (or more) database system (s) over a telecommunication network can be selected.
- the present invention also relates to a game system that at least one toy of the type described above and at least an external data processing device with at least one database comprises, in the database communication elements, in particular Speech elements, which are stored via the transmission system and the Interface of the communication device of a toy can be fed.
- the communication elements can be central in the database (s) stored and with very little effort for a variety of Toys are changed or supplemented.
- dialog elements in the database especially language elements that a player into the Communication device of a toy can be entered, stored are.
- further dialog elements for example as Question or answer elements generated and on the database (s) be deposited.
- the communication devices several toys with a common database are connected.
- Through the dialog of a variety of Players with the shared database will increase the amount of those in the database collected dialog elements particularly quickly.
- the variety of actions increases with the collected dialog elements in the central database of the individual toys in online dialogue with the respective players particularly quickly and there are always new dialog sequences for the toys provided.
- the players take the toys as learning System true, which is a clear advantage over the game options with a conventional toy with unchangeably preset offline dialogs means.
- dialog elements can thereby be provided be that several interconnected or networked databases are provided, the communication device of a toy via one interface and via the transmission system to several databases can access.
- the transmission system can advantageously by a Data line or through a data line network, in particular through the Internet educated.
- the game system according to the invention can be used both in individual operation individual players can be used with one or more external players Communicate database (s), as well as in multiple operation by several Players are used, the toys each with one or more external databases are connected.
- the communication facilities can also several toys indirectly or directly with each other be connected and communicate with each other.
- the electronic toy not shown in FIG. 1, has one Communication device 1 on which a microphone and a speaker for Includes recording or playback of voice dialogs.
- a radio interface 3 is the communication device 1 of the toy on Transmission system 2 connected, via which it is a database external data processing device 4 is connected.
- This connection can be programmed by the player as the user of the toy using a programmable Switch can be manufactured or interrupted on request or depending on the time.
- the transmission system 2 can be a landline, a radio network, a Radio / landline combination (DFÜ) or preferably through the Internet be educated.
- DFÜ Radio / landline combination
- the database with the intelligence of the Dialog elements generating toys outside of the toy in one external data processing device 4.
- the database can easily edited, especially by communicating with the player for new ones Dialog elements are added.
- dialog elements As a result of the shared use of the central databases by several Toys or players grow the amount of dialog elements collected in them very quickly and the individual players experience it continuously newly added dialog elements as learning success or as intelligence of the Toy.
- the operator of the game system 5 can also use the dialog elements change or add from time to time.
