Definitions

  • This invention relates to a toy and, in particular, an electric toy capable of recording sound and playing back the recorded sound.
  • US Patent No. 3,469,039 discloses a talking doll in which a sound recorder is associated with a similitude, such as a parrot or a doll, in which the speed of the recording medium is changed, before reproducing, in a direction such that the pitch of the reproduced sound more closely approximates the inherent natural pitch of the similitude.
  • China Utility Model Publication No. CN 2488566Y discloses a parrot toy, comprising a parrot, a framework, a chain and a container.
  • the parrot stands in the framework.
  • the chain ties on one leg of a parrot with one end and on the framework with the other end.
  • a container is arranged beside the parrot.
  • An electronic device with sound recording and playing function is arranged in the container.
  • the electronic device makes the sound-controlling current run through an electromagnetic coil and further act with a magnet in the chin of the parrot to control the opening and closing movements of the parrot mouth.
  • the opening and closing movements of the parrot mouth are related to the sounds produced, which demonstrates a vivid impression of a living parrot.
  • UK Patent Application Publication No. GB 2136188A discloses a compact voice actuated audio electronic device, that repeats instantly and automatically short message spoken into it. Though the device acts basically like a parrot, a wide variety of voice reproduction could be used, such as low or high-pitch sound, computer voice, combination with echo effect, or combination with an intermediate tune. Regarding the short length of the recorded message (in seconds), a micro magnetic-tape or disc drive, or ultimately solid state chip memory could be used for the operation of the device. An insertion unit version of the device could be used for incorporation into dolls or figures. The device serves entertainment and educational purposes.
  • a first device has a first identification code, a first wireless communication interface and a first audio player
  • a second device has a second identification code, a second wireless communication interface and a second audio player.
  • the first device and the second device are configured to participate in an interaction sequence in which the first device wirelessly communicates using the first wireless communication interface, the second device wirelessly communicates using the second wireless communication interface, a musical composition is selected based on both the first identification code and the second identification code, and the first device and the second device cooperatively play the musical composition, with each of the first device and the second device playing a different part of the musical composition.
  • an electric toy according to claim 1.
  • an electric toy is in the form of a stuffed toy, generally designated as 10, although it is of course readily apparent that the toy 10 may be in any other appropriate form or shape.
  • a switch or button (not shown in Fig. 1 ) may be positioned within a finger or toe of the toy 10 and actuatable by a user, e.g. by pressing the finger or toe.
  • a microphone and a speaker (both not shown in Fig. 1 ) forming part of an electronic circuitry (to be further discussed below) are placed within the body of the toy 10. The speaker may be positioned close to the mouth 11 of the toy 10, to provide talking effect of the animal represented by the toy 10.
  • a light-emitting-diode (not shown in Fig. 1 ) may be positioned close to or on the surface of the toy 10 (e.g. as one of the eyes of the toy 10).
  • the circuitry may be provided with two LEDs, each as one of the eyes of the toy 10.
  • the circuit includes a switch or button 12 for changing the circuit from "Standby" mode to "Operation” mode, a microphone 14 for receiving sound from the outside environment and transmitting the received sound to a sound controller (to be discussed below) for recording and manipulation, a speaker 16 for playing back the recorded sound which has been manipulated by the electronic circuit in a manner to be discussed below, and an LED 18 for signifying the mode of operation of the toy 10.
  • a switch or button 12 for changing the circuit from "Standby" mode to "Operation” mode
  • a microphone 14 for receiving sound from the outside environment and transmitting the received sound to a sound controller (to be discussed below) for recording and manipulation
  • a speaker 16 for playing back the recorded sound which has been manipulated by the electronic circuit in a manner to be discussed below
  • an LED 18 for signifying the mode of operation of the toy 10.
  • two LEDs may be arranged in parallel, with each other so that each acts as one of the eyes of the toy 10.
  • An audio driver 20 suitable for use in the electronic circuit in the present invention may be one traded by Generalplus Technology Inc. of Taiwan under their Model No. GPY0030B; a CMOS serial flash memory 22 suitable for use in the electronic circuit in the present invention may be a chip which is in 512k x 1 bit structure and traded by Generalplus Technology Inc. of Taiwan under their Model No. GPR25L005B; and a sound controller 24 suitable for use in the electronic circuit in the present invention may be a 16-bit sound controller traded by Generalplus Technology Inc. of Taiwan under their Model No. GPCE048A, which includes a 16-bit microprocessor, a 24k-word ROM, and a 2k-word working SRAM.
  • the circuit also includes a motor M.
  • a motor M within the toy 10 and close to the mouth 11 of the toy 10 are provided a number of mechanical linkages (not shown) which are drivable by the motor M to open and close the mouth 11, to mimic speaking movement of the mouth 11.
  • FIG. 3 A flow-chart showing the steps of operation of the toy 10 according to this invention is shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the toy 10 When the toy 10 is switched on, it is usually in a "Standby" mode (Step 102). It will detect whether the button 12 is pressed (Step 104). If not, it will remain in its “Standby” mode. If the button 12 is pressed, the LED 18 will turn on (Step 106), thus emitting light, dignifying that the toy 10 is “awakened", and is in an "Operation" mode.
  • Step 108 If sound is made and detected by the toy 10 when it is awakened, the sound will be received by the microphone 14 and recorded in the sound controller 24 (Step 108). It is pre-set that the toy 10 will record sound of time duration of up to a maximum of four seconds.
  • An analog-to-digital converter (A/D Converter) in the electronic circuit converts the recorded analog sound into digital data (Step 110).
  • the toy 10 will keep on recording (Step 112) until it has recorded for up to four seconds (Step 114) or until there has been a period of silence of at least 0.5 second (Step 116). In either of these cases, the toy 10 will stop recording (Step 118). The LED 18 will also turn off (Step 120).
  • the sound controller 24 will manipulate the digital data of the recorded sound by, randomly:
  • a digital-to-analog converter (D/A Converter) in the electronic circuit then converts the manipulated digital data of the recorded sound into analog signals for playback (Step 122).
  • the amplifier in the circuit will also gain the analog signals for subsequent playback, the speaker 16 will then play back the amplified analog signals, and the motor M will operate to drive the mechanical linkages to move the mouth 11 of the toy 10 synchronously during the time of playback, so as to mimic the speaking movement of the mouth 11 (Step 124).
  • the motor M will turn off (Step 126), and the LED 18 will turn on again (Step 128).
  • the toy 10 will then remain in this awakened "Operation" mode for up to thirty seconds (Step 130).
  • Step 132 If sound is detected within this thirty-second period, the toy 10 will proceed to Step 106 and 108, and so on. If, on the other hand, no sound is detected within this thirty-second period, the toy 10 will return to "Standby" mode (Step 132).
