Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

The present invention will be understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, which is intended to be descriptive and not limiting. For the sake of brevity, some well known procedures, systems, mechanisms, components, circuits, etc. have not been described in detail.

Figure 1 is a view of the responsive book system, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

In accordance with this embodiment of the invention, the responsive book system 10 includes a book 14 and a doll 12 or other remote answering machine that responds to a signal 48. The signal provides information about the current page 16 of book 14, which can occur when moving to or from that page.

The doll 12 includes a receiver 26 for receiving signals from the book 14, a processing unit 24 for selecting a presentation associated with the current page; an input / output unit 22, such as a speaker, etc.

Receiver 26 receives signal 48 from book 14. The signal may be a wireless signal, transmitted through the use of a wireless transmitter 38 on book 14, or it may be a wired signal.

Signal 48 may inform processing unit 24 of the current selected book, and the processing unit selects the response, which is appropriate for the current page 16 by retrieving the appropriate file from storage 34.

According to another embodiment, book 14 may include storage 34, so that signal 48 transmitted by book 14 may already include the file. This topology establishes that Book 14 includes all the information and can therefore be replaced by another Book 14 that performs similar functions.

The input / output unit 22 may be a motor 52, so that the response of the doll 12 may be a movement, such as a raised hand 54.

A typical application of the receptive book system 10 is for children to listen to their mother tell a bedtime story. Turning page 16, doll 12 can say, sing or dance consistent with the page read. The input / output unit 22 of the remote answering machine 12 can be a recorder for voice or video recording or it can include other signaling functions depending on the current page of the book 14.

For example, system 10 may include a record mode and a read mode. By selecting the recording mode, the responsive book system 10 can record the section of the story read by the mother in storage 34 and associate that section with the detected page 16; then, by selecting the reading mode, the responsive book system 10 can retrieve from storage 34 and read the section of the story associated with the detected page 16, to the child.

The responsive book system 10 may include a plurality of dolls 12, each of which typically responds to the current page 16, but each responds differently.

For two dolls 12, the transmitter 38 can use a single standard stereo channel, each of the subchannels 48a and 48b thereof for a doll 12.

Figure 2 is a view of the responsive book system, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

The doll 12 can be any physical object (eg, a can) or a display 30 that can include an image 32 of a doll. The multimedia features of the display 30 can replace the speaker 22 and the motor 52. Figure 3 is an illustration of the book components of the responsive book system, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

Book 14 includes a detection system 84, to detect the current page 16, which relies on a distinctive zone in the cross-sectional area of book 14 for each page 16.

The binding 20 of the book 14 includes a battery 40 for supplying power, a transmitter 38 for transmitting signals 48 to the doll 12, and a network of sensors, such as sensors 36 and 42, each at a different location in the binding 20, each location associated with a page

Each of the pages 16 to be detected includes a detectable mark, such as mark 44a for page 16a and mark 18c for page 16c, each mark located above the associated sensor thereof.

According to one embodiment, the detectable mark comprises a magnet. The magnet may be hidden within the page, making it invisible.

For example, in the cross-sectional area of book 14, the distinctive area of page 16a is the area of magnet 44a, and thus junction 20 includes sensor 42 in that area to detect page 16a.

The cross-sectional area of page 16a includes a magnet 44a located on sensor 42 thereof, and page 16c includes a magnet 18c located on sensor 36 thereof.

According to this example, sensor 42 detects page 16a by detecting the change in magnetic field, since magnet 44a on page 16a changes its distance from sensor 42 from a range of millimeters, producing a strong magnetic field when place page 16a, several inches away from page 16a.

The magnet 44a and other magnets of the book 14 are preferably invisible and are inserted into the paper of each of the pages 16.

Figure 4 is an illustration of a sensor circuit for detecting the magnetic field of a storybook page, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

Each of the sensors 36 and 42 may include a resonance circuit 82, which may be based on a Resistance, Inductor, and Capacitor (RLC) circuit that forms a harmonic oscillator. Magnet 18c influences the circuit, whereby circuit 36 detects magnet 18c, changing the voltage output Vout, which is amplified by amplifier A to be an input to transmitter 38.

Figure 5 is an illustration of the book components of the receptive book system, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 5 is similar to Figure 3, except for the addition of magnet 18a on page 16a, and magnet 18b on page 16b, which improve detection of magnet 18c on page 16c.

Magnet 18a on page 16a, magnet 18b on page 16c, and magnet 18c build up the magnetic field for sensor 36, such that the existence of magnet 18c on page 16c in its position in binding 20 makes it prone to be sensitive, even for a thick book.

Figure 6 is an illustration of the book components of the receptive book system, in accordance with another embodiment that is not part of the claimed invention and has been incorporated for explanatory purposes.

According to this embodiment, the detectable markings 44a and 18c comprise electrical contacts.

Each of the pages 16a, 16b, and 16c and also the binding 20 include a network of electrically conductive coated frames, which close together electrical circuits, depending on the current page.

As shown in the example of Figure 6 represents three electrical circuits, the first with a load R1 to detect page 16a, the second with a load R2 to detect page 16b, and a third with a load R3 to detect page 16c.

Each of the loads R1, R2 and R3 represents a sensor for that page, for example, the current through the load R3 represents the sensor 36 that detects page 16c.

Figure 7 is an electrical circuit diagram that includes the three circuits of the example of Figure 6.

Page 16a connects frame 50 of binding 20 to frame 58 of page 16a, and frame 64 of page 16a to frame 56 of binding 20, thus closing the charging circuit R1.

Page 16a connects frame 50 of binding 20 to frame 58 of page 16a, and frame 62 of page 16a to frame 54 of binding 20; page 16b connects frame 58 on page 16a to frame 66 on page 16b, and frame 70 on page 16b to frame 62 on page 16a, thus closing the R2 load circuit.

Page 16a connects frame 50 of binding 20 to frame 58 of page 16a, and frame 60 of page 16a to frame 52 of binding 20; page 16b connects frame 58 on page 16a to frame 66 on page 16b, and frame 68 on page 16b to frame 60 on page 16a; page 16c connects frame 66 on page 16b to frame 74 on page 16c, and frame 76 on page 16c to frame 68 on page 16b, thus closing the R3 load circuit.

Transmitter 38 transmits the appropriate signal from page 16c by current through load R3; or transmits the appropriate signal from page 16c by current through load R2, subject to no current through R3; or transmits the appropriate signal from page 16a, by current through load r 1, subject to no current through R2; and so on.

Additional conductive squares may be extended in the cross-sectional area formed by conductive printing. The circuits formed by the pages can be organized by binary logic or another that provides enough combinations for each of the pages of book 14.
