After the computer outputs index information INDEX, the storage capacity checking unit 20 stores the data so that the capacity of the data to be downloaded does not exceed the storage capacity data that can be stored in each of the memories 111, 112, and 113 of the data storage unit 110. Check the dose (S19). In order to perform the data capacity check (S19), the storage capacity checker 20 receives data capacity information data CM to be downloaded at the time of downloading from a computer, and downloads it from the download processor 5 to the memory to be downloaded by the index information INDEX. The downloadability result data MSCHK is output to the download processor 5 in comparison with the storage capacity data that can be stored. As a result of the comparison, when the capacity information data CM exceeds the storage capacity data, the storage capacity checking unit 20 outputs inactivated downloadable result data MSCHK, and the download unit 10 outputs data that cannot be downloaded to the computer. do. The download program on the computer stops the download function, and the download processing section 5 also ends the download. As a result of the comparison, when the capacity information data CM does not exceed the storage capacity data, the storage capacity checking unit 20 outputs the activated downloadability result data MSCHK, and the download unit 10 downloads the downloadable data to a computer. From this time, the computer outputs the download data at a predetermined speed to the toy device through the interfaces 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The download processing unit 5 stores the downloaded data in the content memory 111 of the data storage unit 110 if the downloaded data is voice data CDATA such as a moving picture or agitation. And the game data GDATA comprising control commands data GCODE for storing a plurality of commands CMD for game play and voice position information, and game voice data GAD for game play. 113) (S20). The download completion (S23) from the computer is checked and the received data is stored in the memory until the download is completed.

When the storage of the download data is completed (S21), it is checked whether there is a request for downloading a new file (S22). When the download of new data is requested, the process starts again from the reception of the index information INDEX (S17). If there is no request for a new file, it is checked whether or not the download end request data is input from the computer (S23). When the end request data is inputted, the current download is terminated (S25), and the download processing unit 5 outputs a download switch request signal DLEN deactivated by the download end request data from the computer, so that the toy control unit 100 receives the entire download. Return the system to normal mode.

If the download end data is not received from the computer within a predetermined time, the download processing unit 5 checks the physical connection state with the current computer (S24). The inspection method of the connection state is various, for example, the download processing unit 5 sends the inspection data to the computer, the response data is sent from the computer within a certain time, and if there is no response from the computer within a certain time, there is a problem with the computer or signal It is determined that the connection is not made to automatically terminate the download (S25). If there is a response from the computer, it periodically checks whether the new file has been downloaded or terminated.
