Description

The invention relates to electronic toys with sound effects, and can be used in the manufacture of toys that reproduce an audio track using a motion sensor.

The prior art various models of electronic toys containing the function of playing a sound track.

Known technical solution according to patent RU 56205 U1 A63H 3/2, publ. 09/10/2006, according to which the ELECTRONIC TOY contains a soundtrack device, characterized in that it is made in the form of a central processor with a power source connected to a non-volatile memory unit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) unit, a digital-to-analog converter unit ( DAC), control unit, USB controller unit with USB connector, line-in block, microphone, amplifier unit, and also with a speaker. Disadvantages: the toy does not have the property of interactivity - it does not respond to the user, the set of sound tracks is limited, which reduces the child’s interest in the toy.

Known electronic toy (http://www.stranamam.ru/post/5950577/) Principle of action - the toy records sound for 10 seconds; a motion sensor is built in it and when the child moves the toy this sound is reproduced. Disadvantage: the time of the audio track is short, it does not allow you to record and play several tracks, the motion sensor does not track the movement of the child in the room, but only with direct contact.

The device "Motion Sensor" is known (http://www. superigrushka.ru/shop/shpionskie_shtuchki_nabory_dlya_detej/datchik_dvizheniya), which operates as follows: they record an audio message on the motion sensor, then put it in front of the door of a room and like someone else the red bulbs start blinking on the sensor - this indicates that he “noticed” the movement and the sensor starts to play back the recorded audio message. recorded directly into the microphone. To start the game, you must switch the system to the READY position and so that it is directed towards the door, hallway or any other place where an “intruder” may appear. Disadvantage: a limited set of audio information, a limited path of receipt of audio information for recording a track.

The closest technical solution is the device “Sound informant with a motion sensor MASTERKIT, MT 1020” (http://www.smartron.ru/katalog/products/road/umnye-i-poleznye/dinamiki-i/zvukovoj-informator-s- datchikom-dvizhenija), which based on the motion sensor can work in three modes. The mode is selected by the user independently, depending on the task:

1) “Protection” mode. Having recorded the movement of a person, the device turns on an alarm that will scare away the ill-wisher and attract attention;

2) “Informing” mode. After detecting movement in the coverage area, the device will emit a melodious “Ding-dong” signal. This mode is convenient to use, for example, as an informant about new visitors or customers in your office or store.

3) the mode of "Voice note". Upon detection of movement, the device plays a phrase recorded in advance (greeting, warning or reminder) for up to 10 seconds.

Disadvantages: the device is stationary, does not have the type and purpose of the toy, in addition, the first two modes are not related to toys, but are close in purpose to the security devices. The third mode provides a limited time of a sound track of 10 seconds, the ability to use only one sound track, a limited path of receipt of sound information to record a track (when recording from voice).

To eliminate these drawbacks, a technical solution is proposed, according to which the function of several electronic components is performed by a microcontroller, which simplifies the design and saves energy, instead of USB, any wired or wireless data transfer interface is used, which extends the functionality of the toy, allowing you to quickly update sound tracks using external devices computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.); instead of the speaker, any sound-emitting element is used; in the passive state, the toy is in energy saving mode, the sound is switched on by the motion sensor. The following design is proposed: an electronic toy contains a housing, a power source, non-volatile memory, a sound-emitting element, a sound amplifier, a microcontroller control module that contains a motion sensor, a wired and / or wireless interface for connecting external devices to update the contents of non-volatile memory.

The electronic module (hereinafter referred to as EM) of the toy contains: a power source, a microcontroller control module, a built-in or removable non-volatile memory, a sound amplifier, a sound-emitting element, a motion sensor, a wired or wireless interface. Non-volatile memory contains a set of sound tracks that can be played using a microcontroller, sound amplifier and sound-emitting element. Thus, the design of an electronic toy includes a housing containing an electronic module with a power source, non-volatile memory, a sound-emitting element, a processor, a motion sensor, a wired and / or wireless interface that allows you to quickly update the set of audio tracks in non-volatile memory using an external device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.). As a processor, a microcontroller control module is used with the ability to activate and play an audio track using a motion sensor, as well as with the possibility of randomly selecting an audio track from a set contained in non-volatile memory. The case of an electronic toy is made of food plastic or in the form of a soft toy.

Finding a toy most of the time in energy saving mode allows you to save battery energy, activation (switching on, exit from energy saving mode) using a motion sensor allows you to get rid of an unreliable mechanical switch; motion sensor allows you to turn on the toy remotely; the presence of a wired or wireless interface allows you to quickly update the set of audio tracks (tracks) in non-volatile memory using an external device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.).

EFFECT: operational updating of a set of sound tracks in non-volatile memory.

The technical result is achieved due to the design of an electronic toy that reproduces a sound track with activation by a motion sensor containing a housing that contains a motion sensor, an electronic module with a power source, non-volatile memory, a sound-emitting element, a processor, characterized in that it contains a wired and / or wireless interface for connecting external devices to update a set of audio tracks in non-volatile memory. As a processor, a microcontroller control module is used with the ability to activate and play an audio track using a motion sensor, with the possibility of randomly selecting an audio track from a set contained in non-volatile memory. As a special case, the body of an electronic toy is made of food-grade plastic. Another special case, the body of an electronic toy is made in the form of a soft toy.

The essence of the technical solution explains the image in the figure, where

1 - non-volatile memory;

2 - sound amplifier;

3 - sound-emitting element;

4 - microcontroller control module;

5 - power source;

6 - wired or wireless interface;

7 - motion sensor.

An example implementation:

The body of the toy is made of food plastic, or in the form of a soft toy. Inside the toy body is an electronic module (hereinafter referred to as EM). The EM contains a power source 5, a microcontroller control module 4, a built-in or removable non-volatile memory 1, a sound amplifier 2, a sound-emitting element 3, a motion sensor 7, a wired or wireless interface 6.

Non-volatile memory 1 contains a set of sound tracks that can be played using the microcontroller 4, sound amplifier 2 and sound-emitting element 3.

Electronic toy works as follows.

After turning on the power, the EM is in sleep mode in order to maximize energy saving. Only motion sensor 7 is turned on. When a motion sensor detects an object 7 in the tracking area, a command is issued to exit the EM from sleep mode. The microcontroller control module 4 selects a random sound track in memory 1 and plays it. During playback of an audio track (track), signals received from the motion sensor are ignored. After playback is complete, the EM goes back to sleep mode and waits for a signal from the motion sensor.

The electronic module contains any wired or wireless interface for working with external devices, which allows using an external device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) to change (replace) a set of sound tracks in non-volatile memory.
