Definitions

  • This invention relates to toys.
  • this invention relates to toys such as dolls that interact with each other.
  • the memory is adapted to store said data relating to a plurality of interactions.
  • a server comprising: means for communicating with a plurality of toys, means for receiving data related to each said toy; means for processing said data; and means for allocating points to each said toy in dependence on said processed data.
  • the code receiving means is adapted to receive a code via a manual input.
  • FIG. 2 (Prior art) is a schematic illustration of a wireless communications dongle
  • the user can be aided by his/her online friends in order to accumulate points more quickly.
  • the users can create groups (of his/her friends) and compete with other such groups in a group ranking competition, similar to the individual user competition described above.
  • points can be awarded for reaching certain targets of any of the statistics; for example, once the user's doll has had 5, 10, 20, etc interactions in one particular time period (e.g. a week, a month, or a year) a number of points will be awarded. Any other statistic can be used as the basis for awarding points, for example the length of the interactions (i.e. points for each 10 minutes of interaction in a week).
  • object recognition software that enables the website/application to recognise certain objects, such as items of specific clothing, toy sports equipment, etc.
  • the course of the interaction may be altered, for example, the weightings of the next phrases can be altered such that it is more likely that the dolls will communicate about the object that has just been introduced. For example, if a toy jumper is introduced, the weighting for communicating about clothes shopping is increased by an order of magnitude. In this way, the user can influence the interaction between the dolls.
  • each doll has unique identifier (tag or number), and every unit is identifiable as a unit.
  • the user logs on the website, connects the doll to the PC (the doll being recognised using the unique identifier), and the user can then input personal details about the doll; i.e. name, favourite colour, favourite pets, favourite music etc.
  • the user is then able to acquire points on his/her account, associated with the doll, by way of:
