  • the remote control unit 130 is attachable to and detachable from the RF demodulating part 910.
  • the RF signal applied to the signal transmitting part 900 is transmitted to the third control part 914 through the RF signal receiving part 912.
  • the transmitted signal is converted into the contents request signal by the third control part 914 and applied to the remote control unit 130 connected to the third remote control unit connecting part 916.
  • the remote control unit 130 requests the contents to the processing unit 200.
  • the third toy body part 800 may be freely placed at various locations since the remote control unit 130 is separately inserted into the RF demodulating part 910.
  • the switching device 124 may include various switching devices such as a conventional switching device, a switching device having a sensor in accordance with a kind of toy, etc.
  • the toy type learning device may provide the user with various stimulates for touch, sight, hearing, etc. to improve education efficiency. Also, since the toy type learning device may provide the user with the video/audio data corresponding to the user's demand, the user may be guided to a proper learning course without a separate assistant for the learning course. Further, the user such as the infant or the child may easily operate the toy type learning device compared to the conventional education software since the toy type learning device may be operated without using the conventional computer operating system, the keyboard, the mouse and the complicated menu.
  • the user such as the infant or the child may easily use the information in the contents media inserted into the processing unit by operating the toy such as the doll in comparison with the convention visual education medium such as the video tape, the digital video disc, etc.
  • the processing unit is a general player such as the home digital videodisc player for home, and the output part is also a general audio/video device such as a television set, an audio system, etc., thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
  • the processing unit is the home digital videodisc player, the user may be provided with high display quality and superior sound.
