Description

Toy device using coding block

The present invention relates to a toy device using a coding block, and more particularly, to a toy device using a coding block that controls a functional module that can be coupled to a model such as a block assembly with a coding command.

In general, toys, miniatures and models that can be remotely controlled are equipped with various functional elements, such as a motor and a camera module, fixed in advance, and within a specified operating range by using a remote control device such as a remote control that is fixedly manufactured. Controlled. For example, in the case of a model car, a remote control and a communication module capable of wired or wireless communication connection may be used to perform operations such as forward/reverse and stop through a remote control.

According to Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-0101698, a remote control toy element for remote control by a signal from a remote control unit that is a pocket torch, which is controlled in response to a program executed by a sensor and a microprocessor capable of detecting a signal. It includes at least one unit.

However, since these existing remote-controllable toys can be controlled only within a predetermined operation or control range, there is a problem that the user can easily get bored. The bigger problem is that these pre-completed remote-controllable toys do not help users develop their creativity. It is safe to say that there is little room for creativity to develop because the pre-made fixed-type toy operates only within a predetermined range.

Therefore, there is a need for a new concept technology that can directly create a model that can be remotely controlled to help develop more creativity.
