Abstract:
An interactive doll, comprising:a doll having one or more sensors, said one or more sensors operable to trigger output of an output signal from said doll in response to being activated by physical stimuli of a user, said doll located at output signal coupled to a first node of a global communication network; a processor for processing said signal, said processor located at said first node and operable to link said output signal with one or more remote nodes located on said global communication network; and wherein said sensors each have associated therewith destination routing information to a destination one of said one or more remote nodes, which said destination routing information is disposed at an advertiser reference server on an intermediate one of said one or more remote nodes, such that activation of said one or more sensors triggers assembly of a message packet by said processor, said message packet containing intermediate routing information for accessing said advertiser reference server at said intermediate one of said one or more remote nodes and sensor information corresponding to said triggered output signal for routing to the one or more of said sensor activated, and said sensor information having an associative relationship at said advertiser reference server with said associated destination routing information; said processor operable to transfer said message packet to said intermediate one of said one or more remote nodes in accordance with said intermediate routing information associated with said message packet; wherein said advertiser reference server performs a table lookup to cross reference said received sensor information of said message packet with said associated destination routing information, which said associated destination routing information is associated with a manufacturer of said doll, wherein said cross referenced destination routing information defines manufacturer routing information of a web server of said manufacturer located at said destination one of said one or more remote nodes; and wherein said advertiser server returns said manufacturer routing information to said processor and said processor is operable to access said one or more remote nodes destination node associated with said manufacture and said destination node operable to return information to said processor for presentation to said user, in response to said one or more sensors being activated.
