Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for enabling interactions between a toy and a computing device, the method comprising: receiving, by the toy device, a first interaction; receiving, by the toy device and with the first interaction, a second interaction; processing the first interaction to generate an input; encoding the input into an audio signal; wirelessly transmitting, at a nearly-inaudible frequency, the audio signal from the toy device to the computing device; receiving, by the toy device, an auditory response generated by the computing device responsive to the computing device processing the audio signal; processing, by the toy device, the auditory response to generate at least one of a first visual and second auditory response based on the auditory response output by the computing device; and processing the second interaction to generate at least one of a second visual and third auditory response.
