Abstract:
1. A toy comprising: an eye joined to a body, the eye having a first sensor and a second sensor, the first sensor responsive to an activator and the second sensor responsive to ambient energy; an appendage joined to the body at a proximal portion of the appendage, the appendage having an activator joined to a distal portion of the appendage and capable of movement such that the activator can be moved with the appendage into and out of a detection range of the first sensor; and a speech generator including circuitry: (a) which generates speech when the first sensor detects the activator for a first time period and does not detect the activator for a second time period; and (b) which generates speech when the second sensor detects ambient energy below a threshold for a third time period and then detects ambient energy above the threshold for a fourth time period.
