Abstract:
1. A chorusing toy system, comprising: multiple sound-generating devices each comprising a storage module, a sound-generating unit, and a circuit module, the storage module storing a role-related datum, an ID datum, and at least a play datum, the play datum corresponding to the role-related datum, respectively, and each having a name and multiple syllables, the circuit module being connected to the storage module and the sound-generating unit and comprising a wireless unit, a starting switch, and a playing switch, wherein, the circuit module is configured such that if the starting switches are turned on, the circuit modules will execute a connection procedure for connecting the circuit modules to each other via the wireless units and defining one of the sound-generating devices as a master according to priority given to each role-related datum, wherein the circuit module of the master create a member datum from the connected sound-generating devices and store the member datum in the storage module of the master, the member datum comprising the role-related datum and the ID datum of each sound-generating device, wherein, the circuit module is configured such that if the playing switch of the circuit module of the master is turned on, the circuit module will execute a playing procedure, the playing procedure comprising the steps of: sending a name of the playing datum from the wireless unit of the circuit module of the master to each sound-generating device included in the member datum, so as to turn on the playing switch of each said sound-generating device; receiving the name by the wireless unit of the circuit module of each said sound-generating device and sending a received signal to the wireless unit of the circuit module of the master; and determining, after the circuit module of the master has received the received signals, whether all the sound-generating devices have received the name according to the received signals and the member datum, wherein, when the determination is affirmative, the wireless unit of the circuit module of the master sends a start signal such that, after the circuit module of the sound-generating device has received the start signal, the sound-generating unit of the sound-generating devices starts playing each syllable of the play datum of the name, wherein, at the point in time when the playing of each syllable ends, the wireless unit of the circuit module of the sound-generating device reports to the circuit module of the master to enable the circuit module of the master to monitor a play status, wherein, when the determination is negative, the circuit module of the master waits a predetermined time period before sending a start signal such that, after the circuit module of the sound-generating device has received the start signal, the sound-generating unit of the sound-generating devices starts playing each syllable of the play datum of the name, wherein, at the point in time when the playing of each syllable ends, the wireless unit of the circuit module of the sound-generating device reports to the circuit module of the master to enable the circuit module of the master to monitor a play status.
