Abstract:
1. An interactive toy comprising: a body having an outer shell, the shell having a non-reactive portion and a first reactive portion; a blow sensor with the body for sensing a pressure caused by blowing on the shell by an human user in the vicinity of the body; a microprocessor for processing the blowing pressure and generating instructions in response to the blowing pressure, the instructions being for causing operation of the reactive portion of the body; wherein the microprocessor includes generating signals to sequentially activate and deactivate a first electrical coil thereby to sequentially attract and release a first magnet thereby to cause movement of the interactive toy, the movement being by causing relative changes in position between non-reactive portion and the first reactive portion; a second reactive portion of the shell, and a second coil, and wherein generating the signals to sequentially activate and deactivate the second electrical coil thereby sequentially attracts and releases a second magnet thereby to cause second movement of the interactive toy, the movement being by causing relative changes in position between a non-reactive portion and a second reactive portion; wherein the toy is a bird, the bird having a head, a mouth having a beak with two elements, and a body, and a change in position of the first reactive portion is exhibited as the sequentially opening and closing of the mouth of the bird; wherein the change in position of the second reactive portion is exhibited as the turning of the head of the bird relative to the body of the bird, and including two coils, and two controls to drive the respective coils independently including: activating and deactivating a first coil to attract and release a first magnet, and thereby operate the mouth by relative first movement up or down of one or both elements of the beak of the bird and thereby open and close the mouth; and activating and deactivating a second coil to activate the second coil in one direction or in an opposite direction or to be deactivated whereby the second coil acts on a second magnet to be attracted to one end or repelled to other end or in neutral position respectively and thereby to operate the head for turning left, right and returning to a neutral position, which turning action is a movement sense which is not up and down and is different to the first movement.
