Patent ID: 6939192

Claim:
A microprocessor controlled toy building element ( 101 , 501 ) comprising: a microprocessor ( 102 , 507 ) which can execute instructions in the form of a program stored in a memory ( 117 , 509 ), said memory comprising subprograms (R 1 , R 2 , . . . , R 6 ) which can be activated by subprogram calls; coupling means mechanically inter-connectable with toy building elements ( 802 – 810 ) whereby a toy construction assembled from the microprocessor controlled toy building element ( 101 , 501 ) and said toy building elements ( 801 – 810 ) can be moved around by activation means, said activation means being controllable in response to the instructions, a display which can show a plurality of icons which can be activated by a user, one-by-one, to create a program comprising a list of said subprogram calls, for programming of the microprocessor and controlling of the toy building element by means of the activation means; communications means ( 504 , 505 ) which is arranged to transmit the list of subprogram calls to a second toy building element ( 502 ) for programming of said second toy building element ( 502 ), whereby the toy building element ( 101 , 501 ) and said second toy building element ( 502 ) can be moved in concert; wherein the microprocessor, the display, the coupling means and the communications means are integral within the toy building element that provides a facility for transmitting a program and a programming facility that are integral portions within the toy building element wherein the program is run.
