Patent ID: 7179171

Claim:
A cellular telephone breeding toy comprising: a first memory of the cellular telephone configured to store a plurality of vectors, each vector representing genetic traits of a corresponding breedable object, the genetic traits including a set of gene pairs associated with phenotypes, genotypes, and dominance characteristics of the corresponding breedable object; a second memory of the cellular telephone configured to store a plurality of sets of image templates, there being at least one element of each vector associated with each image template; input means for selecting a first one of the plurality of vectors associated with a first corresponding breedable object and a second one of the plurality of vectors associated with a second breedable object; means for combining, according to the genetic traits, the first one of the plurality of vectors and the second one of the plurality of vectors into genetics traits of a third breedable object; means for storing the genetic traits of the third breedable object as one of the vectors in the first memory; processor means for compositing selected ones of the image templates according to the genetic traits of the third breedable object, the compositing stacking the selected image templates in an image buffer of the memory in a predetermined order; and a screen buffer coupled to the image buffer to render an image of the third breedable object according to the genetic traits on a display of the cellular telephone.
