Claim:
A child's toy comprising a doll, where the doll is in the shape of a humanoid figure, and where the doll comprises a power source, a speaker, an electromagnetic receiver capable of receiving electromagnetic transmissions, and an integrated circuit, where the integrated circuit is capable of processing input from the electromagnetic receiver and sending output to the speaker, and a remote control, where the remote control can be held by the user and where the remote control is not physically attached to the doll, and where the remote control comprises one or more buttons that are interactive, known as interactive buttons, where the interactive button, when pressed, causes the remote control to interact with the doll, and where the remote control further comprises a power source, a speaker, an electromagnetic transmitter capable of transmitting electromagnetic transmissions, and an integrated circuit capable of processing input from a button and sending output to an electromagnetic transmitter, and where the doll and the remote control interact by a series of one or more pre-programmed electromagnetic transmissions that is transmitted from the remote control, where the doll is capable of receiving these transmissions and when the doll receives these electromagnetic transmissions, the doll then emits a series of one or more pre-programmed sounds based upon these electromagnetic transmissions received from the remote control where the remote control further comprises one or more non-interactive buttons, where the non-interactive button, when pressed, causes a series of one or more pre-programmed sounds to be emitted from the remote control, but does not cause the remote control to interact with the doll, where one of the interactive buttons, when pressed, ceases all pre-programmed functions currently being performed by the remote control, if any, and causes an electromagnetic transmission to be transmitted from the remote control and where the doll is able to receive this electromagnetic transmission, and upon receiving this transmission, the doll ceases all pre-programmed functions currently being performed, if any.
