- the following description relates to a doll or infant implementing the present invention. However, it is understood that this cannot be limited to this single embodiment, and that all other applications, in particular plush, etc., are covered by the present invention.
- This doll (30) is composed of a mechanical structure including a casing, made of plastic, integrating articulated arms and legs.
- This envelope comprises a box fixed inside the envelope and intended to integrate a central unit for managing and processing interactivity in accordance with the invention.
- This central unit (1) is supplied with electrical energy by means of batteries (2), the connection of which to the central unit is ensured by means of a switch (3).
- This central unit (1) consists of an electronic card integrating one or more microprocessors or microcontrollers of known technology, but also a certain number of memories suitable for storing the processing or interaction software.
- the head of the doll has movable eyes, capable of being actuated by a motor or electromagnets or by any other known means.
- control (4) of the functioning of the eyeballs is connected to the central unit (1) and therefore acts on instruction from the latter at the level of the right eye (5) and the left eye (6) simultaneously or individually, making it possible to obtain a blinking effect for the eye (s).
- the doll is likely to be provided with a certain number of accessories of the type: small spoon, mirror, bottle, glass, brush, etc., each provided with a passive or active identification system, preferably autonomous or devoid of any clean energy source.
- a passive or active identification system preferably autonomous or devoid of any clean energy source.
- the identification system is magnetic, electromagnetic, barcode, inductive or any other known means, and is recognized by one or more sensors adapted to the identification type, supplied electrically by the central unit, and positioned at the level of the toy, for example at the level of the mouth, the hand, the head, etc., depending on the desired interaction and the accessory used.
- other sensors are also included in the doll and positioned in the body thereof, so as to interact with the identification systems positioned at the level of other accessories more important in terms volume and size, such as for example stroller, baby chair, pram, etc., with the aim of generating other types of interaction, and consequently of responses from the doll .
- the software managing this interactivity is of the anti-collision type, that is to say that several accessories and parameters are capable of being detected simultaneously, generating as many reactions or on the contrary a single reaction, a function of this detection concerted by the doll.
- the doll is capable of receiving a plug-in module (20) of the type shown in FIG. 5.
- This module is intended to be inserted, for example at the back of the doll in a housing (21) provided for this purpose, provided with electrical contactors (22) adapted to cooperate with electrical contacts (23) formed on either side of the module (20), in order to allow access to the contents of the electronic card (24) integrated in the module.
- This card contains a memory storing a certain number of words or sentences in a specific language or a specific voice or sound directory.
- the housing (21) receiving the module, and more particularly the contactors
- said doll also includes a voice detector (9), associated with the central unit (1), intended to detect a sound or a voice, in the immediate vicinity of the doll, the detection threshold being determined by construction. The detection of such a sound or such a voice is then also likely to generate a reaction of the toy, in the form of a movement or the emission of a sentence, words, cries, etc.
- the doll includes a light detector (10), in order to detect the darkness or on the contrary the light, and this, always with the objective of inducing a reaction of the doll or the emission of words as well that it will be described later.
- the doll also incorporates a position detector (11), associated with the central unit (1), and intended to detect the physical orientation of the doll, namely, whether it is in the extended position or on the contrary in standing or sitting position.
- a position detector 11
- the doll also incorporates a position detector (11), associated with the central unit (1), and intended to detect the physical orientation of the doll, namely, whether it is in the extended position or on the contrary in standing or sitting position.
- This detection is also intended to induce a plurality of reactions of the doll, depending on the other parameters possibly detected.
- sensors are also capable of being integrated within the doll, such as, for example, color, odor, temperature (27), humidity (26), touch (25), colorimetric sensors. , etc., these various sensors being systematically in relation with the central unit (1),
- timer timer systems
- this software takes into account, in addition to the input parameters, constituted by the signals detected by said sensors, also the variable "time", through the timer, but also capable of taking into account past events, in order generate one or more responses or reactions from the doll. For example, if the light detector (10) does not detect any light, the software induces a configuration of rest or of falling asleep of the doll, causing consequently the closing of the eyes. If, on the other hand, this light detector detects light, the doll can be awakened so that the eyes are kept open by implementing the command (4) on the order of the central unit,
- a first timer associated with the timer, and of about twenty minutes, can be implemented. If the child does not use the doll after the time fixed by this timer, the central unit (1) induces a mode of falling asleep of the baby and corollary of automatic closing of the circuits with a very low electric consumption, the doll being deemed to sleep.
- the actual awakening of the doll is detected either by the position detector (11), identifying the sitting or standing position of the doll, or by the light detector (10), or even by the sound detector (9). This detection induces the opening of the eyes and the resetting of the timer concerned.
- the blinking of eyes (5, 6) is ensured by the control (4) in connection with the central unit (1).
- Two types of blinking can be considered, the first indicating that the tired doll wishes to sleep, or on the contrary that she wakes up with her eyes remaining wide open after the blinking. These two modes illustrate two examples of sequence segments among others.
- the whole point of the invention lies in the multiplicity of responses from the doll, and of its possible actions, as well as its evolving nature. As we have seen previously, its actions are relatively limited to blinking, opening or closing of the eyes, however, it can be considered the movement of the various members, by means of automata integrated inside the envelope defining the doll, and managed by the central unit (1).
- automata can for example consist of one or more leg automata (31), one or more arm automata (32), a mouth automata (33), an eyelid automata (34), a "urinate” automata (35), etc.
- Physiological functions, such as urinating can also be considered, always on the order of the central unit. In this hypothesis, this function intervenes for example in relation to a periodicity fixed by another timer.
- the other reactions of the doll are mainly materialized by sounds or words through the vocabulary module (20) in association with the amplifier (7) and the speaker (8). These words can be replaced by shouts, tears or laughter, and also be modulated by the intonation conferred as well as the volume.
- this software can also integrate memory functions, intended to store events prior to time t, in order to restore different reactions depending on the history, which contributes to the evolving nature of the infant.
- the doll can in the first case, react as a requester according to its environment. It manifests a need, a desire.
- This operating mode involves the previous state and is completely transparent for the child.
- the doll is the actress because it is the child who becomes the requester and who eventually chooses to play with this or that accessory, to place the doll in an environment different from the previous one.
- the doll reacts according to the constraints imposed by the child, and of course the software managing all of the interactions, but taking into account the detected signals.
- Each action of the doll is governed by the previous step in all transparency and without the child intervening. .
- the operating software of this interactivity offers the possibility for the child to play according to his own wishes, that is to say that any cycle can be interrupted at any time, the child always remaining master of the game.
- the very attractive character of the doll given its behavior then very close to realism, it also has the advantage of being educational in terms of learning a language for the child by the interchangeability of vocabulary modules,
