Abstract
A pseudo-sentient doll override method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for a doll, include an interaction level determining circuit configured to determine an interaction level between a user and the doll and a reminder triggering circuit configured to trigger a reminder to the user that the doll is not sentient based on the interaction level associated with a set of rules.
Claims19
A pseudo-sentient doll override system for a doll, the system comprising:
- an interaction level determining circuit configured to determine an interaction level between a user and the doll and determine whether the interaction level corresponds to the doll being sentient;
- a reminder triggering circuit configured to trigger a reminder to the user that the doll is not sentient based on the interaction level associated with a set of rules;
- and
- an electrorheological fluid control circuit, wherein said reminder comprises using said fluid control circuit to control an electrorheological fluid in the doll such that the doll becomes rigid.
A pseudo-sentient doll override method for a doll including an electrorheological fluid, the method comprising:
- determining an interaction level between a user and the doll and whether the interaction level corresponds to the doll being sentient;
- triggering a reminder to the user that the doll is not sentient based on the interaction level associated with a set of rules;
- and
- wherein said reminder comprises controlling the electrorheological fluid in the doll such that the doll becomes rigid.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a pseudo-sentient doll override program, the program causing a computer to perform:
- determining an interaction level between a user and the doll and whether the interaction level corresponds the doll being sentient;
- triggering a reminder to the user that the doll is not sentient based on the interaction level associated with a set of rules;
- and
- controlling an electrorheological fluid in the doll such that the doll becomes rigid as the reminder.
