Abstract
A toy vehicle racing system is disclosed. The toy vehicle racing system comprises a track set including a movable mechanism and a toy vehicle configured to travel along the track set and interact with the movable mechanism. The toy vehicle racing system also includes a remote control in wireless communication with the track set. The remote control is configured to transmit instructions to the track set to move the movable mechanism and also to receive information from the track set regarding the track set and/or toy vehicle.
Claims20
A toy vehicle racing system comprising:
- a track set including a movable mechanism and an electrical contact, the movable mechanism being repositionable between a first position and a second position, wherein, when the movable mechanism is in the first position, the electrical contact is recessed into a surface of the track set, and when the movable mechanism is in the second position, the electrical contact protrudes above the surface of the track set;
- a toy vehicle configured to travel along the track set and interact with the movable mechanism, the toy vehicle comprising a battery, wherein, when the toy vehicle is interacting with the movable mechanism in the second position, the electrical contact of the track set contacts the toy vehicle to charge the battery of the toy vehicle;
- and
- a remote control in wireless communication with the track set, the remote control configured to transmit instructions to the track set to move the movable mechanism and further configured to receive information from the track set regarding the track set and/or toy vehicle.
1 more element
A toy vehicle racing system comprising:
- a track set including a first movable mechanism and a second movable mechanism;
- a first toy vehicle and a second toy vehicle configured to travel along the track set and respectively interact with the first and second movable mechanisms;
- a first remote control in wireless communication with the track set, the first remote control configured to transmit instructions to the track set to move the first and/or second movable mechanism and further configured to receive information from the track set regarding the track set, the first toy vehicle, and/or the second toy vehicle;
- and
- a second remote control in wireless communication with the first remote control, the second remote control configured to transmit instructions to the first remote control to move the first and/or second movable mechanism and further configured to receive information from the first remote control regarding the track set, the first toy vehicle, and/or the second toy vehicle;
- wherein the first remote control relays the instructions transmitted by the second remote control to the track set and further relays the information received from the track set to the second remote control.
3 more elements
A toy vehicle racing system comprising:
- a track set including a first movable mechanism and a second movable mechanism;
- a first toy vehicle and a second toy vehicle configured to travel along the track set and respectively interact with the first and second movable mechanisms;
- a first remote control in wireless communication with the track set, the first remote control including a first camera configured to capture a first real-time video feed, a first processor configured to generate a first composite view comprising a first computer- generated image superimposed on the first real-time video feed, and a first display screen configured to display the first composite view;
- and
- a second remote control in wireless communication with the first remote control, the second remote control including a second camera configured to capture a second real-time video feed, a second processor configured to generate a second composite view comprising a second computer-generated image superimposed on the second real-time video feed, and a second display screen configured to display the second composite view;
- wherein:
- the first remote control is configured to transmit instructions to the track set to move the first and/or second movable mechanism, to receive information from the track set regarding the track set, the first toy vehicle, and/or the second toy vehicle, and to update the first computer-generated image based on the received information;
- the second remote control is configured to transmit instructions to the first remote control to move the first and/or second movable mechanism, to receive information from the first remote control regarding the track set, the first toy vehicle, and/or the second toy vehicle, and to update the second computer-generated image based on the received information;
- and
- the first remote control relays the instructions transmitted by the second remote control to the track set and further relays the information received from the track set to the second remote control.
