Abstract
An interactive doll assembly for entertaining and educating a child includes a doll and a housing. A panel is attached to the doll and defines a pocket, into which the housing is selectively positionable. A battery, a microprocessor, and a receiver are attached to the housing and are positioned in an interior space defined by the housing. A speaker is attached to the housing. The microprocessor is operationally engaged to the battery, the receiver, and the speaker. Oversight programming code, which is selectively positionable on an electronic device of a user, enables the electronic device to store a plurality of audio files and user selection of a respective audio file for transmission to the microprocessor, via the receiver. The microprocessor is enabled to actuate the speaker to broadcast the audio.
Claims7
An interactive doll assembly comprising:
- a doll, the doll including a head having a hinged jaw;
- an opening positioned in a back of the head, wherein the opening is configured for insertion of a hand of a user, positioning the user for manipulating the hinged jaw, such that the doll mimics speaking;
- a panel attached to the doll defining a pocket;
- a housing selectively positionable in the pocket, the housing defining an interior space;
- a battery attached to the housing and positioned in the interior space;
- a microprocessor attached to the housing, positioned in the interior space, and operationally engaged to the battery;
- a receiver attached to the housing, positioned in the interior space, and operationally engaged to the microprocessor;
- a speaker attached to the housing and operationally engaged to the microprocessor;
- oversight programming code selectively positionable on an electronic device of a user enabling the electronic device for storing a plurality of audio files and enabling user selection of a respective audio file for transmission to the microprocessor, via the receiver, enabling the microprocessor for actuating the speaker for broadcasting the audio file;
- and
- a switch positioned in a nose of the doll proximate to and forward of the opening in the back of the head, the switch being operationally engaged to the microprocessor and the battery, wherein the switch is configured for being switched for operationally engaging the microprocessor to the battery.
