Method and apparatus for providing entertainment through an interactive device

An interactive entertainment device comprising:

• a processing module comprising:
• a central processing unit;
• and
• memory operably coupled to the central processing unit;
• a datastore;
• a plurality of sensors operatively coupled to the central processing unit;
• and
• a mechanism for providing a conspicuous action by the interactive entertainment device operatively coupled to the central processing unit;
• wherein the memory stores operational instructions to cause the processing module to:
• receive environmental data by way of at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors to create received data;
• store the received data in a datastore to create stored data;
• and
• perform the conspicuous action in response to at least one of the received data and the stored data.

A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executed by the machine to perform method steps for providing entertainment by way of an interactive device, the method steps comprising:

• receiving environmental data by way of at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors to create received data;
• storing received data in a datastore to create stored data;
• and
• performing a conspicuous action in response to at least one of the received data and the stored data.
