Abstract
An architecture is presented that provides an interactive device for use as a children's educational tool. The interactive device is designed to provide feedback in response to a child indicating a desired design element on the interactive device. The interactive device comprises a mat with pressure sensing elements associated with a plurality of design elements. When the child selects the appropriate design element, the pressure sensing element activates a control element which provides feedback such as an audio response or a visual indicator.
Claims20
An interactive device comprising:
- a mat element;
- at least one sensing component connected to the mat element;
- a control component integrally connected to the at least one sensing component, wherein the control component provides a response when the at least one sensing component is activated;
- and
- an indicating component.
An interactive device for use by a child, the interactive device comprising:
- a mat element comprising a first layer and a second layer;
- a plurality of pressure sensing elements attached to the mat element;
- a control element in communication with the plurality of pressure sensing elements, wherein the control element provides a response when at least one of the plurality of pressure sensing elements are activated by the child;
- and
- an indicating component.
An interactive device for use in childhood development, the interactive device comprising:
- a mat element comprising a first layer and a second layer;
- a plurality of pressure sensing elements embedded within the mat element, wherein the plurality of pressure sensing elements are integrated with a plurality of design elements;
- and
- a control element in communication with the plurality of pressure sensing elements, wherein the control element provides feedback when the plurality of pressure sensing elements are activated;
- and
- an indicating device for choosing one of the plurality of design elements.
