Toy reactive to a signal

A toy being a movable toy flower as an integrated toy, comprising a battery to power a mechanism in the toy flower;

• the flower including the parts of a stem, sepal, petals and a front flower face around which the petals are mounted, at least two of which parts are reactive parts;
• connections to direct power from the battery to the mechanism for moving two or more parts of the flower;
• an actuator including a magnet and electromagnetic coil with the flower;
• a signal receiver located at least partly in the flower for receiving a change in a signal caused by selectively at least one of movement of the flower or an entity in the environment of the flower or pot, temperature, sound in the environment, pressure in the vicinity of the flower or pot;
• a microprocessor located at least partly within the pot or the flower for processing the received signal and generating an electrical signal through the wires, the signal being to change the operation of the electromagnetic coil in response to the sensed change, the electrical signal being for causing solely a linear and non-rotational movement of the magnet and a subsequent reaction of at least two of the reactive parts of the flower, and
• the electric signal effecting a push linear movement of the magnet, wherein the electric signal effects the movement of parts without the use of a motor having a rotational part.

A method of operating a toy flowerpot with a movable toy flower as an integrated toy, comprising a pot being formed by a wall, a battery compartment within the wall for accommodating a battery to power a mechanism in the toy flower;

• the flower including the parts of a stem, sepal, petals and a front flower face around which the petals are mounted, at least two of which parts are reactive parts, including the steps of
• directing power from the battery to the mechanism for moving two or more parts of the flower;
• operating a magnet through power applied to an electromagnetic coil with the flower;
• receiving a change in a signal caused by selectively at least one of a rhyme of a song, movement of the flower or an entity in the environment of the flower or pot, temperature, sound in the environment, pressure in the vicinity of the flower or pot;
• and
• processing the signal change and generating an electrical signal to change the operation of the electromagnetic coil in response to the signal change, the electrical signal being for causing solely a linear and non-rotational movement of the magnet and a subsequent reaction of at least two of the reactive parts of the flower,
• the electric signal effecting a push linear movement of the magnet,
• fixing an activation module comprising the magnet and coil at or adjacent a central area of a petal whereby the petal is guided by an open end of trumpet shaped sepal and pulled inside the sepal to present the flower in a closed state, and wherein the petal includes an elastic material and the elastic nature of the petal material causes the petal to return to a neutral position when the coil is de-energized, and
• operating a pushing plate on a petal to push the hinged mouth inside the flower face and thereby to open the mouth, and wherein the petal returns to its neutral position and the mouth closes when the coil is de-energized.
