Abstract
An interactive toy-set and related method for playing digital media, in particular auditorily recounting a story, includes a housing (10) adapted to receive one or more placeable tokens (7). The placeable tokens each have a unique identifier incorporated and the toy-set further includes a sensing unit (11) for detecting a presence of the one or more placeable tokens (7). A control unit is adapted to select a track and a track index number from a number of indexed tracks based on the detected identifier of the one or more placeable tokens, whereby the track and track index is determined based on a specific unique role attributed to each placeable token (7). The interactive toy-set further includes an output unit for outputting the track.
Claims21
An interactive toy set for playing digital media, and/or auditorily recounting a story, the toy set comprising:
- a. a housing adapted to receive one or more placeable token(s);
- b. one or more placeable token(s), each having a unique identifier incorporated;
- c. a sensing unit within the housing for wirelessly detecting a presence of the one or more placeable token(s);
- d. a control unit adapted to select a track and a track index number from a number of indexed tracks based on the detecting the one or more placeable token(s), whereby the track and track index is selected based on a specific unique role attributed to each placeable token, and
- e. an output unit for outputting the track.
A method for operating a toy set for playing digital media and/or auditorily recounting a story, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. detecting a presence of one or more placeable token(s), whereby each token has a role attributed in a recounted story;
- b. selecting a specific track and track index based on a unique identifier of the placeable token;
