Voice controlled toy

A voice actuated toy which comprises:

• an electronic means for receiving audio signals and storing records of said audio signals, said electornic means further for comparing an inputed audio signal with eah of its previously stored audio signals, said electronic means outputting one of a plurality of output signals in response to recept of an input audio signal which amtches one of said stored records of aduio signals;
• a plurality of switches connected to said electornic means, the number of said switches equal to the number of said stored records of said auido signals, each of said switches including an output terminal;
• a drive means operatively associated with said switches, said drive means having a plurality of movable members each of which is capable of executing a predetermined movement, said drive means movable member executing said movements in response to said output signals of said electronic means;
• said drive means further including switch selector means for interacting with said plurality of switches one at a time, each of said respective output signals from said electronic means propogated to said drive means only when the respective switch associated with said respective signal is activated by said switch selector means.

A sound recognition toy which comprises:

• a housing;
• an electronic sound recognition means, said sound recognition means for receiving and storing a plurality of records of audio commands, said sound recognition means for further comparing a new audio command to said plurality of stored records of audio commands and in response to a match between said new audio command and one of said stored records of audio commands said sound recognition means outputting an output signal;
• a plurality of switches connected to said sound recognition means, the number of said switches equla to the number of said stored records of audio commands, each of said switches including an output terminal;
• a motor means for producing an output, said motor means located on said housing;
• a selector means for selecting a switch, said selector means operatively associated with said motor means, said selector means rotatably mounted on said housing, said selector means including a switch engagement means for activating said switches one at a time, said switch engagement means positioned in association with said plurality of switches;
• a plurality of movable means for producing movement, said movble means mounted on said housing so as to move relative to said housing, said plurality of movable means operatively associated with said selector means so as to be capable of being activated by said selector means in response to activating of one of said switches and when so activated said movable means operatively connectable to said motor means so as to be moved by said motor means.
