Radio controlled model vehicle having coordinated sound effects system

A self-contained sound effects system for a model radio controlled toy vehicle, said toy vehicle having a remote transmitter for transmitting radio signals to said toy vehicle, means on said toy vehicle receptive of said radio signals for providing one or a plurality of internal control signals for the operation of said toy vehicle, said self-contained system comprising:

• means located in said toy vehicle and operatively connected to said providing means for detecting said internal control signals,
• means located in said toy vehicle and connected to said detecting means for generating sound data coordinated with said detected internal control signals, said generating means comprising:
• a. means for delivering sound data corresponding to a plurality of predetermined realistic sounds for said toy vehicle,
• b. means for storing a program which coordinates said delivered sound data with said detected internal control signals,
• c. means receptive of said detected internal control signals through said detecting means, of said program from said program storing means and of said sound data from said sound data delivering means for outputting sound data coordinated with said detected internal control signals, said outputting means being further capable of modifying said outputted sound data according to changes in said internal control signals, and
• means located in said toy vehicle and receptive of said outputted sound data from said generating means for producing a realistic sound corresponding to said sound data.

A self-contained sound effects system for a radio controlled toy, said toy having a remote transmitter for transmitting radio signals to said toy, means on said toy receptive of said radio signals for providing one or a plurality of on-board signals for the operation of said toy, said self-contained system comprising:

• means located in said toy and operatively connected to said providing means for detecting said on-board signals,
• means located in said toy and connected to said detecting means for generating sound data coordinated with said detected on-board signals, said generating means comprising:
• a. means for delivering sound data corresponding to a plurality of predetermined realistic sounds for said toy,
• b. means receptive of said detected onboard signals through said detecting means and of said sound data from said sound data delivering means for outputting sound data coordinated with said detected on-board signals, said outputting means being further capable of modifying said outputted sound data according to changes in said on-board signals, and
• means located in said toy and receptive of said outputted sound data from said generating means for producing a realistic sound corresponding to said sound data.

A sound effects system of a radio controlled model vehicle, said vehicle being controlled by radio signals from a remote transmitter, said vehicle having a receiver receptive of said radio signals for providing on-board control signals which control the physical operation of said vehicle, said system comprising:

• at least one detector located on said vehicle and operatively connected to said providing means for detecting the presence of said on-board control signals,
• at least one sensor located on said vehicle for producing an on-board sensed signal corresponding to the physical condition of said vehicle,
• means located on said vehicle for receiving said sensed signal and delivering sound data corresponding to said physical operation and to said physical condition of said vehicle,
• a memory located on said vehicle for storing the program which coordinates said sound data with said physical condition and said physical operation,
• means connected to said memory, to said delivering means and receptive of said on-board detected control and sensed signals for coordinating said sound data with said physical condition and said physical operation,
• means located on said vehicle and connected to said coordinating means for outputting said coordinated sound data, and
• at least one speaker located on said vehicle and connected to said outputting means for broadcasting said coordinated sound.
