Video and radio controlled moving and talking device

A remote control animated doll system comprising in combination:

• at least one animated toy;
• a magnetic storage medium having an audio/visual program recorded thereon and embedded movement data and sound data recorded within said audio/visual program, said embedded movement data and sound data corresponding to sound control signals and movement control signals for said at least one animated toy;
• playback means, having a playback output, for said magnetic storage medium for reproducing said audio/visual program and for providing said movement data and sound data at said playback output;
• first decoder means, having a decoder output, connected to said playback output for providing said sound control signals and said movement control signals at said decoder output in response to said movement data and said sound data;
• a first wireless transmitter connected to said decoder output for transmitting said sound control signals and said movement control signals to said at least one animated toy;
• said animated toy comprising a first receiver for receiving sound control signals and movement control signals, a sound generating device, a second decoder means connected to said first receiver for providing said sound control signals to said sound generating device and for providing said movement control signals to a muscle equivalent system for causing movement of said animated toy;
• a microphone;
• a second wireless transmitter means connected to said microphone for transmitting speech signals in response to signals generated by said microphone;
• second receiver means for receiving said transmitted speech signals and providing demodulated speech signals at a second receiver output;
• speech recognition means having a speech recognition input connected to said second receiver means and an output connected to said first wireless transmitter means for providing preselected ones of said sound control signals and said movement control signals to said first wireless transmitter means in response to detection of predetermined patterns in said demodulated speech signals.
