Abstract
An electronic toy with at least one moving part, comprising a pre-programmed integrated circuit and at least one electric motor, is adapted to perform actions. Multiple such toys may be inter-connected in different combinations and programmed to interact in groups of two or more.
Claims20
An electronic toy set comprising:
- a first electronic toy on a first rotating platform having at least one action part, a first transmitter and first receiver, a first means for moving the action part and a first integrated circuit programmed to respond to the first receiver and control the first means for moving the action part through a first predetermined sequence;
- a second electronic toy on a second rotating platform having at least one action part, a second transmitter and second receiver, a second means for moving the action part and a second integrated circuit programmed to respond to the second receiver and control the second means for moving the action part through a second predetermined sequence;
- and
- wherein the first transmitter sends a first signal to the second receiver and the second receiver activates the second integrated circuit to move the action part of the second electronic toy through the second predetermined sequence.

An electronic toy set comprising:
- a first electronic toy on a first rotating platform having at least one action part, a first transmitter and first receiver, a first means for moving the action part and a first integrated circuit programmed to respond to the first sensor and control the first means for moving the action part through a first predetermined sequence;
- a second electronic toy on a second rotating platform having at least one action part, a second transmitter and second receiver, a second means for moving the action part and a second integrated circuit programmed to respond to the second sensor and control the second means for moving the action part through a second predetermined sequence;
- and
- wherein the first transmitter sends a first signal to the second receiver causing the second receiver to activate the second integrated circuit to move the action part of the second electronic toy through the second predetermined sequence, the second transmitter responds to the first signal by sending a second signal to the first receiver causing the first receiver to activate the first integrated circuit to move the action part of the first electronic toy through the first predetermined sequence, and the first and second predetermined sequences simulate a sword fight.
