Abstract
An entertainment device that includes an output generator that produces audible outputs is disclosed. The output generator produces outputs in response to user inputs. In one embodiment, the entertainment device includes several actuators that can be activated by a user. The output generator produces different outputs in response to different user inputs.
Claims8
An electronic toy, comprising:
- a first actuator illustrating a first item, a second actuator illustrating a second item, and a third actuator illustrating a third item;
- a composition having a first segment followed sequentially by a second segment and a third segment, said first segment including lyrics that refer to said first item, said second segment including lyrics that refer to said second item, said third segment including lyrics that refer to said third item;
- and
- an audible output generator including a memory configured to store said composition, the audible output generator being operatively coupled to said first actuator, said second actuator, and said third actuator, said audible output generator configured to output said composition, said audible output generator being configured such that actuation of said first actuator causes said audible output generator to output at least (i) said first segment, (ii) said second segment, and (iii) said third segment, said audible output generator being configured such that actuation of said second actuator causes said audible output generator to output at least (i) said second segment and (ii) said third segment, but not said first segment, and said audible output generator being configured such that actuation of said third actuator causes said audible output generator to output at least (i) said third segment, but not said first segment or said second segment.

An electronic toy, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first actuator illustrating a first item disposed on said housing;
- a second actuator illustrating a second item disposed on said housing;
- a composition including at least a first segment followed sequentially by a second segment, the first segment including lyrics that refer to the first item, the second segment including lyrics that refer to the second item;
- and
- an audible output generator including a memory configured to store said composition, the audible output generator configured to output said composition, said audible output generator being operatively coupled to said first actuator and to said second actuator such that actuation of said first actuator interrupts said composition and causes said audible output generator to output at least said first and second segments and actuation of said second actuator interrupts said composition and causes said audible output generator to output at least said second segment but not said first segment.
