Interactive toy

Abstract

An interactive toy having a toy body is provided. The toy body of the interactive toy comprises a recording device and a display device to enable users to record images and sounds that are desired to be shown. By way of the sensors that are located on each location of the toy body, different signals can be inputted into the control processing unit. The control processing unit enables the display device to display the corresponding pre-recorded show so that an interaction purpose is achieved. The toy body also comprises a signal comparing processing unit that is used to analyze and compare the inputted signal to perform a specific response, to enhance the interaction, and to provide a language-learning function. Thus, the child can see his parents' images or hear his parents' sounds through the toy's responses. Accordingly, an interaction purpose between the parents and their child is achieved. Also, by using the interactive toy, the child will feel that his parents are accompanying him.
