Interactive toy doll system

Abstract

An interactive toy doll system is described for performing and displaying ordered sequences of visual and aural effects, such as feeding and tearing behaviors upon activation. An interactive doll system includes a doll having a sensor, an intake control valve and output control valve operably connected to the sensor. A receptacle is provided functionally connected to the intake and output control valves. A gear assembly is operably connected to at least the receptacle and a main switch is provided operably connected to at least the gear assembly. An external sensor activator device is provided configured to activate the doll sensor.

   a sensor activator device configured to activate the sensor.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receptacle comprises an expandable and compressible container. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an intake passage functionally attached at a first end to the intake control valve; and   a primary output passage functionally attached at a first end to the output control valve, wherein the intake and output control valves are attached to a first terminal.   
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the first terminal comprises a three-way terminal. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 3 , further comprising a second terminal, wherein a second end of the primary output passage is attached to the second terminal. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5 , further comprising at least one secondary output passage having a first end attached to the second terminal. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , further comprising at least one duct, wherein a second end of the secondary output passage is attached to said at least one duct. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a two-way passage having a first end attached to the first terminal and a second end attached to the receptacle.   
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sensor activator device comprises an external container having a magnet configured for activating the sensor. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a cavity in which the sensor is provided, wherein the sensor activator device is configured for insertion in said cavity. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the doll further includes a program chip comprising pre-programmed instructions for operation of the doll. 
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the doll further includes a position orientation switch operably connected to at least the program chip. 
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a speaker controlled by the program chip to generate sound effects in accordance with a state of the doll. 
   
   
       14 . A method of operating an interactive toy doll, comprising the steps of:
 activating a main switch on the doll;   activating a sensor on the doll using an external device;   activating a fluid intake mode for drawing fluid into a receptacle in the doll, wherein when the receptacle is full, further comprising the steps of:
 determining if the sensor is deactivated, wherein if yes, further comprising the step of activating a fluid output mode for expelling the fluid from the receptacle. 
   
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the step of activating the fluid intake mode further comprises the steps of:
 closing a fluid output valve;   opening a fluid intake valve; and   driving a gear assembly in a first direction for expanding the receptacle.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the step of activating a fluid output mode further comprises the steps of:
 opening a fluid output valve;   closing a fluid intake valve; and   driving a gear assembly in a second direction for compressing the receptacle.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein during the step of activating the fluid intake mode, further comprising the step of generating drinking sound effects. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein during the step of activating a fluid output mode, further comprising the step of generating crying sound effects. 
   
   
       19 . An interactive doll system comprising:
 a doll including:
 a sensor provided within an oral cavity of the doll; 
 an intake control valve and an output control valve operably connected to the sensor; 
 a receptacle comprising an expandable and compressible container having flexible walls, said receptacle being functionally connected to said intake and output control valves and to at least one duct; 
 a gear assembly operably connected to at least said receptacle; 
 a main switch operably connected to at least the gear assembly; and 
   a separate sensor activator device configured for insertion into said oral cavity to activate the sensor.   
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the sensor activator device is filled with a fluid for input into the receptacle during a fluid intake mode of the doll.
