Interactive toy system

Abstract

An interactive toy system comprises an image sensor, an information collecting unit, a memory, a comparative unit, a main control unit, and a light emitting diode array. The image sensor picks up movements of a user and output electrical signals. The information collecting unit collects the electrical signals and outputting processed signals after processing the electrical signals. The memory has a series of reference levels and an operation procedure stored therein, the operation procedure comprising many control signals corresponding to the reference levels. The comparative unit receives the processed signals and comparing the processed signals with the reference levels to output one of the corresponding control signals. The light emitting diode array is configured for emitting patterns of light by the main control unit based on the control signal from the comparative unit.
