Simulated head apparatus with lcd display face

Abstract

A simulated head apparatus, with or without a body, comprised of an electronic device capable of playing audio-visual images, an LCD screen, and software capable of storing, recording, and playing audio-visual images of faces on the LCD screen, wherein the LCD screen is disposed on the simulated head apparatus where a face would appear, such that various facial images can appear in the simulated head apparatus. The simulated head apparatus also features head accessories, such as hats, wigs, ears, jewelry, or a goatee. The electronic device can be a portable electronic device removable from the simulated head apparatus, or the electronic device can be integrated into a body with the LCD screen integrated into the head. The simulated head can also be a computer monitor in the shape of a head with means for fastening head accessories.

1 . A simulated head apparatus of a person, doll, toy figure, or living thing, with or without a body, comprised of
 An electronic device capable of playing audio-visual images;   an LCD display screen as part of, or connected to, the electronic device;   computer software for storing, recording, and playing audio-visual images of recorded or pre-recorded faces, including faces of persons, animals, and cartoon characters; and   permanently attached or detachably attached accessories for the simulated head apparatus resembling physical characteristics of a head, including ears, earrings, hair, antennas, beard, goatee, headwear, a mane, horns, or a halo; or a frame depicting artwork resembling said physical characteristics;   wherein the simulated head apparatus comprises an indentation where a face would normally appear into which the LCD display screen is disposed.   
     
     
         2 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the toy figure is a robot, alien, insect, animal, or dinosaur. 
     
     
         3 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the living thing is an inanimate object with human-like characteristics, such as ears, hands, feet, face, or torso. 
     
     
         4 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, in the case where the LCD display screen is part of the electronic device, the electronic device is a portable electronic device which is removable from the simulated head apparatus. 
     
     
         5 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, in the case of a body, the body resembles that of a person, doll, robot, alien, insect, animal, dinosaur or inanimate object with human-like characteristics. 
     
     
         6 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the electronic device is integrated into the body and is connected to the LCD display screen which is integrated into the simulated head apparatus. 
     
     
         7 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, in the case without a body, the simulated head apparatus further comprises a stand. 
     
     
         8 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the simulated head apparatus is connected to at least one other simulated head apparatus by means of at least one body. 
     
     
         9 . A simulated head apparatus of a person, doll, toy figure, or living thing, comprised of
 computer software for storing, recording, and playing audio-visual images of recorded or pre-recorded faces, including faces of persons, animals, and cartoon characters; and   permanently attached or detachably attached accessories for the simulated head apparatus resembling physical characteristics of a head, including ears, earrings, hair, antennas, beard, goatee, headwear, a mane, horns, or a halo;   or a frame depicting artwork resembling said physical characteristics;   wherein the simulated head apparatus is a computer monitor in the shape of a head with means for attaching said accessories or frame.   
     
     
         10 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the toy figure is a robot, alien, insect, animal, or dinosaur. 
     
     
         11 . The simulated head apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the living thing is an inanimate object with human-like characteristics, such as ears, hair, or beard.
