Toy laser gun and laser target system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toy gun capable of transmitting a laser beam and/or an infrared (“IR”) beam of light for use in a game. The toy gun also has a detector for detecting a laser and IR signal. A controller within the gun tracks the number of shots tired, the type of light beam fired, the number of hits received by other guns, and permits the user to alternate between firing an IR beam or laser beam. The toy gun also has unique features available through the use of lasers, including detecting the distance to a target. The present invention further relates to an interactive electronic targeting system for use with a toy laser gun. The targeting system includes an electronic multicolored backlit board with light detecting sensors positioned within the hoard. The targeting system is programmed with multiple interactive games for use with a toy gun.

What is claimed is 
     
         1 . A laserlight target, comprising:
 a target surface;   a plurality of laserlight sensors positioned on the target surface to detect laser light; and   a processor to simulate a game for a user to play with a laserlight emitting gun.   
     
     
         2 . The laserlight target of  claim 1 , further comprising a display screen to display information relating to the game. 
     
     
         3 . The laserlight target of  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of game mode buttons to change the game to be played by a user. 
     
     
         4 . The laserlight target of  claim 3 , further comprising a multicolored backlight on the target surface to light up portions of the target surface during the game. 
     
     
         5 . The laserlight target of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of game mode buttons to change the game to be played by a user. 
     
     
         6 . The laserlight target of  claim 1 , further comprising a multicolored backlight on the target surface to light up portions of the target surface during the game.
