Interactive Animal Communications Apparatus Accessory Device

Abstract

An interactive animal communications apparatus accessory device conceals a communications apparatus within a stuffed animal and functionally attaches the communications apparatus to a microphone and speaker allowing a person to interact with another person through the stuffed animal as if the stuffed animal was hearing and speaking. The device includes a stuffed animal and a camera substantially concealed in the stuffed animal and includes a lens exposed to an exterior of the stuffed animal to monitor an area adjacent to the stuffed animal. A speaker is concealed in the stuffed animal. A plug is operationally coupled to each of the camera and the speaker and concealed in the stuffed animal. A transceiver is positionable in the stuffed animal. The plug couples to the transceiver such that the speaker broadcasts sound from an extrinsic device through the transceiver and the transceiver transmits video from the camera to the extrinsic device.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An interactive animal communications apparatus accessory device comprising:
 a stuffed animal having a head, a body, and an opening extending into an interior of said stuffed animal;   a camera coupled to said stuffed animal, said camera being substantially concealed in said stuffed animal, said camera having a lens exposed to an exterior of said stuffed animal wherein said camera is configured to monitor an area adjacent to said stuffed animal;   a speaker coupled to said stuffed animal, said speaker being concealed in said stuffed animal;   a plug operationally coupled to each of said camera and said speaker, said plug being concealed in said stuffed animal; and   a transceiver positionable in said stuffed animal, said plug coupling to said transceiver such that said speaker broadcasts sound from an extrinsic device through said transceiver and the transceiver transmits video from the camera to the extrinsic device.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising said transceiver being a cellular telephone. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a microphone coupled to said stuffed animal, said microphone being concealed in said stuffed animal, said microphone being operationally coupled to said plug wherein said microphone is configured to transmit audio from said microphone to the extrinsic device through said transceiver. 
     
     
         4 . The device of claim said opening being in a back of said stuffed animal. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , further comprising a closure coupled to said stuffed animal, said closure closing said opening wherein said transceiver is securable within said stuffed animal. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising said lens being positioned to align with a nostril in a nose of said stuffed animal. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , further comprising said nose being positioned at an end of a snout of said stuffed animal wherein said lens is forwardly positioned relative to a body of said stuffed animal. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising said speaker being positioned in a torso of said stuffed animal under a mouth of said stuffed animal. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising said microphone being positioned in a mouth of said stuffed animal. 
     
     
         10 . An interactive animal communications apparatus accessory device comprising:
 a stuffed animal having a head, a body, and an opening extending into an interior of said stuffed animal, said opening being in a back of said stuffed animal;   a camera coupled to said stuffed animal, said camera being substantially concealed in said stuffed animal, said camera having a lens exposed to an exterior of said stuffed animal wherein said camera is configured to monitor an area adjacent to said stuffed animal, said lens being positioned to align with a nostril in a nose of said stuffed animal, said nose being positioned at an end of a snout of said stuffed animal wherein said lens is forwardly positioned relative to a body of said stuffed animal;   a speaker coupled to said stuffed animal, said speaker being concealed in said stuffed animal, said speaker being positioned in a torso of said stuffed animal under a mouth of said stuffed animal;   a plug operationally coupled to each of said camera and said speaker, said plug being concealed in said stuffed animal;   a transceiver positionable in said stuffed animal, said plug coupling to said transceiver such that said speaker broadcasts sound from an extrinsic device through said transceiver and the transceiver transmits video from the camera to the extrinsic device, said transceiver being a cellular telephone;   a microphone coupled to said stuffed animal, said microphone being concealed in said stuffed animal, said microphone being operationally coupled to said plug wherein said microphone is configured to transmit audio from said microphone to the extrinsic device through said transceiver, said microphone being positioned in a mouth of said stuffed animal; and   a closure coupled to said stuffed animal, said closure closing said opening wherein said transceiver is securable within said stuffed animal.
