Abstract: A talking toy having audible message reproduction, a storage device for storing audible messages, at least on sensor of external activation, at least one environment sensor, an electronic clock, a message selecting device, and a storage device for storing parameters for choosing audible messages. The toy reproduces messages in response to an external activation of the sensor. An audible message is selected under the influence of parameters recorded in the storage device. These parameters characterize the personality represented by the toy. The selection of messages for reproduction depends on the type of external activation, environment conditions, such as temperature and the currant time of the day, as well as a random factor. The toy reflects the change in the mood of the character depending on the factors.

Abstract: Each of interacting toys comprises a housing defining its form and outward appearance, means for transmitting messages with information about the first toy, means for receiving messages transmitted by the other toy with information about the second toy, means for reproducing reaction of the first toy to the second toy and to the user interaction, storage means containing data about reactions of the first toy to various other toys and to various user actions. Each of interacting toys periodically sends messages about itself to another toy receives messages from it. If the first toy detects the presence of the second toy, it reacts to this fact for example by making a sound characterizing the reaction of the first toy to the second toy. The type of reaction and its intensity level depend on information received from the second toy. The seconds toy operates in the same way. Thus, the imitation of various relationships between toys and the variety of toys' behavior are provided.
