Abstract: The system includes a plurality of toy construction elements, a scanning device operable to capture a digital representation of a toy construction model constructed from one or more of said tov construction elements, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine, from the digital representation, one or more attribute parameters, each indicative of a respective attribute derivable from one or more toy construction elements in the toy construction model. The processor is further configured to determine, based on the determined one or more attribute parameters, a selection of one or more items selected from a choice of items. The selection provides a definition of the one or more deliverables. The system further comprises transmission means adapted to pass the definition to a production facility for producing and configuring the one or more deliverables in agreement with the definition.

Abstract: A shelving system comprising at least one back panel and at least one block element, the back panel comprises a substantially planar surface, and where the at least one block element is mounted on the back panel, wherein the back panel comprises at least two areas, a first area of the at least one back panel comprising protrusions; the protrusions being mutually identical and positioned on the planar surface in grid points of a regular two dimensional grid; and a second area of the at least one back panel comprises the at least one block element, the block element extending in a distance corresponding to one or multiple of a standard module size in a plane parallel to the planar surface of the back panel in two mutually perpendicular directions defined by grid points of a regular two dimensional grid.
Abstract: A configurable manual controller for manipulating images or symbols on a display is adapted for construction with matable building elements arranged by a user. The user forms the manual controller to exhibit a customized ornamental appearance reflecting the user's creative design preferences.
Abstract: The invention relates to a toy system including a plurality of toy construction elements, an image capturing device and a processor. The image capturing device is operable to capture one or more images of a toy construction model constructed from the toy construction elements. The processor is configured to: execute a digital game having computer executable code causing the processor to provide a digital play experience; receive an unlock code indicative of one or more virtual objects; unlock the one or more virtual objects for use in the digital play experience, each virtual object being associated with one of the respective toy construction elements or with a respective toy construction model; receive one or more images captured by said image capturing device; recognize one or more toy construction elements and/or toy construction models within the one or more images; provide a digital play experience involving said first unlocked virtual object.
