Abstract: An interactive toy has an outer shell, with a non-reactive portion and a first reactive portion. There is a blow sensor for sensing blowing on the shell by a user or from sound from the user or another toy. A microprocessor processes the blowing or sound and generates instructions to cause operation of the reactive portion of the body. Several toys can be responsive to at least one of the toys or sounds, the responsiveness being generated from the user or from other of the several toys to obtain a multiple reaction of multiple toys as a started from an initial blowing or sound by a user or by a sound generation by of the multiple toys.

Abstract: A toy car and a remote control regulate the speed and movement of the car. A source of power energizes the drive motor thereby to change the vehicle speed and stopping. One or more sensors measure the speed and environment barriers relative to the vehicle. The drive motor speed can be increased decreased or stopped. The toy vehicle with a battery operates as a rechargeable system. A station on a track has an outlet on or in adjacency with a surface on which the remotely controllable toy is movable to and from electrical outlet contacts. The remote controlled toy has inlet contacts for electrically engaging the outlet contacts. The station is part of a track and the toy vehicle is normally directed to travel on the track and to a station.

Abstract: Altitude control of a toy flying vehicle intended for indoor hovering flight comprises providing a selected altitude level for the vehicle. A position control signal is transmitted from the vehicle towards a surface. A receiver in the vehicle receives the signal reflected from the surface. A level of the reflected signal by the receiver is determined, and a change of the reflected signal is an indicator of a change of altitude of the vehicle relative to the selected altitude level. The vehicle receiver communicates with the remote controller, and the remote controller can adjust and control speed and direction of the vehicle. Controlling the altitude can be by a stop control; an up and/or down control; and/or a high and/or low height sensitivity control, take-off/landing control; gesture mode control; left/right trim control; control between altitude control mode and manual control mode.

Abstract: A flying toy has a propeller rotated by the first motor mounted on the body. A propeller holder mounts the propeller. An end cap is located to the front of the propeller holder, and there is a snap joint between the holder and the end cap. The end cap is removable by disengagement of holder and end cap at the snap joint, and the propeller is releasable from the holder by a human hand and without a tool. When the toy crashes, the propeller is forced relatively free from the drive force rotating the holder and back towards the body and is trapped against separation from the toy.

Abstract: An interactive toy comprises a body having a non-reactive portion and a reactive portion. There is a CMOS image sensor with the body for capturing an image in the vicinity of the body. A microprocessor processes the captured image and generates instructions in response to the processed image. The instructions cause operation of the reactive portion of the body. The toy can be a doll including a plush, soft or hard plastic head and body; and the CMOS image sensor has a resolution of about or selectively less than 1M pixels.

Abstract: A helicopter includes a system to effect motion in a horizontal dimension thereby to direct the desired direction. The rotor blades are driven by a rotor shaft and which is hinge mounted on this rotor shaft, such that the angle between the plane of rotation of the main rotor and the rotor shaft may vary. A control for moving the angle of incidence of at least one blade of the rotor cyclically along at least part of a 360-degree rotation path around the rotor shaft. This causes a variation in a lift force of the blade along at least part of the rotations path. This causes the body to be urged in a relatively horizontal direction from a relative position of rest. The control includes an actuator for engaging with an assembly depending from the rotor, the inter-engagement of the actuator and assembly effecting a change in the angle of incidence of at least the one blade of the rotor. The system includes a rotor, preferably complemented with a stabilizer rotor.

Abstract: A toy car and a remote control regulate the speed of the car. A source of supplemental power selectively energizes the drive motor thereby to selectively permit the vehicle to move faster than the normal speed. A sensor measures the voltage to the vehicle motor. After stepping up the voltage to the drive motor, and detecting a drive motor current increase in excess of the capability of vehicle, the source of supplemental power is disabled. When a normal low voltage state is detected, the source of supplemental power in the vehicle is enabled whereby the motor supply voltage is permitted to increase above a normal low voltage state permitting more power to be provided to motor.

Abstract: A remote controller for toys includes a user interface which applies the low-cost capacitive sensing method with the remote controller. Users can touch and/or drag on a remote controller surface by fingers to remotely control the movement of R/C cars, planes, helicopters or a boat. The remote controller is essentially a flat faced unit and there is no need for protruding control sticks or pushbuttons. This controller is applicable to different types of remote control toys with digital proportional control on speed and steering control. The remote controller is a symmetric product design whereby the controller is easily operable with left and right hand conventions.

A portion between the leading edge and trailing edge provides an upper surface which has a curved shape. From the leading part of the upper surface towards the mid part of the surface there is a concave shape. The lower surface has a curved shape such that from the leading part of the upper surface towards the mid part of the surface there is a convex shape. A transverse aperture in the surfaces of the wing accommodates a propeller for creating thrust for forward flight. The blades of the propeller turn in a plane transverse to a line between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the surface.
