Abstract: A toy having a detachable central processing unit is comprised of a central processing unit with a built-in growth algorithm for having the toy grow, a driving unit for exhibiting action according to growth or outputting an audio information and a link unit for linking the central processing unit and the driving unit. Therefore, in case of using just the central processing unit, the toy with which the toy can grow or to which application programs are installed using the cyber character so as to utilize as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), mobile phone and a computer for home-use. Also, in case the toy is combined with the central processing unit, it can perform more improved actions thus to give a variety of learning chances and attract a variety of interest.
