Abstract: A method of modifying a binary image on a device includes receiving data of at least a portion of a binary patch file over a network, the binary patch file being representative of a difference between a first binary image stored on the device and a second binary image. The method further includes decompressing at least a portion of the data of the portion of the binary patch file to obtain decompressed data, modifying at least a portion of the first binary image stored on the device based at least in part on the decompressed data, and transmitting a request to receive data of a further portion of the binary patch file.

Abstract: A toy is controlled by a smart device with wireless communication network connection capability, a display screen and programmed to generate optical control signals transmitted through the screen. The toy includes a main body, a control circuit, a holder configured to receive and releasably hold the smart device, and an optical signal receiver supported facing the display screen of the smart device in the holder and operably connected with the control circuit. The control circuit responds to optical control signals transmitted through the screen and detected by the optical signal receiver to control at least one operation of the toy.
