Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein is directed to a connected kitchen toy device configured to allow a player to imitate cooking in a real kitchen, wherein an action performed by the player on the kitchen toy device is identified by and creates a simultaneous reaction on a smart device connected to said kitchen toy and/or on the kitchen toy device itself. The kitchen toy device comprises at least one input element and one output element, and a communication module for allowing bi-directional communication between the kitchen toy and the smart device. The action performed by the player on the kitchen toy device is identified by at least one input element positioned on the kitchen toy and/or on the smart device, wherein the action results in creation of at least one output reaction on either one of said kitchen toy device, smart device, or on both.

Abstract: A system and method for designing and manufacturing products are provided. A system and method may include receiving one or more characteristics of a product; automatically selecting, based on the characteristics, one or more physical components to be included in the product; automatically defining a firmware module configured to interface with the selected physical modules; and automatically generating a set of manufacturing specifications usable for manufacturing the product, wherein the product includes the selected physical components and the firmware module.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a connected toy configured to interact with least one another connected toy upon actual meeting with said at least one another connected toy in a state that said toys are non-connected to a smart device, wherein said interaction allows the toy to recognize the at least one another toy and/or to exchange data with said at least one another toy, said recognition data and/or data exchanged between them is being saved on the toy and uploaded to a smart device upon reconnection of the toy to said smart device to report the smart device that an interaction between the toys has occurred, and to allow the smart device to make use of the exchanged data. The invention is further directed to a connected toys system configured to allow data transmission from a game occurring in the reality to a virtual game of the same connected toys.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a dynamic notification system configured to allow a product to send one or more notifications to a user in a dynamic and programmable manner, without having a constant connection to a smart device, and without being constantly in an operation mode, said system comprising: a product configured to be synchronized with a smart device of said user for obtaining at least one notification to be executed by at least one output element comprised in said product, wherein said product is configured to power itself on at a time point a notification should be executed, and to turn itself off upon completing to execute said notification instructions until another notification time point arrives to be executed, so as to consume minimal energy between executions of subsequent notifications; and a smart device comprising a dedicated software configured to allow recognition and connectivity of the smart device with said product so as to transmit notifications to said product to be executed accordi

Abstract: The invention is directed to a connected toy device comprising at least one sensing element configured to provide a complementary data to a limited visual recognition data obtained from a camera, so as to obtain an accurate reflection of a real-time playing scene of a player with said connected toy device and allow production of a suitable response to the player on a smart device connected to said toy according to processing of the combined data obtained from said camera and the at least one sensing element.

Abstract: The invention is directed to modular connected game board having a generic game board base and at least one identifiable object, the game board base is configured to allow recognition of the identity and the position of the at least one identifiable object on the game board base upon positioning of said at least one identifiable objects on the game board base, and wherein, an image of said identifiable object is displayed on a smart device in a respective position, said smart device comprising a software program for identifying the identifiable object, and activating or deactivating the interaction of the game board base, the smart device, and the identifiable object. The identifiable object may be either one of a replaceable topping adapted to be placed on said game board base, said topping constitutes a unique game display, or an interactive figure associated with said unique game display, or both.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel recognition arrangement configured to allow identification of a detachable toy element and its relative position on a play structure so as to enable a further display of a virtual character of said toy element in its relative position on the play structure on a smart device screen displaying an image of said play structure. The recognition arrangement provided herein comprising a TAG component affixed to the detachable toy element and an environmental recognition component (ERC) affixed to the play structure. The identification of a specific detachable toy element and its position on the play structure are obtained upon attachment of the TAG component and the ERC. Attachment of the TAG component and the ERC is detected by periodic scanning of a control unit connected to the play structure for changes of voltage or current values. Upon detection of such a change, the sampled value is delivered to the smart device for further interpretation and display.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a novel detachable toy console usable as a control unit for multiple connected toy systems, said toy console is configured and operable to connect interchangeably with at least one smart device and to be attached to a console ready toy and detached from it, to thereby allow a user to use the toy console with another console ready toy, said toy console comprising: a MCU; a communication module for establishing connection with at least one smart device; an external connector for attaching and detaching the toy console to the console ready toy; and a power source. The toy console may further comprise a motion sensor and be used as a wearable toy console.
