Patent number: 10994191Abstract: An electronic card game system and method using NFC or RFID electromagnetic communication, including an initiator having a driving coil, a first card having a secondary coil with a capacitor, and a playing piece having a receiving coil. The initiator and the first card may be placed on a playing surface so that at least a portion of the driving coil and at least a portion of the secondary coil overlap. Similarly, the first card and the playing piece may be placed on a playing surface so that at least a portion of the receiving coil and at least a second portion of the secondary coil overlap. These overlapped coils allow a driving signal initiated at the driving coil to be transmitted through the secondary coil and received by the receiving coil.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas S Amireh, Vladimir Buzga, Vladimir Sosnovskiy

Patent number: 9746558Abstract: A proximity sensing apparatus includes a device housing, a plurality of energy emitters, an energy detector, a reflective member, and a controller system. The proximity sensing apparatus channels reflected energy to the energy detector and determines the location of the source of reflection. The channeling of energy to the energy detector may reduce manufacturing costs by utilizing less hardware while maintaining a high level of reliability.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventor: Vladimir Sosnovskiy

Publication number: 20170206561Abstract: Techniques are provided for an interactive point of purchase product display. The interactive point of purchase product display includes a product placement region, one or more products located in the product placement region, an input device configured to receive an input signal, a controller device, and a selection indicator device. The input device may receive data about a potential consumer or customer. The controller device is coupled to the input device and the one or more products and is configured to receive data from the input device responsive to the input signal, select a product in response to the receive input and generate a selection signal identifying the product resulting in the attention of a customer to be drawn to the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventors: Eric E. Skifstrom, Peter E. Teel, Vladimir Buzga, Mary M. Hinkley, Vladimir Sosnovskiy

Publication number: 20080014830Abstract: A doll system is disclosed that may detect objects or accessories that are proximate to the body of the doll. The system may differentiate between a plurality of accessories and generate sounds that are appropriate for the specific accessory. The doll body may have a sensor circuit with an inductor connected to a processor. The accessory may include a tank circuit. A drive signal in the sensor circuit may activate the tank circuit to generate a signal with a frequency. The tank signal circuit may generate a characteristic signal in the sensor circuit that is detected by the processor. An audio file may be selected from memory based on the characteristics of the detected signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Inventors: Vladimir Sosnovskiy, Mihai Cartianu
