1. A toy system comprising:

  • a computer with a recording medium in which digital contents and a digital contents driving program are stored; and

    a movable device interfaced with said computer;

    wherein said digital contents are stored in said recording medium of said computer, and comprise image data, sound data and motion control data;

    wherein said digital contents driving program processes the following steps of;

    (a) reading said digital contents;

    (b) displaying the image data of said digital contents on a screen of said computer; and

    (c) transmitting the sound data and the motion control data of said digital contents as a packet form to said movable device connected with said computer;

    wherein said movable device comprises;

    a communication port for providing an interface with said computer;

    a microprocessor for decoding a data packet received via said communication port, outputting sound data and a motion control signal, and controlling operations of said movable device;

    a memory for storing a program and a motion code table required for the operation of said microprocessor;

    a decoder for decoding the sound data from said microprocessor to output a sound signal;

    a motor driving unit for driving a motor in response to the motion control signal from said microprocessor; and

    a motor installed in each part of said movable device; and

    wherein the image data is displayed on said computer screen and said movable device decodes the data packet transmitted from said computer to output the sound data to said digital sound decoder and the motion control signal to the motor driving unit when said digital contents driving program is processed in said computer, whereby the motion and sound output of said movable device are synchronized with the screen output of said computer.
