Communication system for radio controlled toy vehicle
First Claim
1. In a communication system for transmitting control signals from a remote control to a toy vehicle, the remote control including control switches, an encoder and a transmitter, the toy vehicle including a receiver, a decoder and actuators for controlling the operation of the toy vehicle in accordance with control signals received from the remote control, wherein the improvement comprises:
- the encoder generating a continuous stream of control signal packets, each of the packets including a predetermined number of biphase encoded bits, each biphase bit being of the same predetermined width with a fifty percent duty cycle including two transmit elements with one binary state being defined as both of the transmit elements of a bit being the same and the other binary state being defined as both of the transmit elements of a bit being opposite, each packet including a first predetermined number of flag bits which are the same for all packets, a second predetermined number of data bits which vary depending upon the positions of the control switches and at least one checksum bit.

Abstract
A communication scheme is employed for transmitting control signals from a remote control to a toy vehicle. The remote control includes control switches, an encoder and a transmitter and the toy vehicle includes a receiver, a decoder and actuators for controlling the operation of the toy vehicle in accordance with received control signals. The encoder generates a continuous stream of control signal packets with each of the packets including a predetermined number of biphase encoded bits. Each biphase encoded bit is of the same predetermined width with a 50% duty cycle, including two transmit elements. For one binary state, both of the transmit elements are the same and for the other binary state both of the transmit elements are opposite. Each packet includes a first predetermined number of flag bits, a second predetermined number of data bits and at least one checksum bit.
