Interactive talking dolls
First Claim
1. An interactive set of toys comprising:
- a first toy having a first action performing device;
a second toy having a second action performing device;
a first signal generator associated with said first action performing device, said first signal generator generating a first signal after an action is performed by said first action performing device;
a first signal transmitter associated with said first signal generator, said first signal transmitter transmitting said first signal; and
a first signal receiver associated with said second action performing device, said first signal receiver receiving said first signal from said first signal transmitter to activate said second action performing device.

Abstract
A set of interactive toys that perform a sequence of actions in response to one another without external activation other than an initial actuation to begin the sequence of actions. Preferably, each toy has an activation switch and/or a receiver for a wireless signal such as an infrared signal which activates the toy. Upon activation, the toy performs a desired action, such as the enunciation of a speech pattern, and signals another toy to perform a responsive action. Preferably, the toy are capable of performing several different action sequences, such as the enunciation of different conversations, the performance of different movements, etc. Additionally, the toys are programmable by a remote control device. The remote control device either functions as an activation switch, initiating a random or predetermined (yet not user determined) sequence of interactions, or as an interaction selector, such that a desired sequence of actions may be selected.

23. A method of causing a set of toys to perform an interactive sequence of actions, said method comprising the steps of:
-
activating a first toy to perform a first desired action;
generating a first signal identifying the first desired action performed;
transmitting said first signal to a second toy;
causing said first signal to activate said second toy to perform a second desired action responsive to said first desired action. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
