1. An interactive device for receiving visual inputs from an environment and providing responses based upon the inputs, comprising:
- an image sensor for capturing an external image of an object;
an image similarity engine for comparing the external image to a plurality of stored images, the image similarity engine providing a similarity score based on the comparison of the external image to a stored image; and
an event processing engine for creating a new event when the similarity score is bigger than or equal to a predefined threshold score, the event processing engine executing an event action associated with the new event.

Abstract
An interactive device, such as a toy, equipped with an image similarity engine capable of receiving external visual inputs and providing corresponding physical outputs. The device captures an image, compares the captured image with images stored in a database, and provides physical outputs according to the recognized images.

15. A method for a device interacting with an environment, the device receiving visual inputs from the environment and providing an output according to the visual inputs received, comprising the steps of:
-
sensing an external image;
calculating a similarity score based on a comparison between the external image with at least one stored image;
if the similarity score is bigger than a predefined threshold score, generating a new event object; and
executing an event action associated with the new event object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
