Interactive Book with Detection of Lifted Flaps
First Claim
1. An interactive system, comprising:
- a housing which forms a substantially planar surface configured to support at least one printed media sheet, wherein the at least one printed media sheet comprises at least one lift-the-flap element;
a playback device configured to provide multimedia data relating to the at least one lift-the-flap element of the at least one printed media sheet;
a detector which is configured to detect a position of the at least one lift-the-flap element and provide position information;
a processing unit coupled to the playback device and the detector, wherein the processing unit is configured to cause playback of the multimedia data via the playback device based on the position information provided by the detector.

Abstract
An interactive system for providing multimedia data in response to interaction with lift-the-flap elements. The system may include a housing which forms a substantially planar surface configured to support at least one printed media sheet. The printed sheet may include at least one lift-the-flap element. The system may further include a playback device configured to provide multimedia data relating to the lift-the-flap element. The system may include a detector which is configured to detect a position of the lift-the-flap element and provide position information. The system may further include a processing unit configured to cause playback of the multimedia data via the playback device based on the position information provided by the detector.

12. A method for operating an interactive system, comprising:
-
receiving first input indicating a current page of a plurality of pages; receiving second input indicating that a lift-the-flap element of the current page has been lifted; identifying the lift-the-flap element; providing playback of multimedia data based on said receiving the second input, wherein the playback of the multimedia data corresponds to the identified lift-the-flap element. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An interactive book, comprising:
-
a housing which forms a substantially planar surface configured to support a plurality of printed media sheets, wherein each printed media sheet comprises at least one lift-the-flap element; a playback device configured to provide audio data relating to the at least one lift-the-flap element of the at least one printed media sheet; a memory medium which stores audio data relating to the at least one lift-the-flap element of the at least one printed media sheet; an audio output configured to output the audio data stored on the memory medium; a printed media sheet detector, wherein the printed media sheet detector is configured to detect a current media sheet and provide an indication of the current media sheet; a lift-the-flap element detector which is configured to detect a position of the at least one lift-the-flap element of the current media sheet and provide an indication of when the at least one lift-the-flap element is lifted; processing unit coupled to the memory medium, the output, and the detector, wherein the processing logic is configured to cause playback of the audio data corresponding to the at least one lift-the-flap element of the current media sheet via the audio output based on the indication of the current media sheet and the indication of when the at least one lift-the-flap element is lifted. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A printed media sheet for an interactive system, comprising:
-
a printed media sheet identifier usable to identify the printed media sheet; one or more printed images and/or text displayed on the printed media sheet; a plurality of lift-the-flap elements, wherein each of the plurality of the lift-the-flap elements comprise an identifier, wherein the identifier is usable to uniquely identify the lift-the-flap element for use in the interactive system; wherein the printed media sheet is adapted to be included in the interactive system, such that, in response to an identification of the lift-the-flap element, the interactive system is operable to provide playback of corresponding multimedia data. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
