Abstract

A cloud servicing system is provided to support a consumer for interactively programming a programmable product such as programmable toys or home security system. A consumer friendly path driven programming method is introduced to supplement the servicing cloud and support the new world of intelligent home and consumer programmable applications. The system may comprise a consumer programmed smart phone/touch pad as well as proprietary smart phone circuit.
