Abstract

A toy stuffed animal with remote video and audio capability that includes a camera configured to capture video data through at least one eye, a first microphone disposed within the toy configured to capture audio data emitted proximal the toy, and a first transmitter in wireless communication with a second receiver disposed within a handheld communicator, wherein video and audio data captured from scenes proximal the toy are wirelessly communicable to the communicator and remotely payabale thereon by means of a display and a second speaker, respectively, whereby depression of a talk button upon the communicator enables transmission of audio signals received through a second microphone and relayed through a second transmitter in the communicator back to a first receiver in the toy, whereby said signals are playable upon a first speaker disposed within the toy so that the toy appears to speak sensibly and intelligently in response to stimuli.

Claims

1. A toy stuffed animal with remote video and audio capability comprising:

a stuffed animal body having at least one eye;

a first speaker disposed interiorly within the body;

a camera disposed within the body configured to capture video data through the at least one eye;

a first microphone disposed within the body configured to capture audio data issued proximal the body;

a first receiver disposed within the body;

a first transmitter disposed within the body configured to relay said video and audio data wirelessly to a remotely situated handheld communicator, said communicator comprising;

a second receiver configured to receive said wireless audio and video data;

a display upon which said video data is playable;

a second speaker configured to transmit said audio data;

a second microphone able to receive audio signals issued proximal thereto; and

a second transmitter configured to relay said audio signals to the first receiver whereby said audio signals are playable by the first speaker disposed within the toy stuffed animal body;

wherein a first person holding the handheld communicator can see and hear a second person proximal the toy stuffed animal body in real time whereby the first person can communicate in real time wirelessly with said second person by use of the handheld communicator.

2. The toy stuffed animal with remote video and audio capability of claim 1 wherein the body comprises:

a head;

a torso; and

a plurality of limbs;

wherein the first speaker is disposed within the torso whereby the toy stuffed animal remains soft and pliable to the touch.

3. The toy stuffed animal with remote video and audio capability of claim 2 further comprising:

a first battery pack disposed within the torso; and

a second battery pack disposed within the handheld communicator;

wherein the first battery pack is interiorly situated within the torso proximal the speaker whereby the torso remains soft to the touch.

4. A toy stuffed animal with remote video and audio capability comprising:

a stuffed animal body having at least one eye, the body comprising;

a head;

a torso;

a plurality of limbs;

a first battery pack interiorly disposed within the torso;

a first speaker interiorly disposed within the body;

a camera disposed within the body configured to capture video data through the at least one eye;

a first microphone interiorly disposed within the body configured to capture audio data issued proximal the body;

a first receiver interiorly disposed within the body;

a first transmitter interiorly disposed within the body configured to relay said video and audio data wirelessly to a remotely situated handheld communicator, said communicator comprising;

a second battery pack;

a second receiver configured to receive said wireless audio and video data;

a display upon which said video data is playable;

a second speaker configured to transmit said audio data;

a second microphone able to receive audio signals issued proximal thereto;

a second transmitter configured to relay said audio signals to the first receiver whereby said audio signals are playable by the first speaker disposed within the toy stuffed animal torso; and

a depressible talk button configured to activate the second transmitter when depressed;

wherein the toy stuffed animal body is soft and pliable to the touch and a first person holding the handheld communicator can see and hear a second person proximal the toy stuffed animal body in real time, whereby the first person can communicate in real time wirelessly with said second person by use of the handheld communicator.
