Abstract

A method and a device of community interaction with a toy as the center are provided. The connection from the wireless network sensor within the toy to the wireless network AP can be set by a handheld device. Then, the handheld device connects to a community server and creates a user group. The toy can connect to the community server and be added to the user group. The other handheld devices or toys can also connect and be added to the user group. After the groups are created, the handheld device can send a voice message to the toy via the community server and the toy can play the voice message by a speaker. The toy can record a relative message and send back to the entire user group or a specific member. Toys and all group members can interact in this user group.

Claims

1. A device of community interaction with a toy as the center, comprising:

a first doll, having a microcontroller comprising an Iot wireless connector, a RFID sensor, a speaker, a recorder, a voice recognizer and an image recognizer respectively connected with the microcontroller;

a second doll, having a microcontroller comprising an Iot wireless connector, a RFID sensor, a speaker and a recorder respectively connected with the microcontroller;

a first smartphone comprising a wireless network connector, an application program installed in the first smartphone setting the first doll to connect with a wireless network access point, and the application program connecting with a community server to create a user group;

a second smartphone installed with the application program connecting with the community server, and being added to the user group;

wherein the first doll is connected with the community server via the wireless network access point, and the first doll is added to the user group to receive a first voice message sent from the second handheld device, and the first voice message is played by the speaker of the first doll, a second voice message is recorded by the recorder and transmitted to the second smartphone by using the voice recognizer or the image recognizer;

wherein the RFID sensor of the first doll and the RFID sensor of the second doll sense mutually so as to be connected with each other when the first doll approaches the second doll, and the second doll is added to the user group when the first doll connects with the community server and completes the connecting identification by the second smartphone, then the second doll receives the first voice message and the first voice message is played by the speaker of the second doll, a third voice message is recorded by the recorder and transmitted to the first doll or the second smartphone.

2. The device of community interaction with a toy as the center of claim 1, wherein the first doll and the second doll connects with each other when the first doll approaches the second doll, and the first doll is added to the user group of the second doll when the second doll connects with the community server.

3. The device of community interaction with a toy as the center of claim 1, wherein the second doll comprises a voice recognizer and an image recognizer connected with the microcontroller, and the second doll decides a transmission object of the third voice message through the voice recognizer or the image recognizer.

4. The device of community interaction with a toy as the center of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first smartphone and the second smartphone comprises a text-to-speech converter configured to transform text messages of the first smartphone and the second smartphone into the first voice message.

5. A method of community interaction with a toy as the center, comprising:

setting a wireless network connector of a first toy by a first handheld device to connect the first toy with a wireless network access point;

connecting the first handheld device with a community server and creating a user group by an application program downloaded by the first handheld device;

connecting the first toy with the community server and adding the first toy to the user group by the wireless network access point;

connecting a second handheld device with the community server by the application program downloaded by the second handheld device such that the second handheld device is added to the user group;

transmitting a first voice message of at least one of the first handheld device and the second handheld device to the first toy via the community server by the application program, and playing the first voice message by a speaker of the first toy, and

recording a second voice message by a recorder of the first toy, and transmitting the second voice message to a specific or all the handheld devices of the user group by the community server.

6. The method of community interaction with a toy as the center of claim 5, further comprising:

setting a second toy to connect with the community server and adding the second toy to the user group, the second toy receiving the first voice message sent from the user group, and recording and transmitting a third voice message to the first toy or any handheld devices of the user group.

7. The method of community interaction with a toy as the center of claim 5, wherein the first toy further comprises a wireless communication sensor;
