Interactive talking doll
First Claim
1. A toy doll interactive with a user, the doll comprising:
- a body having an opening simulating a mouth;
two activatable electrical switches disposed proximal to the simulated mouth;
a speaker attached to the body; and
an electrical circuit electrically connected with the switches and with the speaker and configured to transmit a first signal to the speaker when one of the two switches is activated and a second signal to the speaker when the other of the two switches is activated, the circuit having an electronic memory for storing a plurality of signals corresponding to audio messages and is configured to randomly select one of the stored signals from the memory and transmit the signal to the speaker;
a first object insertable into the mouth and configured to activate one of the two switches; and
a second object insertable at least partially within the simulated mouth and configured to activate the other of the two switches;
one of the plurality of signals stored in the memory corresponds to an audio message prompting the user to insert the first object into the simulated mouth; and
another of the plurality of signals corresponds to an audio message prompting the user to insert the second object into the simulated mouth.

Abstract
A toy doll includes a body having an opening simulating a mouth and first and second electrical switches, each switch being disposed proximal to the simulated mouth and activatable by an object inserted at least partially into the mouth. A speaker is attached to the body. An electrical circuit including an integrated circuit chip is electrically connected with the switches and with the speaker. A base configured as a feeding tray is disposed externally of and is detachably connected with the body. The base has three external switches electrically connected with the circuit chip. The circuit chip has a plurality of memory registers, each register storing a separate signal corresponding to a separate audio message. The chip is configured to randomly select a prompt signal from the memory registers and to transmit the stored signal to the speaker. The prompt signal prompts the user to select a specified one of the switches. The chip is also configured to compare the selected switch with the specified switch. Further, the chip is configured to transmit a first message to the speaker when the specified switch is activated and a second message when a switch other than the specified switch is activated. The first message informs the user that the selection was correct and the second message informs the user that the selection was incorrect.
