Remote controlled toy
First Claim
1. A remote controlled toy element for remote control by means of signals from a remote control unit, said toy element comprisinga sensor which is coupled to a microprocessor for detection of the signals, at least one unit which is controlled by the microprocessor to control the at least one unit in response to a program which is executed by the microprocessor, said program comprising program steps which when executed make the microprocessor responsive to the signals, wherein the toy element is arranged to record a pulse pattern with pulses which have flanks, and to control a predetermined of the at least one unit in dependence of how flanks, with intervals that are longer than 100 milliseconds, occurred temporally in the recorded pulse pattern.

Abstract
A remote controlled apparatus (4), e.g., a remote controlled toy, for remote control from a remote control unit, e.g., a pocket torch (2). The apparatus is characterized in that it is adapted to respond to a sequence of light pulses which have a frequency of repetition that is lower than the maximum frequency which a human being can produce manually, e.g., by alternately turning the torch on and off. In a special embodiment, after a received sequence of light pulses, the apparatus is adapted to emit an acoustic acceptance signal by means of a sound generator (15).
