First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a child motion device having a speaker, a frame, and a child occupant seat supported by the frame, comprising:
- driving the child occupant seat for movement along a path in which the child occupant seat moves relative to the speaker;
generating feedback data indicative of the movement; and
creating a sound effect for an occupant of the child occupant seat that tracks along with the movement of the child occupant seat by modulating an audio output of the speaker in accordance with the feedback data.

Abstract
A method of controlling a child motion device includes the steps of determining data indicative of motion of the child motion device, and controlling an audio output of the child motion device in accordance with the data. In some cases, the controlling step includes the step of modulating the audio output in accordance with the data. For example, the modulating step may involve applying a modulation effect to an audio track available to the child motion device.

14. A child motion device comprising:
-
a frame; a speaker coupled to the frame; a child occupant seat supported by the frame; a drive system coupled to the frame to produce movement along a path in which the child occupant seat moves relative to the speaker; a sensor responsive to the movement to generate feedback data indicative of the movement; and
,a controller coupled to the sensor to create a sound effect for an occupant of the child occupant seat that tracks along with the movement of the child occupant seat via modulation of an audio output of the speaker in accordance with the feedback data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A child motion device comprising:
-
a frame; a speaker coupled to the frame; a child occupant seat supported by the frame; a drive system coupled to the frame to produce reciprocating movement along a path in which the child occupant seat moves relative to the speaker; a sensor responsive to the reciprocating movement to generate feedback data indicative of the reciprocating movement; and
,a controller coupled to the sensor to create a sound effect for an occupant of the child occupant seat that tracks along with the movement of the child occupant seat via modulation of an audio output of the speaker in accordance with the feedback data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
