Interactive application platform for a motorized toy entity and display
First Claim
1. A control system for a motorized entity comprising:
- an electronic device with a display, and an electronic device integrated circuit with a set of marker control software instructions with a capability to generate and display a position marker having an area within a pixel arrangement;
an entity with one or more sensors in communication with an entity integrated circuit, the entity integrated circuit in communication with a motorized capability to move the entity and including a set of entity control software instructions, the one or more sensors capable of detecting a pixel arrangement and configured to send a detection signal to the entity integrated circuit upon detection thereof; and
a capability to direct entity movements,wherein the set of marker control software instructions is configured to direct the electronic device to(i) generate and display the position marker on the display, and(ii) generate and display the position marker in subsequent locations on the display in a programmed pattern,wherein the set of entity control software instructions is configured to direct the entity to(i) receive one or more detections signals from the one or more sensors indicating detection of a pixel arrangement, and(ii) send control signals to the motorized capability to move the entity to maintain entity positioning in relation to the detected pixel arrangement,and wherein when the entity is positioned within the pixel arrangement at an initial position and the one or more sensors detect the pixel arrangement and send a detection signal to the entity integrated circuit to activate the motorized capability to move the entity to maintain entity positioning in relation to the pixel arrangement such that the entity moves in accordance to the programmed pattern of the displayed subsequent locations of the position marker.

Abstract
An illustrative application control system is provided having an entity and an electronic device with a display. The control system includes software operating instructions to direct movement of the entity and to direct display operation to interact with the entity. The entity may have the capability to move when positioned on the display and to detect pixels and pixel arrangements on the display. The electronic device may include the capability to generate and display the pixels and pixel arrangements in subsequent locations on the display to trigger entity responses. The software operating instructions may include content such as audio output and/or performance instructions to facilitate interaction between the entity and electronic device.

22. A control system for a motorized entity comprising:
-
an electronic device with a display and an electronic device integrated circuit including a set of marker control software instructions to generate and display a position marker having an area within a pixel arrangement; an entity with one or more sensors in communication with an entity integrated circuit in communication with a motorized capability to move the entity upon the display and including a set of entity control software instructions, the one or more sensors capable of detecting pixel arrangements on the display and configured to send a detection signal to the entity integrated circuit upon detection thereof; and the entity including a capability to locate the position marker wherein the set of entity control software instructions is configured to activate the motorized capability to move the entity to execute a location movement, the location movement further defined as a series of entity movements on the display in a preprogrammed pattern where the entity executes the movements until the sensors detect the pixel arrangement of the position marker, wherein the electronic device is configured to generate and display the position marker such that when the entity is placed on the display and the set of entity control software instructions activates the location movement the entity moves in the preprogrammed pattern upon the display until the entity locates the position marker. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
