摘要:
A remotely controlled toy operable to communicate using a data communications link with an entertainment device comprises a video camera operable to capture video images of a real environment, a transmitter operable to transmit via the data communications link the video images captured by the video camera to the entertainment device, a receiver operable to receive, from the data communications link, control data generated by the entertainment device that relates to the control of the remotely controlled toy, and a controller operable to control behaviour of the remotely controlled toy, in which the control data comprises attribute control data that relates to an attribute associated with a virtual image feature generated by the entertainment device, the virtual image feature being generated by the entertainment device in dependence upon a detection by the entertainment device of a real environment feature within the real environment, and the controller is operable to modify the behaviour of the remotely controlled toy in dependence upon the attribute control data received from the entertainment device.
摘要:
An entertainment system comprises an entertainment device and an interactive toy. The entertainment device comprises a wireless receiver arranged in operation to receive data descriptive of the physical capabilities of an interactive toy from an interactive toy, processing means to generate interaction signals, and a wireless transmitter arranged in operation to transmit interaction signals to the interactive toy, and in which the generated interaction signals are responsive to the data descriptive of the physical capabilities of the interactive toy. The interactive toy comprises a wireless receiver arranged in operation to receive a query signal requesting information about physical capabilities of the interactive toy, data provision means for providing data descriptive of the capabilities of the interactive toy, and a wireless transmitter arranged in operation to transmit the data descriptive of the physical capabilities of the interactive toy in response to the query signal. The entertainment device is arranged in operation to transmit interactive control data to the interactive toy responsive to media content being played by the entertainment device, the interactive control data being further responsive to physical capabilities of the recipient interactive toy previously transmitted from the interactive toy to the entertainment system.
摘要:
An entertainment system comprises a remotely controlled toy having a video camera operable to capture video images of a real environment, the position of the toy being associated with a real path within the real environment, and an entertainment device operable to communicate using a data communications link with the remotely controlled toy, the device comprising a transmitter operable to transmit, via the data communications link, control data to the remotely controlled toy that relates to the control of the remotely controlled toy, a receiver operable to receive from the data communications link video images captured by the video camera of the remotely controlled toy, a detector operable to detect the real path of the toy within the real environment and generate real path data in dependence upon the detected real path, a processor operable to generate a virtual path in dependence upon the real patch data generated by the detector and to generate a virtual image feature in dependence upon the virtual path, and a display arrangement operable to generate a combined display of the captured video images and the virtual image feature such that the virtual image feature is arranged with respect to the video images so as to present the virtual image feature at a predetermined position within the real environment.
