摘要:
An interactive system for an amusement park, comprising one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to receive data related to prior interactions of a user with attractions within the amusement park, generate an inventory of phrases based on the prior interactions of the user and instruct display of the inventory of phrases at a base station control system associated with an animated character head for wearing by a performer, wherein the inventory of phrases comprises a menu of available phrases to be spoken by the animated character head during an interaction between the animated character head and the user, and generate an updated inventory of phrases in response to the interaction between the animated character head and the user, wherein the updated inventory of phrases comprises a menu of available phrases to be spoken by the animated character head during a future interaction with the user.
摘要:
A mechanism for animated characters capable of visually communicating facial expressions is provided. The mechanism (10) has two mesh gears per upper or lower lip (fig 1b). One gear of each pair is rotated by a single drive (20, 22). Each gear has two guidance devices (60, 62, 56, 58). Rotation of any gear to which the elastomeric material (80) is connected via a guidance device results in the stretch or ability to retract the elastomeric material. Secondary guidance devices (64, 66, 68, 70) on a gear, when in contact with the elastomeric material, cause an inflection or deflection of the elastomeric material. Resulting stretch or bending of the elastomeric material mimics facial expressions.

An expression mechanism for a toy having a lower lip (34), a cheek (22), and an eye (14), includes a support frame (82), a lip lever (78) pivotally connected to the support frame for engaging the lower lip of the toy, a cheek lever (76) pivotally connected to the support frame for engaging the cheek of the toy, an eye linkage (96) for opening and closing the eye of the toy, and a motor (121 ) for actuating one of the lip and cheek levers to cause the toy to simulate a facial expression. The lip and cheek levers are interconnected in a manner that when the cheek lever pivots in one direction, the Hp lever pivots in a generally opposite direction. The expression mechanism causes the toy to assume various facial expressions, including, but not limited to, smile, frown, and neutral.

An action wobble head doll includes a preprinted, die cut, animated body having an image secured thereto. The image can be a customized digital photograph. The image is secured to the body of the doll via a mounting assembly, which includes a spring secured to at least one mounting plate in a substantially perpendicular manner thereby creating a unique side-to-side movement of the image with respect to the body.
摘要:
Motion responsive toys having deformable body segments (14, 16). The toy (10) includes a first body segment (14) constructed from elastically deformable materials and a second body segment (16) operatively coupled to the first body segment (14). In some embodiments, movable appendages (18) are mounted to the body segments, with one appendage adapted to drive the motion of the other.
摘要:
An interactive toy apparatus including a toy (10) having a fanciful physical appearance (17, 18, 19, 20), a speaker (58) mounted on the toy (10), a user input receiver (28), a user information storage unit (74) storing information relating to at least one user, a content controller (82) operative in response to current user inputs received via the user input receiver (28) and to information stored in the storage unit (74) for providing audio content to the user via the speaker (58).
