ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a communications device incorporated into a doll-like figure with at least one microphone, at least one speaker and communications module for exchange of data with a digital data network. The invention thus proceeds from a digital telephone, preferably a videophone. The invention creates a communications device suitable for recording and reproducing other signals in addition to conventional data, particularly sound signals. The doll-like figure containing the communications device has a base body with at least one moving part attached to the base body, and at least one adjusting motor for driving the part. The motor is controlled by a control device which receives control signals via the communications module from the data network. A movement sensor may be provided which detects a manual adjusting movement of the moving part and which is connected to the data network with a data line, thereby permitting the movement signals to be transmitted as control signals to the data network.
