ABSTRACT:
An interactive conversational apparatus provides seamless uninterrupted conversational responsiveness to a variety of user inputs utilizing a storage media having a plurality of temporally related data storage tracks containing interactive conversational content. The conversational content and control code information are stored on tracks in a timed sequence for providing interactive pathways through the tracks dependent upon various user responses. A media player facilitates playback of the interactive conversational content. A control code reader reads the control code information and generates track selection information based upon the control codes. User-input buttons or keys receive responses from a user based upon the interactive conversational content. A track selector receives the track selection information and user-input responses, and accesses the tracks of the storage media in response to the user-input responses and the control code information for enabling the playback of the conversational content. The control codes include memory storage commands and memory switching commands, a switch-to-track command, a switch-to-track-in-memory command, an accumulation command, a command for storing in memory a response to a particular interrogatory, a command for switching to a particular track based upon the response to the interrogatory stored in the memory, start playback, stop playback, pause playback until a user-input response is received, a command to selectively operate the visual indicia of a particular switch in timed relation to interactive conversational content related to the particular switch, and a command to selectively flash the visual indicia of a particular switch.
