ABSTRACT:
An interactive toy programmed to respond in different ways to mechanical stimulation depending on the level and kind of applied stimulation. The toy includes a body and an electronic circuit coupled to the body which electronic circuit may be connected to a power source for supplying electric current to the circuit. The circuit includes a sensor arranged in association with the body, which sensor is responsive to mechanical stimulation to produce a signal dependent on the nature and degree of the mechanical stimulation. A signal recognition and processing device is coupled to the sensor, which device is for processing the signal to produce a command. An output device is, in turn, coupled to the signal recognition and processing device, which output device is for carrying out a programmed response in response to the command. The sensor is an elastomeric variable resistor composition including an elastomer in which are embedded conductive particles. Mechanical stimulation of the sensor alters its resistance to create the signal which is processed by the signal recognition and processing device to give rise to the programmed response when the circuit is connected to the power source.
