Interactive Toy

Abstract

In an embodiment of the present invention, an interactive remote controlled toy ( 10 ) is provided. The toy ( 10 ) includes a vehicle ( 200 ) and a plurality of motion sensitive controllers ( 100 ) that cooperate to control the vehicle. The plurality of controllers ( 100 ) cooperate such that their relative orientation ( 110 ) determines the speed and direction the vehicle ( 200 ) moves.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An interactive remote controlled toy comprising:
 a plurality of independently operative controllers, each controller having a control and a transmitter for sending at least one signal; and,   a vehicle having a receiver, control unit, and vehicle motion controller, the vehicle responsive and moving by the collective signals received by the receiver from the controllers.   
     
     
         2 . The toy of  claim 1  wherein the vehicle's response is both speed and direction of movement of the vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the control for each controller is an orientation sensor. 
     
     
         4 . The toy of  claim 1  wherein the vehicle's response is the summation of all the signals received by all the controllers. 
     
     
         5 . The toy of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of controllers cooperate such that their relative orientation determines the direction the vehicle moves. 
     
     
         6 . The toy of  claim 5  wherein the plurality of controllers cooperate such that their relative orientation determines the speed the vehicle moves.
