Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0158553A1] An animated toy figure (10) is constructed to rest upon the upper surface of a conventional computer (30) monitor such that a portion of the figure extends downwardly to overlie a portion of the display screen of the monitor. A light sensor (52) within the downwardly extending portion (23) of the animated figure is coupled to a sound and control circuit (55) which in turn controls the operation of a bidirectional motor (42). The figure includes an animated and articulated feature which is moved by the motor each time a particular level of light energy change is sensed by the light sensor. The animated figure responds to light changes on the computer monitor screen (32) to provide a brief period of animation and sound output.
