Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0247013A2] A toy or game play apparatus or method involving a powered host such as a doll or a tablet which operates interactively with one or more non powered play objects. The host has a preprogrammed microcontroller and a RFID reader/interrogator circuit with at least one antenna. Each play object has a RFID tag IC and an antenna. Each tag IC has data that includes at least ID information different from that other the other play objects. When the host and a play object are positioned so as to afford RF communication between their antenna, the host sends power to energize the tag IC of the play object. This causes the tag IC to transmit data and makes a presentation to the user caused by that transmitted data. Some or even all of the presentation may be the data from the play object. In one mode the host may direct the user to position one or more designated play objects relative to the host, recognize whether or not the correct positioning has been achieved, and advise the user accordingly. The host may have multiple antennae at spaced apart locations, and may direct, recognize and advise as to play objects at each such location.
[origin: WO0247013A2] An interactive doll (1) containing a game unit (3), integral antennas (5a-5c), and a plurality of non-powered playing objects (8). Each playing object (8) contains an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag IC that contains data of different ID information for each playing object (8). When the doll (1) and a play object (8) are position so as to allow RF communication between their antenna, the game unit (3) of the doll (1) sends power to energized the tag IC of the play object (8). This causes the RFID tag IC to transmit the ID information data back to the game unit (3) of the doll (1). The doll (1) recognizes the transmitted data and makes a presentation to the user caused by the transmitted data.
