Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Set umfassend wenigstens eine Spielzeugpuppe und ein Empfangsgerät wobei die Spielzeugpuppe einen Körper mit Torso, Kopf, Armen und Beinen umfasst.The invention relates to a set comprising at least one toy doll and a receiver, wherein the toy doll comprises a body with torso, head, arms and legs.

Spielzeugpuppen sind im Stand der Technik in vielfältiger Ausführung bekannt und werden zweckentsprechend bevorzugt von Kindern gerne zum Spielen verwendet.Toy dolls are known in the art in a variety of designs and are suitably preferred preferably used by children for playing.

Dabei ist es weiterhin bekannt, dass Kinder beispielsweise mit solchen Spielzeugpuppen bereits erfahrene Alltagssituationen aber auch fiktive Situationen nachspielen, hierbei jedoch die gespielten Situationen nur aus der Perspektive des vergleichsweise großen Kindes wahrnehmen, die Umgebung der Spielzeugpuppe im kleineren Bereich für die spielenden Kinder jedoch nicht erschlossen wird.It is also known that children play with such toy dolls already experienced everyday situations but also fictitious situations, but perceive the situations played only from the perspective of comparatively large child, the environment of the toy doll in the smaller area for the children playing, however, not developed becomes.

Spielzeugpuppen bieten darüber hinaus dem spielenden Nutzer, egal ob Kind oder Erwachsener, keine Möglichkeit, aus den Spielsituationen heraus Erfahrungen zu sammeln, da Rückmeldungen von Spielzeugpuppen jeglicher Art an den spielenden Nutzer regelmäßig nicht vorgesehen sind.Toy dolls also offer the gambling user, no matter whether child or adult, no way to gain experience from the game situations, as feedback from toy dolls of any kind to the gambling users are not regularly provided.

Zwar kennt der Stand der Technik auch Spielzeugpuppen mit einer darin befindlichen Elektronik, die sich jedoch regelmäßig darauf beschränkt, eine bestimmte Aktion immer wieder durchzuführen, wenn eine bestimmte äußere Einwirkung auf die Spielzeugpuppe stattgefunden hat, zum Beispiel eine Bewegung, wonach solche Spielzeugpuppen z.B. immer wieder ein bestimmtes Geräusch von sich geben. WO-A-0169829 offenbart ein Set umfassend eine Spielzeugpuppe und ein Empfangsgerät.Although the prior art also knows toy dolls with electronics therein, which is regularly limited to performing a certain action again and again when a certain external impact on the toy doll has taken place, for example one Movement, according to which such toy dolls, for example, always make a certain noise. WO-A-0169829 discloses a kit comprising a toy doll and a receiver.

Es ist somit eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Set umfassend wenigstens eine Spielzeugpuppe und ein Empfangsgerät bereit zu stellen, die die Möglichkeit für einen Nutzer erschließt, persönliche Erfahrungen zu sammeln oder zu lernen, aus Ereignissen, die auf den Körper der Spielzeugpuppe einwirken. Einwirkende Ereignisse im Sinne der Erfindung sind dabei nicht nur solche, die mechanisch, insbesondere durch Kontakt auf die Puppe wirken, sondern auch Einwirkungen nicht physischer Art, wie z.B. durch Geräusche oder Licht.It is thus an object of the invention to provide a kit comprising at least a toy doll and a receiver which provides the opportunity for a user to gain or learn personal experiences from events acting on the body of the toy doll. Acting events within the meaning of the invention are not only those that act mechanically, in particular by contact with the doll, but also non-physical effects, such. through noises or light.

Insbesondere soll auch ein Set umfassend wenigstens eine Spielzeugpuppe und ein Empfangsgerät geschaffen werden, die die Möglichkeit bereitstellt, die Umgebung der Puppe aus der Sphäre einer Spielzeugpuppe für den Nutzer der Spielzeugpuppe wahrnehmbar zu machen, insbesondere etwa so, als wäre der spielende Nutzer selbst anstelle der Spielzeugpuppe in das Spielgeschehen eingebunden.In particular, a set comprising at least one toy doll and a receiver is also to be provided, which makes it possible to make the environment of the doll from the sphere of a toy doll perceptible to the user of the toy doll, in particular as if the playing user were himself instead of the user Toy doll involved in the game.

Weiterhin ist es eine Aufgabe, ein Set umfassend wenigstens eine Spielzeugpuppe und ein Empfangsgerät bereit zu stellen, mit der die Möglichkeit besteht, die Neugierde spielender Nutzer hinsichtlich der Auswirkung von Ereignissen zu bedienen, die ein Nutzer am eigenen Körper ggf. nicht erfahren möchte, z.B. Stürze oder das Aufsuchen von Orten an denen ein Nutzer sich nicht selbst aufhalten möchte oder aufgrund seiner Größe praktisch auch nicht aufhalten kann.Furthermore, it is an object to provide a set comprising at least one toy doll and a receiving device with which it is possible to serve the curiosity of gambling users regarding the effect of events that a user may not want to experience on their own body, eg Falls or looking for places where a user does not want to stop himself or because of his size practically can not stop.

Die vorgenannten Aufgaben werden gelöst durch ein Set gemäß Anspruch 1.The above objects are achieved by a set according to claim 1.

Der wesentliche Kerngedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Spielzeugpuppe der grundsätzlich im Stand der Technik bekannten Art mit einer Sensorik umfassend wenigstens einen Sensor auszustatten, und mit wenigstens einem solchen Sensor Messwerte oder sonstige Daten des wenigstens einen Sensors als Daten aus der Spielsphäre der Spielzeugpuppe während eines Spiels mit einem Nutzer zu erfassen und diese Daten für den Nutzer zugänglich zu machen, beispielsweise dadurch, dass in einer ersten Ausbildung der Erfindung die Daten abgespeichert werden zum späteren Abruf und zur Nutzung durch den spielenden Nutzer oder in einer anderen zweiten Ausbildung ggf. sogar unmittelbar während des Spiels mit der Puppe an den Nutzer zur Verfügung gestellt werden, um mittels der Daten und daraus resultierende Aktionen über ein Empfangsgerät den Nutzer in das Spiel und insbesondere in die Sphäre der Spielzeugpuppe einzubinden.The essential core idea of the invention is to equip a toy doll of the type generally known in the prior art with a sensor comprising at least one sensor, and with at least one such sensor measurements or other data of the at least one sensor as data from the play sphere of the toy doll during a Capture game with a user and make this data accessible to the user, for example, the fact that in a first embodiment of the invention, the data is stored for later retrieval and use by the gambling user or in another second training, if necessary, even directly be made available to the user during the game with the doll to integrate the user in the game and in particular in the sphere of the toy doll by means of the data and resulting actions via a receiver.

Es besteht somit erfindungsgemäß die Möglichkeit für einen spielenden Nutzer mit einer Spielzeugpuppe und mit dem wenigstens einen daran angeordneten Sensor bzw. bevorzugt eine Vielzahl von Sensoren Spielsituationen messtechnisch zu erfassen und durch die Nutzung der Daten entweder unmittelbar in die Spielsituation eingebunden zu werden oder zumindest durch nachträgliche Nutzung oder Auswertung der Daten aus den Spielsituationen zu lernen.Thus, according to the invention, there is the possibility for a gaming user with a toy doll and with the at least one sensor arranged thereon or preferably a multiplicity of sensors to capture game situations by means of the use of the data either directly in the game situation or at least subsequently Use or evaluate the data to learn from the game situations.

In bevorzugter Ausführung sieht die Erfindung dabei vor, dass die Spielzeugpuppe eine Körpergröße gemessen vom Kopf bis zum Fuß aufweist, die kleiner ist als 25 cm, bevorzugt kleiner als 20 cm und bevorzugt weiterhin kleiner als 15 cm.In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides that the toy doll has a height measured from the head to the foot, which is smaller than 25 cm, preferably smaller than 20 cm and preferably still smaller than 15 cm.

Besonders durch diese geringen Größen wird sichergestellt, dass sich die Spielsphäre einer Spielzeugpuppe signifikant von derjenigen eines spielenden Nutzers unterscheidet. Dabei wird unter der Spielsphäre im Wesentlichen diejenige Umgebung und die Ereignisse verstanden, die auf die Spielzeugpuppe einwirken und von einem Menschen wahrgenommen würden, wenn der Mensch selbst so klein wie die Spielzeugpuppe wäre.These small sizes in particular ensure that the toy sphere of a toy doll differs significantly from that of a gambling user. Here, the sphere of play essentially means the environment and the events that act on the toy doll and would be perceived by a human if the human being himself were as small as the toy doll.

So kann eine Spielzeugpuppe der erfindungsgemäßen Art beispielsweise verwendet werden, um in Kombination mit anderen Spielzeugen genutzt zu werden beispielsweise dadurch, dass die Spielzeugpuppe in das andere Spielzeug hineingesetzt wird und sensorisch die Eindrücke erfasst, als wenn ein Mensch anstelle der Spielzeugpuppe in dem Spielzeug sitzen würde.For example, a toy doll of the type according to the invention may be used to be used in combination with other toys, for example by inserting the toy doll into the other toy and sensing sensory impressions as if a human were sitting in the toy instead of the toy doll ,

Eine beispielhafte Anwendung kann zum Beispiel darin gesehen werden, dass eine Spielzeugpuppe dieser benannten Art in ein ferngelenktes Spielzeugauto hineingesetzt wird, welches von einem spielenden Benutzer per Fernbedienung gesteuert wird.An example application may be seen, for example, as putting a toy doll of this named type into a remotely controlled toy car controlled remotely by a playing user.

Hier kann die Spielzeugpuppe aufgrund ihrer sensorischen Ausgestaltung Eindrücke aus der Umgebung erfassen und speichern und/oder an ein Empfangsgerät des Nutzers übertragen, um diese Eindrücke messtechnisch zur Verfügung zu stellen und hieraus zu lernen oder in das Spielgeschehen eingebunden zu werden.Here, the toy doll due to their sensory design can capture and store impressions from the environment and / or transmitted to a receiver of the user to provide these impressions metrologically available and learn from this or to be involved in the game.

Die Erfindung kann vorsehen, die Spielzeugpuppe insbesondere zur robusten Ausgestaltung mit einem inneren Skelettelement auszustatten, bevorzugt ein metallisches Skelettelement, das in Kunststoff eingebettet ist, beispielsweise wobei weiterhin das Skelettelement aus biegbarem Draht und/oder aus gelenkig miteinander verbundenen z.B. metallischen Elementen ausgebildet ist.The invention may provide to equip the toy doll in particular for robust design with an inner skeletal element, preferably a metallic skeleton element which is embedded in plastic, for example, further wherein the skeleton element of bendable wire and / or articulated interconnected, for example, metallic elements is formed.

So besteht hierdurch die Möglichkeit, die Spielzeugpuppe hinsichtlich der Körperhaltung an im Prinzip jede gewünschte Spielsituation anzupassen und gleichzeitig sicherzustellen, dass die Spielzeugpuppe selbst bei großen Krafteinwirkungen keinen mechanischen Schaden erfährt, wie dies bei ansonsten üblichen Spielzeugpuppen der Fall wäre.Thus, there is the possibility of the toy doll in terms of posture to adapt to any desired game situation in principle, while ensuring that the toy doll undergoes no mechanical damage even with large force, as would be the case with otherwise conventional toy dolls.

Die Erfindung kann weiterhin vorsehen, dass der Körper der Spielzeugpuppe äußere Körperelemente, insbesondere aus Kunststoff umfasst, die flexibel miteinander verbunden sind.The invention may further provide that the body of the toy doll comprises outer body elements, in particular made of plastic, which are flexibly connected to one another.

Hierbei können die flexiblen Verbindungen der äußeren Körperelemente beispielsweise durch elastomere Verbindungselemente ausgebildet sein, wie beispielsweise Gummielemente, bevorzugt taillierte Gummielemente.Here, the flexible connections of the outer body elements may be formed for example by elastomeric connecting elements, such as rubber elements, preferably waisted rubber elements.

Diese Ausführung kann bevorzugterweise mit der vorhergenannten kombiniert werden, d. h. mit der Ausbildung eines inneren Skelettelementes, wobei bevorzugt biegbare Stellen des Drahtes oder Gelenkverbindungen, der gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Elemente des Skelettelementes, korrespondierend angeordnet sind zu den Orten, an denen die äußeren Körperelemente mit elastomeren Verbindungselementen verbunden sind.This embodiment may preferably be combined with the aforesaid, i. H. with the formation of an inner skeletal element, wherein preferably bendable points of the wire or articulated joints, the articulated elements of the skeleton element are arranged corresponding to the locations at which the outer body elements are connected to elastomeric connecting elements.

Die Erfindung kann weiterhin vorsehen, dass Hand- und/oder Fußelemente der Spielzeugpuppe lösbar an den Körperextremitäten der Spielzeugpuppe befestigbar sind.The invention may further provide that hand and / or foot elements of the toy doll are detachably attachable to the body extremities of the toy doll.

Hier kann die Erfindung vorsehen, ein Set anzubieten aus verschiedenen Hand- und/oder Fußelementen, wobei diese Hand- und/oder Fußelemente anwendungsbezogen auswählbar und an den Extremitäten befestigbar sind. Je nach Spielsituation kann demnach ein spielender Nutzer aus verschiedenen Hand- oder Fußelementen auswählen.Here, the invention can provide to offer a set of different hand and / or foot elements, these hand and / or foot elements are application-specific selectable and attachable to the extremities. Depending on the game situation, a gambling user can therefore choose from various hand or foot elements.

Diese Hand- oder Fußelemente können zum Beispiel ausgebildet sein als den menschlichen Händen und/oder Füßen nachgebildete Elemente, beispielsweise wenn die Spielzeugpuppe möglichst realitätsnah ausgebildet sein soll oder aber auch als Klammerelemente mit Klammerbacken, die aufeinander zu mit einer Schließkraft vorgespannt sind, um durch Öffnen der Klammerelemente entgegen der Schließkraft mit Händen oder Füßen an irgendwelchen anderen Elementen sicher befestigt zu werden und hierdurch beispielsweise eventuelle Bewegungen eines anderen Elementes, wie beispielsweise eines anderen Spielzeuges auch unmittelbar auf die Spielzeugpuppe zu übertragen und über die Sensorik erfassbar zu machen.These hand or foot elements may be formed, for example, as the human hands and / or feet imitated elements, for example, when the toy doll should be formed as realistic as possible or as staple elements with staple jaws which are biased toward each other with a closing force to open the clamp elements against the closing force with hands or feet to be securely attached to any other elements and thereby, for example, any movements of another element, such as another toy to transfer directly to the toy doll and make detectable via the sensor.

Hand- oder Fußelemente können auch als Saugnäpfe ausgebildet sein zur Befestigung an glatten Oberflächen oder als zwei einander gegenüberliegende starre Greifbacken, z.B. die einen Teilkreisquerschnitt umgrenzen, so dass solche Hand- und/oder Fußelemente zum Beispiel auf korrespondierende Elemente mit z.B. kreisförmigem Querschnitt aufgeclipst werden können.Hand or foot elements may also be designed as suction cups for attachment to smooth surfaces or as two opposed rigid gripping jaws, e.g. which delimit a partial circle cross-section, so that such hand and / or foot elements are, for example, connected to corresponding elements with e.g. circular cross-section can be clipped.

Neben diesen beispielhaft genannten Ausbildungen von Hand- und/oder Fußelementen sind beliebige andere Ausführungen denkbar, um die Puppe an unterschiedlichste Spielsituationen anpassen zu können.In addition to these exemplary embodiments of hand and / or foot elements, any other designs are conceivable in order to be able to adapt the doll to a wide variety of game situations.

Die Erfindung kann in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung vorsehen, dass der wenigstens eine Sensor an oder in der Spielzeugpuppe ausgebildet ist als ein Beschleunigungssensor, beispielsweise um lokal oder insgesamt auf den Körper wirkende Beschleunigungen mit der Spielzeugpuppe zu erfassen.The invention may provide in a preferred embodiment that the at least one sensor is formed on or in the toy doll as an acceleration sensor, for example, to detect local or total acting on the body accelerations with the toy doll.

Der wenigstens eine Sensor kann weiterhin ausgebildet sein als Kraft-/Drucksensor zur Erfassung von am Ort des Sensors auf den Körper wirkenden Kräften oder Drücken.The at least one sensor can furthermore be designed as a force / pressure sensor for detecting forces or pressures acting on the body at the location of the sensor.

Eine weiterhin bevorzugte Ausgestaltung kann es vorsehen, dass der wenigstens eine Sensor ausgebildet ist als ein Mikrophon zur Erfassung von aus der Umgebung des Körpers der Puppe stammenden Geräuschen oder in wiederum weiterer Ausführung als Kamera zur optischen Erfassung der Umgebung des Körpers der Spielzeugpuppe.A further preferred embodiment may provide that the at least one sensor is designed as a microphone for detecting sounds originating from the environment of the doll's body or in yet another embodiment as a camera for optically detecting the surroundings of the body of the toy doll.

Selbstverständlich besteht die Möglichkeit, die vorgenannten, jeweils genannten Sensoren auch miteinander kombiniert in einer Spielzeugpuppe vorzusehen, ggf. auch mehrfach.Of course, it is possible to provide the above-mentioned, in each case mentioned sensors also combined with each other in a toy doll, possibly even several times.

So kann eine Spielzeugpuppe beispielsweise auch mehrere Sensoren gleicher Art, also beispielsweise mehrere Beschleunigungssensoren umfassen, die an verschiedenen Orten im oder am Körper der Spielzeugpuppe angeordnet sind, um zu berücksichtigen und erfassbar zu machen, dass in Spielsituationen die sensorischen Eindrücke über den Körper der Puppe verteilt unterschiedlich sein können.For example, a toy doll may also include a plurality of sensors of the same type, such as a plurality of acceleration sensors disposed at different locations in or on the body of the toy doll, to allow for and detect the fact that in game situations the sensory impressions are distributed throughout the body of the doll can be different.

Bevorzugt ist es dabei vorgesehen, Sensoren zur Erfassung von Beschleunigung und/oder Kraft bzw. Druck an den Körperextremitäten der Spielzeugpuppe anzuordnen, wie beispielsweise in Unterarmen und/oder Oberarmen und/oder Unterschenkeln und/oder Oberschenkeln und/oder Bauch und/oder Brust- und/oder Rückenbereich und/oder Gesäßbereich, ggf. auch im Kopfbereich.It is preferably provided to arrange sensors for detecting acceleration and / or force or pressure on the body extremities of the toy doll, such as in forearms and / or upper arms and / or lower legs and / or thighs and / or abdomen and / or breast. and / or back area and / or buttocks area, possibly also in the head area.

Wenigstens ein als Kamera ausgebildeter Sensor kann insbesondere im Kopf einer solchen Spielzeugpuppe vorgesehen sein, ggf. in Verbindung mit einer Beleuchtungseinheit und/oder es kann wenigstens ein Mikrophon am Kopf, weiter bevorzugt an den Ohrpositionen angeordnet sein.At least one sensor designed as a camera can be provided in particular in the head of such a toy doll, possibly in conjunction with a lighting unit and / or at least one microphone can be arranged on the head, more preferably on the ear positions.

Im Wesentlichen können am Körper der Spielzeugpuppe für die einzelnen Sensoren solche Positionen gewählt werden, die die Position der entsprechenden Sinnesorgane beim Menschen entsprechen.Essentially, positions that correspond to the position of the corresponding sensory organs in humans can be selected on the body of the toy doll for the individual sensors.

Die Erfindung kann, wie eingangs bereits benannt, vorsehen, dass in einer möglichen Ausführung mittels eines Datenloggers die von dem wenigstens einen Sensor bevorzugt mehreren Sensoren stammenden Messwerte oder erfassten Daten intern in der Spielzeugpuppe gespeichert werden für einen späteren Abruf und späterer Nutzung.As already mentioned at the outset, the invention can provide that in a possible embodiment by means of a data logger, the measured values or acquired data originating from the at least one sensor preferably several sensors are internally stored in the toy doll for later retrieval and later use.

Beispielsweise kann hierfür eine solche Pumpe eine standardisierte Datenschnittstelle umfassen, mit der beispielsweise ein kabelgebundenes oder funkbasiertes Auslesen der Daten durchgeführt werden kann. Eine solche Datenschnittstelle kann zum Beispiel kabelgebunden nach dem USB-Standard oder funkgebunden über Bluetooth oder WLAN bzw. funkgebunden auch über Mobilfunk (z.B. GSM) ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere über eine Kabelschnittstelle kann auch ein Aufladen einer internen Energieversorgung stattfinden. Ebenso besteht die Möglichkeit, die Energieversorgung induktiv vorzunehmen.For example, for this purpose, such a pump may comprise a standardized data interface with which, for example, a wired or radio-based read-out of the data can be carried out. Such a data interface can be designed, for example, wired according to the USB standard or wirelessly via Bluetooth or WLAN or radio-bound via mobile radio (for example GSM). In particular via a cable interface can also take place charging an internal power supply. It is also possible to make the power supply inductive.

Ein Nutzer kann über eine solche standardisierte Datenschnittstelle die gespeicherten Daten der ggf. mehreren Sensoren der Spielzeugpuppe auslesen und beispielsweise auf seinem Computer grafisch visualisieren und hieraus Rückschlüsse ziehen. Weist z.B. eine Puppe eine Beschädigung nach dem Spiel auf, so können die Daten hiermit korreliert werden, z.B. eine messtechnisch erfasst Kraft an entsprechender Stelle.A user can read out the stored data of possibly several sensors of the toy doll via such a standardized data interface and, for example, graphically visualize it on his computer and draw conclusions therefrom. Indicates e.g. If a doll has damage after the game, the data can be correlated therewith, e.g. a metrologically detected force at the appropriate place.

Die Erfindung kann weiterhin vorsehen, dass eine Spielzeugpuppe der erfindungsgemäßen Art ein Ortungsmodul umfasst, zum Beispiel zur Ortung mittels globaler satellitengestützter Positionsdaten. Zum einen kann hier die Erfindung vorsehen, dass solche Positionsdaten ebenso wie die übrigen Sensordaten intern in einer Puppe abgespeichert werden, beispielsweise um die Orte, die eine Spielzeugpuppe eingenommen hat, nachträglich visualisieren zu können.The invention may further provide that a toy doll of the type according to the invention comprises a locating module, for example for locating by means of global satellite-based position data. On the one hand, the invention can provide that such position data as well as the other sensor data are stored internally in a doll, for example at to be able to subsequently visualize the places that a toy doll has taken.

Zum anderen kann es ggf. auch in Kombination mit der vorherigen Ausführung vorgesehen sein, die Positionsdaten mittels eines Funkmodules zu versenden, wie beispielsweise über ein Mobilfunknetzwerk. Hierfür kann eine Spielzeugpuppe eine Mobilfunkeinheit umfassen, die entweder automatisch die Positionsdaten versendet, oder nach Abfrage zum Beispiel Antriggerung von außen durch eine empfangene Aufforderungsnachricht. So besteht auch die Möglichkeit, eine Spielzeugpuppe, wenn sie während des Spieles verloren gegangen ist, zu orten und wiederzufinden.On the other hand, if necessary, it can also be provided in combination with the previous embodiment to send the position data by means of a radio module, for example via a mobile radio network. For this purpose, a toy doll may comprise a mobile radio unit which either automatically sends the position data, or after interrogation, for example, an external triggering by a received request message. So there is also the possibility of a toy doll, if it has been lost during the game to locate and find again.

Gemäß der Erfindung können auf der Spielzeugpuppe d. h. auf deren Körperoberfläche die in der Spielzeugpuppe angeordneten Sensoren optisch visualisiert sein.According to the invention, on the toy doll d. H. on the body surface of which arranged in the toy doll sensors are optically visualized.

Zum einen kann hierdurch der Nutzer in die Lage versetzt werden, sich ein Bild darüber zu machen, welche Kräfte oder sonstigen Ereignisse auf die Puppe an welchem spezifischen Ort eingewirkt haben, wenn er die erfassten Daten nach dem Spiel betrachtet, zum anderen kann aber auch der Nutzer besser in die Lage versetzt werden, eine Spielzeugpuppe anwendungsspezifisch so zu positionieren, dass eine bestmögliche Übertragung externer Ereignisse auf die in der Puppe angeordneten Sensoren ermöglicht ist.On the one hand, this can enable the user to get an idea of what forces or other events have affected the doll at which specific location, if he observes the captured data after the game, on the other hand, the Users are better placed to position a toy doll application-specific so that the best possible transmission of external events on the sensors arranged in the doll is possible.

Die Erfindung sieht es vor, eine Spielzeugpuppe der eingangs genannten Art in Kombination zu verwenden, mit einem Empfangsgerät mittels dem durch Funkkommunikation die von der Elektronik der Spielzeugpuppe versendeten Daten, die von dem wenigstens einem, bevorzugt mehreren Sensoren erfasst wurden, empfangbar sind, wobei das Empfangsgerät eingerichtet ist in Abhängigkeit der empfangenen Daten auf einen Nutzer des Empfangsgerätes mittels wenigstens einer im Empfangsgerät angeordneten Signalisierungseinheit einzuwirken.The invention provides for a toy doll of the type mentioned above to be used in combination with a receiving device by means of which the data sent by the electronics of the toy doll can be received by radio communication, which has been detected by the at least one, preferably a plurality of sensors Receiving device is set up depending on the received data to act on a user of the receiving device by means of at least one signaling unit arranged in the receiving device.

In bevorzugter Ausführung kann eine solche Einwirkung durch eine Signalisierungseinheit des Empfangsgerätes auf den Nutzer optisch und/oder akustisch und/oder taktil/haptisch sein.In a preferred embodiment, such an action can be optical and / or acoustic and / or tactile / haptic to the user by a signaling unit of the receiving device.

So können die Hauptsinne des Menschen aus dem Spiel heraus mit einer solchen Spielzeugpuppe angesprochen werden, dadurch, dass die Spielzeugpuppe Daten sensorisch mit seinen ggf. mehreren Sensoren erfasst, diese Daten an das Empfangsgerät übertragen werden und das Empfangsgerät unmittelbar diese Daten oder aus den empfangenen Daten berechnete andere Nutzdaten für die Einwirkung auf den Nutzer heranzieht, z.B. mit diesen Daten / Nutzdaten Aktoren ansteuert.Thus, the main senses of the person can be addressed out of the game with such a toy doll, characterized in that the toy doll data sensory detected with its possibly multiple sensors, this data is transmitted to the receiving device and the receiving device directly this data or from the received data calculated other user data for the impact on the user uses, eg activates actuators with these data / user data.

In einer möglichen Anwendung kann beispielsweise das Empfangsgerät ausgebildet sein als eine Bildschirmeinheit, zum Beispiel in der Art einer Brille mit wenigstens einem Bildschirm bevorzugt zwei Bildschirmen zur Erzeugung einer visuellen Darbietung der Daten unmittelbar oder in Abhängigkeit der Daten von wenigstens einer Kamera, die als Sensor in der Spielzeugpuppe angeordnet ist, beispielsweise in deren Kopf.In one possible application, for example, the receiving device may be configured as a screen unit, for example in the manner of a pair of glasses with at least one screen preferably two screens for generating a visual presentation of the data directly or depending on the data from at least one camera, which serves as a sensor in the toy doll is arranged, for example, in the head.

So besteht die Möglichkeit, die visuellen Eindrücke, die die Puppe während des Spieles mit einer solchen Kamera erfasst, unmittelbar an den spielenden Nutzer zu übertragen, so dass der Nutzer sich in die Spielsphäre hineinversetzen kann und die Umgebung, in welcher er mit der Puppe spielt so wahrnimmt, als wäre er selbst an der Stelle der Puppe. Mit seiner Bildschirmeinheit sieht der Nutzer quasi durch die Augen der Puppe das Spielgeschehen.Thus, it is possible to transmit the visual impressions which the doll detects during the game with such a camera, directly to the gambling user, so that the user can put himself in the game sphere and the environment in which he plays with the doll perceives as if he himself was in the place of the doll. With its screen unit, the user sees the game almost through the eyes of the doll.

Das Empfangsgerät kann auch ausgebildet sein als eine Lautsprechereinheit beispielsweise als Kopfhörer oder Ohrstöpsel mit wenigstens einem bevorzugt zwei Lautsprechern zur Erzeugung einer akustischen Darbietung der Daten unmittelbar oder in Abhängigkeit der Daten von wenigstens einem Mikrophon der Spielzeugpuppe, welches beispielsweise im Kopf angeordnet ist.The receiving device may also be designed as a speaker unit, for example as headphones or earplugs with at least one preferred two speakers for generating an acoustic presentation of the data directly or in dependence on the data of at least one microphone of the toy doll, which is arranged for example in the head.

Auch hier besteht dementsprechend die Möglichkeit, zum Beispiel die Töne, die die Puppe unmittelbar am Ort des Spielens erfasst, an den Nutzer, insbesondere nach einer Verstärkung, zu übertragen.Accordingly, it is also possible here to transmit to the user, in particular after amplification, for example, the sounds which the doll detects directly at the point of play.

Auch kann es vorgesehen sein, aus an dem Ort des Spielens mit der Puppe erfassten Geräusche oder Tönen bzw. den diese repräsentierenden Daten, eine Ton- oder Geräuschkulisse zu simulieren, insbesondere die für die Spielsituation charakteristisch ist.It may also be provided to simulate a sound or sound background from sounds or sounds recorded at the place of playing with the doll or the data representing them, in particular that which is characteristic of the game situation.

Das kann bedeuten, dass nicht 1:1 oder nach einer bloßen Verstärkung die am Ort des Spiels mit der Puppe erfassten Töne an den Nutzer signalisiert werden, sondern gänzlichst andere Geräusche oder Töne, die in Abhängigkeit der Daten von den erfassten Tönen und Geräuschen berechnet werden.This may mean that the sounds recorded at the point of play with the puppet are not signaled to the user 1: 1 or after a mere amplification, but rather entirely other sounds or sounds which are calculated as a function of the data from the detected sounds and noises ,

In einer beispielhaften Anwendung kann eine Puppe, die mit einem ferngesteuerten Fahrzeug mitfährt, das Geräusch des Elektro- oder Benzinmotors des gesteuerten Fahrzeugs erfassen und in Abhängigkeit hiervon dem spielenden Nutzer ein Motorgeräusch simulieren, welches einem echten Motor entspricht.In an exemplary application, a doll traveling with a remotely controlled vehicle may detect the sound of the electric or gasoline engine of the controlled vehicle and, in response thereto, simulate the playing user with an engine sound corresponding to a real engine.

Die Erfindung kann hier auch vorsehen, allgemein an den Nutzer gerichtete Signalisierungen zu simulieren, die aus Sensordaten eines oder mehrerer Sensoren berechnet werden.The invention can also provide for simulating general user-directed signaling, which is calculated from sensor data of one or more sensors.

Dabei können Signalisierungen und Sensordaten grundsätzlich auch artverschieden sein, d. h. beispielsweise können aus Beschleunigungsdaten zu signalisierende Töne oder Geräusche simuliert und dem Nutzer signalisiert werden.In this case, signaling and sensor data can also be fundamentally different, ie, for example, sounds or noises to be signaled can be simulated from acceleration data and signaled to the user.

So kann bei der vorherigen Anwendung zum Beispiel das Geräusch eines beschleunigenden Motors auch aus Beschleunigungsdaten eines Beschleunigungssensors heraus gebildet werden.For example, in the previous application, the noise of an accelerating motor may be formed out of acceleration data of an acceleration sensor.

Die Erfindung kann vorsehen, in einem Empfangsgerät auch die vorgenannte Bildschirmeinheit oder Lautsprechereinheit kombiniert anzuordnen. Ein solches Empfangsgerät kann demnach in der Art eines Helmes ausgestaltet sein.The invention may provide for arranging in a receiver also the aforementioned screen unit or speaker unit in combination. Such a receiving device can therefore be designed in the manner of a helmet.

Das erfindungsgemäßes Empfangsgerät ist ausgebildet durch oder in ein am Körper eines Nutzers tragbares Kleidungsstück, wie beispielsweise ein Shirt, eine Jacke, eine Hose oder ein Anzug.The inventive receiving device is formed by or in a wearable on the body of a user garment, such as a shirt, a jacket, pants or a suit.

Ein solches tragbares Kleidungsstück kann zusätzlich zu einer Empfangseinheit für die Daten erfindungsgemäß wenigstens einen Aktor umfassen, wie beispielsweise einen Vibrationsaktor, wobei der Aktor vorgesehen ist zur Erzeugung einer fühlbaren Einwirkung auf den Nutzer und Träger des Kleidungsstückes in Abhängigkeit der Daten von wenigstens einem Sensor, bevorzugt Beschleunigungs- und/oder Kraft- und/oder Drucksensor der Spielzeugpuppe.According to the invention, such a wearable garment may comprise, in addition to a receiving unit for the data, at least one actuator, such as a vibration actuator, the actor being intended to produce a tactile effect on the user and wearer of the garment depending on the data from at least one sensor Acceleration and / or force and / or pressure sensor of the toy doll.

Die mit einer Spielzeugpuppe und deren Sensoren erfassten Daten z.B. hinsichtlich Beschleunigung und/oder Kräfte und/oder Drücke können somit in einen für den Nutzer und Träger eines solchen Kleidungsstückes fühlbares Erlebnis umgesetzt werden.The data acquired with a toy doll and its sensors e.g. in terms of acceleration and / or forces and / or pressures can thus be implemented in an experience tangible to the user and wearer of such a garment.

Mit der vorgenannten beispielhaften Anwendung einer Spielzeugpuppe, die in einem ferngelenkten Fahrzeug mitfährt, kann so beispielsweise das Fahren auf einem unebenen holperigen Untergrund messtechnisch erfasst und an das getragene Kleidungsstück übertragen werden, so dass der Nutzer, der die Fernbedienung des Fahrzeuges bedient, eine fühlbare Rückmeldung durch die im Kleidungsstück angeordneten Aktoren insbesondere Vibrationsmotoren erhält. Hierdurch kann sich der Nutzer so fühlen, als würde er selbst in dem ferngelenkten Fahrzeug sitzen.With the aforementioned exemplary application of a toy doll traveling in a remote controlled vehicle, for example, driving on an uneven, bumpy ground can be metrologically detected and transmitted to the worn garment so that the user operating the remote control of the vehicle receives tactile feedback by the arranged in the garment actuators in particular vibration motors receives. This allows the user to feel as if he himself is sitting in the remote-controlled vehicle.

Die Erfindung kann auch vorsehen, mehrere Empfangsgeräte mit ein und derselben Spielzeugpuppe zu koppeln, wie beispielsweise das vorgenannte Kleidungsstück und/oder eine Bildschirmeinheit bzw. Lautsprechereinheit. Es besteht somit die Möglichkeit, eine Vielzahl sensorisch erfasster Eindrücke aus der Sphäre der Spielzeugpuppe auf einen Nutzer mittels eines oder mehrerer Empfangsgeräte zu übertragen und so den Nutzer quasi in die Sphäre der Spielzeugpuppe zu überführen.The invention may also provide for coupling several receivers with one and the same toy doll, such as the aforementioned garment and / or a screen unit or loudspeaker unit. Thus, it is possible to transmit a multiplicity of sensory impressions from the sphere of the toy doll to a user by means of one or more receivers, thus transferring the user virtually into the sphere of the toy doll.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der nachfolgenden Figuren beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the following figures.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Spielzeugpuppe der eingangs genannten Art mit einem Körper, der hier einen zweiteiligen Torso aus Oberkörper und Hüftbereich umfasst, zweiteilige Arme und zweiteilige Beine sowie einen Kopf.The Fig. 1 shows a toy doll of the type mentioned above with a body which here comprises a two-part torso of the upper body and hip area, two-piece arms and two-part legs and a head.

Die einzelnen Körperelemente 1 der Spielzeugpuppe sind hier untereinander mit flexiblen Verbindungselementen 2 verbunden, die bevorzugt aus einem Elastomer ausgebildet sind.The individual body elements 1 of the toy doll are here connected to each other with flexible connecting elements 2, which are preferably formed from an elastomer.

Die flexiblen Verbindungselemente sind hier im Wesentlichen an denjenigen Positionen des Körpers der Puppe angeordnet, die auch einer im Wesentlichen anatomisch korrekten Gelenkposition am menschlichen Körper entsprechen.The flexible connecting elements are arranged here essentially at those positions of the body of the doll, which also correspond to a substantially anatomically correct joint position on the human body.

Die Hände 3, die hier als starre einander gegenüberliege Greifelemente ausgebildet sind und einen Teilkreisquerschnitt umfassen, können in bevorzugter Ausführung auswechselbar sein und gegen andere Handelemente ausgetauscht werden, die hier nicht dargestellt sind.The hands 3, which are designed here as rigid opposing gripping elements and comprise a partial circle cross-section, may be interchangeable in a preferred embodiment and exchanged for other hand elements, which are not shown here.

In gleicher Weise können auch die Fußelemente 4 ausgetauscht werden, um so die Puppe insgesamt an unterschiedliche Spielsituationen anpassen zu können, beispielsweise um die Spielzeugpuppe an anderen Gegenständen zu befestigen.In the same way, the foot elements 4 can be exchanged, so as to be able to adapt the doll as a whole to different situations of play, for example to fasten the toy doll to other objects.

Der Kopf 5 weist bei der hier dargestellten Ausführung eine Kamera 6 auf sowie eine Beleuchtungseinheit 7. Die Kamera 6 kann als übliche CCD-Kamera und die Beleuchtung 7 beispielsweise als LED-Leuchte ausgebildet sein. Die Kamera 6 bildet hier bei der dargestellten Spielzeugpuppe einen von möglichen mehreren Sensoren.The head 5 has in the embodiment shown here, a camera 6 and a lighting unit 7. The camera 6 may be formed as a conventional CCD camera and the lighting 7, for example as an LED light. The camera 6 forms one of possible several sensors here in the toy doll shown.

Die Erfindung kann hier vorsehen, dass das Objektiv der Kamera 6 sowie die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 7 am Kopf der Puppe so angeordnet sind, als würden diese beiden Elemente ein Augenpaar der Puppe ausbilden, hier mit unterschiedlicher Größe, was der Puppe ein ansprechendes ungewöhnliches Erscheinungsbild verleiht.The invention can provide here that the lens of the camera 6 and the lighting device 7 are arranged at the head of the doll as if these two elements form a pair of eyes of the doll, here with different size, which gives the doll a pleasing unusual appearance.

Die Puppe kann im Bereich 8, welcher dem Ohrbereich am Kopf entspricht, ein oder zwei gegenüberliegende Mikrophone aufweisen, um akustische Eindrücke aus der Umgebung der Puppe sensorisch zu erfassen.The doll can have one or two opposing microphones in the area 8, which corresponds to the ear area at the head, in order to detect sensory impressions of the surroundings of the doll.

Im Körper der Puppe können an verschiedenen Orten, beispielsweise in den Extremitäten und/oder dem Torso weitere Sensoren, beispielsweise Beschleunigungssensoren oder Kraft- bzw. Drucksensoren angeordnet sein. Diese Sensoren sind hier aufgrund der internen Anordnung im Körper in der Fig. 1 nicht visualisiert.In the body of the doll further sensors, for example acceleration sensors or force or pressure sensors can be arranged at different locations, for example in the extremities and / or the torso. These sensors are here due to the internal arrangement in the body in the Fig. 1 not visualized.

Die Erfindung kann vorsehen, dass sämtliche Daten, die von den Sensoren der vorbeschriebenen Art in der Puppe erfasst werden, mittels in der Puppe angeordneter Elektronik verarbeitet werden. Eine solche Elektronik kann beispielsweise einen Datenlogger umfassen, der die einzelnen Daten erfasst und speichert oder durch Funkkommunikation an ein zur Spielzeugpuppe externes Empfangsgerät übermittelt.The invention may provide that all data collected by the sensors of the type described above in the doll are processed by means of electronics arranged in the doll. Such electronics may include, for example, a data logger that captures the individual data and stores or transmits by radio communication to an external receiver to the toy doll.

Die Fig. 2 visualisiert schematisch den internen Aufbau einer Spielzeugpuppe, der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Art. Erkennbar ist es hier, dass die Spielzeugpuppe ein internes beispielsweise metallisches Skelett 9 aufweisen kann, wobei das Skelett zum Beispiel aus biegbarem Draht oder einzelnen Elementen ausgebildet sein kann, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind.The Fig. 2 visualizes schematically the internal structure of a toy doll, which in Fig. 1 It can be seen here that the toy doll may have an internal, for example, metallic skeleton 9, wherein the skeleton may for example be formed of flexible wire or individual elements which are hinged together.

Bevorzugt im Bereich des Torso ist eine Elektronik 10 angeordnet, mittels der von den einzelnen Sensoren 11 und der Kamera 6 stammende Daten erfasst und gespeichert oder per Funk an ein hier nicht gezeigtes Empfangsgerät übermittelt werden können. In dieser Darstellung sind die Hände 3 und Füße 4 der Spielzeugpuppe in der Art von Saugnäpfen ausgebildet.Preferably, in the region of the torso, an electronic system 10 is arranged, by means of which the data from the individual sensors 11 and the camera 6 data collected and stored or transmitted by radio to a not shown here receiving device. In this illustration, the hands 3 and feet 4 of the toy doll are formed in the manner of suction cups.

Die Spielzeugpuppe kann jegliche auch von der hier konkret dargestellten Erscheinung abweichende visuelle Erscheinung aufweisen und von einem spielenden Nutzer in üblicher Art und Weise zum Spielen benutzt werden, erschließt jedoch gegenüber üblichen Puppen viele weitere Anwendungsfälle und Möglichkeiten aus den sensorisch erfassten Daten der Puppe während des Spiels zu lernen oder spielend in die Sphäre der Puppe einzutauchen und stärker in das Spielgeschehen eingebunden zu werden.However, the toy doll may have any visual appearance other than the one shown concretely here, and may be used by a gambling user to play in a conventional manner, but opens many more use cases and possibilities from the sensory data of the doll during play compared to conventional dolls to learn or play into the sphere of the doll and to become more involved in the game.

Dies visualisiert die Fig. 3 anhand eines speziellen Beispiels, bei der ein Nutzer 10 mittels einer Fernbedienung 11 ein funkferngesteuertes Auto 12 steuert. In das funkferngesteuerte Auto 12 wurde zunächst eine erfindungsgemäße Puppe hineingesetzt, wobei die Puppe aufgrund ihrer Flexibilität und/oder Gelenkigkeit die Sitzposition eines Fahrers einnimmt im Auto, so als würde ein Mensch selbst im Auto sitzen und dieses steuern.This visualizes the Fig. 3 with reference to a specific example in which a user 10 controls a radio-controlled car 12 by means of a remote control 11. In the radio-controlled car 12, a doll according to the invention was first inserted, the doll due to its flexibility and / or flexibility occupying a driver's seating position in the car, as if a person would sit in the car and control this.

Durch eine Vielzahl von Sensoren, wie hier beispielsweise zumindest von Beschleunigungs- und/oder Kraft- bzw. Drucksensoren, können äußere Ereignisse, die auf das ferngesteuerte Auto bzw. die darin sitzende Puppe einwirken, sensorisch erfasst, in Daten gewandelt werden und diese Daten per Funk an ein Empfangsgerät des Nutzers 10 übertragen werden.By a plurality of sensors, such as here at least of acceleration and / or force or pressure sensors, external Events which act on the remote-controlled car or the doll sitting therein are sensory detected, converted into data and these data are transmitted by radio to a receiving device of the user 10.

Hier ist das Empfangsgerät als ein Kleidungsstück ausgebildet, im Wesentlichen als ein Anzug, den der Nutzer 10 trägt. Dieser Anzug umfasst an mehreren Stellen in den Anzug eingebettete Aktoren, die beispielsweise im Bereich der Extremitäten und hier insbesondere den Gelenkbereiche angeordnet sind, wobei diese Aktoren 13 zum Beispiel als Vibrationsaktoren ausgebildet sein können.Here, the receiving device is formed as a garment, essentially as a suit worn by the user 10. This suit comprises actuators embedded in the suit at several points, which are arranged, for example, in the region of the extremities and in particular the joint regions, these actuators 13 being able to be designed, for example, as vibration actuators.

Diese Vibrationsaktoren können demnach Vibrationen abgeben in Abhängigkeit der von der Puppe empfangenen Daten, so dass für den Nutzer 10 nachgebildet wird, wie das Auto über eine holprige Oberfläche hinwegfährt und hierdurch Stöße auf die Puppe übertragen werden, die durch die Beschleunigungs- und/oder Drucksensoren messtechnisch erfasst und durch die Aktoren 13 in dem als Kleidungsstück ausgebildeten Empfangsgerät signalisiert werden.Accordingly, these vibration actuators can emit vibrations depending on the data received from the doll, thus simulating for the user 10 how the car passes over a bumpy surface and thereby transfers impacts to the doll caused by the acceleration and / or pressure sensors metrologically detected and signaled by the actuators 13 in the device designed as a garment receiving device.

Der Nutzer 10 hat somit unmittelbar einen fühlbaren Eindruck gewonnen, der aus der Sphäre der Spielzeugpuppe in dem fahrenden Auto stammt, so dass der Nutzer stärker in das Spielgeschehen eingebunden ist.The user 10 has thus immediately gained a tactile impression that comes from the sphere of the toy doll in the moving car, so that the user is more involved in the game.

Nicht dargestellt, jedoch vorgesehen sein kann es, dass die Puppe hier, wie es zur Fig. 1 erläutert ist, auch eine Kamera 6 umfasst und sodann die Möglichkeit erschließt, dem Nutzer 10 durch Tragen einer Visualisierungsbrille auch die visuell wahrnehmbare Umgebung aus der Sphäre der Puppe darzustellen.Not shown, however, it may be provided that the doll here, as it is for Fig. 1 is explained, also includes a camera 6 and then opens up the possibility of the user 10 by wearing a visualization goggles also represent the visually perceptible environment from the sphere of the doll.

Fig. 3 visualisiert lediglich eine die Erfindung nicht beschränkende Anwendung, bei welcher eine Datenübertragung der Daten zwischen Puppe und Empfangsgerät zur Einbindung des Nutzers in das Spiel vorgesehen ist. Gemäß einer möglichen Ausführung der Erfindung kann es auch lediglich vorgesehen sein, die Messdaten, welche in der Puppe mittels darin angeordneten Elektronik erfasst werden, in der Puppe zu speichern für einen späteren Abruf, um diese Daten beispielsweise zu visualisieren. Fig. 3 merely visualizes an application which does not limit the invention, in which a data transmission of the data between doll and receiver is provided for the integration of the user into the game. According to a possible embodiment of the invention, it may also merely be provided to store the measurement data, which are recorded in the doll by means of electronics arranged therein, in the doll for a later retrieval in order, for example, to visualize this data.
