Abstract
An interactive toy comprising a toy housing and, contained within the toy housing: a function device for performing a user-perceptible controllable function; a control circuit for controlling the functional device; a rechargeable power source for providing operating power to the functional device and the control circuit; and a charging circuit for contactlessly receiving electrical energy and for charging the rechargeable power source when the interactive toy is located in a charging region of the contactless charging device. The control circuit is configured to: receiving a main signal indicative of an interactive stimulus; receiving an auxiliary signal indicative of a position of the interactive toy relative to the charging zone; and, in response to the primary signal, controlling the function device to perform a user-perceivable function, wherein the user-perceivable function is selected based on the secondary signal. An interactive toy system includes an interactive toy and a contactless charging device defining one or more charging zones. Methods of controlling interactive toys and interactive toy systems are provided.
