Abstract

An interactive toy comprises a toy housing and, accommodated in said toy housing: a function device for performing user-perceptible, controllable functions; a control circuit for controlling the function device; a rechargeable power source for providing operating power to the function device and the control circuit; and a charging circuit for contactless receipt of electrical energy and for charging the rechargeable power source when the interactive toy is positioned in a charging zone of a contactless charging device. The control circuit is configured to: receive a primary signal indicative of an interaction stimulus; receive a secondary signal indicative of a position of the interactive toy with respect to the charging zone; and, responsive to the primary signal, control the function device to perform a user-perceptible function, wherein the user-perceptible function is selected based on the secondary signal. An interactive toy system comprises an interactive toy and a contactless charging device defining one or more charging zones. Methods of controlling the interactive toy and the interactive toy system are provided.
