A toy construction system comprising a plurality of function construction elements, wherein each function construction element comprises a function device adapted to perform a controllable function, and a tag construction element mechanically connectable to at least a first function construction element of the plurality of function construction elements and configured for data communication between the tag construction element and the first function construction element, wherein, responsive to data received from the tag construction element, the function device of the first function construction element is configured to perform the controllable function. The tag construction element is configured for data communication with the first function construction element when the tag construction element is mechanically connected to the first function construction element, and the tag construction element stores one or more of a tag identifier, data identifying an operational mode, an identifier identifying a behavioural pattern, and a sound file. Each of the plurality of function construction elements comprises coupling members configured for releasably interconnecting the function construction elements with each other.

Toy construction system with function construction elements

An interactive modular construction element () for a modular construction system (), the interactive modular construction element () comprising a sensor () being responsive to a predetermined sensor input and adapted to output a sensor signal () corresponding to or representing the predetermined sensor input, a function element () adapted to perform at least one controllable function in response to a control signal (), and a control circuit () connected to the sensor () to receive the sensor signal () and connected to the function element () to provide the control signal (), wherein the control circuit () is adapted to provide the control signal () in response to the sensor signal () thereby controlling the function element () in response to the sensor signal (), wherein the interactive modular construction element () comprises an input part () and an output part (), where the input part () and the output part () are different from each other.

Interactive modular construction element and a modular construction system with interactive modular construction elements

A toy construction system comprising a plurality of interactive construction elements each comprising coupling members configured for releasably interconnecting the interactive construction elements with each other, the plurality of interactive construction elements comprising a plurality of function construction elements, and one or more input construction elements, each input construction element comprising a wireless transmitter for transmitting a control signal to at least a subset of the function construction elements; each function construction element comprising: a function device adapted to perform a controllable function; a wireless receiver for receiving the wireless control signal; and a control circuit connected to the wireless receiver and to the function device and adapted to control the controllable function responsive to the received control signal; wherein each interactive construction element comprises a user-operable selector allowing a user to select one of a predetermined set of group identifiers; and a group indicator being configured to output, responsive to a selected group identifier, an indication indicative of the selected group identifier, and wherein each function construction element is configured to selectively control the function device of said function construction element responsive to a control signal received from an input construction element having a selected group identifier matching a selected group identifier of the function construction element.
