Abstract
An Infant-Operable Remote Controlled Entertainment and Education Device and System is disclosed. Also disclosed is a system that includes a control device that is safe to be left with unsupervised infants. The system further includes a responder device that is in communication with the control device. The control device has a plurality of buttons or other touch-sensitive portions dispersed on its face, and each of these buttons has a unique shape or design displayed thereon. Correspondingly, the responder device includes a plurality of figures or members that have shapes or display designs that correspond to the buttons on the control device. In operation, touching or pressing one of the control buttons or touch-sensitive portions of the control device will cause one of the figures or members on the responder device to animate or otherwise agitate in response. In view of the fascination that infants have with remote control devices, it is expected that the link between pressing a control device button and receiving a response from the responder device will provide an educational experience to the infant.
