Abstract
An interactive book reading system () responsive to a human finger presence. The system () includes a radio frequency (RF) scanning circuit (), a control circuit (), a memory () and an audible output device (). The RF scanning circuit () is configured to detect the presence of the human finger when the finger enters an RF field generated by the RF scanning circuit (). The control circuit () and the memory () are in communication with the RF scanning circuit (). The memory () stores a plurality of audible messages. The audible output device () is also in communication with the control circuit (). The audible output device () outputs at least one of the audible messages based on an analysis of the RF field performed by the control circuit () when the finger enters the RF field.
