Abstract
A toy has a body in the form of a doll or a living being, an audio output to reproduce audio effects, a memory to provide audio data, a controller to control the reproduction of different audio effects based on the reading of the audio data, and a sensor for generating detection signals correlated with the proximity of an object to the toy. The controller is designed in such a way that a selection of the reproduced audio effects depends on an evaluation of the detection signals and of signals generated by a provided interface device that is connected through devices in the play accessories being fed to that controller, and/or being made available for access.
