| 20090067291 | COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS USING ACOUSTIC SIGNALS - A method of communicating with an electronic device. The method includes providing an electronic device having an audible sound receiving and generating sub-system including a microphone, transmitting from a source at least one acoustic signal encoded with information, receiving said at least one acoustic signal by said microphone and determining a spatial position, distance or movement of the microphone relative to the source, responsive to the received at least one signal. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090264205 | INTERACTIVE TOYS - A plurality of individual toys, at least a first one of which generates acoustic signals and at least a second one of which receives acoustic signals. When the second toy receives acoustic signals from the first toy, it responds, for example, by generating a sound and/or controlling its motion. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the toys flock and/or form a procession of toys which follow a leader toy, for example a mother goose and a plurality of following and preferably quacking goslings. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100030838 | Method to use acoustic signals for computer communications - A method of communicating with an electronic device, comprising:

| 20100044441 | COLOR SENSING FOR A READER DEVICE AND THE LIKE - A reader device for identifying a color property in an area of interest and presenting content in response. The reader device comprises a light source unit for emitting a number of monochromatic lights having different wavelength bands toward the area of interest and a single photoelectric sensor for intercepting a reflection of the monochromatic lights from the area of interest, thereby providing the color property output and presenting the content according to the color property. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100104201 | READER DEVICE HAVING VARIOUS FUNCTIONALITIES - A reader device for identifying a label associated with a section of a printed publication and presenting first information adjusted for the section. The device comprises a sensing unit for reading a unique machine-readable representation of the first information from the label, a voice recognition unit for intercepting a voice message having a related audio signature associated with second information, a processing unit for identifying the first information according to the representation and the second information according to the related audio signature, and a presentation unit configured for presenting the first and second information. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20110009175 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION - The present invention relates to a method for using a toy for communicating with a client terminal. The method comprises encoding at least one interacting information as at least one flickering control instruction and using a toy element having a light emitting unit for emitting light according to the at least one flickering control instruction, thereby transmitting the interacting information to a client terminal. The client terminal is configured for capturing the emitted light using an image capturing device and decoding the at least one interacting information therefrom. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110027770 | READER DEVICES AND RELATED HOUSINGS AND ACCESSORIES AND METHODS OF USING SAME - A system for presenting multimedia content, comprising: a reader device; at least one of a reader device housing or reader device accessory removably attached to the reader device; and, at least one multimedia content enhanced object with at least one multimedia content indicator; wherein the reader device adapts its operation based on an identification of the at least one reader device housing or reader device accessory removably attached thereto. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110034251 | INTERACTIVE TOYS - A plurality of individual toys, at least a first one of which generates acoustic signals and at least a second one of which receives acoustic signals. When the second toy receives acoustic signals from the first toy, it responds, for example, by generating a sound and/or controlling its motion. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the toys flock and/or form a procession of toys which follow a leader toy, for example a mother goose and a plurality of following and preferably quacking goslings. | 02-10-2011 |
