Embodiment Construction

[0036] Various aspects and embodiments of the toy building systems disclosed herein will be described with reference to toy building elements in the form of toy blocks. However, the invention is applicable to other forms of building elements used in building building sets.

[0037] In Fig. 1 is shown a toy building block with coupling studs on its upper surface and a cavity extending from the bottom into the block. The cavity has a central duct, and a coupling stud on another toy piece can be received in this cavity in a functional engagement, as described in US3005282. Figures 2 and 3 show another such prior art building block. This building block is shown in the remaining figures with coupling means in the form of mating studs and cavities of this known type. However, other types of coupling means can also be used. The coupling studs are arranged in a square planar grid, ie defining orthogonal directions along which the coupling studs are arranged sequentially. The arran...

Abstract

A toy building system comprising building elements with coupling means for releasably interconnecting building elements, the toy building system comprising function building elements with such coupling means and each having a function device adapted to perform a controllable function and an energy source for providing energy to the function device for performing the controllable function, each function building element comprising a light sensor for receiving visible light encoding a control signal; and a control circuit connected to the light sensor and to the function device and adapted to decode the received control signal and to control the controllable function responsive to the decoded control signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a toy building system comprising building elements having coupling means for releasably interconnecting the building elements. Background technique [0002] Such toy building systems have been known for decades. Simple building blocks have been supplemented with specialized building elements that have a specific appearance or have mechanical or electrical functions for enhanced play value. Such functions include, for example, motors, switches and lights, as well as programmable processors that receive input from sensors and can activate functional elements in response to received sensor inputs. [0003] There are self-contained functional building elements that have a functional device adapted to perform a preset function, an energy source for providing energy to the functional device to perform the function, and a trigger that triggers the functional device to perform the function in response to an external triggering event ...
