Embodiment Construction

[0030] The invention provides a tracking system, which is suitable for tracking the infrared signal emitted by the toy car, so as to track the movement of the toy car and locate the toy car. In at least one embodiment, the tracking system is adapted to fire a projectile at the toy vehicle once the toy vehicle has been tracked and located.

[0031] Toy vehicles can take a number of different forms including, but not limited to, helicopters, airplanes, jeeps, cars, tanks, and trucks, among others that are readily conceivable. The toy car has an infrared emitter for emitting infrared signals. In at least one embodiment, the infrared signal is emitted at a modulation frequency of 38 kHz. The infrared signal includes a digital infrared pulse followed by a period of analog decay. The simulated attenuation characteristic of the emitted infrared signal can make the tracking system track the signal more precisely and accurately. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that whe...

Abstract

A system is provided comprising an automatic toy tracking system adapted to track an infrared signal emitted by a remotely controlled toy vehicle. The tracking system has a series of infrared receivers and is adapted to pivot and rotate in response to the relative intensity of the infrared signal received by each receiver. When the tracking system has positively ascertained the location of the infrared emitter, the tracking system can be adapted to fire at least one projectile at the toy vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of toys; more particularly, the present invention relates to tracking systems adapted to track the movement of remote controlled toy vehicles and launch toy projectiles thereto. Background technique [0002] Remote control toys are popular among children and can take a number of different forms. Toys that are remotely movable in a play area are well known in the art and include toy cars, trucks, tanks, trains and helicopters, among other types of toy vehicles. [0003] Additionally, toys are often configured to fire projectiles to simulate warfare and to increase the enjoyment of playing with the toy. Toys configured in this manner typically require the user to actively locate the intended target and launch the projectile in the direction of the intended target. [0004] However, there is a conspicuous lack of toy projectile launchers suitable for automatically tracking a remote-controlled vehicle and, once ...
