Benefits of technology
This patent is about creating a virtual world that connects with a toy figure and allows users to play and interact with it. The virtual world keeps track of the history of each toy figure and rewards users with special collectible aspects if they play enough virtual games with the figure. The special aspects can include building a virtual home for the figure or combining two different figures to create a new figure. This invention aims to strengthen the relationship between the user and the toy by making it more than just a toy.
Problems solved by technology
Generally speaking, user's interaction with a toy, such as a plush animal, was limited to physical interaction and imaginative thinking.
However, the user of the toy does not have an experience that is customized to his or her toy and there is no way to know for what the user does with his or her toy.
Combination of multiple gems together can also result in different events occurring.
