Abstract:
A system and subsystems include a server for determining the identity of a media program being received which will provide stimuli to an interactive figure. The system, and the subsystem as well as programmed media which, when executed on a processor, will operate the interactive figure, the system, and subsystems. A master library of sound patterns, preferably housed in a server, provides a reference for a recognition routine to identify, e. g. , a particular television show. A control signal library stores commands each corresponding to a distinctive value. The commands initiate actions, e. g. , motion, speech, or other response, by operating means in the interactive figure. The server may “push,” or transmit information to a user computer which transmits to and which may receive intelligence from the interactive figure.
