    Abstract: A toy construction system comprising a plurality of function construction elements, wherein each function construction element comprises a function device adapted to perform a controllable function, and a tag construction element mechanically connectable to at least a first function construction element of the plurality of function construction elements and configured for data communication between the tag construction element and the first function construction element, wherein, responsive to data received from the tag construction element, the function device of the first function construction element is configured to perform the controllable function. The tag construction element is configured for data communication with the first function construction element when the tag construction element is mechanically connected to the first function construction element, and the tag construction element stores one or more of a tag identifier, data identifying an operational mode, an identifier identifying a behavioural pattern, and a sound file. Each of the plurality of function construction elements comprises coupling members configured for releasably interconnecting the function construction elements with each other.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of providing input to an electronic unit comprising a touch-sensitive surface that is configured for registering application of touch by a flexible unit and a toy comprising an electronic unit comprising a touch-sensitive surface and a structure; the structure configured from a material that cannot be registered by the touch-sensitive surface, and it comprises, either at the periphery or within the periphery, at least one marked position. One or more flexible units that comprise(s) material that can be registered by the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the one or more flexible units extend(s) past the top side of the structure and to the bottom side of the structure, to the effect that the registration of a flexible unit is conditioned by the configuration of the at least one marked position.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of creating a virtual game environment. The method comprises: selecting one or more physical objects according to pre-determined physical properties; providing a physical model of the game environment/scene using the selected physical objects; scanning the physical model to obtain a digital three dimensional representation of the physical model including information on the pre-determined physical properties; converting the digital three-dimensional representation of the physical model into a virtual toy construction model made up of virtual toy construction elements; and defining game-controlling elements in the virtual toy construction model using information on the pre-determined physical properties, thereby creating the virtual game environment/scene. The invention further relates to an interactive game system including an implementation of the method.

    Abstract: The shooting toy (1) includes a shooter (5) and a projectile (4) to be ejected from the shooter. A trigger element (6) is movably mounted in a shooter body (7) and has a pusher part (10) adapted to push the projectile (4) away from its loaded position. The shooter (5) is adapted to eject the projectile (4) along a centre axis of a cylindrical surface of the projectile (4). A pinching element (8) is adapted to prevent ejection in said direction of the projectile (4) in its loaded position in the shooter body (7) by means of frictional force acting between a pinching surface of the pinching element (8) and the cylindrical surface of the projectile (4). The pinching surface is adapted to guide the cylindrical surface of the projectile (4) in the ejection direction.
