Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 27
Claim 1
Independent Claim 53 words
A doll comprising: a doll; sensing means arranged to sense at least one condition of sound, smoke, noise and temperature of the environment in the vicinity of said doll means responsive to said sensing means for forming a picture inside the doll and displaying said picture on an outside surface of the doll.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 53 words
A doll comprising: a doll; sensing means arranged to sense at least one condition of sound, smoke, noise and temperature of the environment in the vicinity of said doll means responsive to said sensing means for forming a picture inside the doll and displaying said picture on an outside surface of the doll.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means is formed so that it senses a temperature which exceeds a predetermined level, said means forming said pictures in response to sensing of said temperature by said sensing means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means is formed so that it senses smoke in the environment, said means forming said pictures in response to sensing of smoke by said sensing means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means is formed so that it senses sound which exceeds a predetermined level, said means forming said pictures in response to sensing of said sound by said sensing means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising further means arranged to produce a sound of crying in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 39 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising additional means arranged to form an image of a butterfly in a stomach area of the doll in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 39 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising supplemental means arranged to form an image of a frog in a throat area of the doll in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 45 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further including means for turning off said sensing means; comprising an element formed so that when it is placed near said pictures forming means said pictures forming means forms said pictures of the expanding and contracting heart.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 38 words
A doll element as defined in claim 1; and further including means for adjusting a sensitivity of said sensing means so as to change a level of said condition, which causes said sensing means to form said pictures.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 71 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means includes a plurality of sensors each sensing different conditions of the environment and connected with said pictures forming means so that the latter forms said pictures in response to sensing said conditions by said sensors; and further comprising means for turning off at least one said sensors so that the respective condition is not sensed by said turned off sensor.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 44 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means includes a plurality of sensors sensing different conditions of environment and connected with said pictures forming means so that the latter form said pictures in response to sensing said conditions by said sensors.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 65 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising further means arranged to produce a sound of crying in response to sensing of said one condition; a movement sensor arranged to sense a rocking of said doll and connected with said further means to cause the further means to stop production of sound in response to sensing of the rocking of said doll element.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 41 words
A doll as defined in claim 12; and further comprising delay means connected with said further means to produce a sound of crying and to maintain the sound of crying for a predetermine time when a user stops rocking said doll.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 135 words
A doll as defined in claim 12, wherein said movement sensor includes at least two members, and a circuit connected therewith, one of said members being fixedly connected with said doll, while the other of said members is connected with said doll to move from a first position to a second position in response to rocking of the doll, said circuit being closed to cause the further means to produce said sound of crying, when said doll element is rocked and said other member moves away from said one member and said circuit is opened so that the production of the sound of crying by said further means is stopped when the moveable member is in its second position and said circuit being opened to prohibit said further means from producing said sound of crying.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 75 words
A doll as defined in claim 12, wherein said movement sensor includes a circuit and a current conductive moveable member arranged so that when said doll element is not rocked said moveable member does not close said circuit and said further means produces said sound of crying, and wherein when said doll element is rocked said moveable member moves and closes said circuit so that the further means causes production of the sound of crying.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 37 words
A doll element as defined in claim 12; and further comprising stopping means connected with said further means when a user stops rocking said doll element to weaken the sound of crying gradually until it completely diappears.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 69 words
A doll element as defined in claim 1; and further comprising means for adjusting a level of sensitivity of said sensing means and including a movable metal adjusting member whose movement changes the sensitivity of said sensing means and which is located inside the doll, and a magnetic member displaceable by a user outside the doll so as to move said metal adjusting member magnetically through a doll's wall.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 18 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein the picture is that of an expanding and contracting heart.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim 43 words
A doll as defined in claim 18, wherein said pictures forming means includes a display means located inside said doll so that said pictures of said expanding and contracting heart is formed on said display and visible through said doll element from outside.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim 35 words
A doll as defined in claim 18; and further comprising sound generating means arranged so that it generates sounds imitating a heart beat in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim 37 words
A doll defined in claim 18; and further comprising modifying means arranged to cause said picture forming means to increase an image of a heart beat rate caused by the picture of the expanding and contracting heart.
Claim 23
Dependent Claim 31 words
A doll as defined in claim 18; and further comprising delay means maintaining said pictures of said expanding and contracting heart only during a certain time, after which said image disappears.
Claim 24
Dependent Claim 21 words
A doll as defined in claim 18, wherein the picture of the heart is in a chest area of the doll.
Claim 25
Dependent Claim 21 words
