Abstract

An electronic device in the form of a toy (6) detects audible signals from a TV set (5). The toy (6) decodes identification data contained in high frequency data signals. The toy (6) is also connected to the Internet by a local router (9). Low bandwidth control data is embedded in the TV broadcast. This is received by the remote electronic toy (6) situated within hearing distance of the TV set (5). The data contains instructions for the toy (6) to look at a specified web location for more complex control and media data, which is delivered over a high bandwidth Internet connection. The toy (6) may interact with a TV program, allowing the broadcaster to control movement, sounds, etc in time with the TV broadcast. Other electronic devices may be controlled in a similar way.
