- a REW (rewind) button is provided to provide the more advanced user the option of rewinding the substrate at any time.
- Shown in Figure 9 is a base unit featuring a touch screen which makes it possible to use the device as an audiovisual game board.
- the frame may ask the user a question to which he will reply by touching the correct portion of the frame. If the proper answer is given certain sounds will be produced by the device, otherwise, different sounds will be produced, perhaps urging the user to try again.
- FIG. 10 Another version of a base unit is shown in Figure 10. Here, additional buttons are provided. The user is then able to respond to questions or other prompts by pushing the appropriate one of these buttons. This option may be used as an alternative to, or in addition to, a touch screen.
- Shown in Figure 11 is a version of the base unit which is similar to that shown in Figure 8 but which is enhanced through the addition of a number of other activities to form a complete activity center. This version is intended for infants.
- FIG. 12 Another embodiment of the present invention intended for use by infants as part of an activity center is shown in Figure 12. Unlike the embodiment of Figure 11 , here no cartridges are employed. Rather, the substrate and the memory is permanently mounted and sealed in the activity center.
- the activity center includes an additional activity whereby the user can use a telephone dial to dial a specific item, for example, an animal such as a horse, cow, rabbit, dog, etc.
- a specific animal is dialed a signal is sent to the audiovisual device which causes the substrate to be moved to a suitable location and causes the sound producing mechanism to issue appropriate sounds.
- the telephone dial includes a number of dial stations, typically corresponding to the numerals 0 to 9.
- the dial features indications, such as pictures or drawings, which are associated with each of the dial stations.
- the dial is connected to the audiovisual device such that dialing the telephone dial to one of the activates the audiovisual device so as to present visual and audio information related to the associated indication. For example, dialing the cat will cause the audiovisual device to display a picture of a cat and to issue a number of meows.
