Therefore [0029] can obtain the various game modes that use with toy vehicle 210.For example, the user can be according to user's the preference selection mixture perfusion compartment 212 with one or more household liquids (for example water, fruit juice or soda).Described then chamber can be affixed on the toy vehicle chassis.The user can press down starter and measure the electrical conductivity that assembly is measured liquid mixture to impel then.Processor module can impel responding system to produce output mode then.
[0030] as mentioned above, in typical toy vehicle operating system, the toy output mode that toy vehicle or responding system 114 produce depends on the electrical conductivity of the liquid in the chamber 212.Therefore, typical toy vehicle will differently respond liquid or the liquid mixture with different conduction properties.Equally, toy vehicle can imitate given liquid or whether liquid mixture is suitable " fuel " that is used for toy vehicle.The user can attempt several different liquid mixtures so that find to produce the best " fuel " mixture of preferred output mode.
[0031] for example, belong to first conductivity range if be placed on the liquid in the chamber 212 or the electrical conductivity of liquid mixture, corresponding toy output mode comprises that loudspeaker 230 start to send the repetition sound of imitation automobile starter, and indicating selected liquid mixture is not suitable " fuel ".As another selection, belong to second conductivity range if be placed on the liquid in the chamber 212 or the electrical conductivity of liquid mixture, corresponding toy output mode comprises lamp 228 quick and repeated primings, the sound that loudspeaker 230 start to send the imitation engine start and to quicken under high speed, starting with on the ground with the high-speed mobile vehicle with driven unit 150, is " fuel " efficiently to indicate selected liquid mixture.
[0032] in typical toy vehicle, the performance level of toy vehicle increases along with the electrical conductivity that is included in liquid in the chamber 212 or liquid mixture.Following table is the example of six different toy output modes that can be produced by responding system 114, and described output mode is corresponding to six different conductivity ranges.(0) arrives high conductivity (5) to described conductivity range to represent not having electric conductivity with the 0-5 arbitrary number.
| Scope | The toy output mode |
| 0 | Lamp does not glisten." engine ignition 1 " sound sends three times and little pause is arranged.Motor keeps cutting out.Vehicle does not move. |
| 1 | Lamp dodges twice each second, continues a second." engine ignition 1 " sound will send at a concert pitch.Motor unexpected 100% starts, and repeats 8 times.The vehicle 1-2 foot that under unsteady motion, travels. |
| 2 | Lamp dodges 5 times each second, continues a second." engine ignition 1 " sound will send with medium pitch.Motor 50% starts.The vehicle 5-10 foot that travels. |
| 3 | Lamp dodges 10 times each second, continues a second." engine ignition 1 " sound will send at a French pitch.Motor 67% starts.The vehicle 12-17 foot that travels. |
| 4 | Lamp dodges 15 times each second, continues a second." engine ignition 2 " sound will send at a concert pitch.Motor 83% starts.The vehicle 17-22 foot that travels. |
| 5 | Lamp dodges 20 times each second, continues a second." engine ignition 2 " sound will send with medium pitch." tire zig zag brake sound " will send.Motor 100% starts.The vehicle 25-30 foot that travels. |
