==APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18592797 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD

The abstract of the patent application describes an apparatus that includes a robotic device with interfaces for user interaction, a portable device with simulated interfaces, and circuitry for generating output actions based on user interactions.

* The apparatus includes a robotic device with multiple interfaces for user interaction.
* The interfaces consist of input interfaces to detect user input and output interfaces to perform output actions.
* Action generating circuitry is used to generate output actions based on action parameter data.
* A portable device is included with circuitry to simulate interfaces of the robotic device.
* Behaviour processing circuitry generates variations of action parameter data in response to user interactions with both devices.

Potential Applications:
- Interactive educational tools
- Entertainment devices

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An apparatus includes: a robotic device comprising a plurality of interfaces to allow interaction with a user, the interfaces comprising one or more input interfaces to detect input to the robotic device by the user and one or more output interfaces to perform output actions, and action generating circuitry to generate output actions to be executed by the one or more output interfaces in response to action parameter data; a portable device comprising circuitry to provide a simulated interface to simulate at least a subset of the plurality of interfaces of the robotic device; and behaviour processing circuitry to generate variations of the action parameter data in response to user interaction with the plurality of interfaces of the robotic device and in response to user interaction with the simulated interface of the portable device.
