Abstract

A system (10) for reprogramming an interactive doll (30) includes a personal computer (16) associated with the interactive doll (30) that accesses a dedicated web site (20) via a world wide web or internet (22) connection. When the doll (30) is connected to the personal computer (16) the doll (30) provides spoken instructions to the user describing how to select and download files (24). Files are selected from the web site (20) and downloaded through the personal computer (16) to the doll (30). A loader program in the personal computer (16) is executed by an internet browser program when a file of a designated format is downloaded (24). The files (24) are sequentially downloaded into volatile memory in the doll (30) with pointers identifying the beginning of the files (18). Playback of files (18) is determined by user activation of buttons on the doll (30).
