Abstract

A moveable electronic toy includes two wheels, two motors configured for driving the two wheels, a deviation detecting module, an adjusting module and a driving module. The deviation detecting module is configured for detecting angular velocities of the two wheels to determine an angular velocity difference between the two wheels. The adjusting module is configured for generating an adjusting signal indicative of the angular velocity of which wheel to be adjusted and an adjustment value of the angular velocity according to the angular velocity difference. The driving module is configured for receiving the adjusting signal and driving a corresponding motor using a pulse-width modulator.

Claims (14)

1. A moveable electronic toy, comprising:

two wheels;

two motors configured for driving the two wheels;

a deviation detecting module configured for detecting angular velocities of the two wheels to determine an angular velocity difference between the two wheels;

an adjusting module configured for generating an adjusting signal indicative of the angular velocity of which wheel to be adjusted and an adjustment value of the angular velocity according to the angular velocity difference; and

a driving module configured for receiving the adjusting signal and driving a corresponding motor using a pulse-width modulator according to the adjusting signal, thereby adjusting the angular velocity of a corresponding wheel.

2. The moveable electronic toy of claim 1 , wherein the deviation detecting module comprises two angular velocity transducers to detect the angular velocities of the two wheels.

3. The moveable electronic toy of claim 1 , further comprising a switch module configured for controlling the adjusting module.

4. The moveable electronic toy of claim 3 , wherein the switch module is configured for controlling the adjusting module in response to a user input.

5. The moveable electronic toy of claim 1 , wherein the moveable electronic toy is a toy car.

6. A moving method of a moveable electronic toy, comprising:

detecting angular velocities of two wheels of the moveable electronic toy to determine an angular velocity difference between the two wheels;

generating an adjusting signal indicative of the angular velocity of which wheel needed to be adjusted and an adjustment value of the angular velocity according to the angular velocity difference; and

receiving the adjusting signal and driving a corresponding motor using a pulse-width modulator according to the adjusting signal, thereby adjusting the angular velocity of a corresponding wheel.
