3. The interactive monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein a second electronic unit of said activated plurality of electronic units corresponds to said light display assembly comprising a plurality of light units, wherein said plurality of light units are energized based on one of a plurality of pre-defined patterns.
4. The interactive monitoring system of claim 3 , wherein a third electronic unit of said activated plurality of electronic units corresponds to one or more audio output devices, wherein said one or more audio output devices are configured to render one of a plurality of pre-defined music files, wherein a fourth device of said activated plurality of electronic units corresponds to one or more audio input devices, wherein said one or more audio input devices are configured to receive voice input provided by said first user.
5. The interactive monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein said remote display device has a low battery indicator beeper which activates when battery level of said remote display device is less than a threshold power level.
6. The interactive monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein said communication network is a long distance or short distance wireless network.
7. The interactive monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein said first user is an infant, a toddler, a young child, or a user who needs continuous supervision, wherein said second user is a parent, a guardian, or a supervisor, wherein said object is a soft toy, or an article constantly engaged with said first user.
8. The interactive monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein said object further comprises a microprocessor configured to receive a voice input generated by said first user, retrieve a response signal from a memory unit based on said received voice input and render said response signal over an audio output device.
9. The interactive monitoring system of claim 8 , wherein said microprocessor is further configured to generate an alert notification for said remote display device based on one or more critical events.
10. The interactive monitoring system of claim 9 , wherein said microprocessor is further configured to deactivate said plurality of electronic units when said object and said remote display device are within a pre-defined proximity.
11. The interactive monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising a remote-control device configured to control said plurality of electronic units located on said object.
12. An interactive monitoring system for monitoring children, comprising:
a) an object including a body portion, a head portion, and arm portions, wherein said object is a soft toy, said object including a light display assembly located on said body portion of said object, said light display assembly including a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to light up in predefined patterns, wherein said object further includes a first microphone located on said body portion, said first microphone being located above said light display assembly, said object including a first set of speakers mounted on a top end of said head portion, said object further including a first set of volume controls located on one of said arm portions of said object, wherein said head portion further includes a camera mounted thereon;
