A toy includes a toy proper and accessories. The toy proper includes a processing unit having a microprocessor or a microcontroller incorporated therein. An autonomous electrical supply supplies the processing unit with electrical energy. An assembly of at least one of a sensor and an actuator connected to the processing unit carries out at least one type of function. An inductive coupler is connected to the processing unit. The accessories associated with the toy proper each include at least one inductive label for interacting electromagnetically with the inductive coupler so that a current of defined frequency flows through said at least one inductive coupler connected to said at least one processing unit and said inductive coupler exchanges with said inductive labels binary data corresponding to phase or amplitude states of the frequency modulation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A toy comprising a toy proper and a plurality of accessories, comprising: at least one processing unit comprising at least one of a microprocessor and a microcontroller incorporated into the toy proper; an autonomous electrical supply for supplying said at least one processing unit with electrical energy; an assembly of at least one of a sensor and an actuator connected to interfaces integrated into said at least one processing unit for carrying out at least one type of function; at least one inductive coupler connected to said at least one processing unit; and wherein each of the plurality of accessories comprises at least one inductive label for interacting electromagnetically with said inductive coupler so that a current of defined frequency flows through said at least one inductive coupler connected to said at least one processing unit and said at least one inductive coupler exchanges with said at least one inductive label binary data corresponding to at least one of a phase and an amplitude state of the frequency modulation.
2.
The toy of claim 1 wherein said at least one processing unit is controlled by software which defines said at least one type of function in terms of behaviour and of interactions of the toy proper.
3.
The toy of claim 1 wherein the toy proper further comprises a sound transducer connected to said at least one processing unit.
4.
The toy of claim 1 wherein said at least one processing unit includes a device for multiple recognition and identification of information to allow at least one of a sequential and a simultaneous reading of said at least one inductive label disposed within a reading field of said at least one inductive coupler.
5.
The toy of claim 1 wherein said at least one processing unit includes a device for recognition and identification of information to allow at least on of binary and hexadecimal information to be written into said one or more inductive labels disposed within a reading field of said inductive coupler
