Abstract
An electronic toy gun for data and audible sound/voice communication. Audible sound/voice may be communicated over an infrared beam or a radio frequency signal while data is communication over an infrared beam. The toy laser tag gun includes an IR receiver, an IR transmitter, a speaker, and a microphone 210. The IR receiver receives an incoming IR beam. The IR transmitter 206 generates an IR output beam. A pair of toy laser tag guns form an IR communication system with one or more RF and/or IR communication channels. Simplex and full duplex IR communication may be provided over one or more IR communication channels.
