Die Befestigungsvorrichtungen 2 sind derart ausgeführt, dass dem Anwender zahlreiche Befestigungsmöglichkeiten geboten werden. Zu diesen Möglichkeiten zählen die Befestigung an oder auf einer Kopfbedeckung Fig. 3a+b, an einem Handgriff Fig. 3c, an Hals- oder Körperumhänge-Ketten Fig. 3d, durch Klettverschlüsse z.B. am Oberarm oder an beliebigen Stellen der Bekleidung oder aber auch an Handtaschen oder sonstigen Gegenständen.The fastening devices 2 are designed such that the user numerous mounting options are offered. These options include attachment to or on a headgear Fig. 3a + b, on a handle Fig. 3c , on neck or body cape chains Fig. 3d , by Velcro closures eg on the upper arm or anywhere on the clothing or even on handbags or other objects.

Bei der mindestens einen Lichtquelle 3 kann es sich um eine Glühbirne, eine Leuchtdiode oder ähnliche Elemente handeln. Insbesondere ist auch die Verwendung eines LCD- oder Plasma-Monitors nebst erforderlicher Ansteuerung durch z.B. einen Kleinrechner vorgesehen.
Auch für die Lichtquelle 3 ist vorgesehen, dass sie zur Abgabe von Lichtblitzen geeignet ist.The at least one light source 3 may be a light bulb, a light-emitting diode or similar elements. In particular, the use of an LCD or plasma monitor in addition to required control by eg a small computer is provided.
Also for the light source 3 it is provided that it is suitable for emitting light flashes.

Die Ausbildung der Befestigungsvorrichtung 10 für die Farbfilterelemente erfolgt derart, dass Farbfilterelemente auf einfache Art und Weise aber dennoch sicher in die sen Befestigungsvorrichtungen 10 befestigt werden können. Bei diesen Farbfilterelementen handelt es sich vorzugsweise um dünne, flächige Elemente welche bei Beleuchtung durch die Lichtquellen 3 ein farbiges Licht mit hoher Intensität abgeben. Ausbildungen für derartige Befestigungsvorrichtungen 10 gehören in hinreichender Zahl zum Stand der Technik, so dass diesbezüglich keine weiteren Ausführungen erforderlich sind.The formation of the fastening device 10 for the color filter elements is such that color filter elements in a simple manner but still safe in the sen fastening devices 10 can be attached. These color filter elements are preferably thin, flat elements which emit a colored light with high intensity when illuminated by the light sources 3. Training for such fasteners 10 are in a sufficient number of the prior art, so that in this regard no further comments are required.

Bei der Energiequelle kann es sich um jedes geeignete Element aus dem bekannten Stand der Technik handeln. So ist z.B. die Anwendung von Batterien, Akkumulatoren, Solarzellen oder aber auch Handdynamos vorgesehen und sinnvoll.The energy source may be any suitable element known in the art. For example, e.g. the use of batteries, accumulators, solar cells or even hand dynamos provided and useful.

Bei dem Blitzlicht 5 handelt es sich um ein elektrisch betriebenes, mehrfach verwendbares Blitzlicht, wie es z.B. aus der Fotographie oder von so genannten Stroboskoplampen bekannt ist.The flash 5 is an electrically operated, reusable flashlight, e.g. from photography or so-called stroboscopic lamps is known.

Der Funktionsumfang der elektronischen Steuereinheit 9 und die in dieser Einheit enthaltenen bzw. die dieser Einheit zugeordneten Bausteine werden innerhalb der Beschreibung der Betriebsarten erläutert.The functional scope of the electronic control unit 9 and the components contained in this unit or associated with this unit are explained within the description of the operating modes.

Für die vorgestellte Vorrichtung sind mehrer Betriebsarten vorgesehen, welche nachfolgend beschrieben werden.For the presented device several modes are provided, which will be described below.

Manueller BetriebManual mode

In dieser Betriebsart benutzt der Anwender das über den Anschluss 7 mit der Vorrichtung verbundene manuelle Bedienelement 8 um anhand der Vorrichtung seinem Empfinden nach eigenem Gutdünken Ausdruck zu verleihen.In this mode of operation, the user uses the manual control element 8 connected to the device via the connection 7 to give expression to his feeling at his own discretion on the basis of the device.

So kann er z.B. dauerhaft oder zeitweise die Lichtquellen 3 aktivieren, welche insbesondere dann, wenn der Anwender Farbfilterelemente mit seinen Lieblingsfarben, z.B. den Farben seines Fußballvereins, in die Befestigungselemente 10 eingeführt hat, starkes emotionales Potenzial haben.So he can e.g. permanently or temporarily activate the light sources 3, which in particular when the user color filter elements with his favorite colors, e.g. the colors of his football club, into which fasteners introduced 10, have strong emotional potential.

Ebenfalls ist es dem Anwender möglich, durch das Blitzlicht 5 einen oder aber auch eine Vielzahl von Lichtblitzen abgeben zu lassen, was insbesondere bei Dunkelheit und beim Einsatz einer großen Anzahl von erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen einen überwältigenden Eindruck hervor ruft.It is also possible for the user to have one or a plurality of flashes of light emitted by the flashlight 5, which causes an overwhelming impression, especially in the dark and when using a large number of devices according to the invention.

Zusätzlich zu der Abgabe der oben dargestellten Lichtsignale hat der Anwender auch die Möglichkeit anhand des Lautsprechers 4 Tonsignale auszusenden. Bei diesen Tonsignalen kann es sich zunächst um Signale handeln, welche in digitaler und/oder analoger Form in oder auf Mitteln gespeichert sind, welche sich innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 und/oder der elektronischen Steuereinheit 9 befinden.In addition to the delivery of the light signals shown above, the user also has the option of using the loudspeaker 4 to emit sound signals. In these Sound signals may initially be signals which are stored in digital and / or analog form in or on means which are located within the housing 1 and / or the electronic control unit 9.

Bei diesen Mitteln kann es sich z.B. um digitale Speicherelemente für Sprache, Musik oder Gesang handeln.These agents may be e.g. to trade digital storage elements for speech, music or singing.

Ebenfalls ist vorgesehen, dass mehrere unterschiedliche Audiosignale gespeichert werden, welche unabhängig voneinander in beliebiger Reihenfolge zur Wiedergabe abgerufen werden können.It is also provided that several different audio signals are stored, which can be retrieved independently of each other in any order for playback.

Neben der Abgabe von vorgespeicherten Signalen besteht auch die Möglichkeit, Lautäußerungen des Anwenders, welche von der Vorrichtung anhand des Mikrofons 6 aufgenommen werden, über den Lautsprecher 4 abzugeben.In addition to the delivery of prestored signals, it is also possible to emit vocalizations of the user, which are recorded by the device on the basis of the microphone 6, via the loudspeaker 4.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass die Vorrichtung für diesen Zweck auch einen Verstärker für Tonsignale enthält, um eine genügend große Läutstärke- und/oder Schalldruckabgabeleistung zu erzielen.It goes without saying that the device for this purpose also includes an amplifier for audio signals in order to achieve a sufficiently large ringing tone and / or sound pressure output.

In einer weiteren, besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es zur Vermeidung von Rückkoppelungen vorgesehen, das Mikrofon 6 nicht direkt am Gehäuse 1 zu befestigten. Die Befestigung erfolgt in dieser Ausgestaltung vielmehr entkoppelt und entfernt vom Lautsprecher 4, z.B. an einem Schwanenhals, welcher zusätzlich auch noch eine verbesserte Positionierung des Mikrofons zum Mund des Anwenders gestattet.In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention, it is provided to avoid feedback, the microphone 6 is not attached directly to the housing 1. The attachment is in this embodiment rather decoupled and removed from the speaker 4, e.g. on a gooseneck, which in addition also allows an improved positioning of the microphone to the mouth of the user.

Synchronisationsynchronization

Bei dieser Betriebsart verzichtet der Anwender im Wesentlichen auf manuelle Eingriffe, welche aber dennoch möglich sind.In this mode, the user essentially dispenses with manual interventions, which are nevertheless possible.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung Licht- und/oder Tonsignale synchron mit anderen in der Nähe befindlichen, weiteren Vorrichtungen abgibt.It is envisaged that the device emits light and / or sound signals synchronously with other nearby devices.

Die dazu erforderliche Synchronisation kann auf mehrere Arten erfolgen.The required synchronization can be done in several ways.

Zunächst ist vorgesehen, dass sich die Vorrichtungen durch das Aussenden und den Empfang von Funksignalen eigenständig synchronisieren. Derartige Verfahren sind bekannt, und brauchen daher an dieser Stelle nicht weiter erläutert zu werden.First, it is provided that the devices synchronize independently by the transmission and reception of radio signals. Such methods are known, and therefore need not be further explained at this point.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die innerhalb eines bestimmten Bereichs befindlichen Vorrichtungen durch den Empfang eines, von einem externen Sender abgegebenen Signals synchronisieren und anschließend z.B. alle synchron Lichtblitze abgeben.In a further embodiment it is provided that the devices located within a certain range synchronize by the reception of a signal emitted by an external transmitter and then, e.g. all deliver synchronous flashes of light.

Für eine andere Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung ein Funkuhrmodul beinhaltet und durch dieses zeitgesteuert zu vorgegebenen Zeitpunkten die gewünschten Signale abgibt. Bei diesen Zeitpunkten kann es sich z.B. um den Zeitwert 5 Sekunden, 10 Sekunden, 15 Sekunden usw. einer jeden Minute handeln.For another embodiment, it is provided that the device includes a radio clock module and timed to give the desired signals at predetermined times. At these times, it may be e.g. to trade the time value of 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc. of each minute.

Da alle, an einem bestimmten Ort befindlichen Vorrichtungen die selbe Zeitinformation erhalten bzw. haben, ist es durch diese Vorgehensweise auf einfache Art und Weise möglich auch zahlreiche Vorrichtungen zu synchronisieren.Since all the devices located at a certain location have the same time information, it is possible by means of this procedure to easily synchronize numerous devices as well.

Ferngesteuertremote-controlled

Eine weitere Betriebsart stellt die Fernsteuerung der Vorrichtungen dar, wobei unter dem Begriff Fernsteuerung sowohl eine Funkfernsteuerung als auch nach beliebigem anderen Prinzip wie z.B. Licht, Schall usw. arbeitende Fernsteuersysteme verstanden werden.Another mode is the remote control of the devices, wherein the term remote control both a radio remote control and by any other principle such. Light, sound, etc. operating remote control systems are understood.

Es sind zwei Unterbetriebsarten zu unterscheiden.There are two sub-modes to distinguish.

Die erste Unterbetriebsart ist die unadressierte Fernsteuerung.The first sub-mode is the unaddressed remote control.

Bei dieser Betriebsart werden alle in einem bestimmten Bereich, also z.B. alle in einem Konzertsaal oder einem Fußballstadion befindlichen Vorrichtungen zeitgleich angesteuert. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest eine der Funktionen der Vorrichtung, vorzugsweise aber alle Funktionen, gezielt und unabhängig voneinander, durch eine zentrale Fernsteuerung ausgelöst werden können, unabhängig davon ob es sich um die Abgabe von Licht- oder Tonsignalen handelt.In this mode, all in a certain range, e.g. all devices located in a concert hall or a football stadium are simultaneously controlled. It is provided that at least one of the functions of the device, but preferably all functions, targeted and independently of each other, can be triggered by a central remote control, regardless of whether it is the delivery of light or sound signals.

Die zweite Unterbetriebsart ist die adressierte Fernsteuerung.The second sub-mode is the addressed remote control.

Für diese Betriebsart enthält jede Vorrichtung Mittel, welche es erlauben eine im Fernsteuersignal enthaltene Adressierung zu erkennen und auszuwerten.For this mode of operation, each device contains means which make it possible to detect and evaluate an address contained in the remote control signal.

Des Weiteren wird jede Vorrichtung, oder aber auch eine beliebig große Gruppe von Vorrichtungen auf eine zuvor ausgewählte Adresse eingestellt, was zur Folge hat diese Vorrichtung(en) nur die Femsteuerbefehle ausführt bzw. ausführen, die für sie bestimmt sind.Furthermore, each device, or even an arbitrarily large group of devices is set to a previously selected address, with the result this device (s) execute only the Femsteuerbefehle that are intended for them.

Für diese Betriebsart ist die Zahl der verfügbaren Adressen von besonderer Bedeutung, da umso beeindruckendere Licht- und/oder Toneffekte erzielt werden können, je mehr Adressen zur Verfügung stehen.For this mode of operation, the number of available addresses is of particular importance, since the more addresses available, the more impressive the lighting and / or sound effects can be.

Bei einer hinreichenden Anzahl von Adressen ließen sich z.B. in einem Fußballstadion folgende Effekte erzielen: Lauflicht, wanderndes (Blitz)lichtgewitter, Klangwolke, von wechselnden Tribünen abgegebene Tonsignale usw..With a sufficient number of addresses, e.g. Achieve the following effects in a football stadium: running light, wandering (lightning) lightning storm, cloud of sound, sound signals emitted by changing grandstands, etc ..

Für beide Fernsteuerbetriebsarten ist vorgesehen, dass auch durch den mindestens einen Lautsprecher abzugebende Tonsignale wie z.B. Sprache, Geräusche oder Gesang per Fernsteuerung bzw. Fernübertragung an eine oder eine Gruppe von Vorrichtungen übertragen werden und von diesen dann abgegeben werden.For both remote control modes it is provided that audio signals to be output by the at least one loudspeaker, such Voice, sounds or vocals are transmitted by remote control or transmission to one or a group of devices and then emitted by them.

Durch die vor dem Spiel stattfindende Positionierung von Vorrichtungen - mit eingestellten Adressen - und montierten Farbfilterelementen auf den Sitzplätzen lassen sich besondere Effekte wie z.B. die Darstellung von Nationalflaggen oder Vereinssymbolen aber auch das vielstimmige Abspielen von Nationalhymnen oder Vereinliedern und Schlachtengesängen realisieren.Pre-game positioning of devices - with set addresses - and mounted color filter elements on the seats allows for special effects, such the representation of national flags or club symbols but also the polyphonic playing of national anthems or club songs and battlesongs realize.

Diese Vorgehensweise lässt sich dadurch kostengünstiger gestalten, dass - bei hinreichend großer Verbreitung dieser Vorrichtungen - nicht die Vorrichtungen selber auf den Sitzplätzen ausliegen, sondern nur z.B. schriftliche Anweisungen, wie der Inhaber dieses Sitzplatzes seine Vorrichtung einzustellen hat.This procedure can be made more cost-effective, that - with sufficiently large distribution of these devices - not the devices themselves lie on the seats, but only e.g. Written instructions on how the owner of this seat has to set his device.

Ebenfalls ist vorgesehen, die Einstellungsanweisungen fest und dauerhaft auf den Sitz- und/oder Stehplätzen anzubringen.It is also envisaged to install the adjustment instructions firmly and permanently on the seats and / or standing room.

Eine weitere deutliche Verbesserung ergibt sich dadurch, dass beim Betreten des Stadions oder des Konzertsaales die in der Regel auf den Eintrittskarten enthaltenen Sitz- oder Stehplatz-Ortsangaben abgelesen oder gescannt werden, woraufhin die für diesen Platz vorgesehene Vorrichtungsadresse per Funksignal der Vorrichtung zugewiesen wird.A further significant improvement results from the fact that, when entering the stadium or the concert hall, the seating or standing-area locations usually contained on the tickets are read or scanned, whereupon the device address provided for this location is assigned to the device by radio signal.

Für eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung bzw. die Realisierung der obigen Funktionen ist vorgesehen, dass bestimmte Adressen durch einen an der Vorrichtung angeordneten Wahlschalter ausgewählt werden können, so dass die in bestimmten Bereichen des Stadions sitzenden oder stehenden Teilnehmer einer Großveranstaltung durch Anweisungen des Personals bzw. am Sitzplatz befindliche Anweisungen die gewünschten Adressen einstellen können.For a development of the invention or the realization of the above functions is provided that certain addresses can be selected by a device disposed on the selector, so that sitting in certain areas of the stadium or standing participants of a major event by instructions the personnel or seated instructions can set the desired addresses.

Beispielsweise nach folgendem Verfahren: linker Rand Südtribüne Adresse 1, Mitte Südtribüne Adresse 2, rechter Rand Südtribüne Adresse 3, linker Rand Haupttribüne Adresse 4 usw.For example, according to the following procedure: left edge south tribune address 1, center south tribune address 2, right edge south tribune address 3, left edge grandstand address 4 etc.

Zur Realisierung dieser Betriebsarten weisen die Vorrichtungen Mittel zum Empfang der Fernsteuersignale auf.To implement these modes of operation, the devices include means for receiving the remote control signals.

In einer weiteren, besonders vorteilhaften Ausbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, die durch das Mikrofon empfangenen Tonsignale zur Auslösung von Licht- und/oder Tonsignalen zu verwenden.In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention, it is provided to use the sound signals received by the microphone for triggering light and / or sound signals.

Dabei ist zunächst bei Überschreitung eines bestimmten Lautstärkepegels die Auslösung von Lichtblitzen und oder anderer Licht- oder Tonsignale vorgesehen. Ebenfalls ist vorgesehen, die durch das Mikrofon empfangenen Tonsignale bezüglich der enthaltenen Frequenzen zu analysieren und bestimmte Frequenzen zur Ansteuerung bestimmter Licht- und/oder Tonsignale zu verwenden. Eine vergleichbare Funktion ist z.B. aus Lichtorgeln bekannt.Initially, if a certain volume level is exceeded, the triggering of flashes of light and / or other light or sound signals is provided. It is also provided to analyze the sound signals received by the microphone with respect to the frequencies contained and to use certain frequencies for the control of certain light and / or sound signals. A comparable function is e.g. known from light organs.

Die einzelnen Betriebsarten sind durch einen nicht dargestellten Wahlschalter auswählbar.The individual operating modes can be selected by a selector switch, not shown.

Ebenfalls kann auch die Auswahl von Unterfunktionen durch Wahlschalter und/oder Schalter/Taster vorgesehen sein.Also, the selection of sub-functions can be provided by selector switch and / or switch / button.

Der Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird auch dann nicht verlassen, wenn bei einer konkreten Ausführung auf eine oder mehrere der oben dargestellten Betriebsarten oder der innerhalb der Betriebsarten vorgestellten Unterfunktionen verzichtet wird, oder wenn zusätzliche Betriebsarten und/oder Unterfunktionen hinzugefügt werden.The scope of the present invention will not be relinquished even if, in a concrete embodiment, one or more of the above-described modes or the sub-functions presented within the modes are omitted, or if additional modes and / or sub-functions are added.
