Definitions
- the invention relates to a portable lighting device with a light source and a switching device for switching on and off the light source.
- the invention is concerned with a pocket light which serves to illuminate the interior of a container, for example a handbag.
- a pocket light which serves to illuminate the interior of a container, for example a handbag.
- EP 0 958 756 A1 and DE 10 2010 044 320 B4 disclose lighting devices of this type in which the switching device responds to the signal of a touch sensor or proximity switch. When the user grabs the open handbag to search for items while touching the illuminator, the light source is automatically turned on, illuminating the interior of the handbag.
- the illumination device with a further sensor which detects the opening and closing state of the container and, for example, causes the light source to switch off automatically when the container is closed again.
- the object of the invention is to expand the functionality of such a lighting device.
- This object is achieved in that the switching device has a speech processor for the analysis and / or synthesis of spoken language.
- the light source can then be switched on simply by this - and if necessary turn off again, that a suitable password is pronounced.
- the "vocabulary" of the speech processor need only comprise one or a few words, so that only a small computing capacity and little programming effort are required for the speech processor.
- the invention makes the lighting device particularly attractive as an advertising medium or giveaway, since as a password, for example, the company name or the brand of the advertising company can be used.
- the advertising effect can be enhanced by the external design of the lighting device. If the password z. B. is the brand of a sports car, the lighting device can be designed as a model of this stroller.
- the speech processor can also be used to generate a short spoken text when the lighting device is activated or deactivated, wherein the activation and deactivation can possibly also take place in a conventional manner with the aid of a touch sensor or the like.
- FIG. 1 shows a view of a lighting device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a simplified circuit diagram of the illumination device.
- the lighting device shown in Fig. 1 comprises an oval or disc-shaped housing 10 with two half-shells 12, 14, which are held together by a frame 16.
- the outer surfaces of the half-shells 12, 14 are formed as luminescent screens and therefore form a light source 18, which is shown in simplified form in Fig. 2 as a switching symbol.
- the luminescent screens can be formed, for example, by a fine grid of LEDs behind a translucent, light-scattering protective layer.
- At least one condition sensor 20 is housed in the housing 10, which serves to detect the opening and closing state of a container, not shown, for example, a handbag, in which the lighting device is normally stored.
- the condition sensor 20 is an ambient light sensor which detects the light incident on it when the bag is open.
- the housing 10 includes an electronic switching device 26 and a battery 28, which are shown only in the diagram in Fig. 2.
- the switching device 26 comprises a primary switching device 30, which is constantly supplied with operating voltage from the battery 28 and is responsive to the signal of the state sensor 20, and a secondary switching device 32, which is connected to the microcontroller. fon 22 and the speaker 24 connected speech processor 34 contains.
- the secondary switching device 32 and the light source 18 receive voltage from the battery 28 only via a switch 36 which is controlled by the primary switching device 30.
- Another switch 38 is controlled by the secondary switching device 32 and 5 serves to turn the light source 18 on and off, provided that the switch 36 is closed.
- the primary switching device 30 has only a very low power consumption, so that it does not overload the battery 28 excessively. Only when the handbag is opened 10 and light falls into the interior of the handbag, the primary switching device 30 causes the closing of the switch 36, so that the secondary switching device 32 is supplied with operating voltage. If the user then audibly utters a suitable password, the sound signal is received by the microphone 22 and analyzed in the voice processor 34. If the sound signal is actually the fixed password, the secondary switch 32 closes the switch 38, turning on the light source 18.
- the speech processor 34 may be programmed to also generate a short answer text that is output as spoken speech through the loudspeaker 24.
- the secondary switching device 32 may also be configured so that by inputting the same password or a second password, the light source 18 is turned off again.
- the light source 18 is turned off when the condition sensor 20 detects that the handbag has been closed again.
- the switch 36 is opened by the primary switching device 30, whereby the power supply for the secondary switching device 32 is interrupted and the signal which has kept the switch 38 closed falls, so that the switch 38 opens.
- the state sensor 20 is an ambient light sensor, it should be arranged to be shielded from the light of the light source 18.
- the switching device may be configured to modulate the light from the light source 18, for example, at certain intervals for a very short time. switches off the period of time imperceptible to the human eye. Within this period, the ambient light sensor can then determine whether the bag is open or closed.
- the state sensor 20 may also be configured as a touch sensor, proximity switch or acceleration sensor.
- the lighting device can be, for example, the fact that the user engages by hand in the bag, or by shaking the bag slightly in the ready-to-start state.
- the state sensor 20 and the primary switching device 30 can be dispensed with altogether, and optionally their functions or at least parts thereof can be adopted by the secondary switching device 32.
- the secondary switching device may be arranged to normally be in a low-power sleep state by checking whether the microphone 22 is receiving an acoustic signal only at short intervals of time, for example at a rate of several tens or several hundred milliseconds , Only if there is an audible signal is the speech processor 34 activated to check if the audible signal is the password.
- the password or set of passwords may be permanently stored in the speech processor 34.
- the speech processor 34 is configured to "learn" different passwords in a particular training mode. can.
- the lighting device can be individually configured with regard to the choice of passwords.
- the speech processor 34 can also "learn” to respond to the typical clicking noise that arises upon opening and closing the handbag, thus realizing the function of the accessory sensor 20.
- the switching device can also be designed so that it switches off the light automatically after a fixed period of time again.
