  Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, an artificial nail 10 (hereinafter referred to as “false nail”) provided with a light emitting device using short-range wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a nail body 20, a light emitting unit, and a light emitting unit. 30 and a protective cover 50.

  The nail body 20 has a plate shape curved along the bending rate of a natural nail. The appearance of the nail body 20 is in the same or different form from the conventional artificial nail. As shown in FIG. 5, the bottom portion of the nail body 20 may have a structure with no irregularities on the surface, similar to a conventional artificial nail. On the other hand, in another embodiment, the claw body 20 may include a receiving groove portion 22 for receiving a light emitting portion 30 to be described later, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in another embodiment, the claw body 20 may include a diode insertion portion 24 into which the light emitting diode 40 is inserted as shown in FIG. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 10, the claw body 20 can be coupled to a light emitting unit 30 described later by an insert injection method.

  The light emitting unit 30 includes an induction coil 35 and a light emitting diode 40.

  The induction coil 35 is formed on a flexible printed circuit board. The induction coil 35 can be made of a material such as copper having good electrical conductivity. The induction coil 35 may be printed in a coil shape around the flexible printed circuit board. Meanwhile, the induction coil 35 may not be formed on a flexible printed circuit board, but may be configured in an in-lay form on the nail body 20.

  The induction coil 35 converts an electromagnetic wave transmitted from a terminal capable of performing non-contact wireless communication into electricity by an electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The induction coil 35 serves as a kind of antenna. The electromagnetic wave that can be converted into electric energy by the induction coil 35 corresponds to, for example, an electromagnetic wave transmitted from an NFC (NFC) module provided in a smartphone. NFC (NFC) is a type of short-range wireless communication, and is a type of RFD (RFID) wireless communication technology. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that can mutually transfer data between terminals at a short distance of 10 cm using a frequency of 13.56 MHz band. NFC is a non-contact communication technology and is a kind of electronic tag (RFID) that can manage various information of things. In general, the conventional RFID can only use the information reading function by a reader device, while the NFC can transfer data in both directions. When NFC is installed in a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone, when the NFC antenna is activated, the smartphone itself performs the role of a card reader. That is, when a smartphone equipped with a traffic card function is applied to a terminal installed on a bus, the smartphone passes the remaining amount of information to the terminal, and the terminal can receive and settle the information.

  The reason why NFC is in the spotlight as the next-generation payment method, even though there is already a commonly used wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth, is because encryption technology can be applied. NFC has the advantage that it can prevent the outflow of personal or payment information from the source by encrypting the radio wave exchange performed between the terminal and the reader. Also, Bluetooth requires separate sharing approval (pairing, pairing) for information exchange between terminals. However, NFC recognizes the signal within 0.1 seconds when the antenna is activated and closes to the terminal, and has advantages over conventional communications such as Bluetooth in terms of user convenience. . Such NFC has recently been apt to be installed in smartphones. The induction coil 35 can obtain electrical energy by a signal generated from an NFC module mounted on a smartphone. On the other hand, the induction coil 35 can also obtain electric energy by electromagnetic waves generated by an RF terminal installed at a bus or subway gate.

  The light emitting diode 40 emits light by electric energy generated from the induction coil 35. Between the light emitting diode 40 and the induction coil 35, for example, a circuit element such as a rectifier, an amplifier, a noise filter, or the like may be provided. The induction coil 35 and the light emitting diode 40 can be disposed on one flexible printed circuit board as shown in FIG. A plurality of the light emitting diodes 40 may be provided. As shown in FIG. 7, the light emitting diode 40 may be disposed in a form of being inserted into a diode insertion portion 24 formed at the bottom of the claw body 20. As shown in FIG. 7, when the light emitting diode 40 is disposed, the claw body 20 serves as a transmission path for light generated from the light emitting diode 40. Therefore, when the light emitting diode 40 is arranged as shown in FIG. 7, light can be transmitted two-dimensionally along the claw body 20 and a new and unusual decoration effect can be produced. . As shown in FIG. 4, the light emitting diode 40 may be formed in a state of being mounted on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). Thus, the induction coil 35 and the light emitting diode 40 can be manufactured as one unit.

  A display unit 44 may be disposed on the light emitting diode 40. The display unit 44 is a sheet including a transparent or translucent part, and is disposed between the light emitting diode 40 and the nail body 20. The display unit 44 may be formed with a transparent or translucent handle so that light generated from the light emitting diode 40 can be transmitted.

  The protective cover 50 is attached to the claw body 20 in a state of covering the light emitting unit 30. The protective cover 50 is an opaque sticker-like member. The protective cover 50 serves to block light generated from the light emitting diode 40 from being propagated below the claw body 20 and to protect the light emitting unit 30 from external impacts. As shown in FIG. 10, when the light emitting unit 30 and the claw body 20 are coupled by an insert injection method, the protective cover 50 may not be provided.

Below, the effect of the artificial nail | claw 10 which has the above structures is explained in full detail.
Referring to FIG. 9, a state where the person who has attached the artificial nail 10 is holding the smartphone 100 can be understood schematically. In FIG. 9, the artificial nail 10 is stuck to the thumb. In general, an NFC module is provided on the rear surface of the smartphone 100. Therefore, when a human is holding the smartphone 100 or making a call, one of the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger comes to be located on the rear surface portion of the smartphone 100. In this case, the NFC module of the smartphone 100 must be set to an activated state. An electromagnetic wave signal is generated from the NFC module of the smartphone 100, and the electromagnetic wave is converted into electric energy by the induction coil 35 included in the artificial nail 10. The electrical energy converted by the induction coil 35 causes the light emitting diode 40 to emit light. The light generated from the light emitting diode 40 is transmitted to the upper portion of the claw body 20 through the display unit 44. Therefore, the user or a person near the user can observe that the artificial nail 10 periodically emits light due to the NFC signal generated from the smartphone 100.

  Such a usage pattern can occur in the same manner when the user who has attached the artificial nail 10 gets on the bus where the RF terminal is installed or gets off the traffic card close to the RF terminal. In addition, when the user who has attached the artificial nail 10 passes the subway charge settlement gate and brings the traffic card close to the RF terminal by hand, the light emitting unit 30 is activated and a light emitting effect appears.

  In addition, recently, as smartphones 100 are rapidly popularized, game applications are becoming popular among the applications of smartphones 100. When such a game is to be executed on a smartphone, at least some of the user's fingers come to grip the rear surface portion of the smartphone 100. Also in this case, an excellent decorative effect can be realized by the light emitting part provided in the artificial nail 10 emitting light by the electromagnetic wave signal generated from the NFC module provided in the rear surface part of the smartphone 100.

  As described above, the artificial nail according to the present invention includes a light emitting unit that emits an electromagnetic wave transmitted from a terminal constituting the non-contact short-range wireless communication system as an energy source. So that it can perform the decoration function when it is close to an electronic device equipped with or an object used in the neighborhood, operates even without a separate battery, has high efficiency and is unique There is an effect that can provide an artificial nail having a decorative effect.
