1 is a block diagram showing a multi-functional cradle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an exemplary view showing a multi-functional cradle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention This is a view for explaining the process of setting the color in the multi-functional cradle.

1 and 2, the multi-functional cradle according to an embodiment of the present invention has a main body 100, a host port 20, a plurality of expansion ports 40, a plurality of LED modules 80, the control unit ( 60), the storage unit 50 and the LED driver 70, including a manual setting unit 90.

The main body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 110 for mounting the host device 10, as shown in Figure 2 through a mobile communication device, such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, such as MP3, PMP, etc. It is configured to be.

Mounting groove 110 may be used by plugging the portable communication device and the sound source playback device as a horizontal groove formed horizontally on the main body 100.

The host port 20 is a port for connecting to the host device 10 and is provided at the side or the rear of the main body 100 so as to be connected to a portable communication device, a sound source playback device, and a computer, which is the host device 10 according to a USB communication standard. Allows you to set the function of the multifunctional cradle.

The plurality of expansion ports 40 are provided on the side or the rear of the main body 100 as ports for connecting to a plurality of external devices 30 such as a keyboard, a mouse, a speaker, a headset, and a microphone.

The expansion port 40 may be a USB port, a speaker port, and a microphone port to be connected to a plurality of external devices 30.

The plurality of LED modules 80 are arranged in a radiation shape in front of the upper surface as shown in FIG. 2 or by arranging an RGB LED module 80 capable of expressing full color along the outer surface of the main body 100 so that data input / output or sound Depending on the sound range of the signal, various colors can be produced or used as a mood.

The controller 60 relays data between the host device 10 connected to the host port 20 and the external device 30 connected to the expansion port 40 and sets the LED module 80 in a color set according to the input / output state. To control.

In addition, the storage unit 50 stores the color set for controlling the LED module 80 according to the input / output state of the data in the control unit 60.

The color set to control the LED module 80 may select a color for each sound source band illustrated in (b) by selecting an arbitrary color from the color table of (a) as shown in FIG. In the case of audio signals, different colors are set according to sound source bands, thereby enabling various colors to be produced while music is being played.

In addition, as shown in (c), colors may be set for the input signal and the output signal according to the data input / output state in the expansion port 40.

In addition, it can be set to be dimmed for the color set in (b) and (c) as shown in (d). That is, by setting the range of the light source wavelength dimmed from the set reference color, it is possible to set various renderings to intermediate colors not appearing in the color table (a).

In addition, the dimming speed can be variously set by setting the dimming time as shown in (e). That is, dimming may be performed at a high speed or dimming at a slow speed.

The LED driver 70 drives the plurality of LED modules 80 according to the control signal output from the controller 60.

In addition, the present invention further includes a manual setting unit 90 for manually setting the color according to the position of the LED module 80 provided in the main body 100.

This manual setting unit 90 is set so that the user can arbitrarily use the multi-functional cradle as a mood according to personal preference.

Manual setting unit 90 is a color for setting the color of the LED module 80 of the position selected by the position selection key 91, the position selection key 91 for selecting the position of the LED module 80 for manual setting Speed setting key for setting the dimming speed in the dimming range set by the wavelength setting key 93 and the wavelength setting key 93 for setting the dimming range of the color set by the setting key 92 and the color setting key 92 (94) and mode for storing the position, color, dimming range and dimming speed set by the mode selection key 91, the color setting key 92, the wavelength setting key 93 and the speed setting key 94 for each mode. And a setting key 95.

When adjusting the position selection key 91 to select the position of the LED module 80 disposed in the main body 100 to set the color. For example, the LED module 80 illustrated in FIG. 2 may be individually selected, and the top, front, side, etc. may be selected for each group, or the whole may be selected.

At this time, the LED module 80 of the selected position may be turned on to check the selection state.

When the knob or button is pressed to adjust the color, the color setting key 92 changes colors of the LED module at the selected position as the colors of the color table shown in FIG. You can choose the color accordingly.

If the wavelength setting key 93 is adjusted, the dimming range can be set as the light source wavelength shown in FIG.

For example, if blue is selected as the base color and the light source wavelength is set to +150 nm, color dimming is performed when 0 to +150 nm is added to the blue wavelength.

When the speed setting key 94 is adjusted, the dimming speed can be adjusted by setting the dimming time in the dimming range set by the wavelength setting key 93.

The mode setting key 95 allows the state set through the position selection key 91, the color setting key 92, the wavelength setting key 93, and the speed setting key 94 to be stored above.

At this time, the mode setting key 95 can be stored according to the mode number so that a plurality of modes can be set. When the mode number is selected, the mode setting key 95 can be produced.

Referring to the operation of the multi-functional cradle configured as described above are as follows.

For example, after mounting the smart phone 10 in the mounting groove of the multi-functional cradle, when the smart phone 10 is connected to the host port 20, the smart phone 10 is recognized as a host controller in the smart phone 10 Through (60), a color for rendering according to the input / output state of data is set.

That is, the color of the sound source band, the color according to the data input / output state in the expansion port, the light source wavelength and the dimming speed for dimming are set.

Then, when the earphone output terminal 12 of the smart phone 10 is connected to the expansion port 40, when the music is played on the smart phone 10, the color of the sound source area is turned on and the color of the dimming range set according to the dimming speed. As this change, various direction is demonstrated.

In addition, when the keyboard 30 is connected to the expansion port 40, each time the keyboard 30 is pressed, a color corresponding to the input signal of the connected expansion port 40 is turned on, so that the input / output state of the data is visually confirmed. Improved visibility improves work efficiency.

In this case, when the position of the LED module 80 driven by the expansion port 40 is different, only the driving state of the LED module 80 can confirm the input / output state of the data.

On the other hand, by driving the LED module 80 according to the lighting position, color, dimming range and dimming speed set through the manual setting unit 90 can be used as a mood light by the indirect lighting effect.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. I will understand. Therefore, the technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the claims below.
