Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a playback device for providing playback of a recording in a soft-sheet medium.
  • the present invention further provides an attention value enhancer for applying in a soft-sheet medium.
  • the present invention also relates to a medium comprising a number of mutually connected sheets and a device according to the present invention.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for applying a playback device in a soft-sheet medium.
  • the present invention further relates to such a device for a packaging having little space therein for arranging a playback device.
  • a playback device can be defined as a device for reproducing image and/or sound.
  • a postcard which is manufactured from cardboard, with a battery which is coupled by means of two wires to a signal providing unit which is coupled to a rudimentary loudspeaker by means of two wires.
  • a switch is further provided, which is coupled to two sides of the open-foldable postcard so that the sound is generated when the postcard is folded open.
  • a playback device for providing playback of a recording, preferably comprising voice sound, in a soft-sheet medium, comprising:
  • - recording means such as memory means for storing the recording, an energy supply for providing energy for the playback, at least one playback member for audible playback of the recording, and switching means for switching the playback to an 'on position' and an ⁇ off position'
  • the device is suitable for applying in the soft- sheet medium, wherein the switching means are functional in the soft-sheet medium.
  • Suitable applications for a device according to the present invention comprise of arranging thereof in a DVD sleeve/packaging, a coffee packaging in which there is little or no space for a playback device of any size, jars for foodstuffs such as sandwich spread comprising peanut butter, washing powder packages comprising samplers, and the like. It is important that such products are subject to only a slight increase in volume as a result of the device, so that the number of products in a package will for instance not increase, or will only do so as little as possible, when the device is applied.
  • the recording means, the energy supply member, the playback member and the switching means are arranged in one structural unit.
  • the manufacturing costs are hereby reduced in efficient manner. It hereby also becomes possible to protect the different components without use being made of components of the environment in which the playback device is placed.
  • the structural unit preferably comprises a carrier for electronic components such as a printed circuit board, on which the recording means, the energy supply member, the playback member, the switching means are directly mounted.
  • a device according to the present invention is functional in a medium with many sheets, and can be actuated for and/or by specific sheets of this medium.
  • one or more of the recording means, the energy supply member, the playback member and/or the switching means are arranged adjacently. Such an adjacent arrangement makes it possible to give the playback device a flat form, whereby the application in for instance a magazine becomes possible without the magazine becoming so much thicker as to be impractical.
  • the electronic components are preferably arranged in one sectional plane with the carrier, such as the printed circuit board.
  • An advantage hereof is that the thickness of the device is determined by the thickest component and can hereby take a very thin form. This is for instance possible by arranging openings or holes in the carrier and arranging for instance the loudspeaker and/or the battery in these openings instead of on the printed circuit board.
  • An effective mounting on the printed circuit board can hereby be realized in both mechanical and electrical manner. It is for instance possible to clamp a battery between two leaf springs in an opening of the printed circuit board.
  • the leaf springs can herein also serve as electrical connection to the printed circuit board.

  • the switching means are preferably arranged wholly in the playback device.
  • a mounting on a sheet situated adjacently to the sheet against which the playback device is attached can hereby for instance be measured.
  • This is particularly advantageous in the case of very soft sheets, which are very easily deformable, since such sheets can provide only under bias a tensile force for a switching action.
  • the device can switch on and off without the user of the medium having to take action for this purpose.
  • An important advantage of the invention is that a reader of the medium is surprised by the unexpected sound.
  • the switching means preferably respond to the turning of one or more soft-sheet pages. It is possible here to apply in the switching means very lightly switching microswitches, which can for instance be embodied as pressure or tilt switches. It is further possible to apply a pressure switch member or a light-sensitive member as switching means.
  • An advantage of for instance the light-sensitive member is that it can function in wholly contact-free manner. In the case of packages for instance the light-sensitivity is advantageous when the package admits no light in the closed position and admits ambient light in the opened position.
  • the pleasure which is experienced when an unexpected piece of music is played when a jar of peanut butter is opened This is also possible within the scope of the invention using other switching techniques as described on the basis of other embodiments.
  • the energy supply member preferably comprises an energy storage such as a battery or capacitor, or an energy converter such as a solar cell.
  • the energy storage for instance has the advantage here that the energy is always immediately available.
  • An energy converter has the advantage that unlimited energy is available as long as the requirements for energy conversion are met.
  • An energy converter can for instance also function independently as switching member.
  • the playback member comprises sound reproducing means such as for instance a loudspeaker.
  • sound reproducing means such as for instance a loudspeaker.
  • a technology is preferably applied for this purpose which enables a flat construction of the sound reproducing means, such as a piezo-technology or other membrane technology. A combination is also possible.
  • the playback member comprises sound reproducing means such as one or more light sources, such as LEDs, or a display screen.
  • sound reproducing means such as one or more light sources, such as LEDs, or a display screen.
  • the recording means comprise a memory which can be overwritten. It is hereby possible for instance to recycle the playback device and use it more than once.
  • soft-sheet is defined as comprising only sheets with a specific weight per square metre of a maximum of 200 grams, preferably a maximum of 180 grams, more preferably a maximum of 160 grams, more preferably a maximum of respectively 150, 140, 130, 120, 110, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40 or 30 grams.
  • a playback device according to the present invention can be applied with very delicate types of paper or very thin types of plastic.
  • soft-sheet is therefore defined as comprising a relatively heavy cover within the above limits, wherein the sheets inside the cover have for the greater part a lower specific weight.

  • the location of a playback device in a subsequent medium in the stack is preferably shifted one or a small number of positions relative to the previous one in the stack. It is important here that the stacking height is increased minimally by applying the playback device in each medium, while the "offsetting" between playback devices lying mutually adjacently in top view progresses as gradually as possible. This for instance prevents excessive curving or offsetting occurring in the sheets of the media while they are situated in the stack.
