Abstract

A circuit for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed on an object in a sequence includes a water-proof enclosure embedded in the object, a motion actuated switch, a controller, and a battery. The motion actuated switch is mounted within the enclosure, for triggering the controller in response to a motion of the object. Moreover, the controller is mounted within the enclosure, and electrically connected to the motion actuated switch and electrically connected to the light-emitting devices respectively, for driving the light-emitting devices lighting in a predetermined way when triggered by the motion actuated switch. Furthermore, the battery is mounted within the enclosure, for supplying the circuit with electrical power.

Claims (29)

1. A circuit for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed on an object, said circuit comprising:

5. The circuit of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting devices comprises at least three light-emitting diodes.

6. A circuit for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed on an object, said circuit comprising:

a seamless water-proof and dust-proof enclosure embedded in the object;

a motion actuated switch, mounted within the enclosure, for triggering a controller in response to a motion of the object;

the controller mounted within the enclosure, the controller comprising a positive pole, a negative pole and a one shot pole, the positive pole electrically coupled to the anode of each of the light-emitting devices and a predetermined voltage source, the negative pole being grounded, the one shot pole coupled to the cathode of each of the light-emitting devices and a shot button coupled among the one shot pole and the negative pole, the controller electrically connected to the motion actuated switch and each of the light-emitting devices, for driving the light-emitting devices lighting in a predetermined way when triggered by the motion actuated switch; and

a battery, mounted within the enclosure, for supplying said circuit with electrical power;

wherein the predetermined way is that the light-emitting devices first lighting one by one such that all of the light-emitting devices are lighted, and then simultaneously flashing N times, N is a natural number; wherein the controller is electrically connected to the light-emitting devices by a plurality of wires and the portion of the enclosure through which the plurality of wires penetrate is sealed by resin or plastic material, such that the circuit is oxidation-free due to the seamless enclosure.

7. The circuit of claim 6 , wherein the water-proof enclosure is molded to mount the motion actuated switch, the controller, and the battery.

8. The circuit of claim 6 , wherein the water-proof enclosure is formed by fusing an upper plastic cover with a plastic container.

9. The circuit of claim 6 , wherein the object is one selected from the group consisting of a shoe, a garment, a handbag, a rucksack, and a cap.

10. The circuit of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting devices comprises at least three light-emitting diodes.

11. A circuit for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed on an object, said circuit comprising:

a seamless water-proof and dust-proof enclosure embedded in the object;
