Illumination device

摘要

The current invention discloses an illumination device that may be attached to a computing device and provide a light source for a video call, video conference, or a picture capturing process. The illumination device comprises a light source, a power connector, and an attachment assembly that connects that light source to the computing device. The light source maybe a plurality of LEDs or a light panel using electroluminescent lighting. The illumination device may further comprise an external power source and a switch. The illumination device may also be integrally connected to the computing device and uses the power source of the computing device and being controlled by buttons or switches of the computing device. The illumination device may also provide additional signals for incoming calls or ongoing calls by displaying different light intensity, pattern, or color.

主权项

1. An illumination device attached to a computing device, comprising:
a plurality of light sources operably coupled to one another,
wherein an operative state of the plurality of light sources is controlled by a switch, andwherein each of the plurality of light sources is capable of being independently controlled by the switch; an attachment assembly comprising a unitary case capable of removably coupling the plurality of light sources to the computing device,
wherein the unitary case has a recess sized to receive the computing device therein, andwherein the attachment assembly is disposed wholly along a periphery of the computing device; an external power source operably coupled to the plurality of light sources; and a plurality of light covers with at least one of the plurality of light covers being capable of covering or uncovering each of the plurality of light sources,
wherein the plurality of light covers modify an appearance of light emanating from the plurality of LEDs.
