Proximity-based wireless lighting system

摘要

The invention is an induction-based lighting system designed to provide power to model displays and other similar applications. The first part of the system is the wireless Power Mat that is placed under the model houses and used as the base for the village, and contains a primary winding that interacts with secondary windings placed inside display components to provide lighting effects, such as one finds in model Christmas villages. The electrical characteristics of the primary winding can be controlled by a microcontroller to make lights in the models blink or change as a user desires.

主权项

1. A Lighting System, comprising:
a. a Power Mat that creates a time-varying electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the Mat using a direct current voltage source, oscillator, driver, capacitor and electrical coil; and, b. embeddable wireless illumination Tags constructed with a parallel-turned LC-resonant circuit and light-emitting diode (“LED”), tuned to frequencies compatible with the Power Mat, so that when the Power Mat is energized and creating the electromagnetic field, the LED on the Tags emit light when the Tags are placed on the Power Mat.
