Mobile/portable and personal pre-recorded sound effects electronic amplifier device/gadget

Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a cheering apparatus, comprising: an effect selector, for selecting a sound effect to be played upon activation; a motion detector, for detecting an acceleration or deceleration by a user's limb; and an audio unit, for playing the selected sound upon indicating by the motion detector acceleration or deceleration of a user's limb. The cheering apparatus may further comprise a handheld casing, for housing at least a speaker of the audio unit. The cheering apparatus may further comprise a connector, such as one or more straps, for directly or indirectly connecting the motion detector to a human's limb. The motion detector may comprise: a conductive weighting object; a flexible conductive element connected at one end to the weighting object, and connected at the other end to a non-conductive chassis; and conductive housing.

Problems solved by technology

A spectator of a show such as a concert or sports match is basically limited to express himself by his own capabilities.

However, spectators, especially of sports events, sometimes feel this is insufficient, and therefore use devices for amplifying their reaction, such as trumpets and the like.

All the methods and devices described above have not yet provided satisfactory solutions to the problem of amplifying a user's reaction to events of a happening, such as a spectacle and sport match.
