Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Consumer goods are tangible goods that are purchased for direct consumption to satisfy a human need or want (i.e., purchased for direct consumption). For the most part, consumer goods are designed to make household life more convenient. For instance, vacuum cleaners make it easier for people to clean embedded dirt and dust from carpets, upholstery, and drapery.

Users can often feel drained of energy, which often causes the user to ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a multimedia system for incorporation with a consumer good. It comprises one or more stereo speakers, a memory for storage of one or more data files, a power supply to power the speakers, and a switch to temporarily cut off power. The system may also include a microphone for hands-free communication, a digital camera to encode digital images and videos, and one or more light emitting diodes to project light from the consumer good. Additionally, the invention may include a low-power transceiver for wireless transmission of data information and a mobile computing device, such as a smartphone, that can wirelessly transmit audio files through the speakers. The power supply may be a power cord or a rechargeable battery, and the memory may be located within the mobile computing device or in a separate module. The system may also include a switch with visual capabilities and a power supply that is rechargeable by solar or other means. The consumer good may be a hand-held blow dryer with stereo speakers, motor, and heating elements. The system may also include low-power transceivers, LEDs, and a power supply for controlling the audio files. The invention allows for the incorporation of multimedia functionality into consumer goods, providing improved user experience.

Problems solved by technology

While consumer goods make certain aspects of life easier, their use can in turn be an inconvenient and monotonous chore.

For instance, hand-held consumer goods tend be relatively heavy, bulky, and their operation requires a certain level of skill, all of which ends up restricting the user's focus to completing the task at hand.

Users can often feel drained of energy, which often causes the user to putting off the use, or complete avoidance, of their consumer goods.

In particular, one generally sacrifices operating their stereo system or smart phone while drying their hair with a hair dryer.
