[0030] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic toy book, which includes a book body 100 , a motion response unit 200 and a trigger unit 300 .

[0031] Among them, the book body 100 has a folded state and an unfolded state; the motion response unit 200 is arranged in the book body 100, and the motion response unit 200 includes a response switch 210 and a response device 220, and the response switch 210 is electrically connected to the response device 220; the trigger unit 300 is arranged in the book body 100, and the trigger unit 300 is used to trigger the response switch 210 when the book body 100 changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, so that the response device 220 works.

[0032] In this embodiment, before use, the book body 100 is in a folded state, the trigger unit 300 does not trigger the response switch 210, and the response device 220 does not work. When in use, the book body 100 in the folded state is opened to the unfolded state, at which time the trigger unit 300 moves relative to the response switch 210 and triggers the response switch 210 to make the response device 220 work. When the reader reads the content in the book body 100, the response device 220 works to help the reader read, or attract the reader to read, thereby improving the reader's reading interest; or the response device 220 works to attract the user to play with the electronic toy book, thereby improving the interest of the electronic toy book.

[0033] Specifically, the response device 220 is a control circuit for controlling the operation of a light source, a sound source, or a motor; of course, the response device 220 can also be other output devices such as a display screen. For example, when the response device 220 is a control circuit for controlling the operation of a sound source, the response device 220 at least includes a speaker and a memory for storing sound files.

[0034] For example, a three-dimensional folding model is also provided in the book body 100. When the book body 100 changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the three-dimensional folding model unfolds to form a stage and characters. At the same time, when the book body 100 changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the trigger unit 300 triggers the response switch 210, the response device 220 works, the light source of the stage emits light to decorate the stage, the sound source of the stage plays music, and the characters on the stage move on the stage with the motor.

[0035] For another example, the script 100 has text written on it. When the reader reads the text, the sound source plays voice information matched with the text content to improve the reader's reading interest or help the blind read.

[0036] In addition, objects with a book page turning structure, such as desk calendars, wall calendars, notebooks, etc., should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the book body 100 includes a first page 110 and a second page 120 that are movably connected to each other; when the book body 100 is in a folded state, the first page 110 and the second page 120 are closed, that is, one of the first page 110 and the second page 120 covers the other, similar to the closed state of a book or a greeting card; when the book body 100 is in an unfolded state, the first page 110 and the second page 120 are unfolded, similar to the open state of a book or a greeting card.

[0038] Specifically, the side edge of the first page 110 is rotatably connected to the side edge of the second page 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the side edge of the first page 110 may be connected to the flat area of ​​the page surface of the second page 120. In fact, as long as the first page 110 and the second page 120 form a book body page turning structure, it should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Of course, a book body 100 may include a plurality of first pages 110 and a plurality of second pages 120. The plurality of first pages 110 and the plurality of second pages 120 form a bound book.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the response switch 210 is a contact switch.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, for a response switch 210 that is a contact switch, in one aspect, the response switch 210 is an open-circuited printed circuit 211, and the response switch 210 is arranged on a first path in the second book page 120; the trigger unit 300 is a first flexible member 311 having a conductive member 321 at a first end 331, a second end 332 of the first flexible member 311 away from the conductive member 321 is connected to the first book page 110, and the first end 331 is inserted into the second book page 120; the first path is the movement path of the first end 331 when the book body 100 is changed from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the book body 100 changes from a folded state to an unfolded state, the first page 110 rotates relative to the second page 120, the first page 110 drives the first flexible member 311 to move, and the first end 331 moves along the first path. During this period, the conductive member 321 contacts the open printed circuit 211, so that the open printed circuit 211 is closed, and the control response device 220 works.

[0043] Specifically, the first flexible member 311 is a cardboard strip. The conductive member 321 is a conductive material such as conductive glue or copper foil.

[0044] It should be noted that the second page 120 has a plug hole away from the connection between the first page 110 and the second page 120 for the first end 331 of the first flexible member 311 to be inserted into. Since the plug hole is away from the connection between the first page 110 and the second page 120, when the first page 110 drives the first flexible member 311 to move, the conductive member 321 can move relative to the printed circuit 211.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, for the response switch 210 that is a contact switch, in another aspect, the response switch 210 is a mechanical switch 212, and the response switch 210 is arranged on the second path in the second book page 120; the trigger unit 300 is a second flexible member 312 with a touch-pressure member 322 at the third end 333, and the fourth end 334 of the second flexible member 312 away from the touch-pressure member 322 is connected to the first book page 110, and the third end 333 is inserted into the second book page 120; the second path is the movement path of the third end 333 when the book body 100 is changed from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the book body 100 changes from a folded state to an unfolded state, the first page 110 rotates relative to the second page 120, the first page 110 drives the second flexible member 312 to move, and the third end 333 moves along the third path. During this period, the contact member 322 presses the mechanical switch 212 to make contact, the mechanical switch 212 is closed, and the control response device 220 works.

[0047] Specifically, the second flexible member 312 is a cardboard strip.

[0048] The second book page 120 has a plug hole away from the connection between the first book page 110 and the second book page 120, for the third end 333 of the second flexible member 312 to be inserted. Since the plug hole is away from the connection between the first book page 110 and the second book page 120, when the first book page 110 drives the third flexible member to move, the touch-pressure member 322 can move relative to the mechanical switch 212. The second book page 120 is provided with an L-shaped groove, and the second flexible member 312 is L-shaped. The response switch 210 is located on the side of the protruding part of the L-shaped groove close to the first book page 110. The touch-pressure member 322 is located on the side of the protruding part of the second flexible member 312 close to the first book page 110, and corresponds to the position of the response switch 210. When the book body 100 is in a folded state, the pressure member 322 is away from the mechanical switch 212. When the book body 100 is changed from the folded state to the unfolded state, the second flexible member 312 and the pressure member 322 thereon move along the L-shaped groove, and the pressure member 322 presses the mechanical switch 212 to make contact, and the mechanical switch 212 is closed, and the control response device 220 works.

[0049] Reference Figure 5In addition, a plurality of first pages 110 are rotatably connected to each side of a second page 120, and each first page 110 is individually connected to a trigger unit 300, and each first page 110 can drive its corresponding trigger unit 300 to move. A plurality of motion response units 200 are arranged in the second page 120, and each motion response unit 200 is triggered by a trigger unit 300. When one of the first pages 110 is rotated, the trigger unit 300 on the first page 110 triggers its corresponding motion response device 220. When another first page 110 is rotated, the trigger unit 300 on another first page 110 triggers its corresponding motion response device 220. The control of multiple motion response devices 220 can be realized, making the electronic toy book more interesting.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the response switch 210 is a non-contact switch.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, for a response switch 210 that is a non-contact switch, in one aspect, the response switch 210 is a Hall sensor 213, and the response switch 210 is arranged in the second book page 120; the trigger unit 300 is a magnet 323; when the book body 100 is in a folded state, the magnet 323 is located outside the sensing area of ​​the Hall sensor 213; when the book body 100 is in an unfolded state, the magnet 323 is located within the sensing area of ​​the Hall sensor 213.

[0052] In this embodiment, the magnet 323 can be located on a paper strip, and the paper strip is inserted into the second book page 120. When the book body 100 changes from a folded state to an unfolded state, the paper strip and the magnet 323 thereon move relative to the Hall sensor 213 until the magnet 323 is located within the sensing area of ​​the Hall sensor 213. The magnet 323 triggers the Hall sensor 213, causing the response device 220 to work.

[0053] Of course, the magnet 323 can also be directly placed in the first page 110. When the book body 100 changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the magnet 323 of the first page 110 moves relative to the Hall sensor 213 of the second page 120 until the magnet 323 is located within the sensing area of ​​the Hall sensor 213. The magnet 323 triggers the Hall sensor 213 to make the response device 220 work. In addition, the first page 110 is provided with a magnet 323, and the second page 120 is provided with multiple Hall sensors 213, and each Hall sensor 213 controls a response device 220. In the process of the book body 100 changing from the folded state to the unfolded state, the magnet 323 passes through the sensing areas of different Hall sensors 213, thereby making different response devices 220 work.

[0054] Reference Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, for the response switch 210 that is a non-contact switch, in another aspect, the response switch 210 is a light sensor 214, and the response switch 210 is arranged in the second book page 120; the trigger unit 300 is a light emitting body 324 and a shielding member 325, the shielding member 325 is connected to the first book page 110, and the light emitting direction of the light emitting body 324 is toward the light sensor 214; when the book body 100 is in a folded state, the shielding member 325 is located on the light path of the light emitting body 324; when the book body 100 is in an unfolded state, the shielding member 325 is located outside the light path.

[0055] In this embodiment, the light emitting body 324 and the light sensor 214 are located in the second book page 120, and the light emitting body 324 shines toward the light sensor 214. When the book body 100 is in the folded state, the shielding member 325 is located in the light path of the light emitting body 324, and the light sensor 214 cannot receive the light emitted by the light emitting body 324, and the light sensor 214 controls the response device 220 to stop working. When the book body 100 is changed from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first book page 110 drives the shielding member 325 to move, and the shielding member 325 leaves the light path and no longer blocks the light emitted by the light emitting body 324; the light sensor 214 receives the light emitted by the light emitting body 324, and the light sensor 214 controls the response device 220 to work. It should be noted that the light emitting body 324 is directly controlled by the power switch of the electronic toy book. When the power switch of the electronic toy book is turned on, the light emitting body 324 emits light.

[0056] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above implementation mode. As long as the technical effect of the present invention is achieved by the same means, it should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
