[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 418,470, filed on October 21, 2022, entitled “AN ELECTROMAGNET SYSTEM TO CONTROL MOVEMENT OF ABOBBLING COMPONENT IN BOBBLE DOLLS”, which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 328,913, filed on April 8, 2022, entitled “AN APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING MOVEMENT OF ONE OR MORE COMPONENTS OF TWO OR MORE PHYSICALLY CONNECTED OBJECTS”, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention generally relates to articulated objects and more particularly to an articulated system for controlling the movement of a swinging member in a swinging doll. Background Art

[0004] Typically, an articulated object has one or more parts connected together, and this enables one or more of the connected parts to move relative to each other. Such articulated objects are technically important to many industries, business organizations and / or individuals. In each industry, the benefits of articulated objects are different. The benefits of articulated objects in the toy industry include, for example, gifting, enjoyment, entertainment, collection, decoration, etc. In other industries, including construction and automotive, the benefits of articulated objects may vary greatly - including various forms of aesthetic and practical benefits.

[0005] Currently, there are different types of articulated objects in various areas of the market, including the bobblehead (commonly referred to as "bobblehead") toy segment. However, conventional articulated objects are manually operated and lack remote operation and / or customization in the bobblehead motion. For example, in conventional bobblehead toys, manual interaction with the toy is required to move the bobblehead part, such as placing a hand on the bobblehead part, moving the hand, and then releasing.

[0006] Furthermore, there are fewer existing patent applications that attempt to solve the problems cited in the background as the prior art of the presently disclosed subject matter, and they will be explained as follows:

[0007] US9827504B2, assigned to Kenneth E.Olson and entitled "Vibration Device for Rocking Toys", discloses a vibration device for inducing movement of rocking toys. The device includes a base with a magnetic member, a platform for supporting a rocking toy with a rocking head, and a spring supporting the platform above the base. The device also includes a control circuit for activating and deactivating the magnetic member to induce a vibration mode of the entire rocking toy object (including the rocking head of the toy). The device implements vibration that is programmable, customizable, responsive to external inputs and / or synchronized with other vibration devices and accessories. The vibration device includes a microphone or optical sensor for detecting sound, motion and / or light.

[0008] US20130045659A1, assigned to Michael US C.Tobias, entitled "Shaking Doll with Removable Lower Body", discloses a shaking doll device comprising a base, a support strut, a fixed upper body portion and a movable lower body portion. A spring is attached to the bottom of the upper body portion and the top of the lower body portion so that the lower body portion can move in a reciprocating manner relative to the upper body portion. A magnet is attached to an actuator arm of an actuator powered by a battery power source, and a switch on the base can be operated between an open and closed position to energize and de-energize the actuator. The actuator pushes and / or pulls the magnet by reciprocating motion within a track, and the lower body portion includes one or more magnets of opposite polarity to the magnet. When the actuator is energized using a switch, the magnet begins to move, which in turn causes the magnet to move the lower body portion.

[0009] However, existing techniques require some manual interaction to move the shaking parts.

[0010] Therefore, there is a need for an improved articulated system that overcomes one or more of the above limitations of conventional shaking devices that require little human interaction and gives movement that is customized to user preferences and can also be triggered by events, animals, people, objects, etc. Summary of the invention

[0011] The present invention discloses an articulated system. The system includes one or more objects. Each object includes one or more swinging parts. The system also includes one or more connection modules, which movably connect each swinging part to the corresponding object.

[0013] The system also includes a power module configured to supply power to the magnetic component. The system also includes a control module in communication with the power module. The control module is configured to control the power module to supply power to the motion inducing module. Supplying power to the first component generates a magnetic field that attracts the connection module, thereby inducing movement of one or more shaking components proximal to the connection module. The control module is configured to control the duration of the movement sequence of the one or more shaking components.

[0014] In one embodiment, the system includes at least one object including at least one shaking component. An electromagnet is fixed to the object.

The control module is configured to turn on the power to generate an attractive force from the electromagnet, and turn off the power to remove the attractive force. The attractive force compresses the connection module, and the removal of the attractive force decompresses the connection module, thereby inducing the movement of the shaking component connected to the object.

[0015] In one embodiment, the electromagnet is a solenoid electromagnet. The solenoid electromagnet is fixed at the object. The object includes at least one shaking component. The control module is configured to control the power module to supply power to the solenoid electromagnet. The solenoid electromagnet moves a rod integrated into the solenoid electromagnet to move up and down and hit the shaking component of the object, thereby inducing movement of the shaking component connected to the object.

The attraction and repulsion of the magnetic component induce a series of movements of the shaking component. In one embodiment, the motion inducing module includes an electromechanical device. The electromechanical device includes but is not limited to an electric motor, a solenoid or an electromagnet.

[0021] The control module is further configured to control the duration of the movement sequence of the shaking component.

[0041] A description of embodiments of the present invention will now be given with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is contemplated that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 , the system 100 includes one or more objects 102 having one or more shaking parts 104. The one or more objects 102 include a first object 102 having one or more first shaking parts 104. The system also includes one or more connection modules 106. The connection modules 106 include a first connection module 106. In one embodiment, the object 102 is a human figure, and the shaking part 104 is a head of the corresponding human figure. In this embodiment, the system 100 includes at least one object 102, such as a shaking doll.

[0043] The first coupling module 106 movably couples the first swinging member 104 to the first object 102. The first coupling module 106 is disposed between a first end of the first object and a first end of the first swinging member 104. In one embodiment, the system 100 further includes an electromechanical device including, but not limited to, an electric motor, a solenoid, and an electromagnet.

[0044] The system 100 also includes a motion inducing module. In one embodiment, the motion inducing module is embedded in the object 102 and the shaking component 104. The motion inducing module includes at least two magnetic components (108, 110), including a first component 108 and a second component 110.

[0045] The first component 108 is disposed at the first end 102A of the first object 102, and the second component 110 is disposed at the first end 104A of the first rocking component. The motion inducing module is configured to move the first rocking component 104 in any desired direction of motion. The direction of motion includes an axis of motion.

[0046] In one embodiment, the motion inducing module is configured to initiate shaking of the first shaking component 104. In another embodiment, the motion inducing module is configured to maintain shaking of the first shaking component 104.

[0047] The motion inducing module includes at least one of an electromagnet, a metal object, a permanent magnet, and a ferromagnetic component. The motion inducing module is embedded or integrated into any type of existing shaking doll during the production process. In addition, the first component 108 and the second component 110 can be integrated into any type of existing shaking doll as an aftermarket modification kit to make the existing shaking doll shake.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first component 108 is an electromagnet and the second component 110 is an armature plate. In another embodiment, the first component 108 is an electromagnet and the second component 110 is at least one of an electromagnet, a metal object, a permanent magnet, and a ferromagnetic component.

[0049] The first part 108 includes a first polarity, and the second part 110 includes a second polarity. The first polarity is opposite to the second polarity. The processor is configured to intermittently change the first polarity and the second polarity through the power supply to generate at least one of an attractive force and a repulsive force between the first part 108 and the second part 110. The attraction and repulsion of the first part 108 and the second part 110 induce a series of movements of the shaking part 104. The motion inducing module is configured to provide shaking on demand in any type of shaking doll.

[0050] In addition, when the first component 108 and the second component 110 attract each other, the first connection module 106 is compressed. When the first component 108 and the second component 110 are released or repel each other, the first connection module 106 is decompressed. In one embodiment, the first component 108 is an electromagnet, and the second component 110 is a metal component. When the control module supplies power to the electromagnet, the electromagnet attracts the metal component, which compresses the connection module 106. When the control module turns off the power supply to the electromagnet, the connection module 106 is decompressed. The compression and decompression of the first connection module 106 are configured to initiate the shaking of the first shaking component 104. In addition, the compression and decompression of the first connection module 106 are configured to maintain the shaking of the first shaking component 104. The motion initiation module can be programmed in a variety of ways. For example, the motion initiation module is configured to cause shaking of X seconds or X minutes every X seconds or X minutes.

[0051] In another embodiment, the first component 108 and the second component 110 are magnetic components. In one embodiment, the magnetic component includes at least one of an electromagnet, a ferromagnetic component, a metal component, and a permanent magnet component. When the power is turned on, the first component 108 may have a polarity opposite to the second component 110. Then, the first component 108 and the second component 110 attract each other, which enables the linking module 106 to compress and the shaking component 104 to move. When the power is turned off, the linking module 106 is decompressed due to the absence of a magnetic field.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 , system 200 includes one or more objects 102 having one or more shaking parts (104, 112). One or more objects 102 include a first object 102 having one or more first shaking parts (104, 112). System 200 also includes one or more connection modules (106, 114). In one embodiment, the object is a human figure, and the shaking parts are two limbs of the corresponding human figure. The first part 108 and the second part 110 enable the shaking parts (104, 112) to move. The first part 108 is disposed at the first end 102A of the object 102, and the second part 110 is disposed at the first end 104A of the first shaking part 104. The first part 108 is disposed at the second end 102B of the object 102, and the second part 110 is disposed at the first end 112A of the first shaking part 112. Similar to Figure 1 The connecting modules (106, 114) compress and decompress to move the shaking components (104, 112).

[0053] The system (100, 200) also includes a power module electrically connected to the motion initiation module. The power module is configured to supply power to the motion initiation module. In one embodiment, the power module includes one or more batteries. In another embodiment, the power module includes one or more rechargeable batteries.

In another embodiment, the power module is remote from the object 102.

[0054] The system (100, 200) also includes one or more sensors and one or more actuators. In one embodiment, the sensor and the actuator are embedded in the object. In another embodiment, the sensor is separately set away from the system (100, 200). In one embodiment, the sensor is coupled to the system (100, 200) via a wireless method, such as Bluetooth. The sensor includes but is not limited to an image sensor, a motion sensor, and an audio sensor. The motion sensor is configured to determine a user approaching the system (100, 200).

In one embodiment, the sensor is set at the door of a building. The sensor is configured to detect a person entering the building and trigger the system (100, 200) to initiate the movement of the shaking component (104, 112). In another embodiment, the system (100, 200) is configured to trigger the movement of the shaking component (104, 112) based on the detection of an event or occurrence.

The storage module stores user information including one or more characteristics of one or more users. The shaking sequence information includes one or more shaking sequences and one or more shaking sequences corresponding to each user. The storage module is configured to retrieve the shaking sequence information based on the sensor data. The shaking sequence information can be used to analyze and change the configuration of the shaking pattern as determined by a designer or owner / operator.

[0056] The processing module is configured to analyze the sensor data and generate commands based on the analysis of the sensor data. The communication module is configured to transmit the generated commands to the actuator. The actuator is configured to control the polarity associated with the first component 108 and the second component 110. In addition, the control of the polarity includes changing the polarity of the first component 108 and the second component 110 to produce a shaking of the first shaking component relative to the first object 102. Alternatively, the motion initiation module cycles between power off and power on. This causes the first component 108 and the second component 110 to alternate between mutual attraction and release. Thus, the system (100, 200) generates a preprogrammed shaking sequence.

[0057] In one embodiment, the communication module is configured to transmit commands and sensor data to at least one user device associated with the user. In addition, the user device includes but is not limited to a smart phone, a mobile phone, a tablet and a personal computer.

[0058] The system (100, 200) also includes a user device that communicates with the control module and the communication module of the object. The communication module is configured to transmit commands and sensor data to the user device. In one embodiment, the user device includes but is not limited to a smart phone, a mobile phone, a tablet, and a personal computer. The user device also includes one or more sensors.

[0059] The system (100, 200) is configured to wirelessly communicate with a software platform. The software platform includes, but is not limited to, a smartphone, a tablet, a similar device application, and a website. The communication module is configured to receive a shaking selection from a user device. The storage module is configured to retrieve shaking data corresponding to the shaking selection. The command is generated based on the shaking data. In addition, the shaking data includes, but is not limited to, a sequence or pattern of shaking the system in various ways, including shaking on demand, shaking with a selectable shaking motion range from mild to severe, and the duration of the shaking.

[0060] The system (100, 200) also includes one or more output devices. The output devices include, but are not limited to, speakers and light sources. The shaking data includes additional data corresponding to the additional output device. The additional data indicates that the user wants to use the additional output device to generate output. The processing module is configured to generate an output command associated with the additional output device based on the additional data output.

[0061] In addition, the communication module is configured to transmit an output command to an additional output device. In addition, the additional output device is configured to generate an output based on the output command. In one example, the speaker is configured to generate sound based on the output command. In another example, the light source is configured to generate light based on the output command. In addition, the additional output device generates an output synchronized with the shaking of the system (100, 200).

[0062] In addition, other types of effects are also combined and coordinated with the shaking effect. For example, a smart phone application plays audio before, after, or during the shaking of the shaking component. The audio includes, but is not limited to, the user's voice notes and music. The music includes, but is not limited to, album music and personalized music. In addition, the music is associated with a type. In addition, the sensor includes an audio sensor configured to generate sensor data based on detecting audio.

[0063] In addition, the system (100, 200) is configured to shake in time with audio based on command. This is used in conjunction with a motion induction module and other modules that can cause shaking without manual intervention. In addition, the shaking of the system (100, 200) is coordinated with additional features of additional output devices, such as coordination of the shaking motion with audio effects. These effects include, but are not limited to, music and text. The application is configured to enable users to select from a menu of audio effects to record their own effects.

[0064] In yet another embodiment, the motion initiation module can be attached to any type of conventional shaking doll or newly designed shaking doll as an aftermarket modification kit.

In addition, the aftermarket modification kit includes at least one sensor, at least one additional output device, a communication module, a processing module, and a storage module.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first component 108 is an electromagnet and the second component 110 is a metal component. When the control module supplies power to the electromagnet, the electromagnet attracts the metal component, which compresses the link module 106. When the control module turns off the power to the electromagnet, the link module 106 decompresses. The compression and decompression of the link module 106 enable the shaking component 104 to move. The movement of the shaking component 104 can cause another shaking component to vibrate and indirectly cause shaking. In one embodiment, the control module can be a switch.

[0066] In another embodiment, the first component 108 and the second component 110 are magnetic components. In one embodiment, the magnetic component includes at least one of an electromagnet, a ferromagnetic component, a metal component, and a permanent magnet component. When the power is turned on, the first component 108 may have a polarity opposite to that of the second component 110. Then, the first component 108 and the second component 110 attract each other, which enables the linking module 106 to compress and the shaking component 104 to move. When the power is turned off, the linking module 106 is decompressed due to the absence of a magnetic field. The movement of the shaking component 104 causes another shaking component to vibrate and indirectly causes shaking.

When the power is turned off, the linking module 124 is decompressed due to the absence of a magnetic field. The movement of the shaking component 122 can cause another shaking component 104 to vibrate and indirectly cause shaking.

[0105] refer to Figure 7 , the first component 108 is an electromagnet, and the second component 110 is a metal component. When the control module supplies power to the electromagnet, the electromagnet attracts the metal component, which compresses the connecting module (106, 124). When the control module turns off the power to the electromagnet, the connecting module (106, 124) is decompressed. The compression and decompression of the connecting module (106, 124) enable the shaking component (104, 122) to move. The movement of the shaking component (104, 122) can cause another shaking component (104, 122) to vibrate and indirectly cause shaking.

[0114] In some embodiments, the system (300, 500, 600, 700, 800) includes at least one additional output device. The output device includes, but is not limited to, a speaker, a light source, etc. In one embodiment, the shaking data includes additional data corresponding to the additional output device.

The additional output device generates an output synchronized with the shaking of the system.

[0115] In addition, other types of effects can be combined and coordinated with the shaking effect. For example, a smartphone application (or app) can play audio before, during, and / or after shaking. The audio includes the user's voice notes and music. The music includes album music, personalized music, etc. In one embodiment, the music is associated with a type.

[0116] In one embodiment, the sensor includes an audio sensor configured to generate sensor data based on the detection of audio.

These effects include music, text, etc. The app enables users to select from a menu of audio effects, to record their own effects, etc.

[0117] In addition, an example can be considered to describe the Bobble Battle design. The first swaying part 104 of the first object 102 and the second swaying part 122 of the second object 120 are separated by a small distance. In addition, in one example, the first object 102 represents the design of boxer A with the first swaying part 104 including the head, and the second object 120 represents the design of boxer B with the second swaying part 122 including the right arm.

[0118] In addition, the glove portion of B's ​​shaking component is close to but not in contact with the head of A's shaking component. The motion inducing module is integrated into B's glove and A's head. When the motion inducing module is powered on by pressing a button, using a smart device app, etc., the motion inducing module causes B's glove to be attracted to A's head. This causes a collision between the glove and the head. The motion inducing module is then quickly powered off. This terminates the attraction between the glove and the head, and they are separated. As a result, the two shaking components (arm and head) (104, 122) shake independently, rather than shaking together as in conventional designs.

[0119] In another example, the motion inducing module is located at the shoulder of B's ​​shaking arm. The use of electromagnets can be configured to cause B's arm to extend into A's head. When the motion inducing module is powered on by pressing a button, using a smart device app, etc., the motion inducing module causes B's arm to move in the direction of A's head. This causes a brief collision between the arm and the head, followed by a rebound. As a result, the two shaking components (arm and head) (104, 122) shake independently, rather than shaking together as in conventional designs.

[0120] Additionally, upon impact, the audio mimics the sound of a fist hitting, the boxer's grunts, the crowd cheering, etc. Additionally, "kits" can be designed and used to swap out different key pieces, e.g., different celebrities, superheroes, politicians, etc. can be swapped in and out of the boxer design.
