[0029] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The speaker with multi-mode lighting effects provided in this application embodiment will now be described. The speaker includes a speaker body 100, a handle 200, a light-emitting element, and a smart chip; the handle 200 is mounted on the speaker body 100; the light-emitting element is disposed within the handle 200, and / or disposed on the speaker body 100; the smart chip is disposed within the speaker body 100 and electrically connected to the light-emitting element, and the smart chip is used to set the brightness sequence, color, and duration of the light-emitting element to achieve different lighting effect modes or brightness.

[0030] The speaker with multi-mode lighting effects provided in this application embodiment, compared with the prior art, achieves diverse lighting effect modes and brightness adjustment through the control of the light-emitting element by an intelligent chip, thereby meeting the personalized needs of users in different scenarios. This design not only improves the functionality and practicality of the speaker, but also enhances the user experience. The handle 200 makes the speaker easy to carry, facilitating user movement in different scenarios and meeting both outdoor and indoor usage needs. By integrating the light-emitting element into the handle 200 and the speaker body 100, the lighting is organically combined with the speaker body 100, maintaining the overall aesthetics of the device while enhancing the product's technological and fashionable feel. Simultaneously, it avoids the impact of external light-emitting elements on the speaker's size, solving the problem of increased size and reduced portability caused by external light-emitting structures in traditional speakers.

[0031] In this embodiment, the light-emitting element is detachably disposed within the handle 200, and / or disposed on the speaker body 100. When the user has an extreme need for portability, the light-emitting element can be removed to reduce the size and weight of the speaker. When a lighting effect is required, the light-emitting element is then installed. This method satisfies the user's portability requirements in different scenarios while retaining the lighting function.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The handle 200 includes a first cover 201 and a second cover 202; the first cover 201 is connected to the speaker body 100, and the second cover 202 covers the first cover 201, forming a receiving cavity between the first cover 201 and the second cover 202. The light-emitting element includes a first light-emitting element 301, which is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0033] In this embodiment, by placing the first light-emitting element 301 within the receiving cavity, not only is the light-emitting element effectively protected from the influence of the external environment, but the structural characteristics of the receiving cavity also enhance the uniform distribution of light. Furthermore, the detachable design of the first cover 201 and the second cover 202 makes the installation and maintenance of the light-emitting element more convenient. Users can replace or upgrade the light-emitting element according to actual needs, further improving the product's flexibility and durability. It is understood that the second cover 202 is made of a light-transmitting material (e.g., transparent plastic), allowing the light to pass through evenly, creating a soft and layered visual effect.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The handle 200 also includes a light mixing element 203, which is disposed in the receiving cavity and has a mounting groove. The first light-emitting element 301 is disposed in the mounting groove. The light mixing element 203 can mix different colors of light to produce a dazzling and colorful lighting effect.

[0035] In this embodiment, the design of the light mixing element 203 not only enhances the visual effect of the light, but also optimizes the propagation path of the light through its unique structure. The mounting slot allows the first light-emitting element 301 to be precisely fixed in the light mixing element 203, thereby ensuring uniform distribution and efficient utilization of the light.

[0036] Specifically, the light mixing component 203 can be made of silicone material, which has good flexibility and high temperature resistance, and can adapt to the usage requirements in different environments. At the same time, the silicone light mixing component 203 also has excellent light transmission performance, which can effectively reduce light loss and further improve the brightness and color saturation of the lighting effect.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the lighting effect modes include, but are not limited to, static mode, dynamic mode, rhythmic light mode, breathing light mode, flashing mode, and gradient mode.

[0038] In this embodiment, the smart chip can flexibly switch between different lighting effect modes based on user selection or preset conditions. The static mode is suitable for environments requiring soft, stable lighting, such as during reading or rest; the dynamic mode provides a lively and vivid visual experience through constantly changing lighting effects, suitable for parties or entertainment scenarios; the rhythmic light mode adjusts the frequency and intensity of light changes in real time according to the music rhythm, creating a strong sense of atmosphere; the breathing light mode simulates the rhythm of breathing, making the light gradually brighten and dim, giving a relaxing and comfortable feeling; the flashing mode enhances visual impact through rapid alternation of light and dark, suitable for reminder or warning functions; and the gradient mode displays an elegant and layered lighting effect through smooth color transitions. These lighting effect modes not only enrich the speaker's functionality but also allow users to freely choose according to specific needs, greatly enhancing the product's applicability and enjoyment.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The speaker body 100 has a light-transmitting component 400 on its side. The light-emitting element also includes a second light-emitting element 302. The second light-emitting element 302 is disposed between the light-transmitting component 400 and the speaker body 100 and is electrically connected to the smart chip. The light-transmitting component 400 is used to control the direction of light propagation and the diffusion range.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting up the light-transmitting component 400 and the second light-emitting component 302, the speaker's lighting effects can be further enhanced. The design of the light-transmitting component 400 not only optimizes the light propagation path but also allows adjustment of the light diffusion range according to user needs, thereby achieving more precise lighting control. The connection between the second light-emitting component 302 and the smart chip enables the lighting effects to change in real time with music, environment, or user operation, enhancing the speaker's interactivity and scene adaptability.

[0041] Specifically, the first light-emitting element 301 and the second light-emitting element 302 can be LED light panels or LED light strips; in this embodiment, LED light strips are preferred. LED light strips have a certain degree of flexibility and can be bent more flexibly to match the shape of the handle 200 or the curved surface of the speaker. LED light strips are also less likely to be damaged when subjected to a certain external force or bending, thus improving the stability and durability of the structure.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the light-transmitting component 400 includes a light-transmitting plate and a plurality of prisms, with the plurality of prisms arrayed on the surface of the light-transmitting plate.

[0043] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting plate is made of a highly transparent material to ensure efficient light transmission and maintain good clarity. The array distribution of multiple prisms causes light to undergo multiple refractions and reflections during propagation, thus creating a more complex and layered lighting effect. By adjusting the arrangement density and angle of the prisms, the direction of light propagation and the diffusion range can be precisely controlled to meet the lighting needs of different scenarios.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The speaker body 100 is equipped with an operation button 101, which is connected to the smart chip. The operation button 101 is used to switch the lighting effect mode or brightness of the light-emitting element.

[0045] In this embodiment, the design of the operation button 101 emphasizes practicality and convenience. Users can switch lighting modes and adjust brightness through simple touch or pressing. The button surface uses an anti-slip material to optimize the touch experience and reduce the possibility of accidental operation. To meet personalized needs, the operation button 101 supports customizable function settings. The smart chip can remember the user's preferred configuration and realize one-click switching of frequently used modes. In addition, the button is equipped with a backlight function to improve visibility in nighttime or low-light environments. The backlight color and brightness can automatically adjust according to the overall lighting style of the speaker to maintain visual consistency.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, a gesture recognition sensor is provided on the speaker body 100. The gesture recognition sensor is electrically connected to the smart chip and is used to switch the lighting effect mode or brightness of the light-emitting element.

[0047] In this embodiment, the addition of a gesture recognition sensor brings a completely new interactive experience to the speaker's operation. Users do not need to directly touch the speaker; they only need to make specific gestures in front of the sensor to quickly switch between lighting effects or brightness levels. For example, waving left and right cycles through lighting effects, while waving up and down adjusts the brightness level. This contactless operation method not only improves ease of use but is also particularly suitable for scenarios where fingers are wet or oily, making direct contact with the speaker inconvenient.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, a music and light controller is provided on the speaker body 100. The music and light controller is electrically connected to a smart chip and can switch the lighting effect mode or brightness of the light-emitting element according to the change of music rhythm.

[0049] In this embodiment, the music and light controller adds more fun and dynamism to the speaker's lighting effects. Through precise control of the smart chip, the speaker can capture real-time changes in the music's rhythm and translate them into visual effects from the light-emitting elements. For example, when the music tempo speeds up, the lighting effect may switch to a more dazzling flashing effect, while when the music becomes softer and more soothing, the lighting effect will adjust to a gentle gradient or constant-on mode. This dynamic interaction between the lighting effects and the music rhythm not only enhances the user's auditory experience but also delivers a strong visual impact, making the speaker a focal point in various scenarios.

[0050] In this embodiment, the music and lighting controller not only analyzes the rhythm, melody, and volume of the music, but also analyzes dimensions such as timbre and harmony, making the changes in lighting effects richer and more subtle. For example, once a high note is detected in the music, the light color switches to a bright hue; if a low note is detected, the light color switches to a deep hue, thereby achieving more precise interaction between the light and the music.

[0051] In this embodiment, the music lighting controller can also be linked with other music playback devices (such as smart TVs and computers). When multiple devices play the same music simultaneously, the speaker's lighting effects will be synchronized with the display or lighting effects of other devices, thereby creating a more immersive multi-device interactive audio-visual experience.

[0052] In one embodiment of this application, the smart chip includes an APP control module, which is used to interact with a mobile APP.

[0053] In this embodiment, integration with a mobile app allows users to control the lighting effects via their phones, further enhancing the convenience and enjoyment of the interaction. Adjusting brightness and color, switching lighting modes, or preseting specific visual effects based on music genres can all be accomplished with simple operations. This intelligent design not only enhances user engagement but also makes the speaker's functionality more diverse and flexible. Furthermore, the app control module supports remote operation, allowing users to adjust the lighting effects in real-time via their phones even when they are not near the speaker, greatly facilitating their needs in daily use. The application of this technology further demonstrates the speaker's innovation and practicality in the field of intelligent interaction.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the APP control module can be bound to a social platform account by interacting with a mobile APP. When the user receives specific social information (such as likes or comments from friends), the speaker's lighting effects will react accordingly, such as flashing specific colors or patterns, to increase the emotional connection and social interaction between the user and the speaker.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, the smart chip further includes a positioning module, which can be linked with the positioning function of the mobile phone.

[0056] In this embodiment, by incorporating a positioning module, the speaker can intelligently identify its environment and make corresponding adjustments, thereby providing users with a more scene-appropriate lighting experience. The collaborative work of the positioning module and the smart chip not only enhances the speaker's intelligence level but also further improves user convenience and satisfaction in different usage scenarios. For example, outdoors, it automatically activates high-brightness, fast-flashing lighting effects to attract attention; in a car environment, the speaker can automatically switch to a dynamic rhythmic lighting effect mode, creating a more vibrant in-car atmosphere in sync with the music; and in a quiet indoor environment, it switches to a soft, gradient lighting effect, providing users with a comfortable visual experience. This location-based automatic adjustment function fully embodies the speaker's human-centered design philosophy and also expands its application potential in various scenarios.

[0057] In this embodiment, the speaker body 100 includes a shell made of high-strength environmentally friendly material, possessing excellent durability and impact resistance, effectively protecting internal components from external damage. Simultaneously, the shell surface undergoes special treatment, providing anti-slip and anti-fingerprint functionality, making the speaker more stable and easier to clean during use. Internal components such as light-emitting elements also undergo waterproof and dustproof protection treatments to prevent damage from collisions, moisture, and other factors, extending the speaker's lifespan and adapting to various complex usage environments.

[0058] In this embodiment, a self-healing coating material is applied to the surface of the outer casing. When the outer casing suffers minor scratches or wear, the coating can automatically repair itself, restoring its original appearance and protective properties, thereby extending the speaker's lifespan.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, a micro-projection module is provided inside the speaker body 100 to project light effects onto surrounding walls or objects. For example, it can project dynamic patterns that correspond to the rhythm of music, such as jumping notes or twinkling stars, creating a unique visual effect, enriching the expressive forms of light, and enhancing the sense of space.

[0060] In one embodiment of this application, the handle 200 and the speaker body 100 can be made of materials such as carbon fiber composite material and high-strength lightweight plastic alloy. These materials, while ensuring the structural strength and protective performance of the speaker, also have the characteristics of being lightweight. They reduce the overall weight of the speaker and improve portability without affecting the lighting effect function.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, a smart sensor is also provided inside the speaker body 100. The smart sensor is electrically connected to a smart chip. The smart sensor can monitor the speaker's operating environment and status in real time, such as temperature, humidity, and acceleration. When an abnormal situation (such as high temperature, high humidity, or severe vibration) is detected, the speaker's operating mode will be automatically adjusted or a warning will be issued. At the same time, corresponding protective measures will be taken for key components such as lighting components to ensure the stability and reliability of the speaker in harsh environments.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, the speaker body 100 also includes a Bluetooth module. The addition of the Bluetooth module makes the speaker more versatile in terms of connection methods, meeting users' needs for wireless audio transmission.
