Abstract

Interactive gift box, comprehensive - a case in the form of a closed box with an interior to hold a gift, - a drive unit located inside the housing to generate movement or vibration of the gift box, - a sound unit for playing back tones, noises or speech signals, - a control unit for activating and coordinating the drive unit and the sound unit, - and a power supply unit, characterized in that the drive unit, the sound unit, the control unit and the power supply unit are arranged in the housing in such a way that the interior of the gift box continues to serve as usable storage space for a gift.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to an interactive gift box with an integrated movement and sound unit, which also serves as gift packaging. The utility model is attributable to the field of gift items as well as entertainment and effects devices.

[0002] Traditional gift wrapping serves solely to contain and visually present a gift. It has no active functions and produces neither movement nor sound effects. Interactive effect devices with movement or sound, on the other hand, are generally not designed as gift wrapping and offer no usable interior space for a gift. A combination of gift wrapping and an interactive effect device is either unknown or only achievable with significant limitations regarding storage space, usability, or external design.

[0003] The invention therefore aims to provide a gift box that can be used as a conventional gift box for holding a gift, while also creating a surprising and entertaining effect through movement and acoustics. The external appearance of a classic gift box should be retained, while the technical components are entirely located inside the box.

[0004] This task is solved by an interactive gift box with the features of claim 1.

[0005] The gift box according to the invention has a housing in the form of a closed box with an interior space for holding a gift. Inside the housing are arranged a drive unit for generating movement or vibration of the gift box, a sound unit for playing tones, noises, or speech signals, a control unit for coordinating the functions, and a power supply unit. The aforementioned technical components are integrated into the housing in such a way that a usable interior space for holding a gift is maintained. The activation of the movement and / or sound playback is effected via a control unit, which can be controlled wirelessly or via sensors.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the gift box is made of cardboard, plastic, or wood and is designed as a cuboid box with a lid. A drive unit in the form of an electric motor with an unbalanced weight is arranged in the lower part of the housing, which, when activated, generates a vibration or a slight movement of the entire box. Furthermore, an electronic sound unit with a loudspeaker and storage unit is provided inside, which plays back stored or transmitted audio signals. Power is preferably supplied by batteries or accumulators.

[0007] The upper interior of the gift box is free of any technical components and serves to hold a gift. Inserting the gift does not affect the function of the drive unit or the sound unit. The gift box can be activated either via a wireless remote control, a mobile control unit, or automatically by a motion sensor. The exterior of the gift box resembles a conventional gift box and can be adorned with a lid, ribbon, or decorative elements, while the technical components remain hidden from view.

[0008] The invention combines gift packaging with an interactive entertainment effect, providing a fully usable interior space for a gift and creating a surprising effect through movement and sound. At the same time, the technical equipment remains invisible from the outside, and simple activation via remote control or sensors is possible.

[0009] The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Rather, numerous variations and further developments are possible, particularly with regard to the type of sounds reproduced, the design of the drive unit, the activation method, additional optical effects such as LEDs, and the shape and size of the gift box.
