Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] (Embodiment 1) FIGS. 1 to 3 are perspective views showing a strap according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing the structure of the strap shown in FIG. 1. This strap 100 is a strap to be attached to a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, and is composed of a main body 1 in the shape of a stuffed animal, an operating part 2 provided on the main body 1, and a band part 3 connected to the main body 1. The main body 1 has a hollow structure, and an opening 5 is provided at the bottom 4 to receive wind inside. As the operating part 2, a small fan 6 is arranged so as to face the opening 5. The small fan 6 is attached to a plate body 7 that is movable in a flip shape with respect to the main body 1.

[0011] The small fan 6 is connected to a smartphone 50 or other portable electronic device by a USB cable 9. Power is supplied via the USB cable 9, and on / off control is performed by an application installed on the smartphone 50. The control unit 10 of the small fan 6 is constituted by the application and the smartphone 50 which is hardware.

[0012] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the small fan to be used. The small fan 6 is a DC brushless fan. The built-in motor of the small fan 6 is driven at 5v by the USB cable 9. The USB standard may be USB2.0 or USB3.0. The connector 6a can adopt USB Type-A, Type-B, or Type-C.

[0013] The control unit 10 has a setting unit 11 that controls the on / off time and timing of the switch for moving the main body 1. The control unit 10 includes a notification unit 12 that drives the small fan 6 together with a timer. The power source for driving uses the battery of the smartphone 50.

[0014] The main body 1 is shown as an example of a horse, but is not limited to this, and other animals, people, vehicles, etc. may be used. The material of the main body 1 is preferably a lightweight material such as styrofoam.

[0015] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the strap of the present invention. The USB cable 9 extending from the main body 1 is connected to the terminal of the smartphone 50. As shown in FIG. 6(a), the main body 1 is in a state where the horse is sitting in a stationary state. The application of the smartphone 50 is started, and power is supplied to the small fan 6 by the control unit 10 configured in cooperation with the hardware of the smartphone 50. When the small fan 6 rotates, air is blown into the main body 1 from the opening 5 at the lower part. Due to the wind force of this small fan 6, the main body 1 floats, and as shown in FIG. 6(b), the sitting horse stands on all fours.

[0016] The main body 1 is set to a state where it returns to the sitting state unless wind force is applied as a weight balance. Therefore, the posture of the main body 1 can be easily changed even by the wind force of the small fan 6. The weight balance varies depending on conditions such as the shape and center of gravity of the main body 1. It is at least balanced to receive the wind force of the small fan 6 and move around the fulcrum 60 by that force. As a result, even if the overall weight increases, the posture can be changed by the small fan 6. The main body 1 maintains the same posture during the operation of the small fan 6. When the small fan 6 is turned off, the main body 1 returns to the sitting state.

[0017] As described above, according to the strap 100 according to the present invention, the main body 1 can perform an operation of floating by the user's operation.

[0018] Further, the notification unit 12 of the control unit 10 can be set so that the main body 1 operates at a predetermined time. Also, in the setting unit 11, it can be set to intermittently perform the on / off operation of the small fan 6.

[0019] FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram showing a modification example of the strap according to the first embodiment. In this strap 150, instead of the small fan 6, a plate-shaped permanent magnet 101 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body 1, and an electromagnet 102 is provided on the plate body 7. The supply of current to the electromagnet 102 is performed by the USB cable 9, and its control is performed by the control unit 10. In the case of such a structure, the main body 1 does not have to be hollow, and the opening 5 is unnecessary. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0020] (Second Embodiment) FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a strap according to the second embodiment of the present invention. This strap 200 is composed of a housing 201 incorporating a small fan 6, two slits 202 provided at the upper part of the housing 201, and a film-like belt body 203 provided between the slits 202. An arbitrary pattern is provided on the belt body 203.

[0021] A band portion 3 is provided on the housing 201. The small fan 6 is connected to a smartphone 50 or other portable electronic device by a USB cable 9. Power is supplied via the USB cable 9, and the on / off control is performed by an application installed in the smartphone 50. The control unit 10 of the small fan 6 is constituted by the application and the smartphone 50 which is hardware. The small fan 6 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

[0022] The control unit 10 has a setting unit 11 that controls the on / off time and timing of the switch for moving the main body 1. The control unit 10 includes a notification unit 12 that drives the small fan 6 together with a timer. The power source for driving is the battery of the smartphone 50.

[0023] The material of the strip 203 is made of lightweight vinyl, chemical fiber cloth, or the like. The specific dimensions and shape should be lightweight enough to stand while fluctuating with the air volume of the small fan 6, and should be in a shape that is susceptible to wind.

[0024] Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the strap of the present invention. The USB cable 9 extending from the main body 1 is connected to the smartphone 50. The strip 203 remains hanging in the stationary state (the state shown in Figure 8). The application on the smartphone 50 is launched, and the control unit 10 configured in cooperation with the hardware of the smartphone 50 supplies power to the small fan 6. When the small fan 6 rotates, air blows out from the slit 202 of the main body 1. Since the strip 203 is arranged between the slits 202, it rises due to the wind force and maintains that state while swaying. As a result, as shown in Figure 9, the strip 203 can be expressed as if it is floating, and the user can enjoy seeing this.

[0025] Since the strip 203 is a lightweight film-like object, it can rise while swaying even by the wind force of the small fan 6. The strip 203 maintains the same posture during the operation of the small fan 6. When the small fan 6 is turned off, the strip 203 returns to the hanging state.

[0026] (Embodiment 3) Figure 10 is a configuration diagram showing the strap according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This strap 300 is provided with a magnetic levitation device 301 by magnetic field lines in the housing 302, and a magnet serving as a floating top 304 is built into the main body 303 with a character or the like. The main body 303 is connected by a thin wire 305 to prevent loss. The wire 305 is made of nylon, a non-magnetic material that is not affected by time.

[0027] The magnetic levitation device 301 incorporates a plurality of electromagnets, and the control unit 10 controls the on / off states of these electromagnets. A Hall sensor is provided on the circuit board where the coils forming the electromagnets are arranged to detect the position of the piece, and based on this detection signal, current is supplied to the coils. As a result, the piece stably levitates. The main body 303 incorporating this piece is preferably made of lightweight material.

[0028] Connect the USB cable 9 extending from the main body 303 to the terminal of the smartphone 50. The main body 303 is in a state of being placed on the housing 301 in a stationary state. Start the application on the smartphone 50, and the control unit 10, which is configured in cooperation with the hardware of the smartphone 50, supplies power to the magnetic levitation device. In this state, the user holds the main body 303 by hand and holds it at a predetermined position, and then releases the hand when it is stable. As a result, the main body 303 levitates. By turning it off with the control unit 10, the main body 303 stops levitating and returns to its original state.

[0029] As described above, according to this strap 300, the main body 303 can levitate by the operation of the user, so it can be enjoyed visually. Furthermore, since the main body 303 is connected by the wire 305, it will not be lost during carrying.

[0030] (Embodiment 4) FIG. 11 is a configuration diagram showing a strap according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. This strap 400 includes an outer frame 401 of a skeleton formed by combining a plurality of bars into a substantially spherical shape, a drone 402 disposed inside the outer frame 401, a cable 403 having a telescopic portion 404 connected to the outer frame 401, and a strap provided on the housing forming the telescopic portion. The drone 402 is an unmanned flying object having a plurality of propellers, and in the present invention, a small drone is suitable.

[0031] The cable 403 is wound around and stored in the housing of the telescopic part 404 and can be pulled out. The cable 403 consists of an electric wire that supplies power to the drone 402. One end of the cable 403 may be connected to the outer frame 401 or directly connected to the drone 402. The other end of the cable 403 is connected to the mobile battery 405. Alternatively, although not shown, it may be connected to the battery of the portable terminal 50. A predetermined application is installed in the portable terminal 50, and in cooperation with the hardware of the portable terminal 50, it constitutes the control unit 10 of the drone 402.

[0032] The connection between the control unit 10 and the drone 402 is performed by short-range wireless communication. Alternatively, a signal line for communication may be provided in the cable 403 and directly connected for operation. This drone 402 floats in the air when the portable terminal 50 is placed on a table or when walking. By supplying power from a separate mobile battery 405 or the battery of the portable terminal 50 to the drone 402, the floating time can be extended. Since the floating range is limited by the cable 403, it will not fly out of the intended range. Also, the flight range can be limited by adjusting the length of the cable 403.
