Interactive boxes

Abstract

The present invention discloses displaying messages using a transparent display using two parts. In particular, the parts are microLED displays that are coupled to move rotatably, horizontally or vertically. Further, the displays are orthogonal or edged at an angel to each other. In additional the displays, that can be transparent, are connected to a controller to manage messaging, display, audio, battery and charging functions.

Description

Interactive BoxesField of the invention[1] The present invention relates to displaying messages using a transparent display.Summary[2] The present invention relates to a method to display messages using a transparent display, the method comprising, having a box with two coupled parts with each part having at least one surface, having at least one transparent window on a surface of one part, having a transparent display in the transparent window, wherein the transparent display is a microLED display, and displaying messages on the transparent display.Brief Description of the Drawings[3] The foregoing and other advantages of the disclosure will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings.[4] Figure 1 shows a box, which comprises two parts or displays.[5] While the present disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments or implementations have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail herein. It should be understood, however, that the disclosure is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of an invention as defined by the appended claims.Detailed Description[6] The present invention relates to the messages that can be scheduled to be released on different occasions, times or actions. The messages can be stored in a memory in the box, or a cloud sent to the box during the occasion.[7] The embodiment is a box with at least one transparent display on one side of the box. The transparent display can show information about the products, brand, or personalized messages or videos.[8] In one related embodiment, the messages can be scheduled to be released on different occasions, times or actions. The messages can be stored in a memory in the box, or a cloud sent to the box during the occasion.[9] In one related embodiment, the messages can be updated, or new messages can be added.

[0010] For example, the box can be used for jewelry or watch brand. The user can add gift messages to the system. When the receiver opens the box or on specific dates, it shows the message or messages.

[0011] Figure 1 shows a packaging box with display windows. Here box 100 comprises two parts, 102 and 104. The two parts can be connected through a hinge that can open. Each part has at least one surface. Also the Boxes may be connected in a way that they are movable up and down and sideways, slidably (not shown). An optically transparent film can fill the space between the frontplane and the backlight substrate. A fine film is formed on the backplane with controlled thickness in another related embodiment. The frontplane is attached to the film. The film can be adhesive, or another adhesive layer can be formed between the frontplane or transparent film to facilitate the lamination of the frontplane to the backlight. The film can be patterned to an isolated area for each zone in one related embodiment. A reflective layer covers the area between each zone to prevent light leakage between the zones. One part, 102, has a surface with at least a transparent window 108. Transparent window 108 has a transparent display. The transparent display can be microLED. The two parts, 102 and 104, can have other transparent windows 110 which may also have a display. The display may be flexible and wrapped between the two surfaces. And here both displays are orthogonal or edged at an angel which is not 360 degrees to each other.

[0012] The electronic system containing the display controller, battery, messaging, interaction, or communication is embedded in one or more non-transparent surfaces. The system may include charging capabilities to keep the battery charged. The system may include sensors such as light, gyroscope, and touch interface with microsensor for interaction and creating actions accordingly. The touch sensor may be an electronic sensor used in detecting and recording physical touch. The touch sensor may be a device that measures information arising from physical interaction with its environment. The system may consist of a speaker to accompany the display message with some audio. The display can be a microLED display.

[0013] To save battery, most system actions are off until an event is triggered, or a user action is defined. The event can be any date such as an anniversary, certain calendar events, lifetime achievements, etc. A password or biometric data can control the messages.

[0014] While particular embodiments and applications of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction and compositions disclosed herein and that various modifications, changes, and variations can be apparent from the foregoing descriptions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Claims

Claims1. A method to display messages using a transparent display, the method comprising: having a box with two coupled parts with each part having at least one surface, wherein both displays are orthogonal or edged at an angel which is not 360 degrees to each other; having at least one transparent window on a surface of one part; having a transparent display in the transparent window, wherein the transparent display is a microLED display; and displaying messages on the transparent display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the two parts have other transparent windows each of which also have a transparent display.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the displays are flexible and wrapped between the two surfaces.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein an electronic system containing the display controller, battery, messaging, interaction, or communication is embedded in one or more non-transparent surfaces.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the system has charging capabilities to keep the battery charged.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the system includes sensors such as light, gyroscope, and touch interface for interaction and creating actions accordingly.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the touch sensor is an electronic microsensor used in detecting and recording physical touch.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the touch microsensor is a device that measures information arising from physical interaction with its environment.

9. The method of claim 4, wherein the system comprises a speaker to accompany the display message with audio.
