[0001] A DECORATIVE DEVICE AND METHOD
[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The invention relates to a decorative device and a method for operating a decorative device.
[0004] PRIOR ART
[0005] Snow globes are decorative devices, usually made of glass or plastic, containing water and light particles to create the effect of snow. By shaking the globe, the user can watch the movement of the snowflakes. In addition to the small figures inside, some snow globes may also contain music boxes that operate with the help of a mechanical mechanism. These music boxes play a specific melody and are usually operated by a wind-up system.
[0006] Existing snow globes can include mechanisms that automatically trigger the snow effect over a certain period of time. This allows the snowflakes to move without the user having to manually shake the globe. Some snow globes also use motorized systems that allow the figures inside the snow globe to rotate or perform certain movements. However, existing snow globes usually have pre-programmed movements. They do not offer a structure that can be directly controlled by the user. Therefore, while existing snow globes contain visual and auditory elements, they are limited in their ability to offer the user personalization or an interactive experience. Elements such as light, music and movement often work in a fixed pattern and cannot be adjusted according to the user's preferences. In addition, snow globes have limited customisation options that appeal to users' personal preferences or special memories. However, users can expect not only aesthetic pleasure from decorative objects, but also an interactive experience. Therefore, current snow globes are insufficient for users compared to interactive toys and technological products due to their simple mechanisms. Although artificial intelligence based interactive toys and smart devices have become widespread in recent years, snow globes have retained their traditional structure. Therefore, existing snow globes offer a fixed system that works independently of the user and do not include a function that can analyze the surrounding sounds or react to special situations.
[0007] In the present art, patent application US7905426B1 relates to a snow globe. Said snow globe includes a fan that creates an airflow, an odor emitting mechanism, a motorized snow effect and a music system. The user can control the motor and music via a switch. The application US7905426B1 does not mention a snow globe having an interactive function capable of providing users with an interactive experience, and a function capable of analyzing surrounding sounds or reacting according to specific situations.
[0008] Application number US2005039358A1 relates to a snow globe. US2005039358A1 discloses a snow globe is disclosed in which a longer-lasting snowfall effect can be provided and a miniature figure is placed inside. Accordingly, the snow globe is rotated horizontally so that the artificial snow inside the snow globe falls. The application US2005039358A1 does not disclose an interactive snow globe capable of providing an interactive experience to users.
[0009] All the problems mentioned above have made it necessary to make an innovation in the relevant technical field as a result.

[0036] Figure 3 is a drawing illustrating schematic view of the operating scenario of the decorative device.
[0037] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0038] In this detailed description, the subject matter is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect only in order to make the subject more understandable.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , the invention relates to a decorative device (100) and a method for operating the decorative device (100).
[0040] The decorative device (100) may be a snow globe. The decorative device (100) comprises a light source (161 ) that is activated by triggering a first switching element (160). The decorative device (100) comprises a drive mechanism (171 ) that is activated by triggering a second switching element (170). The drive mechanism (171 ) may comprise a stirring propeller. For example, this enables the movement of snowflakes inside the snow globe. In this way, by creating a visual effect, the decorative device (100) is provided with an attractive structure. The movement of the snowflakes allows it to go beyond being merely a static decoration and offers a visual experience to the viewer. Additionally, the operation of the moving snow effect in synchronization with the light source (161 ) can make the atmosphere more impressive.
[0041] The decorative device (100) comprises a sound receiving unit (1 10) for receiving at least one sound data. The sound receiving unit (110) comprises at least one microphone. In this way, the detection of ambient sounds can be achieved. The decorative device (100) comprises a sound emitting unit (120) for transmitting sound received from the sound receiving unit (1 10) to an external environment. The sound emitting unit (120) comprises at least one speaker. In this way, sounds recorded by the user or preloaded sound files are transmitted to the environment. Therefore, user interaction is enhanced by providing not only a visual but also an auditory experience of the decorative device.
[0042] The decorative device (100) comprises a memory unit (140) for recording at least one sound file. The memory unit (140) may comprise a combination of memories for storing data permanently and for storing data temporarily when required. In this way, prerecorded or sound files can be stored by the user and played back when needed. This allows the device to provide a customizable sound experience.
[0043] In a possible embodiment of the invention, said sound file may contain at least one of the voices of a fairy tale and a lullaby. In this way, users can record fairy tales or lullabies in their own voice, especially for children. For example, parents, grandmothers or great-grandmothers can record a lullaby or fairy tale for the baby by means of the sound receiving unit (1 10) and store it in the memory unit (140). This way, even when the parent or grandparent is not physically present, the baby can be soothed by a familiar and trusted voice. These personalized voice recordings go beyond standard melodies and offer a special sleep and relaxation experience for the baby.
[0044] The decorative device (100) comprises a wireless communication unit (180) for exchanging data with a user device (200). The wireless communication unit (180) may comprise a Bluetooth module, a modem, a Wi-fi card, a mobile data network, etc. The user device (200) may be a smartphone, a phone and a computer. In this way, the decorative device (100) can be remotely controlled and users can manage sound, light and other functions via their mobile devices. For example, a parent can adjust the volume of the decorative device (100), change the lighting effects or play a sound recording via Bluetooth connection via an app on their mobile phone.
[0045] The decorative device (100) comprises a sensor unit (150) for detecting contact with a surface. The sensor unit (150) comprises at least one touch sensor. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the touch sensor is a capacitive touch sensor. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the touch sensor is a pulse sensor. Accordingly, a vibration is detected when the decorative device is touched. In this way, the user can interact without the need for physical buttons and can control certain functions by touch gestures. For example, a single tap on the surface of the decorative device (100) can turn on the light, two taps can play a recorded sound file, or pressing and holding for a certain amount of time can adjust the volume. This improves the user experience by minimizing false contacts thanks to its sensitive sensing capability.
[0046] The decorative device (100) comprises a processor unit (130). The processor unit (130) may be a CPU, a GPU, a microprocessor, etc. The processing unit (130) enables at least one sound data to be received from the sound receiving unit (1 10).
[0047] The processor unit (130) provides applying the sound data received from the sound receiving unit (110) as input to an artificial intelligence model that gives the crying state information of the baby as output when it receives at least one sound data and trained with a lot of number of sound data containing baby cries as input, and obtaining the crying state information of the baby as output. In this way, the decorative device (100) can automatically initiate the specified functions by detecting the sound of the baby crying. For example, the processor unit (130) uses an artificial intelligence model to analyze the ambient sounds and generate a specific response only when it detects the baby crying.
[0048] The processor unit (130), based on the crying state information of the baby, enables the activation of the sound emitting unit (120) for playing at least one sound file stored in a memory unit (140), in case it is determined that the baby is crying. Thus, it distinguishes sounds other than baby crying sounds and responds only to actual crying sounds, and can play a recorded lullaby / tale to soothe the baby, change the light effects, or send a notification to the parent's mobile device. The artificial intelligence model can be trained over time with new sound data to make more precise detections and distinguish different types of baby cries, thereby enabling the device to operate as an adaptive and learnable system. The processor unit (130) sends a notification to the user device (200) when the baby is detected to be crying based on the baby's crying status information. In this way, the parent can be immediately notified of the baby's crying and can take the necessary action in time. The notification can be delivered through a mobile application in the form of a notification, a voice alert. Thus, even if the parents are not with the baby, they can be informed about the situation through the decorative device (100) and take quick action.
[0049] The processor unit (130) enables at least one contact state data to be received from a sensor unit (150) for detecting the contact state of the surface on which it is located. In this way, the user can easily control certain functions by physically interacting with the decorative device (100). For example, when the user touches the surface of the device (200), the user can turn on the light source (161 ), turn on the voice recording. Thus, the decorative device has a user-friendly interface and offers a modern and interactive use without the need for physical buttons.
[0050] The contact state data enables the evaluation of physical interactions made with the decorative device (100) in a specific pattern. Accordingly, the sensor unit (150) located on the decorative device detects touches made on the surface and can convert these touches into numerical data for processing. The contact state data has a predetermined and encoded structure and enables the interpretation of single or multiple touches in accordance with the operation of the decorative device (100). In a possible embodiment of the invention, the commands to be executed associated with the number of touches can be stored in the memory unit (140). In another possible embodiment of the invention, the commands to be executed associated with the number of touches can also be defined and modified via the user device (200). Thus, the decorative device (100) is enabled to respond in accordance with predefined touch scenarios. For example, the programmed control mechanism of the decorative device (100) can be configured to associate each detected touch with a specific command. Accordingly, when the decorative device (100) is touched once, the light source (161 ) may be activated; when touched twice, a drive mechanism (171 ) may be actuated; and when touched three times, the playback of an sound file stored in the memory unit (140) may be triggered via the sound emitting unit (120). Thus, each touch is processed based on a predetermined and encoded set of rules, and the decorative device (100) is enabled to respond in accordance with different touch scenarios.
[0051] In a possible embodiment of the invention, a single touch, double touch, and triple touch on the decorative device (100) may correspond to the sequential detection of individual touch actions within specific time intervals. That is, when a single touch is performed, it is processed as a first command, while a second touch occurring shortly thereafter is interpreted as a second command. Similarly, the occurrence of a third touch results in the detection of three consecutive touch actions and triggers a third command.
[0052] The processor unit (130), based on the contact state data, enables the activation of a first switching element (160) for activating at least one light source (161 ) in case it is determined that the decorative device (100) has been touched once. The first switching element (160) may be a relay, a transistor circuit, or an electronic switching circuit. In this way, the user can easily turn on the light source (161 ) simply by touching the surface of the decorative device (100), enabling interactive control of the decorative device (100). Controlling the light through touch gestures enhances the functionality of the device by offering an aesthetic and modern usage without the need for physical buttons. Additionally, the light source (161 ) can be programmed to operate at different levels or in different colors based on various touch combinations, thereby offering a customizable lighting experience according to the user's preferences.
[0053] In a possible embodiment of the invention, the processor unit (130), based on the contact state data, enables the activation of a second switching element (170) to operate a drive mechanism (171 ) in case it is determined that the decorative device (100) has been touched twice. The second switching element (170) may be a relay, a MOSFET, or an electromechanical switch. In this way, the user can activate the internal mechanism of the device by performing a double touch, allowing the decorative device (100) to offer a dynamic experience. For example, since the drive mechanism (171 ) includes a stirring propeller, the movement of the snowflakes inside the snow globe can be achieved through a double touch. Thus, the decorative device (100), beyond being merely a visual decorative element, gains an interactive structure by offering a more vivid and aesthetic experience based on user interaction.
[0054] In a possible embodiment of the invention, the processor unit (130), based on the contact state data, enables the activation of the sound emitting unit (120) for playing at least one sound file stored in a memory unit (140) in case it is determined that the decorative device (100) has been touched three times. In this way, the user can play sound files such as tales, lullabies, or music stored in the device’s memory simply by a touch gesture, and can activate the auditory features of the decorative device (100). The sound emitting unit (120) processes the sound data received from the memory unit (140) and transmits it to the external environment through a speaker, thereby allowing the device to provide a personalized experience to the user. Additionally, by creating different playback scenarios based on the type or order of the sound files, the device is enabled to offer an interactive and entertaining usage.
[0055] In a possible embodiment of the invention, the operation pattern of the decorative device (100) can be modified based on the contact state data. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the function to be triggered in association with the number of touches can be programmed according to user preferences or predefined different scenarios. For example, instead of activating the light source (161 ) on the first touch, the playback of a sound file may be enabled; the light source (161 ) may be activated on the second touch; or the drive mechanism (171 ) may be operated on the third touch. This allows for the creation of different combinations according to user needs. Thus, the device can be adapted to various usage scenarios without being bound to a specific standard operation sequence, and it can be programmed according to different interaction models.
[0056] An example working scenario of the invention is given below;
[0057] A mother uses this decorative device (100) to create a relaxing and interactive environment for her newborn baby. The decorative device (100) is a snow globe. While putting her baby to sleep at night, the mother records a lullaby in her own voice into the memory unit (140) of the snow globe. Subsequently, by touching the touch- sensitive surface of the snow globe once, she activates the light source (161 ) and creates a gentle illumination. To relaxing her baby, the mother can touch the touch- sensitive surface of the snow globe twice to activate the drive mechanism (171 ) inside the snow globe.
[0058] In this way, the stirring propeller is activated, allowing the snowflakes to gently drift. This movement, operating in synchronization with the light source (161 ), creates a calming atmosphere in the room. The soft light provides a supportive environment for the baby's sleep.
[0059] The mother can start playing the previously recorded lullaby by touching the surface of the snow globe three times. Hearing the familiar and comforting voice helps the baby relax more quickly and fall asleep. Additionally, the mother can reduce the volume of the sound coming from the snow globe via her smartphone, allowing the lullaby to continue playing at a lower volume.
[0060] During the later hours of the night, when the baby begins to cry, the processor unit (130) of the snow globe detects the baby's crying through the sound receiving unit (1 10). The artificial intelligence model analyzes the ambient sounds to identify the crying sound without false alarms and automatically starts playing the lullaby again.
[0061] Additionally, a notification can be sent to the mother's smartphone, informing her that the baby has woken up. In this way, the mother can, if desired, change the sound file via the device’s mobile application, increase the light intensity, or select a different melody to help soothe the baby.
[0062] As a result, this interactive system ensures the comfort of the baby and helps to make the baby’s sleep pattern healthier. The snow globe can be customized according to the needs of parents thanks to its user-friendly touch controls and wireless connectivity features, offering a modern caregiving experience.
