Gift Package With Circuit Actuating Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gift packages lack an engaging mechanism to enhance their appeal during the presentation of gifts, such as wine bottles, as they primarily rely on decorative elements without interactive features.
Innovation Solution
A gift package design incorporating a control circuit with a signal output unit and a circuit actuating unit, where the actuating unit, such as a reed switch or magnetic sensor, is activated when the lid is opened or the article is removed, enabling the control circuit to activate acoustic or light effects, enhancing the presentation experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional gift packages use only decorative elements without interactive features, then the structure remains simple and manufacturing is easy, but the appeal and engagement during gift presentation is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional components (control circuit, signal output unit, circuit actuating unit) into a single integrated gift package system. The control circuit board mounts the signal output unit and circuit actuating unit in the same package body, creating a unified structure that delivers both decorative and interactive functions without requiring separate devices or complex assembly processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The gift package is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a protective container for the gift article, a decorative presentation box, and an interactive signaling device. The circuit actuating unit can be triggered by various actions (opening the lid, removing the article), and the signal output unit can produce different effects (light, sound, or both), making the package adaptable to different gift-giving scenarios and enhancing its versatility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a control circuit with signal output unit is added to create interactive effects, then the appeal and engagement during presentation is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control circuit is divided into distinct functional modules: the circuit actuating unit (with switch or sensor), the control circuit board (with controller), and the signal output unit (with light source and/or speaker). This segmentation allows each component to be independently designed, tested, and replaced, simplifying the overall system complexity while maintaining interactive capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit actuating unit automatically detects when the gift package is opened or the article is removed and triggers the signal output unit without requiring manual intervention. The controller monitors the state of the circuit actuating unit and autonomously activates the appropriate signal (light, sound, or both), reducing the need for complex control mechanisms or user programming.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the circuit actuating unit is activated through lid opening or article removal, then the interactive experience is enhanced, but the reliability of the circuit activation may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit actuating unit serves as an intermediary between the physical action (lid opening or article removal) and the electronic response (signal output). The switch or sensor detects the mechanical state change and converts it into an electrical signal that the controller can process, ensuring reliable activation while allowing for multiple triggering methods. This intermediary component isolates the circuit from direct mechanical stress and improves activation consistency.

AI summary
A gift package includes: a box body having a partitioning plate dividing an inner space in the box body into first and second chambers and adapted to abut against an article, the box body being provided with a lid for covering and uncovering an access opening of the box body; a signal output unit mounted in the second chamber; a circuit board mounted securely in the second chamber and provided with a controller that is electrically coupled to the signal output unit for controlling activation and deactivation of the signal output unit; and a switch operable through a selected one of the lid and the article to activate the signal output unit.
