Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An electronic luminous ornamental device comprising the combination of an array of light-emission diodes for illuminating selected portions of at least one decorative member, a power source for energizing said light-emission diodes, means for generating a plurality of electrical control signals representing a desired order for energizing different portions of said array of light-emission diodes, a plurality of switching means for connecting different ones of said light-emission diodes to said power source in response to different ones of said electrical control signals whereby said different portions of said array are energized in accordance with the desired order represented by said control signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
An electronic luminous ornamental device comprising the combination of an array of light-emission diodes for illuminating selected portions of at least one decorative member, a power source for energizing said light-emission diodes, means for generating a plurality of electrical control signals representing a desired order for energizing different portions of said array of light-emission diodes, a plurality of switching means for connecting different ones of said light-emission diodes to said power source in response to different ones of said electrical control signals whereby said different portions of said array are energized in accordance with the desired order represented by said control signals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
An electronic luminous ornamental device as set forth in claim 1 which inlcudes electronic gating means responsive to different combinations of said control signals for energizing combinations of said different portions of said array in accordance with the order of said control signals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
94 words
An electronic luminous ornamental device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said means for generating said control signals includes transducer means responsive to an acoustic input for generating an electrical output signal having an electrical frequency spectrum corresponding to the acoustic frequency spectrum of said input, and electrical filtering means responsive to said output signal for producing a plurality of electrical control signals representing different bands of said frequency spectrum whereby varying portions of said array of light-emission diodes are energized in accordance with variations in the frequency spectrum of said acoustic input.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
An electronic luminous ornamental device as set forth in claim 3, which includes electronic gating means responsive to different combinations of said control signals for energizing different portions of said array of light-emission diodes in response to various combinations of the different bands of said frequency spectrum.
