Abstract
The present invention provides a digital video greeting card including video, photos and voice information as well as text, by inserting a main panel for outputting video and voice data into cards such as a greeting card, invitation card, etc. To this end, the present invention proposes a method of making the main panel thin and provides a switch for allowing the main panel to be operated according to the folding and unfolding operation of an outer cover. Further, an external data input section is formed in the video greeting card of the present invention so as to provide a function of connecting to an additional memory card, a memory device, etc. Accordingly, the present invention can provide a digital video greeting card compatible with other devices, etc.
Claims9
A digital video greeting card, comprising:
- a main panel having a memory unit, the main panel being configured to output contents stored in the memory unit in the form of video, digital images and audio;
- a housing coupled to the main panel and configured to cover a top portion of the main panel, wherein the housing includes a plurality of installation openings formed thereon so as to allow respective components of the main panel to be inserted in such a manner that the respective components protrude through the installation openings, and a plurality of incision sections formed thereon for pressing manipulation buttons of the main panel;
- a base cover fixed to bottom surfaces of the main panel and the housing which are coupled to each other;
- a manipulation cover connected to a first side of the base cover and configured to cover top surfaces of the main panel and the housing, wherein the manipulation cover includes a display section formed which corresponds to any one of the installation openings and pressing sections corresponding to the incision portions such that pressing downward on any one of the pressing sections causes a corresponding one of the incision portions to be pressed downward;
- and
- an external cover pivotably connected to an opposite side of the first side of the base cover for movement between a first position selectively covering one side of the main panel, the housing and an outer surface of the manipulation cover, wherein the main panel is actuated by unfolding the outer cover so that the output contents stored in the memory are output as video, digital images and audio.
A digital video greeting card, comprising:
- a main panel including a printed circuit board having a plurality of openings for receiving a power source, a video output, an audio output, a memory unit for storing video, digital and audio content;
- a switch pivotably movably mounted on printed circuit board between an open position activating the printed circuit board and a closed position deactivating the printed circuit board;
- a plurality of manipulation buttons disposed on the printed circuit board permitting a user to selectively control the video, digital and audio content;
- a housing for covering a top surface of the main panel, the housing including a plurality of openings sized to receive corresponding components of the main panel which protrude therethrough, and a plurality of incision sections which correspond to formed thereon for pressing manipulation buttons of the main panel;
- a first cover pivotably moveable between a closed position covering the housing and the main panel and an open position uncovering the housing and the main panel;
- and
- a second cover pivotably moveable between a closed position interrupting current flow through the main panel and an open position allowing current flow through the main panel.
A digital video greeting card, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a power source electrically connected to the PCB;
- a video output electrically connected to the PCB for providing video content;
- an audio output electrically connected to the PCB for providing audio content;
- a memory device electrically connected to the PCB for storing video, digital and audio content;
- a switch pivotably moveable between an open position activating the PCB and a closed position deactivating the PCB;
- a base cover having a surface that attaches to the PCB;
- a first cover pivotably connected to the base cover for movement between a closed position covering the housing and the main panel and an open position uncovering the housing and the main panel;
- and
- a second cover pivotably connected to the base cover for movement between a closed position selectively moving the switch to the closed position and an open position selectively moving the switch to the open position.
