Abstract
A light up backpack device is disclosed for easily identifying the user and improving their safety. The light up backpack device comprises a body component that is configured in a conventional backpack shape with a plurality of LEDs secured to an exterior surface. The plurality of LEDs are controlled with a Bluetooth remote control and can change colors and the pulse of the LEDs. The light up backpack device helps keep the user safe by illuminating them on the side of the road when waiting for a school bus or other ride. The device may also be made for others to improve their safety, such as hikers and motorcyclists, etc.

A light up backpack device that provides a user with an illuminating backpack to maintain safety for a user, the light up backpack device comprising:
- a body component configured as a conventional backpack shape;
- and
- a light component;
- wherein the light component is secured to an exterior surface of the body component;
- wherein the light component is powered by a power source secured within the body component and in communication with the light component via at least one wire;
- and
- further wherein the light component illuminates an exterior of the body component to keep a user safe when in low-light conditions.
A light up backpack device that provides a user with an illuminating backpack to maintain safety for a user, the light up backpack device comprising:
- a body component configured as a conventional backpack shape;
- a light component comprises a plurality of LEDs which are in communication with a power pack component;
- and
- a power pack component comprising a microprocessor, at least one power source, a control switch, a transformer, a receiver, and at least one sensor, all for powering and controlling the plurality of LEDs;
- wherein the light component is secured to an exterior surface of the body component;
- wherein the light component is powered by a power source secured within the body component and in communication with the light component via at least one wire;
- wherein the light component illuminates an exterior of the body component to keep a user safe when in low-light conditions;
- wherein at least one power source is a battery;
- wherein the transformer converts DC voltage from the battery to a usable DC voltage for the plurality of LEDs;
- wherein the plurality of LEDs are secured to a printed circuit board (PCB);
- wherein the control switch manually controls the plurality of LEDs off/on;
- wherein the power pack component comprises a light sensor that communicates with the plurality of LEDs to turn off/on the LEDs when ambient light is detected/not detected for a predetermined period of time;
- wherein the power pack component comprises a motion sensor that is an impact sensor for detecting impact motion, such as walking, wherein the motion sensor communicates with the plurality of LEDs to turn off/on the LEDs after a predetermined period of time of detecting substantially no motion/motion;
- and
- further wherein the power pack component comprises a receiver used to communicate with a remote control, which then communicates with the microprocessor to control color and pulse of the plurality of LEDs.
A method of illuminating a backpack to maintain safety for a user, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a light up backpack device comprising a body component and a plurality of LEDs secured to an exterior surface;
- powering the plurality of LEDs;
- turning on the plurality of LEDs for use;
- controlling the plurality of LEDs via a remote control to change colors and/or pulse the LEDs;
- and
- wearing the illuminated backpack to maintain safety for the user.
