Abstract
An apparatus having an embedded processor in a substrate for creating a synchronous lighting effect at a controlled access venue and a method for creating a lighting effect at a controlled access venue while controlling access to the venue simultaneously using the apparatus that coordinates with the performance allowing a holder of the apparatus to perform with the performance.
Claims20
An apparatus for creating a lighting effect in a controlled access venue, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- a. a flexible substrate comprising at least one of:
- a stiff paper, a flexible crystalline plastic, a cardboard sheet, a thin aluminum plate, a flexible metal plate, a rubberized plate or a 2 millimeter thin plate of a flexible and shape supporting synthetic material;
- b. a power source connected with the substrate, wherein the power source is a DC battery, a lithium ion battery, a printable battery, a solar cell battery, any commercially available battery, or combinations thereof;
- c. at least one light emitting device electrically connected to the power source, wherein the at least one light emitting device is configured to provide a lighting effect, wherein the at least one light emitting device is a light emitting diode (LED), a fluorescent light, a halogen light, a neon light, an organic light emitting diode, a luminescent or combinations thereof;
- d. a controller disposed in the flexible substrate, wherein the controller comprises a processor and a data storage;
- and
- e. a network transmitter in communication with a network and the controller, wherein the network transmitter transmits telemetry messages to the controller.

A method for creating a lighting effect in a controlled access venue comprising:
- a. providing an apparatus for creating the lighting effect in the controlled access venue, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- (i) a flexible substrate comprising at least one of:
- a stiff paper, a flexible crystalline plastic, a cardboard sheet, a thin aluminum plate, a flexible metal plate, a rubberized plate or a 2 millimeter thin plate of a flexible and shape supporting synthetic material;
- (ii) a power source connected with the substrate, wherein the power source is a DC battery, a lithium ion battery, a printable battery, a solar cell battery, any commercially available battery, or combinations thereof;
- (iii) at least one light emitting device electrically connected to a power source, wherein the at least one light emitting device is configured to provide a lighting effect, wherein the at least one light emitting device is a light emitting diode (LED), a fluorescent light, a halogen light, a neon light, an organic light emitting diode, a luminescent or combinations thereof;
- (iv) a controller disposed in the flexible substrate, wherein the controller comprises a processor and a data storage;
- and
- (v) a network transmitter in communication with a network and the controller, wherein the network transmitter transmits telemetry messages to the controller;
- and
- b. providing a first set of apparatus to a first set of attendees and providing a second set of apparatus which are configured to respond to different telemetry than the first set of apparatus to a second set of attendees.
