Abstract
A package amusement device for producing sound or light upon interaction with a package, comprising: packaging material, a detection apparatus coupled with the packaging material for detecting interaction with the packaging material, a microprocessor apparatus coupled to the packaging material and electronically connected to the detection apparatus for generating a pre-programmed signal with respect to the type of interaction, an amplifying apparatus electronically connected to the microprocessor for amplifying the signal from the microprocessor, and a sense-detectible signal generating apparatus electronically connected to said amplifying apparatus.
Claims22
A package amusement device comprising:
- a packaging means for packaging a gift, said packaging means selected from the group consisting of at least one of:
