RU41585U1 - ELECTRONIC BEADS (OPTIONS) - Google Patents

Abstract

Usage: the utility model relates to religious objects and can be used as a rosary for counting prayers, mantras, nods. The essence of the utility model: for ease of wearing and use, the case is designed in the form of a key fob, in which, in the first implementation, an electronic circuit, an “increase by 1” button, a “reset by 0” button, a power source, an indication indicator and, possibly, are placed feedback element. In the second implementation of the device, in contrast to the first, the indicator is made in the form of a separate device.

Description

The utility model relates to religious objects, namely, rosary. Traditional beads, in the form of a string with beads, are used by followers of various faiths - Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. - for counting prayers, mantras and bows read.

Known electronic beads described in patents for utility models No. 36606 and No. 36180. This device allows you to keep track of prayers read, and in comparison with traditional prayer beads, it has several advantages:

- greater accuracy

- smaller sizes

- ease of use

The technical result, the achievement of which this utility model is directed, is ease of use by changing the shape and size of a known device.

The electrical circuit of the utility model is shown in figure 1. The diagram shows the following parts:

1 - power supply

2 - button "increase by 1"

3 - button "reset to 0"

4 - an electronic circuit for storing readings and receiving / transmitting data (e.g., via a radio channel or IR radiation)

5 - an indicator for visualizing the readings of electronic beads (e.g., LCD indicator) and an electronic circuit for receiving and transmitting data (e.g., via a radio channel or IR radiation)

6 - feedback element, notifying the user of the utility model that the readings of the device are multiples of 10, 100, 1000; the alert may be an electrical impulse or vibration

Two constructive implementations of the proposed device are possible. In the first implementation, figure 2, the indicator for visualization is located inside the housing with other components of the device. In the second implementation, figure 3, the indicator is implemented as a separate device with which, the user of electronic beads, can take readings of an electronic circuit, for example, via a radio channel, inductive coupling or through an infrared port and visualize them.

The geometric shape of electronic beads has the following features. The case has the shape of a key fob measuring 30mm * 5 Ohm. The device body can easily be held in your hand or attached to the fingers or palms with an elastic band or a strap. Depending on the type of implementation, components are placed in the case with or without an indication indicator. The geometric form of the utility model is shown in figure 2 and 3 for 2 types of implementation:

10 - case

11 - power source, buttons “increase by 1” and “reset by 0”, electronic circuit and feedback element.

12 - indicator for displaying device readings and electronic circuit for receiving and transmitting data

The essential features of the proposed utility model include:

- storage in the memory of the electronic circuit of the meter reading (current number of clicks)

- increase the counter by one when you click on the button "increase by 1"

- a feedback mechanism to notify the user of electronic rosaries that the number of clicks is a multiple of 10, 100, 1000 is reset to zero by pressing the "reset to 0" button

- visualization of indications of a utility model on the indicator

- the case has the shape of a keychain, which ensures compactness, ease of wearing and use of a utility model

The technical result achieved when using the utility model is ensured by the fact that the case has the shape of a key fob. The keychain has a more convenient shape compared to the ring. It can be held in the palm of your hand or attached to the fingers.

Electronic beads work as follows. The utility model is taken in the hand or attached to the phalanges of the fingers with straps or elastic bands. At the beginning of the work, it is reset to 0 by pressing the "reset to 0" button. Further, during the day, the user of this device finger presses the “increase by 1” button, synchronously with the reading of prayers, mantras and nods. When the utility model readings are a multiple of 10, 100, or 1000, the feedback element generates a signal notifying the user of the utility model of the occurrence of the corresponding event. The feedback element directly touches the user's hand and acts on his skin by vibration or electric microdischarge. If the indicator is in the body of electronic beads, then to visualize the number of clicks, just turn on the indicator. To reduce the geometric dimensions of the indicator built into the case, it is proposed to make it single-digit, and display the readings bitwise with a time interval of 1 second. If the indicator is implemented as a separate device, then the visualization of the readings is carried out by transmitting the readings to the indicator using the transmit-receive circuit.
