Ornament with multimedia message transmission

Abstract

An ornament with multimedia messages transmission includes a shell, a camera, a displaying unit and an audio device. The shell has an image projecting area mounted with a lens. The displaying unit is arranged in the shell behind the lens for projecting images thereon. The audio device is able to play sound. The camera is arranged above the image projecting area for taking images and data are transmitted to a microprocessor. The microprocessor acquires audiovisual data from a multimedia data storage unit and transmits the data to the displaying unit and the audio device. The ornament is connected to a computer for storing the data to the computer, transmitting the data to the internet through the computer or downloading data from the computer. A plurality of buttons are used to control the operation of the camera, the audio device, the displaying unit and other functions.

1 . An ornament, comprising:
 a shell, which is provided with an opening to form an image projecting area;   a lens, which is mounted to the image projecting area of the shell;   a displaying unit, which is arranged behind the lens and which projects images forward to the lens to display images thereon;   a circuit board, which is arranged in the shell, comprising:
 a multimedia data storage unit, which is used to store a plurality of visual data; and 
 a microprocessor, which is connected to the multimedia data storage unit and the displaying unit, for acquiring visual data stored in the multimedia data storage unit, transmitting the visual data to the displaying unit and controls the displaying unit to display images. 
   
   
   
       2 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shell of the ornament is provided with at least one sound transmission hole for transmission of sound. 
   
   
       3 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the ornament further comprises an audio device which is arranged in the shell facing to the sound transmission hole for playing audio data and which is connected to the microprocessor for receiving signals from the microprocessor. 
   
   
       4 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the audio data are stored in the multimedia data storage unit and the microprocessor acquires the audio data from the multimedia data storage unit, transmits the audio data to the audio device and controls the audio device to play the sound. 
   
   
       5 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shell is perforated with an image-taking area at a predetermined position of the shell. 
   
   
       6 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the ornament further comprises a camera which is mounted to the cavity of the shell with the camera lens directing towards the image-taking area for taking pictures from the surrounding, and which is connected to the microprocessor for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the microprocessor. 
   
   
       7 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a USB slot is arranged at the shell and is connected to the microprocessor for transmission of data. 
   
   
       8 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the ornament further comprises a plurality of buttons for the user to control the ornament and the buttons are connected to the microprocessor. 
   
   
       9 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the ornament further comprises a power supply for supplying power and the power supply is connected to the microprocessor. 
   
   
       10 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the lens is a convex lens. 
   
   
       11 . The ornament as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a hanging member is arranged at a predetermined position of the shell for hanging.
