Abstract

An electronic packaging box includes a receiving structure, a transmissive/reflective component, and a support structure. The receiving structure is configured to receive an electronic display device having a display screen for displaying an image by the electronic display device. The transmissive/reflective component is spatially coupled to the receiving structure such that, when the electronic display device is placed into the receiving structure, the display screen of the electronic display device faces the transmissive/reflective component. The support structure is configured to support the receiving structure and the transmissive/reflective component. Further, the transmissive/reflective component is configured to form a virtual image of the image displayed by the electronic display device placed in the receiving structure when viewed by a viewer at a viewing angle.

Claims

1. An electronic packaging box, comprising:

a receiving structure configured to receive an electronic display device having a display screen for displaying an image by the electronic display device;

a transmissive/reflective component spatially coupled to the receiving structure such that, when the electronic display device is placed on the receiving structure, the display screen of the electronic display device faces the transmissive/reflective component; and

a support structure configured to support the receiving structure and the transmissive/reflective component,

wherein the transmissive/reflective component is configured to form a virtual image of the image displayed by the electronic display device placed in the receiving structure when viewed by a viewer at a viewing angle.

2. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, wherein:

the receiving structure includes a hollow frame configured to fit the electronic display device; and

the support structure is configured to provide a space capable of containing accessories of the electronic display device.

3. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, wherein:

the transmissive/reflective component has a first end and a second end in opposite to the first end;

the receiving structure is coupled to the first end of the transmissive/reflective component; and

the support structure is movably coupled to the second end of the transmissive/reflective component by a movable connecting structure.

4. The electronic packaging box according to claim 3, wherein:

the movable connecting structure is configured to allow the receiving structure and the transmissive/reflective component to extend from the supporting structure to form a certain angle between the display screen of the electronic display device placed in the receiving structure and the transmissive/reflective component.

5. The electronic packaging box according to claim 3, wherein:

the support structure is a hollow rectangular box body;

the receiving structure is parallel to the support structure; and

the transmissive/reflective component forms two respective acute angles with the receiving structure and the support structure in a “

Z”

shape.

6. The electronic packaging box according to claim 3, wherein:

the moveable connecting structure includes a positioning shaft having a positioning protrusion;

the support structure includes a positioning sleeve having a corresponding positioning groove; and

the positioning shaft is inserted into the positioning sleeve such that the positioning protrusion is engaged in the positioning groove for connecting the transmissive/reflective component with the support structure.

7. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, wherein:

the transmissive/reflective component includes a transmissive/reflective device having a surface coating whose transmissive/reflecting ratio is adjustable according to ambient light.

8. The electronic packaging box according to claim 5, wherein:

the transmissive/reflective device is an electronically-controlled liquid crystal glass whose the transmissive/reflective ratio is adjusted by adjusting a voltage applied on the transmissive/reflective device based on changing ambient light.

9. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, further including:

a viewing angle adjusting mechanism disposed on the support structure to adjust the viewing angle.

10. The electronic packaging box according to claim 9, wherein:

the support structure includes a first portion having a slider and a second portion having a groove matching the slider, and the first portion and the second portion are coupled together to form a box body by the slider and the groove, such that the first portion and the second portion form the viewing angle adjusting mechanism to adjust the viewing angle.

11. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, wherein the support structure further includes:

a power supply for supplying power to the electronic packaging box and the electronic display device;

a pressing circuit switch coupled to the power supply to control power to the electronic display device;

a communication interface unit configured to establish a communication link between the electronic packaging box and the electronic display device; and

a display screen configured to display information related to the electronic display device.

12. The electronic packaging box according to claim 11, wherein the communication interface unit further includes at least one of a USB interface module, a WIFI module, an NFC communication module, an RFID communication module, and a Bluetooth communication module.

13. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, wherein:

the receiving structure is fixedly coupled to the support structure and disposed in the support structure; and

the support structure and the transmissive/reflective component are movably coupled together to allow the transmissive/reflective component to extend from the supporting structure to form a certain angle with the display screen of the electronic display device placed in the receiving structure.

14. The electronic packaging box according to claim 13, wherein:

the certain angle is an acute angle in a range from 30 degrees to 60 degrees.

16. The electronic packaging box according to claim 13, further including:

a reflector disposed in the support structure to reflect light from the display screen of the electronic display device to the transmissive/reflective component.

17. The electronic packaging box according to claim 1, wherein:

the receiving structure is fixedly coupled to the transmissive/reflective component such that the display screen of the electronic display device placed in the receiving structure and the transmissive/reflective component maintain a certain angle.

18. The electronic packaging box according to claim 17, wherein:
