Illumination device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An illumination device capable of being removably coupled to a computing device, comprising:
- a case having a front side and a back side opposite the front side, the case sized to receive the computing device in a receiving area of the front side;
at least one light source disposed on at least one of the front side or the back side of the case, the at least one light source being covered by at least one light cover, the at least one light cover at least partially disposed on at least one nontransparent portion of the case and modifying an appearance of light produced by the at least one light source, the at least one light cover being at least one of transparent or translucent;
a light control mechanism configured to change at least one of an operative state or an intensity of the at least one light source; and
a power source operably coupled to the at least one light source.

Abstract
The illumination device generally has at least one light source and an attachment assembly that connects the light source to a computing device. The light source may be one or more LEDs or a light panel using electroluminescent lighting. The illumination device includes a power source coupled to the light source and a light control mechanism to change at least one of an operative state or an intensity of the light source. The illumination device may also be integrally connected to the computing device. A light cover is implemented to cover the light source and diffuse light emanating therefrom.

15. An illumination device capable of being removably coupled to a computing device, comprising:
-
a case sized to receive the computing device in a receiving area; at least one light source disposed on the case, the at least one light source being covered by at least one light cover, the at least one light cover at least partially disposed on at least one nontransparent portion of the case and modifying an appearance of light produced by the at least one light source, the at least one light cover being at least one of transparent or translucent; a light control mechanism configured to change at least one of an operative state or an intensity of the at least one light source; a power source disposed in the case operably coupled to the at least one light source; a securement mechanism that couples the computing device to the receiving area and electrically couples the computing device to the power source; and a charge control mechanism configured to control charging of the power source and an internal power source of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
