Abstract

A wireless light indication and control device connected with a helmet is provided. The wireless light indication and control device includes a direction detector, a wireless transmitter, and at least one light element, wherein the direction detector senses a movement of the helmet to generate a turning signal, the wireless transmitter receives the turning signal and cooperates with a frequency hopping unit and a matching unit to generate a wireless signal, and the light element includes a wireless receiver for receiving the wireless signal. As the user wears the helmet of the present invention, the light can generate warning effect based on the movement of the helmet, so as to provide the user a more comprehensive traffic safety.

Claims

1. A wireless light indication and control device, connected with a helmet, comprising:

a direction detector, mounted on the helmet, for sensing a movement of the helmet so as to generate a turning signal;

a wireless transmitter, mounted on the helmet and electrically connected with the direction detector, for receiving the turning signal and for cooperating with a frequency hopping unit and a matching unit to generate a wireless signal; and

at least one light element, having a wireless receiver for receiving the wireless signal.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light element further includes a power supply device which is one of a general battery and a solar battery.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the power supply device is a solar battery.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light element has at least two indication lights for receiving and showing the turning signal.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frequency hopping unit adopts AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping) technology.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light element is mounted on one of the helmet and a transportation.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the light element is mounted on the helmet by adhering, fastening, or engaging.

8. The device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the light element is adhered to the helmet.

9. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the light element is mounted on the transportation by adhering, fastening, or engaging.

10. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the transportation is a bicycle.
