Abstract

The Video BYBB is designed to be attached to the inside of the case or packaging of compact discs, DVD's, and other types of multimedia delivery devices. The Video BYBB is comprised of a circuit board including an audio and video memory and a battery, along with a switch, a small display screen, and either one or two speakers. The switch is a button that is slightly recessed into the case or packaging. When it is depressed with someone's finger, it activates the memory, thereby creating a sequential signal that is transformed by the speaker or speakers, into an audible sound, and transformed into video at the display, which would then deliver an audio video preview of the contents that are on the disc, an advertisement, or other. Contains other mechanical and electrical components.

Description

Description
Field of the Invention
The audio video player is programmed to play a musical or verbal and video preview. The audio video player is configured to be directly associated with CD's, DVD's, and other types of multimedia delivery and storage devices. The audio video player is activated by a button being depressed with someone's finger or by opening a front flap on the packaging.
Background of the Invention
When a disc such as a movie DVD, software, or video game is bought, there is usually no type of preview available. One must read the listed description and view the printed pictures on the case or packaging to learn what is on the disc or device. It is the same with other multimedia as well. An audio video preview of the contents would make selection much easier for the customer and would possibly increase sales within the entertainment industry.
Summary of the Invention
In order to aid in the understanding of this invention, it can be stated in essential summary that it is directed to an audio video player which is actuated by the activation of the controlling switch. The audio video player is associated with and offers an audio and video preview of CD's, DVD's and other multimedia delivery and storage devices and the such. In one configuration the audio video player can be affixed to the inside of the case or packaging of the product it is being affixed to. In another configuration the audio video player can be self contained within it's own casing, and affixed to the outer case or packaging of the product it is being affixed to, so that the audio video player can then be removed upon purchase and kept by the merchant to be reused and/or reprogrammed.
It is thus an advantage and purpose of this invention to associate an audio and video preview of the contents of the CD, DVD, or other multimedia device that it is attached to. The audio video player is activated by pressing down a button and deactivated by releasing the button, or it is activated by opening a front cover flap on the packaging of the product it is affixed to, and deactivated by closing the flap. Or the device will deactivate when allowed to finish playing.
It is then another advantage and purpose of this invention to directly couple an audio video player with the cases and/or packaging of CD's, DVD's and other types of multimedia delivery devices, with the inventions intent being to provide an audio and video preview of the contents.
It is then a further advantage and purpose of this invention to provide an audio video player which can also be self contained and thereby attached to the outside of the cases and/or packaging of CD's, DVD's, and other types of multimedia. It can then provide an audio and video preview of the contents, yet be removed by the merchant at the time of sale, to be reused and/or conveniently reprogrammed.
The features of this invention which is believed to be novel are set forth with particularity to the claims. Brief Description of Drawings
Fig. 1 is a front view of the Video BYBB audio video player actuated by pressing the button, shown installed into a see thru DVD case or package, so as to be able to view the interior components.
Fig. 2 is a front view of the Video BYBB audio video player actuated by opening the DVD or CD package's front cover flap, shown installed into a see thru DVD case or package, so as to be able to view the interior components.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the Video BYBB audio video player when assembled within it's own casing, to be affixed to the outside case or packaging of a DVD, CD, or other. This is but one possible casing design.
Fig. 4 is the same perspective view as Fig.3, except with a see thru casing so as to be able to view the interior components.
Description of Preferred Embodiments
The first preferred embodiment of this invention is generally indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. The Video BYBB audio video player and associated components 1, 2, 3, and 7 are installed into the inside cover of the case or packaging 5 of a CD, DVD, or other 4.
The Video BYBB audio video player Fig. 1 contains various electrical devices, including a battery, an audio and video memory, and an audio and video generator 2, either one or two speakers 3, which are actuated by a switch 1. The audio video player stays at rest until the actuating switch which is a slightly recessed button 1 is activated by depressing it, thereby playing an audio and video preview of the packages contents. The audio video player is deactivated by releasing the button 1 , or allowing the player to finish.
An alternate method of actuation Fig. 2 is to use a sliding switch 6 which is connected to an opening front flap which is a part of the package. When the flap is opened the switch 6 activates the audio video player. The audio video player is deactivated when the flap is closed or the player is allowed to finish.
The audio video player Figs. 1 and 2 components 1, 2, 3,and 7 will be essentially flat, with one surface being free to be glued to the inside wall of that which it is attached. As mentioned before, when using the button switch 1 , it will be slightly recessed into the case or package cover 5 to prevent unintended play. The video display 7 will be seen through a cutout in the package or case.
Another preferred embodiment of this invention is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The Video BYBB audio video player and associated components 1, 2, 3, and 7 are installed into it's own casing 8. This configuration uses all the previously stated components and provides the same benefits found with an installed unit, along with the added benefits of making it portable, reusable, reprogrammable, rechargeable, and able to be affixed to the outer case or packaging of CD's, DVD's, and other multimedia, and thereby able to be removed at the time of purchase by the merchant.
In either embodiment Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the switch 1 or 6 activates the audio video player core components 2 which sends the audio signals to the speaker or speakers 3 and the video signals to the video display 7.
