In the exterior of the multi-function pillow device of the present invention, various functions are operated by a user. For example, a plurality of buttons 60 for setting functions of a clock, an alarm, a sleeping surface, and a lighting are constituted. Based on the signals generated by operating the buttons 60 together or selectively, The power supply line 4 as the power supply line of the button 60 is operated through the mechanism 7 so that the LED 16, the watch 3 and the speaker 80 (shown in Fig. 4) Button 60 as shown in Fig.

A clock 3 generating a predetermined illuminance and a plurality of LEDs 16 are formed on the substrate 10 constituted inside the multifunction pillow device of the present invention and the LED 16 is provided under the LED 16 The light guide plate 12 is configured to disperse the light.

The light guide plate 12 has lenses 14 and 15 so that the light emitted from the LEDs 16 is simultaneously dispersed to the upper side and the left and right sides and the four sides of the light guide plate 12 have a predetermined inclination angle so as to be able to refract, A prism 13 is formed.

The LED 16 of the present invention is organically combined with the light guide plate 12 and related elements so that light generated from the LED 16 is refracted, dispersed, and reflected in all directions by the light guide plate and related elements The purpose of the invention is to perform sunset, sunrise, lighting and interior functions.

A microcomputer 20 and an electronic circuit component 11 electrically connected to the LED 16, the watch 3 and the speaker 80 are formed on a lower portion of the substrate 10, And so on are performed simultaneously or selectively.

Next, the circuit configuration of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4, the power supply circuit 40 converts commercial AC power supplied from the outside into DC power. The converted direct current power is supplied to the microcomputer 20 and peripheral circuits as an operating power source and is also connected to the external power line 5 shown in FIGS.

The clock circuit 50 drives the clock 3 for displaying the time for the sunrise function of the present invention. The time data to be displayed is transmitted to the clock 3 via the data line 51.

The time data transmitted from the clock circuit 50 to the clock 3 is also input to the microcomputer 20.

The microcomputer 20 stores the time and alarm time received from the clock circuit 50 and displayed through the clock 3 in the RAM 22 and sets the time / alarm setting button 64, which is configured in the button 60, The alarm is set based on the time stored in the RAM 22 when the user sets the time and the alarm.

4, the microcomputer 20 is connected to a speaker driver 70 for controlling driving of a speaker 80 to generate an alarm for a sunrise function, and transmits a speaker driving control signal.

The microcomputer 20 is connected to the LED controllers 90a to 90p for controlling the plurality of LEDs 16a to 16p to generate light for the sunset function through the serial data bus 91 to transmit the LED drive control signals .

The button 60 may include, for example, a time / brightness button 61, a minute / dark button 62, a color / alarm set button 63, A Dimmer / DISTOFF button 64, an ALM ON / OFF button 65 and a Sleep / Light button 66.

6 stored in the ROM 21 is controlled by the microcomputer 20 via the serial data bus 91 to the controllers 90a to 90p And the LEDs 16a to 16p emit light in the set color and brightness, respectively, under the control of the controllers 90a to 90p. As a result, the environment gradually becomes gradually darker with time.

When the alarm is set by operating the color / alarm setting button 63, the microcomputer 20 stores the alarm time in the RAM 22 as an example. 6 in which the data table of Fig. 6 stored in the ROM 21 is input to the controllers 90a to 90p through the serial data bus 91 so as to match the alarm time with the control of these controllers 90a to 90p The LEDs 16a to 16p emit light in the set color and brightness, respectively. Therefore, the environment gradually becomes brighter as time elapses.

At the same time, the microcomputer 20 sends a control signal to the speaker driver 70 so as to generate an alarm according to the time displayed on the clock 3, thereby driving the speaker 80.

Functional operation of the multifunction pillow device of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6. Fig.

Here, the function refers to the functions in which the clock setting, the alarm setting, the clock display on / off, the alarm on / off, the sleeping, and the illumination mode are selected together or selected as described above.

The sleep / sunset mode data of the data table stored in the ROM 21 is transmitted to the controllers 90a to 90p via the serial data bus 91 under the control of the microcomputer 20 when the sleep mode is selected And enters a preparatory stage for creating a sleeping atmosphere.

When a certain period of time elapses from this state, the LEDs 16a to 16p are operated so as to emit light having a color and brightness according to data of the sleep / sunset mode of the data table.

If light is emitted from the LEDs 16a to 16p to the last level of the data table as a result of the determination by the microcomputer 20 in a state in which the operation of the LEDs 16a to 16p according to the determined data is performed with the lapse of time , The power supply to the LEDs 16a to 16p is shut off to stop further light emission and return to the initial state.

On the other hand, if the light emission to the data set at the last level has not been performed yet from the LEDs 16a to 16p, the light is emitted to the data in the upper or lower table every predetermined time while determining the elapsed time. And transmits them to the controllers 90a to 90p via the serial data bus 91 to control the LEDs 16a to 16p.

The light brightness / darkness mode data of the data table is transmitted to the controllers 90a to 90p via the serial data bus 90 under the control of the microcomputer 20 when the lighting mode is selected So that the LEDs 16a to 16p emit light having a color and brightness based on the corresponding data.

At this time, the brightness of the illumination can be made lighter or darker at a predetermined time interval by operating the time / brightness button 61 and the minute / dark button 62, and the data stored in the sleep / 20 are read and are performed one step each time the buttons 61, 62 are pressed.
