  • Patent number: 9991654
    Abstract: An intelligent electronic decoration system includes smart modular power cable (MPC) having a flexible body extending between opposed proximal and distal ends and having a plurality of spaced apart electronic ports along and perpendicular to the body, the MPC configured for powering and communicating data relative to respective ports. The system includes embedded electronics operatively coupled to the proximal end of the MPC and having a rechargeable component for energizing electronics devices electrically coupled to respective ports, a microcontroller unit, and a memory collectively positioned within the housing, the embedded electronics being configured for data interfacing with wired or wireless communication components of external electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 9796094
    Abstract: A decoration system includes a plurality of decorative covers each having a cover-to-cover fastening structure and an electrical component fastening structure. Each cover-to-cover fastening structure includes a fastening assembly for releasably connecting one of the decorative covers to a contiguously adjacent decorative cover. In other words, the decorative covers may be arranged horizontally and vertically as desired. Each electrical component fastening structure defines at least one opening that selectively receives elements of an external electrical device into an interior compartment of a respective decorative cover. The electrical component fastening structure enables a respective decorative cover to be coupled to a traditional light string having lamps, embedded LEDs, or be coupled to an MPC and related electronics.
