BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Technical Field of the Invention

[0001]The present invention generally relates to an enclosed space for a specific function, and more particularly to a movable booth.

Description of the Prior Art

[0002]Traditional public telephone booths have declined due to the advancement of communication technology. People seldom need to use public telephones since they can make remote calls anytime with mobile phones. The traditional telephone booths are therefore enhanced with additional functions. For example, Republic of China, Taiwan, Patent No. 176924 describes a "booth device structure for placing a telephone for decorative purposes," which is essentially an enhanced telephone booth. Another example is Republic of China, Taiwan, Patent No. M580612, which describes a "telephone booth KTV device," where a telephone booth is modified to include karaoke (KTV) functions.

[0003]While phone calls can be made with personal mobile phones, there is a still a need for network connection. In addition, the traditional telephone booths do not have antibacterial effects. This makes it easy for viruses or bacteria to remain on various items inside. Additionally, telephone booths are usually fixed in specific locations and cannot be moved, leaving room for improvement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004]The present invention discloses a novel movable booth, which includes an enclosure, a lighting device, and a wireless communication device. The enclosure comprises a top side, a bottom side, and multiple lateral sides. The lateral sides are respectively connected to the top and bottom sides, forming an enclosed space. The lighting device is installed within this enclosed space, and the wireless communication device is also set up inside the enclosed space.

[0005]The wavelength of the light from the lighting device ranges from 400 nanometers to 430 nanometers.

[0006]The wireless communication device can be a Bluetooth device, a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, or a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) device.

[0007]The enclosed space of the enclosure is equipped with a table and a chair.

[0008]This movable booth offers users better privacy and convenience, allowing them to access the internet or make calls within the enclosure's enclosed space. The wavelength of the lighting device, ranging from 400 to 430 nanometers, effectively provides an antibacterial effect within the enclosed space. Additionally, the enclosure can be manually moved to a suitable location based on actual needs.

[0009]The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.

[0010]Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015]The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

[0016]As shown in FIG. 1, a movable booth according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an enclosure 1, a lighting device 2, and a wireless communication device 3.

[0017]The enclosure 1 includes a top side 11, a bottom side 12, and multiple lateral sides 13. The lateral sides 13 are respectively connected to the top side 11and the bottom side 12, thereby forming an enclosed space 14. In the present embodiment, the enclosed space 14 is equipped with a table 4 and a chair 5. The enclosure 1 can be moved manually to a suitable location based on actual needs. A suitable location could be a more private area, such as a corner.

[0018]The lighting device 2 is installed in the enclosed space 14. The lighting device 2 is typically positioned on the top side 11 or a lateral side 13 of the enclosure 1, and it is angled to increase the illuminated area. The wavelength of the lighting device 2’s light ranges from 400 nanometers to 430 nanometers. This allows users to read inside the enclosed space 14 while also achieving an antibacterial effect within the space. The wavelength of the lighting device 2, ranging from 400 to 430 nanometers, can reduce the activity level of germs from 100 to zero without harming the user's skin cells. The lighting device 2 can be sensor-activated, with a built-in sensor and controller. The sensor detects the presence of a user in the enclosed space 14. When the sensor detects a user, the controller turns on the lighting device 2; when no user is detected, the controller turns off the lighting device 2 to save power.

[0019]The wireless communication device 3 is installed in the enclosed space 14. The wireless communication device 3 can be a Bluetooth device, a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, or a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) device. It can also be a wireless device supporting second-generation (2G), third-generation (3G), or fourth-generation (4G) mobile communication technologies. The wireless communication device 3 is used to provide wireless communication services such as access to the World Wide Web, social media, email, mobile applications, multiplayer online games, internet calls, file sharing, or streaming media services.

[0020]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a user can be seated inside the enclosed space 14 on a chair 5, where the wireless communication device 3 is placed on a table 4 to provide wireless communication services for the user. In the meantime, the lighting device 2 emits light, allowing the user to read inside the enclosed space 14 while simultaneously achieving an antibacterial effect. As shown in FIG. 3, when the user leaves the enclosed space 14, the lighting device 2 stops emitting light to conserve power. As shown in FIG. 4, the entrance of the enclosure 1 is equipped with a door to enclose the enclosed space 14, providing privacy and enhancing concealment.

[0021]The movable booth provides users with enhanced privacy and convenience, allowing them to access the internet or make calls within the enclosed space 14 of the enclosure 1. The lighting device 2 has a wavelength ranging from 400 nanometers to 430 nanometers, effectively achieving an antibacterial effect within the enclosed space 14. Additionally, the enclosure 1 can be manually moved to a suitable location based on actual needs.

[0022]While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the claims of the present invention.
