Patent ID: 8256936

Claim:
An electronic candle assembly, comprising: at least one electronic candle comprising an illuminating device; a main body for supporting the at least one electronic candle; a power supply for powering the illuminating device; and a sensor system received in the main body, the sensor system comprising: at least one sensor configured for measuring a velocity of air current traveling through the illuminating device and outputting electrical signals representing the velocity value of air current; a storage unit configured for storing predetermined velocity values and corresponding predetermined modes that power the illuminating device, the predetermined modes comprising a constant powering mode, a powering-off mode and an alternating powering mode; and a processor for receiving the electrical signals and comparing the velocity of the air current with the predetermined velocity value and controlling the power supply to power the illuminating device in a predetermined mode; wherein the predetermined velocity values comprise a first value and a second value greater that the first value, when the velocity of air current is larger than the second value, the illuminating device is powered in the powering-off mode; when the velocity of air current is less than or equal to the first value, and is larger than or equal to the second value, the illuminating device is powered in the alternating powering mode; when the velocity of air current is less than the first value, the illuminating device is powered in the constant powering mode.
