Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to devices and methods for facilitating the operations and usage of electronic candle devices. In one exemplary aspect, an imitation candle device is disclosed. The imitation candle device comprises a body; a flame element protruding from top of the body; one or more light sources providing illumination for the flame element to produce an appearance of a true fire flame; a tapered chamber with an opening; a sensor component positioned at an end of the tapered chamber, the sensor component operable to produce an electrical signal in response to an input signal; and an electronic control circuitry coupled to the power supply operable to: receive the electrical signal, classify the electrical signal into a category among a plurality of categories, and control at least an output of the one or more light sources based on the electrical signal and the category of the electrical signal.

Claim (Index 1):
An imitation candle device, comprising:\n a body; a flame element resembling a shape of a real fire flame; one or more light sources providing illumination for the flame element; an opening on a top surface of the body in proximity to the flame element; a sensor positioned below the top surface within the body and coupled to the opening to receive an acoustic signal, a blow of air, or a vibration, and operable to produce an electrical signal in response to the acoustic signal, the blow of air, or the vibration; and an electronic control circuitry coupled to the sensor component operable to:\n receive the electrical signal produced in response to the acoustic signal, a blow of air, or vibration, \n classify the electrical signal into a category among a plurality of categories, and \n control the one or more light sources based at least on the category of the electrical signal.
