Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A communication apparatus (10a) incorporating a visual signaling device. A first cover member (12a) and a second cover member (26a) cooperate to define a communication interior having communication components therein, permitting communication of messages. Keys (14,16) are operable through one of the cover members to indicate control functions for the communication apparatus (10a). Light emitting devices (28) are visible through one of the cover members. A controller (40a) is responsive to operation of the keys to cause the light emitting devices (28) to emit light signals in a pattern indicated by the operation of the keys (14,16). An accelerometer (58) is responsive to movement of the communication apparatus to control spacing of the light signals to form a displayed light pattern.
