METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PATTERNING ELEMENTS HAVING TWO STATES

Title:

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PATTERNING ELEMENTS HAVING TWO STATES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/100832

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A patterning system includes transportable nodes, each having a unique identifier, and including an element having first and second states and a transceiver for receiving a element command signal. A transmitter sends a query command to the transportable nodes to validate the identifier against the database and activate validated transportable nodes to receive the signal. A controller sends the signal to activated transportable nodes to bring the plurality of nodes into one of their states to form a pattern. The controller can send pattern data to the transportable nodes, where each acts as a discrete part of an image array comprised of the transportable nodes, with each brought into one of its states in response to respective pattern data to create a pattern. Methods include receiving identifying information from the transportable nodes, verifying if they are registered for a venue, and transmitting an element command signal to registered transportable nodes to create a pattern at the venue.
