Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADVISING A USER OF A WIRELESS DEVICE AS TO A CONNECTION STATUS THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004062115
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Wireless communication devices (102, 104, 106, 108, 110) include multi-state visual indicating devices (114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 126, 128) that are operable to alert users that wireless communication links or connections have been established between two or more devices. Upon establishing a connection, the wireless devices share indicia activation information (e.g., color or timing sequence information) and the multi-state visual indicating devices in the devices operate according to the indicia activation information to apprise users that the connection has been established. Activatable indicia (216, 214, 216, 218) that are preferably integral with the wireless device housings inform the device users as to the state of communication.
