Abstract:
1. A system for visually communicating a relationship status of a user to other persons, said system comprising: a relationship bracelet configured for wearable deployment by a user, said relationship bracelet comprising a magnet movable repeatedly by a user to within and away from close proximity of said magnetically operated switch to thereby repeatedly cycle said magnetically operated switch to repeatedly provide a signal that causes said electronic circuit assembly to serially advance through, and activate each of, a sequence of modes, illuminated on said relationship bracelet by said light emitting configuration, that includes at least said first and second light-emitting modes and also a no-light-emitting mode respectively signifying said first relationship status of the user, said second relationship status of the user, and a deactivated status of said bracelet; wherein a given one of said respective modes of said sequence once activated persists until terminated by said electronic circuit assembly serially advancing to, and activating, the next one of said respective modes of said sequence in response to a repetition of the movement of said magnet by the user to within and away from said close proximity of said magnetically operated switch.
