Abstract:
1. A wireless mobile communication device comprising: a wireless receiver adapted to wirelessly receive audio, textual or graphics data; an input keypad having a plurality of keys to facilitate input of textual or graphics data; a plurality of externally visible light sources; a storage medium having instructions stored therein, the instructions having been designed to selectively control the receiver, the input keypad and the light sources to integrally facilitate a user to selectively communicate audibly, textually or visually with others, with the visual communication including spatial painting of luminescent images; and a processor coupled to receiver, the input keypad, the light sources and the storage medium to execute the instructions; wherein the light sources comprise a first and a second subset disposed in a first and a second complementary manner respectively, with the first disposition manner designed for perception of the first subset by another to whom the user wishes to visually communicate the textual or graphics data, and the second complementary disposition manner designed for perception of the second subset by the user while the first subset is perceived by the other; and the instructions are designed to selectively activate and deactivate selected ones of the first subset while the wireless mobile communication device is being spatially moved, to spatially paint luminescent images of textual or graphics data to be visually communicated to another, and to selectively activate and deactivate selected ones of the second subset while the wireless mobile communication device is being spatially moved, to guide the user in moving the wireless mobile communication device, the second subset spatially painting a complementary substantially legible luminescent image, when the wireless mobile communication device is being appropriately moved.
