Abstract: The invention pertains to electronic devices capable of dynamically changing their ornamental or decorative appearance, i.e., the outer appearance as seen by a user. The electronic devices generally include an illuminable housing. The illuminable housing, which includes at least one wall configured for the passage of light, is configured to enclose, cover and protect a light arrangement as well as functional components of the electronic device. The light arrangement, which generally includes one or more light sources, is configured to produce light for transmission through the light passing wall(s) of the illuminable housing. The transmitted light illuminates the wall(s) thus giving the wall a new appearance. That is, the transmitted light effectively alters the ornamental or decorative appearance of the electronic device.; In most cases, the light is controlled so as to produce a light effect having specific characteristics or attributes. As such, the electronic device may be configured to provide additional feedback to the user of the electronic device and to give users the ability to personalize or change the look of their electronic device on an on-going basis. That is, a housing of the electronic device is active rather than passive, i.e., the housing has the ability to adapt and change. For example, the light may be used to exhibit a housing behavior that reflects the desires or moods of the user, that reflects inputs or outputs for the electronic device, or that reacts to tasks or events associated with operation of the electronic device.

Abstract: A communication unit (110, 120) for playing a game with a second remote communication unit includes a receiver, for receiving a gaming message (210) that includes challenge data to initiate a contest with the second remote communication unit. The communication unit (110, 120) includes a processor containing gaming software for extracting the challenge data from the gaming message. The processor processes response data relating to the challenge, either input by a user of the communication unit or stored in a memory element of the communication unit, and determines an outcome of the contest based on the received challenge data and the response data. In this manner, a communication unit participating in a game, either as challenger or opponent, is enabled to determine the outcome of the contest based on receipt of a single gaming message, namely the received challenge data and any contest (opponent) data generated by a user or stored within the communication unit.

Abstract: A method and a system of providing information transfer between at least one data unit and a central server. A data unit in an area within which at least partly two different communication means have an overlapping coverage, transfer information with the central server by means of one of these communication means. Selection of the communication means is done from a plurality of parameters governed by a data unit profile. The central server in turn will in most applications be interconnected to one or more users and their applications by means of a further communication network, such as the internet. A user will thus communicate with the central server by means of a single communication network and method even though several different communication networks and methods are used for information transfer to and from the data unit or units.
