Patent ID: 8326378

Claim:
A communication system containing two or more communication devices, the system, comprising: a first communication device, wherein the first communication device includes: a first input component, wherein the first input component is configured to only receive a single, tactile input from a first user; a first message transmission component, wherein the first message transmission component is configured to only send a first pre-defined message to a first pre-defined address associated with a second communication device in response to receiving the single input from the first user via the first input component, wherein the first pre-defined address is selected from one of multiple available addresses; a first output component, wherein the first output component is configured to only perform a single action in response to receiving a second pre-defined message from the second communication device; a first housing for at least partially enclosing the first input component, the first message transmission component, and the first output component, wherein the housing does not carry an audio input device or an audio output device; and a second communication device paired to the first communication device, wherein the second communication device includes: a second input component, wherein the second input component is configured to only receive a single, tactile input from a second user; a second message transmission component, wherein the second message transmission component is configured to only send the second pre-defined message to the first pre-defined address associated with the first communication device in response to receiving the single input from the second user via the second input component; a second output component, wherein the second output component is configured to only perform a single action in response to receiving a pre-defined message from the first communication device; and a second housing for at least partially enclosing the second input component, the second message transmission component, and the second output component, wherein the second housing does not carry an audio input device or an audio output device, wherein the first communication device is in wireless communication with a mobile device, but the first communication device is physically separate from mobile device, and, wherein the first message transmission component of the first communication device causes the mobile device to send the first pre-defined message to a pre-defined address for a mobile device associated with the second communication device.
