Color and symbol coded display on a digital badge for communicating permission to approach and activate further digital content interaction

A device for color and symbol-coded signaling a first users personal attribute in a line of sight of at least a second user, said device comprising:

• a housing;
• said housing configured without a strap and to be worn on a chest of a first user, further comprising a display for line-of-sight display to any user not the first and further comprising an interface for wirelessly interacting with a mobile device of the first user;
• determining at least one personal attribute of the first user, wherein the personal attribute is at least one of the first users' affiliation or supported cause, emotional, mental, or physical state, age compliance, or physical activity status, and wherein the determination is based on an input of the first user or a device-captured input of the first user relayed through the first users mobile device and;
• and
• outputting a pre-defined color and/or symbol code on the display screen of the first users interactive badge device for line-of-sight display to at least the second user, wherein the pre-defined color and/or symbol-coded display is based on at least one of the first users input or first users device-captured input, and wherein the color and/or symbol code displayed represents a specific pre-defined personal attribute of the first user for line-of-sight display to at least the other user who is not the first user.

A system for wirelessly interacting a first users digital badge device with a second users digital badge device, said system comprising:

• a first users digital badge device;
• a second users digital badge device;
• a processor;
• a memory element with encoded instructions coupled to the processor, when implemented by said processor, configure the system to:
• interact wirelessly a mobile device of the first and second user with the first and second users digital badge device respectively, wherein said first and second user digital badge devices are configured with a housing disposed without a strap and to be worn on a chest of a first user and second user, further comprising a display for line-of-sight display to the other user;
• determine at least one personal attribute of the first user, wherein the personal attribute is at least one of the first users' affiliation or supported cause, emotional, mental, or physical state, age compliance, physical activity status, or availability for approach to initiate a digital interaction, and wherein the determination is based on an input of the first user or a device-captured input of the first user relayed through the first users mobile device;
• outputting a pre-defined color and/or symbol code on the display screen of the first users interactive badge device for line-of-sight display to at least the second user, wherein the pre-defined color and/or symbol-coded display is based on at least one of the first users input or first users device-captured input, and wherein the color and/or symbol code displayed represents a specific pre-defined personal attribute of the first user for line-of-sight display to at least the second user;
• and
• initiating a digital event or interaction between the first users digital badge device and the second users digital badge device, wherein the interaction comprises a transfer of a signal with a tag from the first users digital badge device to the second users digital badge device upon a matching of displayed color and symbol codes on each of the first and second users digital badge device, decoding the tag from the signal transferred from the first users digital badge device by the second users digital badge device, validating the signal and enabling the digital event to occur between digital badge devices.
