Abstract
A communications system has first and second units whereby, when a user changes the physical state of the first unit, a message is sent to the second unit to cause the second unit to change to the same state. This change in state can be, for example, a physical squeezing movement or a change in color.
Claims16
A communications system comprising:
- a first bracelet for a user to wear that can sense a contraction when squeezed around the user, and including a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting a signal indicating that the bracelet has been squeezed;
- the first bracelet further including a receiver for receiving a signal and for contracting around the user in response to the received signal.
A method comprising:
- a first bracelet sensing a contraction of the bracelet around the wearer;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting a signal indicative of the contraction of the bracelet.
