Abstract
A message presentation method and system is disclosed. The method includes receiving by a computer processor of an electrical device, data associated with a function of the electrical device. The electrical device comprises light emitting devices. The computer processor generates an identification code identifying the function, a first bit signal associated with a first bit of the identification code, and a second bit signal associated with a second bit of the identification code. The computer processor transmits the first bit signal to a first light emitting device. The first bit signal results in the first light emitting device indicating the first bit signal as a first illuminated color.
Claims19
A message presentation method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer processor of an electrical device, first data associated with a first specified function of said electrical device, wherein said electrical device comprises a plurality of light emitting devices;
- generating, by said computer processor, a first identification code identifying said first specified function;
- generating, by said computer processor, a first bit signal at a first specified level, wherein said first bit signal is associated with a first bit of said first binary identification code;
- generating, by said computer processor, a second bit signal at a second specified level differing from said first specified level, wherein said second signal is associated with a second bit of said first identification code;
- and
- transmitting, by said computer processor, said first bit signal at said first specified level to a first light emitting device of said plurality of light emitting devices resulting in said first light emitting device indicating said first bit signal as a first illuminated color, wherein said first illuminated color is independent from any specific position of bits of said first identification code.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of an electrical device implements a method comprising:
- receiving, by said computer processor, first data associated with a first specified function of said electrical device, wherein said electrical device comprises a plurality of light emitting devices;
- generating, by said computer processor, a first identification code identifying said first specified function;
- generating, by said computer processor, a first bit signal at a first specified level, wherein said first bit signal is associated with a first bit of said first binary identification code;
- generating, by said computer processor, a second bit signal at a second specified level differing from said first specified level, wherein said second signal is associated with a second bit of said first identification code;
- and
- transmitting, by said computer processor, said first bit signal at said first specified level to a first light emitting device of said plurality of light emitting devices resulting in said first light emitting device indicating said first bit signal as a first illuminated color.
An electrical device comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the computer processor implements a method comprising:
- receiving, by said computer processor, first data associated with a first specified function of said electrical device, wherein said electrical device comprises a plurality of light emitting devices;
- generating, by said computer processor, a first identification code identifying said first specified function;
- generating, by said computer processor, a first bit signal at a first specified level, wherein said first bit signal is associated with a first bit of said first binary identification code;
- generating, by said computer processor, a second bit signal at a second specified level differing from said first specified level, wherein said second signal is associated with a second bit of said first identification code;
- and
- transmitting, by said computer processor, said first bit signal at said first specified level to a first light emitting device of said plurality of light emitting devices resulting in said first light emitting device indicating said first bit signal as a first illuminated color.
