Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods for providing transmission and localized reception of audio, visual, and tactile signaling are taught for a myriad of useful purposes, including embodiments that permit differentiation between selected groups of intended recipients to permit simultaneous use of multiple instances of this technology in close proximity, if desired.
Claims20
An electronic communication method comprising steps of:
- A. transmitting, by at least one first signaling device, a first signal comprising one or more first configuration element(s) selected by a user;
- B. directly receiving, by at least one first receiving device, said first signal;
- C. electronically comparing, by said at least one first receiving device, said first configuration element(s) with one or more second configuration element(s) selected by a user;
- and
- D. generating, by said at least one first receiving device, an activation response if and only if at least one of said first configuration element(s) is identical to at least one of said second configuration element(s).
An electronic communication system comprising:
- A. at least one first signaling device (i) comprising one or more first configuration element(s) selected by a user and (ii) configured to transmit a first signal comprising said one or more first configuration element(s), and;
- B. at least one first receiving device (i) comprising one or more second configuration element(s) selected by a user and (ii) capable of directly receiving said first signal comprising said one or more first configuration element(s);
- wherein said first receiving device is configured to provide an activation response only when said received first signal comprises at least one of said one or more second configuration element(s).
An electronic communication method wherein a receiving device comprising at one or more user-selected configuration element(s):
- A. provides an activation response whenever a received signal comprises at least one of said one or more configuration element(s);
- and
- B. does not provide an activation response when a signal received from a signaling device does not comprise at least one of said one or more configuration element(s).
