Abstract
A handheld wireless transceiver (e.g. a “smart phone”) is claimed which has cameras in one, two, or three sides such as a left, front, and/or right side. The transceiver has a display divided vertically along a top portion thereof into three sections. Each section displays a version of output from a respectively positioned camera (left, middle, right). Depending on a detected distance of an object to each camera, an alert/alarm is indicated on the corresponding part of the screen to warn a user of the device of a collision with a nearby object, such as while walking. This display is required to be shown, in some embodiments, when one is “texting”.
