## Abstract

An event notification system can include first and signalers and a flasher. Each signaler can wirelessly transmit an identifier associated therewith. The flasher can receive an identifier from each signaler indicating respective events, and cause a light source to display from at least two colors a particular color associated with the identifier. The at least two colors are red-green and/or blue-yellow color-blind friendly.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multi event notification system, comprising:
a first signaler having a first wireless transmitter configured to send a first identifier associated with said first signaler, and a first actuator configured to cause the first wireless transmitter to wirelessly send the first identifier;
a second signaler having a second wireless transmitter configured to send a second identifier associated with said second signaler, and a second actuator configured to cause the second wireless transmitter to wirelessly send the second identifier;
a flasher having a wireless receiver, a light emitting device configured to selectively display at least two different colors, a computer memory having stored therein a first signaler profile associated with the first identifier and including a first color of the at least two colors, and a second signaler profile associated with the second identifier and including a second color of the at least two colors;
wherein upon receipt of the first identifier, said flasher references the first color based on the first identifier and causes the light emitting device to display the first color, upon receipt of the second identifier, said flasher references the second color based on the second identifier and causes the light emitting device to display the second color, and the first and second colors are at least one of red-green color-blind friendly and blue-yellow color-blind friendly.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are red-green color-blind friendly.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are blue-yellow color-blind friendly.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are protanomaly friendly.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are protanopia friendly.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are deuteranomaly friendly.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are deuteranopia friendly.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are tritanomaly friendly.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first and second colors are tritanopia friendly.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the first actuator is a manual switch configured to actuate upon closing of the switch.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The notification system of claim 10, wherein the second actuator is a telephone interface configured to actuate upon receipt of an incoming phone call signal.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein the second actuator is a telephone interface configured to actuate upon receipt of an incoming phone call signal.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The notification system of claim 1, wherein said flasher further includes an audible device configured to selectively produce at least two different sounds, the first signaler profile further including first sound of the at least two sounds, the second signaler profile further including a second sound of the at least two sounds, and upon receipt of the first identifier, said flasher references the first sound based on the first identifier and causes the audible device to produce the first sound, and upon receipt of the second identifier, said flasher references the second sound based on the second identifier and causes the audible device to produce the second sound.

### Claim 14

A method of multi event notification using at least two color-blind friendly colors, comprising:
receiving a particular one of two identifiers from a particular one of two signalers;
referencing from a computer memory a particular one of the at least two color-blind friendly colors associated with the particular identifier; and
causing a light emitting device to display the particular color;
wherein the particular color is at least one of red-green color-blind friendly and blue-yellow color-blind friendly.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is red-green color-blind friendly.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is blue-yellow color-blind friendly.

### Claim 17 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is protanomaly friendly.

### Claim 18 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is protanopia friendly.

### Claim 19 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is deuteranomaly friendly.

### Claim 20 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is deuteranopia friendly.

### Claim 21 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is tritanomaly friendly.

### Claim 22 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the particular color is tritanopia friendly.
