1. A system for configurable communication, the system comprising:
- A. at least one signaling device comprising a first communication configuration comprising one or more user-selectable first configuration elements;
B. at least one receiving device comprising;
(i) one or more stimuli output device(s); and
(ii) a second communication configuration comprising one or more user-selectable second configuration elements;
wherein the at least one signaling device is operable to;
a. transmit at least one signal comprising a modulated payload, said payload comprising any desired quantity of information including at least said first communication configuration;
and wherein the at least one receiving device is operable to;
b. directly receive said at least one signal;
c. demodulate said modulated payload to create a demodulated payload;
d. provide at least a portion of said demodulated payload to at least one of said one or more stimuli output device(s) when said payload comprises at least one of said one or more first configuration elements identical to at least one of said one or more second configuration elements; and
e. do nothing when said payload does not comprise any of said one or more first configuration elements identical to any of said one or more second configuration elements.

12. A method for sending and receiving communications using a signaling device comprising a first communication configuration, and a receiving device comprising one or more stimuli output device(s) and a second communication configuration, the method comprising:
-
A. storing at least one user-selectable first configuration element in said first communication configuration; B. storing at least one user-selectable second configuration element in said second communication configuration; C. transmitting, by the signaling device, a modulated payload comprising any desired quantity of information including at least said first communication configuration; D. directly receiving and demodulating, by the receiving device, said signal transmitted by the signaling device; and E. providing at least a portion of said payload to at least one of the one or more stimuli output device(s) if and only if said payload comprises any configuration element(s) identical to any of said at least one second configuration element(s). - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for sending and receiving communications, the system comprising:
-
A. one or more signaling device(s); B. one or more receiving device(s), each comprising and associated with one or more stimuli output device(s); C. one or more signaling device first communication configuration(s) and one or more receiving device second communication configuration(s), each said communication configuration comprising at least one user-selectable configuration element; wherein the system is operable to; a. transmit one or more signal(s) by any of the one or more signaling device(s) comprising a modulated payload, said payload comprising any desired quantity of information including at least one of said first communication configuration(s); b. directly receive said signal(s) and demodulate said payload by said one or more receiving device(s); and c. provide at least a portion of said demodulated payload to at least one of said one or more stimuli output device(s) associated with particular one(s) of said one or more receiving device(s) if and only if said payload comprises at least one configuration element identical to at least one configuration element in the second communication configuration of said particular one(s) of said one or more receiving device(s). - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
