1. A method implemented on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal of a specific frequency that corresponds to a financial account status of a user;
producing an electric current based on the specific frequency;
applying the electric current to one or more color producing components on the electronic device; and
as a result of applying the electric current to the one or more color producing components of the electronic device, causing the one or more color producing components to produce a color in the electronic device,wherein the one or more color producing components comprise mechanical panels, the mechanical panels comprising a plurality of sides, each side of the plurality of panels being of a different color, andwherein the color that is produced corresponds to the financial account status of the user.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, on an electronic payment device, a radio frequency signal from a mobile electronic device. The radio frequency signal is used to control an activation of an electric current to one or more color producing components on the electronic payment device. The electric current is transmitted to the one or more color producing components. The one or more color producing components display a color when the electric current is transmitted to the color producing components.

7. An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
-
a radio frequency identification (RFID) device for receiving a signal of a specific electrical frequency that corresponds to a financial account status of a user; a power source; one or more color producing components, the one or more color producing components comprising wires or foil strips; and one or more switching components that control a selection of one or more of the wires or foil strips, wherein the one or more color producing components are activated by an electric current that is derived from the specific electrical frequency received at the RFID device, the electric current causing the one or more color producing components to produce a color that corresponds to the financial account status for the user. - View Dependent Claims (8)
