Haptic device
First Claim
1. A haptic device for sending at least one message, the haptic device comprising:
- a housing;
a communication module located inside the housing;
a touchpad affixed to the housing, the touchpad capturing a movement of a user and generating a signal corresponding to the captured movement; and
a processor located inside the housing, the processor receiving the signal, analyzing the signal to determine a most probable corresponding message, and instructing the communication module to transmit one of a plurality of stored messages corresponding to the captured movement, the one of the stored messages including at least one predetermined recipient address and a message for the recipient, the most probable corresponding message being concurrently transmitted using two different wireless standards.
