Luminescent and illumination signaling displays utilizing a mobile communication device with laser
First Claim
1. A wireless mobile communication device comprising:
- a body casing defining an interior space, and having a photonic opening;
a transmit/receive section to transmit and receive communication signals;
first one or more light sources (LS) disposed in the defined interior space to contribute to outputting a first light pulse through the photonic opening of the body casing, when selectively activated/deactivated in one or more operational modes, the first one or more LS being directly or indirectly optically aligned with the photonic opening of the body casing, to facilitate emitting of the first light pulse, during the one or more operational modes;
storage medium having instructions stored therein designed to selectively activate/deactivate the one or more LS to contribute to outputting the first light pulse; and
a processor coupled to the one or more LS and the storage medium to execute the instructions during the one or more operational modes.

Abstract
A wireless mobile communication device is provided with a light source arrangement configured to be able to output at least one of a steady or sweeping light pulse. The former may be used as a light pointer. The later may be used to facilitate spatial painting of illumination images. In various embodiments, the light source arrangement may include one or more collimated light sources and optionally, one or more mirrors, optically aligned and/or operated in a complementary manner. Further, the device is provided with instructions designed to selectively hold steady or operate the light source(s) and/or the mirror(s) in the complementary manner, activating/deactivating the LS to paint a line (row/column) of pixels in one direction, in accordance with the row/column of a bitmap of an illumination image to be painted, as the device is moved in another complementary direction.
