Abstract
A system and method for a secure programmable communicator is described which can provide the basis for an improved child communicator, an improved sports person communicator, as well as providing a telecommunications capability to a games console plug-in. In one embodiment, the secure programmable communicator platform is integrated with an enclosing structure comprising a movable arm to embody the essential design of a climber'"'"'s carabiner safety clip making possible that the device can be securely locked to an article of clothing, or to a rucksack, or to a rigid structure such as a bicycle, or to inventory casing. In different embodiments, the platform comprises a display and a memory containing a library of emoticon image elements, which can be exchanged by telecommunications messages and or by infrared light thereby providing the means to personalise the display and to share emoticons with similar devices.
