Articulating emotional response to messages
First Claim
1. A communication device comprising:
- a positioning system that senses a rotational input received by the communication device or an orientation of the communication device, and generates corresponding input parameter;
a processor that correlates the input parameter to an indicator message; and
a network adapter that forwards the indicator message from the communication device (first communication device) to a second communication device.

Abstract
A method (1000) and a communication device (120) for articulating an emotional response from a first user to a second user. The communication device can include a positioning system (230) that senses a rotational input received by the communication device or an orientation of the communication device, and generates corresponding input parameter. The positioning system can determine an amount of rotation of the communication device or determine the direction in which the communication device is oriented. The device also can include a processor (220) that correlates the input parameter to an indicator message (130) and a network adapter (210) that forwards the indicator message from the communication device to a second communication device (140). The indicator message can represent an emotional state of a user and can include a Chernoff face, one or more images, a sound token, a color, a vibration sequence or a text message.
