Abstract

The present invention discloses a communication device capable of setting a mood mode and a method for sending and receiving a mood mode by the communication device, that a communication device can independently use a low power transceiver module of the communication device to receive or send a mood from or to any other communication device having the same mood, and the communication device can be set up with a specified mood mode in a simple manner, such that one user of a communication device can easily find another user of another communication device having the same mood within the range of a short distance.

Claims

1. A communication device capable of setting a mood mode, comprising:

components for a communication,

a control module, for controlling the operation of said each component;

a mood editing and comparing module, coupled to and used by said control module to produce a mood editing interface on a display screen installed on said communication device, output a plurality of mood modes on said display screen and record one of said mood mode selected as a specified mood mode;

a mood display module, coupled to said control module and outputting a mood display message thereon according to said specified mood mode;

a low power transceiver module, coupled to said control module and said mood display module and used by said control module to convert said specified mood mode into a specified mood signal and convert an external specified mood signal into an external specified mood mode; and

an antenna, coupled to said low power transceiver module for sending said specified mood signal or receiving said external specified mood signal;

said mood display module outputs a match message after said mood editing and comparing module compares and determines that said specified mood mode and said external specified mood mode belong to the same mood mode.

2. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said mood display module is disposed on said communication device and at a position easy to be observed or easy to output messages.

3. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said mood display module is disposed at a position around the periphery of said display screen.

4. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said mood display module is an area display set on said display screen.

5. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said each mood mode comprises a mood index field, a mood status field, and a mood display field, said mood index field is a number, a symbol, or a color, said mood status field is a mood description, and said mood display field is the same as a mood display message outputted after said each mood mode is selected and recorded as said specified mood mode, or said mood display field is a symbol or a color.

6. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said mood display message is an image, a text, a color, or a figure.

7. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said match message is an image, a text, a color, or a figure.

8. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said mood display message is a combination of an image, a text, a color, or a figure.

9. The communication device of claim 2, wherein said match message is a combination of an image, a text, a color, or a figure.

10. A method for sending and receiving a mood mode by a communication device having a control module to proceed with a procedure comprising the steps of:

using a mood editing and comparing module of said communication device to produce a mood editing interface, and enabling said mood editing interface to display a plurality of mood modes on a display screen of said communication device and receive a mood mode being selected and set as a specified mood mode;

using a mood display module of said communication device to output a mood display message according to said specified mood mode;

enabling a low power transceiver module of said communication device to convert said specified mood mode into a specified mood signal and send said specified mood signal out through an antenna of said communication device; and

using said antenna to receive an external specified mood signal, after said specified mood mode is set;

enabling said low power transceiver module to convert said external specified mood signal into an external specified mood mode;

enabling said mood display module to output a match message, if said mood editing and comparing module compares and determines that said specified mood mode and said external specified mood mode belong to the same mood mode.
