APPARATUS THAT CONNECTS WIRELESSLY TO A CELL PHONE VIA BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL RINGING SOUND AND VISUAL ALERT UPON AN INCOMING CALL
First Claim
1. An auxiliary alert device for a mobile communication apparatus, comprising:
- a housing; and
a control circuit disposed in the housing, the control circuit comprising;
a microprocessor;
sound and light emitting components; and
a Bluetooth module, the Bluetooth module and the sound and light emitting components coupled to the microprocessor, the Bluetooth module enabling Bluetooth communication with the mobile communication apparatus, the sound and light emitting components emitting sound and/or light to alert a user of an incoming call on the mobile communication apparatus;
wherein the control circuit is user programmable to emit a warning sound and/or light to prevent the mobile communication apparatus from going out of transmission range with the auxiliary alert device to avoid Bluetooth signal interruption.

Abstract
An auxiliary sound/light indicating device includes a housing, in which a control circuit composed of a microcontroller, an MP3 player, a light-emitting element, and a Bluetooth module is provided. The auxiliary sound/light indicating device is wirelessly connected to a mobile communication apparatus via Bluetooth connection. The microcontroller controls the emission of sound and light, enables ringing sound programming and caller ID display setting. Through the Bluetooth connection, the auxiliary sound/light indicating device can emit sound and/or light to inform a user of an incoming call on the mobile transmission apparatus and display the caller ID, allowing the user to decide whether to answer or reject the incoming call. And, when the mobile communication apparatus is out of an effective Bluetooth transmission range and the Bluetooth connection is interrupted, the auxiliary sound/light indicating device emits warning sound and/or light to remind the user of possible loss of the mobile communication apparatus.
