Abstract

An electronic message board assembly includes a mobile electronic device is carried by a first user. The mobile electronic device has a first transceiver and the first transceiver transmits a communication signal. The mobile electronic device stores data comprising communication software for generating an electronic message that is broadcast on the communication signal. A display unit is mounted in a building such that the display unit is visible to a second user. The display unit is in wireless electrical communication with the mobile electronic device such that the display unit receives the communication signal. Moreover, the display unit displays indicia correlating to the electronic message from the electronic device to visually communicate the electronic message to the second user. In this way the second user may receive the electronic message when the second user is not actively using a mobile electronic device.

Claims
