Method and apparatus for composing an illumination pattern
First Claim
1. A portable device comprising:
- a user interface capable of receiving a user input, wherein the user input is directed to the selection of one of a plurality of illumination regions and selected illumination timing for each selected illumination region and the user interface thereupon generates an input signal; and
a processor operably coupled to receive the input signal and thereupon generate an illumination pattern among the selected illumination regions, wherein the illumination pattern is associated with one portable device action.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for composing an illumination pattern includes a user interface (102) capable of receiving input commands (106), wherein the input commands (106) are directed to the selection of at least one illumination region (148, 150, 152 and 154). The method and apparatus further includes a processor (104) coupled to the user interface (102) to receive the user input (106) and thereupon generate input signals (108), which provided to the processor (104). The processor (104), in response to the input signals (108) thereupon generates an illumination pattern, wherein illumination pattern includes a plurality of illumination commands for a selected region (240), a selected color (244) for the selected region (240), and a timing (246) for the illumination of the selected region (240) at the selected color (244).
