Luminescent signaling displays utilizing a wireless mobile communication device
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture comprisinga machine accessible medium having instructions encoded therein, the instructions, when executed by a wireless mobile communication device having a plurality of light sources (LS) disposed on an exterior surface of a selected one of the article and the wireless mobile communication device, selectively activates the LS in a spatial movement dependent manner, while the wireless mobile communication device is being spatially moved, to effectuate spatial painting of luminescent images, wherein the article is an interchangeable covering of the wireless mobile communication device.

Abstract
The present invention includes a wireless mobile communication device with a body casing having an exterior surface, and a number of light sources (LS) disposed on the exterior surface. A machine accessible medium is provided with instructions to selectively activate the number of LS in a spatial movement dependent manner to spatially paint luminescent images. Additionally, a processor is coupled to the machine accessible medium to execute the instructions. As a result, spatial painting of luminescent images utilizing a wireless mobile communication device is facilitated.

9. A method comprising:
-
retrieving stored data indicative of a luminescent image to be spatially painted in a spatial movement dependent manner utilizing a plurality of light sources (LS) disposed on an exterior surface of a body casing of a wireless mobile communication device, while the wireless mobile communication device is spatially moved;
determining timing information for activating and deactivating the plurality of LS based at least in part on the spatial movement of the wireless mobile communication device, wherein said determining of timing information comprises detecting if an accelerometer is present; and
selectively activating and deactivating the plurality of LS in accordance with the determined timing information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
