1. A method to enable or elicit a behavioral response in a receiving device, the method comprising:

  • transmitting from a transmitter device an encoded simplex communication signal;

    receiving, at a first receiver device different from the transmitting device, the encoded simplex communication signal, the simplex communication signal including an event identifier and a source identifier, the event identifier being an announcement of an event of the transmitting device, the source identifier identifying a source of the signal;

    determining whether the source identifier is valid, and if valid,referencing a stored program in the receiver device to a stored program block in response to the source identifier;

    initiating execution of the program block; and

    rendering a behavioral response corresponding to the simplex communication signal and the program block, the behavioral response being at least one of audible sound, physical movement and illumination,wherein the receiving device does not transmit a signal to the transmitting device.
