Abstract

An interactive communication device, wherein the device is in communication with a second remotely located device, preferably through the use of high-speed wireless technology such as Bluetooth™, and wherein the instant invention is capable of sending and/or receiving a plurality of signals to and from the second remotely located device.

Claims

1. A method of communication comprising the steps of:

providing a first interactive personal communication device;

pairing said first device to a first apparatus in communication on at least one wireless network;

providing a second interactive device;

pairing said second interactive device to a second apparatus in communication on said at least one wireless network;

user-programming at least one desired user-programmed response to correspond to at least one signal using at least one of said first device and said first apparatus;

after user-programming the at least one desired user-programmed response, initiating communication between at least the first interactive device and the second interactive device by touching said first interactive device ;

in response to touching said first interactive device, transmitting the at least one signal from said first interactive device, through at least said first apparatus, through said second apparatus, and to said second interactive device; and

receiving the at least one signal within said second interactive device, thereby activating the at least one desired user-programmed response within said second interactive device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said signal transmitted by said first interactive device and received by said second interactive device is a radio frequency signal.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said first apparatus is a cellular telephone and said second apparatus is a cellular phone.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said first interactive device is a piece of jewelry and said second interactive device is a piece of jewelry.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said piece of jewelry further comprises at least one of a watch, a pendant, and a bracelet.

6. The method of claim 1, whereby upon receipt of the at least one signal, said second interactive device activates the at least one desired user-programmed response by at least one of illuminating, vibrating, and emitting an audible tone.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said first and second interactive devices further comprise at least one light emitting diode.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said first and second interactive devices further comprise at least one motor housed therein.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein said first and second interactive devices further comprise at least one speaker housed therein.

10. A method of communication comprising the steps of:

providing a first interactive personal communication device;

pairing said first device to a first apparatus in communication on at least one wireless network;

providing a second interactive device;

pairing said second interactive device to a second apparatus in communication on said at least one wireless network;

initiating communication between at least the first interactive device and the second interactive device by touching said first interactive device to activate transmission of the at least one signal;

filtering said signal transmission activation to prevent false signal activation; and

transmitting the at least one signal from said first interactive device, through at least said first apparatus, through said second apparatus, and to said second interactive device.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of filtering said signal transmission activation to prevent false signal activation further comprises absorbing brief pulses of energy causing a false signal activation within at least one filter.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein absorbing brief pulses of energy prevents activation of at least one response within said second interactive device.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of selecting the at least one filter based on at least one of a required current and a required voltage of at least one of a light-emitting diode, a motor, and a speaker.

14. An apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages, the apparatus comprising:

a first ornamental housing containing a first interactive communication device, the first interactive device in communication with a first apparatus via at least one wireless network;

a second ornamental housing containing a second interactive communication device, the second interactive communication device in communication with a second apparatus via at least one wireless network;

a power source and least one circuit having at least one wireless communication chip within each of the first and second interactive communication devices;

a signal transmitted from said first interactive communication device, through at least said first apparatus, through said second apparatus, and to said second interactive communication device, wherein the signal is user-programmed within at least one of the first interactive communication device and the first apparatus to correspond to at least one desired user-programmed response, and wherein signal transmission is activated through physical user-contact with said first interactive communication device; and

an activated response created by the second interactive communication device, wherein the activated response corresponds to the at least one desired user-programmed response user-programmed within the first interactive communication device.

15. The apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages of claim 14, further comprising at least one antenna in communication with the at least one wireless communication chip within each of the first and second interactive communication devices.

16. The apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages of claim 14, wherein the activated response created by the second interactive communication device is at least one of an illuminated light-emitting diode, an activated motor, and an audible tone.

17. The apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages of claim 14, further comprising a filter within the second interactive communication device and positioned between the at least one wireless communication chip and at least one of a light-emitting diode, a motor, and a speaker, wherein the filter filters a signal transmission activation of the signal transmission to prevent a false signal activation.

18. The apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages of claim 17, wherein the filter absorbs brief pulses of energy causing the false signal activation.

19. The apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages of claim 14, wherein the user-programmed signal is selected to correspond to a combination of desired user-programmed responses, wherein the combination of desired user-programmed responses include at least two of illuminating a light-emitting diode, activating a motor, and activating a speaker.

20. The apparatus for transmitting user-programed messages of claim 14, wherein the signal is user-programmed within the first apparatus to correspond to the at least one desired user-programmed response, wherein the first apparatus is a mobile telephone.
