Mobile communicator with orientation detector
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device adapted to communicate with a plurality of pre-determined sources disposed at pre-determined different locations, comprising:
- an identification code;
a receiver adapted to receive wirelessly communicated information from a particular source at a pre-determined location;
an orientation detector that detects the orientation of the receiver relative to the pre-determined location of the particular source to provide an orientation signal indicating that the mobile communication device is oriented toward the predetermined location of the particular source;
an interface circuit responsive to the wirelessly communicated information and the orientation signal to register the identification code with the particular source; and
a display for displaying at least a portion of the received wirelessly communicated information overlaid on a scene corresponding to the orientation of the mobile communication device.

Abstract
A mobile communication device adapted to communicate with a plurality of pre-determined sources disposed at pre-determined different locations includes an identification code, a receiver adapted to receive wirelessly communicated information from a particular source at a pre-determined location, an orientation detector that detects the orientation of the receiver relative to the pre-determined location of the particular source to provide an orientation signal indicating that the mobile communication device is oriented toward the predetermined location of the particular source, and an interface circuit responsive to the wirelessly communicated information and the orientation signal to register the identification code with the particular source.

23. A method of communicating with a plurality of pre-determined sources disposed at pre-determined different locations, comprising:
-
providing a mobile communication device that includes an identification code, a receiver adapted to receive wirelessly communicated information from a particular source at a predetermined location, an orientation detector that detects the orientation of the receiver relative to the predetermined location of the particular source to provide an orientation signal indicating that the mobile communication device is oriented towards the predetermined location of the particular source, an interface circuit responsive to the wirelessly communicated information and the orientation signal to register the identification code with the particular source, and a display for displaying the received wirelessly communicated information overlaid on a scene corresponding to the orientation of the mobile communication device; using the receiver to receive wirelessly communicated information from the particular source location; using the interface circuit to transmit the identification code when the mobile communication device is oriented towards the source location; and displaying at least a portion of the received wirelessly communicated information overlaid on a scene corresponding to the orientation of the mobile communication device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
