1. A system for configurable communication, the system comprising:
- A. at least one signaling device comprising a first stored communication configuration comprising one or more first configuration elements;
B. one or more receiving device(s) comprising;
(i) one or more external stimuli generator(s); and
(ii) a second stored communication configuration comprising one or more second configuration elements;
wherein the at least one signaling device is configured to;
a. receive an activation command;
b. in response to said activation command, generate at least one signal comprising saidfirst stored communication configuration; and
c. transmit said at least one signal;
and wherein the one or more receiving device(s) are configured to;
d. directly receive the at least one signal transmitted by the at least one signaling device;
e. activate at least one of said one or more external stimuli generator(s) when said at least one signal comprises at least one of said one or more first configuration elements identical to at least one of said one or more second configuration elements; and
f. do nothing when none of said one or more first configuration elements are identical to any of said one or more second configuration elements.

11. A method for sending and receiving communications using a signaling device comprising a first communication configuration and one or more receiving device(s) comprising one or more external stimuli generator(s) and a second communication configuration, the method comprising:
-
A. storing at least one first configuration element in said first communication configuration; B. storing at least one second configuration element in said second communication configuration; C. generating, by the signaling device, a signal comprising said first communication configuration; D. transmitting, by the signaling device, the signal comprising said first communication configuration; E. directly receiving, by the one or more receiving device(s), the signal transmitted by the signaling device; and F. activating, at any of said one or more receiving device(s), at least one of the one or more external stimuli generator(s) if said received signal comprises any configuration element(s) identical to any of said at least one second configuration element(s). - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for sending and receiving communications, the system comprising:
-
A. one or more signaling device(s); B. one or more receiving device(s), each comprising one or more external stimuli generator(s); C. one or more first communication configuration(s) selectable at each of the one or more signaling device(s) and one or more second communication configuration(s) selectable at each of the one or more receiving device(s), each said communication configuration comprising at least one configuration element; wherein the system is configured to; a. generate one or more signal(s) at each of the one or more signaling device(s) comprising all of said at least one configuration element(s) of a selected first communication configuration; b. transmit said one or more signal(s) by said one or more signaling device(s) and directly receive said signal(s) by said one or more receiving device(s); and c. activate at least one of the one or more external stimuli generator(s) associated with any of the one or more signal receiving device(s) whenever at least one configuration element of the selected second communication configuration of the respective signal receiving device(s) comprise at least one element in common with the communication configuration of said signal(s). - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
