Wireless play communication wristband
First Claim
1. A play call communication system comprising:
- a wristband having a defining and adjustable opening, the wristband comprising;
an enclosure having a transparent window and at least one slot configured to accept plays, wherein the plays are slid into the enclosure via the at least one slot to be displayed via a insertion, and each play of the plays is displayed at a particular location respectively;
a microcontroller;
at least one wireless controller in communication with the microcontroller to provide transmitted one or more signals to the microcontroller;
a power supply to provide power to the microcontroller and the wireless controller; and
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) each corresponding to a particular play of the plays displayed with respect to the particular location of that play, wherein the plays are disposed between the plurality of LEDs and the transparent window once the plays have been inserted to permit the plays to be displayed via the transparent window, wherein a determined play of the plays is selectively indicated by at least one lit LED under control of the microcontroller responsive to a received command corresponding to the determined play, and wherein the microcontroller, the at least one wireless controller, the power supply, and the plurality of LEDs are entirely within the enclosure; and
a remote wireless communication device in communication with the wristband based on a selection corresponding to the determined play amongst the plays, wherein the remote wireless communication device transmits said one or more signals, and wherein the one or more signals comprise said command corresponding to said determined play to the wireless controller to select said at least one lit LED to indicate the determined play amongst the plays on the wristband via the transparent window.

Abstract
This invention is intended to strengthen play transmission between players and coaches before, and during plays.
The wristband is an elastic, or adjustable wristband with a clear plastic window and LED strips or LED matrix that lights the Light Emitting Diode (LED) next to a desired play.
The wristband is wirelessly linked to either a radio frequency panel, bluetooth device, or infrared controller. The wristband LED'"'"'s are wired to a microcontroller, Bluetooth controller (or RF transceiver, or Infrared controller), and a battery power source. The LED'"'"'s are displayed through the clear plastic window and the plays are slid over the top of the LED'"'"'s. The micro controller, battery and wireless controller are contained in a velcro-enclosed, low-profile enclosure opposite the clear plastic window.
