Abstract

A three-dimensional display device is provided. The device includes a plurality of surfaces. At least one surface of the plurality of surfaces is configured to display data. The device also includes a receiver configured to receive data along with a circuit configured to determine a change in orientation of the display device. The device further includes a processor configured to receive a first market data, display the first market data on the at least one surface, and illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a first color when the first market data is above a first threshold. The processor is further configured to illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a second color when the first market data is below the first threshold and change an intensity of the first color or the second color based on a degree of change of the first data.

Claims

1. A three-dimensional display device, comprising:

at least three surfaces, wherein at least one surface of the at least three surfaces is configured to display data;

a receiver that receives market data;

circuitry configured to determine a change in orientation of the display device; and

a processor configured to;

receive a first market data;

display the first market data on the at least one surface;

illuminate a plurality of surfaces of the at least three surfaces in a first color when the first market data is above a first threshold;

illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a second color when the first market data is below the first threshold;

change an intensity of the first color or the second color based on a degree of change of the first data;

receive a signal from the circuit when there is a change in the orientation of the display device;

receive a second market data when the signal is received; and

display the second data on the at least one surface.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to detect tactile contact of a user with at least one surface of the at least three surfaces and to activate at least one surface of the at least three surfaces to illuminate or display data in response to the tactile contact.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to detect a wireless signal from an electronic device and to activate at least one surface of the at least three surfaces to illuminate or display data in response to the wireless signal.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display the first data or the second data upon receiving an authentication token from an electronic device.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display the first data or the second data upon receiving biometric authentication.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to detect when a rate of movement of the device is at a rate above a threshold and change data displayed on the at least one surface when the rate is above the threshold.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to change data displayed on the at least one surface at periodic intervals or in response to receiving a wireless signal from an electronic device.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one surface is configured to display a stock index along with a first symbol of a stock market corresponding to the stock index, a second symbol for a country associated with the stock index, and a period of time until which the stock market closes.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein the first color or the second color flashes when the stock market is within a predetermined period of time to the close of the stock market.

10. The device of claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to vibrate or flash a displayed color or play a sound when the first data or the second data increases or decreases at a pre-programmed rate or crosses a pre-determined threshold.

11. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a pulsing light when the first data or the second data increases or decreases at a pre-programmed rate or crosses a pre-determined threshold.

12. The device of claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to send a signal to the electronic device when the first data or the second data increases or decreases at a pre-programmed rate or crosses a pre-determined threshold.

13. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one surface is configured to receive tactile input and wherein the processor is configured to display the first data or the second data upon entry of a password via tactile input.

14. The device of claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to detect when the electronic device is within a predetermined proximity of the display device and send a second signal to the processor to display the first data or the second data.

15. The device of claim 1, wherein each of the of the at least three surfaces is configured to display data.

16. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a third color based on a type of the second data, wherein the third color is different from the first and second colors.

17. The device of claim 1, wherein the second data is static and the first data is dynamic.

18. The device of claim 1, wherein the first data is a stock price and wherein the first threshold is a closing price for a stock from a previous trading session.

19. The device of claim 1, wherein the first data is a stock index and wherein the first threshold is a closing point for the stock index from a previous trading session.

20. The device of claim 1, wherein the change in orientation occurs when the display device is moved from resting on a first surface of the at least three surfaces to resting on a second surface of the of the at least three surfaces.

21. The device of claim 1, wherein the change in orientation occurs when the display device is tilted upwards or downwards.
