Definitions

  • the electronic device is a mobile telephone, the colour change being in response to any one or a combination of: messaging functionality, call functionality, and a device attribute, or any other functionality associated with the device.
  • the polymer material can be configured to change to a plurality of colours, each colour change being associated with a device functionality.
  • the electric charge is applied in accordance with a trigger.
  • the entire casing is formed from the polymer material.
  • Figure IB is a flow diagram of another example method/process that can be utilised to embody or give effect to a particular example
  • Figure 6 is a functional block diagram of an example processing system that can be utilised to embody or give effect to a particular example. Modes For Carrying Out The Invention
  • Figure IA shows at step 100, applying an electric charge to at least a portion of an object with polymer material, and at step 1 10, at least a portion of the object with the polymer material changing colour states, in accordance with the applied electric charge.
  • the polymer material may change colour in accordance with or associated with the identity of the caller (that is, the particular functionality or attribute of the phone), which can allow a user of the phone to recognise the incoming call from the particular colour change.
  • certain attributes, identities, functionalities of the device can be assigned different polymer materials and/or colour changes within the polymer material.
  • this can include generated colour changes as a result of the device communicating with other devices, such as receiving and/or transmitting signals to other devices (such as for example, wireless signals to base stations, Bluetooth, or the like).
  • an ECP layer can also be used as an external indicator for battery life or remaining memory space, or the like.
  • ECP does not require a constant charge to be applied
  • the PED can have panels to indicate known memory space or battery life remaining.
  • the battery life can be updated automatically periodic intervals (for example, every few hours when the unit is switched off).
  • PED's have a user interface which allows a user to interact with the device. Accordingly, the control of the ECP functionality can form a part of the functionality of the PED (that is, an inbuilt control mechanism of the PED). Thus, in one example, the PED can include a menu option item such as "change colour" or the like.
  • the base station processor 401 typically includes one or more processing systems 410, optionally coupled to one or more databases 411.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif électronique portatif, en particulier un téléphone mobile, le dispositif électronique comportant un boîtier constitué d'un matériau polymère électrochromique, le matériau polymère étant conçu pour recevoir une charge électrique, et changer au moins partiellement de couleur en réponse à la charge électrique reçue. Le téléphone mobile peut être configuré pour que sa couleur change en une couleur parmi différentes couleurs, chaque changement de couleur étant associé à une fonctionnalité de dispositif. Des couleurs différentes peuvent être associées à différentes parties appelantes, de telle sorte que le téléphone change de couleur lors de la réception d'un appel entrant pour signaler la partie appelante. Le dispositif électronique pourrait en variante se présenter sous la forme d'un ensemble de blocs de jeu de construction constitués d'un polymère électrochromique. Les blocs peuvent recevoir un signal sans fil provenant d'une station de base pour déclencher un changement de couleur.
