Interactive Badge Color Symbol Protocol for Line of Sight Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Digital badges lack the capability for non-verbal communication between individuals in line of sight, failing to convey permission to approach or share digital content, emotions, and interests, and lack a universal standard for symbol language in electronic communication.
Innovation Solution
A non-verbal line of sight electronic communication protocol using standardized symbols and colors displayed on interactive badges to enable wireless communication between individuals, allowing for the transmission of messages and digital events such as images, sounds, or vibrations based on predefined interaction rules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital badges display static identity information only, then manufacturing and operation remain simple, but interactivity and communication capability between badges are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The badge is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying identity information, showing symbolic language cues, receiving wireless communications, and enabling interactive communication. This multi-functional approach allows a single device to handle various communication scenarios without requiring separate specialized devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
A standardized symbolic language system acts as an intermediary between badges, providing a universal communication protocol that enables interaction without complex direct peer-to-peer protocols. The symbolic language serves as a mediator that simplifies the communication mechanism between badges.
2Adaptability or versatility
If digital badges enable wireless communication between badges, then interactivity and content sharing improve, but lack of standardized symbol language prevents effective communication
Solution Approach 1:
The symbolic language utilizes color-coded symbols to convey specific meanings and states. Different colors represent different communication statuses, emotions, or information types, allowing for rich information transmission through a simplified visual interface that is easily recognizable and interpretable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs standardized parameters for symbolic representation, where specific symbols and their configurations represent standardized meanings. This parameterization allows for consistent interpretation across different badges and enables reliable communication without ambiguity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If digital badges use traditional verbal communication only, then language barriers exist, but non-verbal symbol language enables universal understanding
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses visual symbol copies that represent concepts, emotions, and communication states universally. These symbolic representations can be understood across different languages and cultures, providing a universal communication medium that transcends verbal language barriers while maintaining simplicity through standardized visual icons.
4Loss of information
If digital badges transmit detailed personal information, then communication richness improves, but privacy and security concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and separates essential communication information from detailed personal data. By using symbolic representations that convey meaning without revealing sensitive personal information, the system maintains communication effectiveness while protecting user privacy and reducing security risks.
Solution Approach 2:
Different levels of information are provided based on the communication context and user preferences. The symbolic language allows for selective disclosure where only necessary information is transmitted in a given situation, while more detailed information remains protected unless explicitly shared.

AI summary
The present invention claims and discloses a color and, or symbol coded display on a digital interactive badge for communicating a permission to approach and activate further digital content interaction. A non-verbal person to person ‘line of sight’ digital or electronic communication protocol standard (NVP) which allows one person to communicate with another using a direct line of sight signal from one interactive badge or screen to another. It allows the user to communicate and display their feelings, emotions, states of mind and consciousness, their like-mindedness with others, their social media activity, images, favorite brands, videos, purchased items and advertising all inside a new and comprehensive language NVP and in a visual way. NVP also allows the user to send invites to approach, talk, interact and to send digital information to their NVP capable interactive badge or screen or static receiver. NVP has been designed to run on hardware that can be programmed from the NVP interface and is designed specifically for the wearable technology market.
