Economics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The invention concerns a method (300) and system (110) for electronically generating random responses in a portable electronic device (110). The method includes the steps of detecting (316) motion of the portable electronic device, in response to the detecting step, generating (318) the random response and outputting (320) the random response to a user of the portable electronic device. The method can further include the steps of prompting (312) the user to ask a question and following a predetermined time period after prompting the user to ask the question, prompting (314) the user to shake the portable electronic device. The …

Economics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A modular communication system (10) can include an adaptable communication module (12) having a transceiver (13) coupled to a processor (14) and memory (20), and a first interface block (24) coupled to the processor, and a host device (30) having a power source (36), a user interface (34), and a second interface block (46). The host device can be among a plurality of host devices having different user interfaces and the processor is adaptable to control the different user interfaces when the first interface block recognizes the second interface block. The module can further include a DSP (16) and a …
