Abstract

Methods and systems for electronic devices and platforms that are configured to communicate with a wave pattern are disclosed herein. Such an electronic device may be configured to be placed on a platform. The electronic device may convert a message to be transmitted to a wave pattern. The wave pattern may be a series of vibrations, electronic pulses, or light flashes. The electronic device may then vibrate, send pulses, or flash and the platform may communicate such data to one or more other electronic devices. A receiving electronic device may detect the wave pattern and determine the message from the received wave pattern and respond accordingly.
