Abstract

An electronic device includes one or more sensors, one or more processors operable with the one or more sensors, and a status indicator configured to indicate whether an authorized user of the electronic device is busy, free, or somewhere in between. The status indicator can operate in at least a first state and a second state that is different from the first state. The first state indicates the authorized user is busy and should not be disturbed, while the second state indicates the authorized user is free. Red light can be emitted in the first state, and green light in the second state. The state of the status indicator can be set manually, such as with a chopping gesture, or automatically, such as from calendar events stored in a calendaring operation.
