Extension to Feellight: The concept consists of two I/O devices which are always on-connected. The device connected to the network terminal device obtains a user’s button-pressing action by the button switch, and changes the color of the embedded light. The signal of switch whether the button is pressed or not is transmitted to the other side of the line, and causes the color change of the light of the other side of the line. The color of light is coincided with each other. The light simply changes on a periodic basis of four colors (red, yellow, green, and blue). The concept is a device attached to the cellular phone and a stand-alone FeelLight device with a wireless connection. It is also intended to embed it to home electric appliances and desktop computers. The device can also be attached to the mouse or keyboard without missing
the property.
