Reiters cameraphone report
Nokia has filed a patent for handsets that can generate symbols and Morse Code and decypher the information.
Patent highlights can be found
here
The article says, ""Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is attempting to patent an optical messaging system by equipping handsets with a large light emitting matrix.
"The backlit display, which can be color or monochrome, generates scrolling or blinking symbols that can be recognised at a distance of up to 4 metres.
"Alternatively, the phone is equipped with a single high-power LED that can be modulated manually or automatically, for example using Morse code, and deciphered remotely with a camera-phone."
"According to the firm, the device provides a new communication channel that does not pollute the RF band."
