PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE HAVING A SCENT EMITTING COMPOUND

摘要

A portable wireless communication device (10) comprises a housing (34), a transceiver (30) within the housing (34), and a scented compound associated with the housing (34). The transceiver (30) permits a user to communicate with one or more remote parties via a base station subsystem in a wireless communication network. The scented compound emits a scent whenever the scented compound is activated. Activation may occur responsive to a user keypress on a keypad of the portable wireless communication device (10), or to radiated heat that exceeds a predetermined temperature.
