发明名称 Identification display method and system
摘要 A message presentation method and system is disclosed. The method includes receiving by a computer processor of an electrical device, data associated with a function of the electrical device. The electrical device comprises light emitting devices. The computer processor generates an identification code identifying the function, a first bit signal associated with a first bit of the identification code, and a second bit signal associated with a second bit of the identification code. The computer processor transmits the first bit signal to a first light emitting device. The first bit signal results in the first light emitting device indicating the first bit signal as a first illuminated color.

主权项 1. A message presentation method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor of an electrical device, first data associated with a first specified function of said electrical device, wherein said first data comprises a binary input and an analog input configured to determine an overall health of said electrical device and enable a specified display code sequence, and wherein said electrical device comprises a plurality of light emitting devices; generating, by said computer processor based on said binary input and said analog input, a first identification code identifying said first specified function; generating, by said computer processor, a first bit signal at a first specified level, wherein said first bit signal is associated with a first bit of said first identification code, and wherein said first bit signal comprises a binary signal; generating, by said computer processor, a second bit signal at a second specified level differing from said first specified level, wherein said second bit signal is associated with a second bit of said first identification code, and wherein said second bit signal comprises a pulse width modulated signal; generating, by said computer processor, an additional bit signal at an additional specified level differing from said first specified level and said second specified level, wherein said additional bit signal is associated with an additional bit of said first identification code; generating, by said computer processor, a decoding chart indicating said first specified function associated with said first identification code indicating said first bit signal as said first illuminated color, wherein said chart further indicates said second bit signal as a second illuminated color differing from said first illuminated color, wherein said chart further indicates said additional bit signal as flashing between multiple illuminated colors differing from said first illuminated color and said second illuminated color, and wherein said chart comprises a condition column indicating various conditions and multiple LED color columns indicating LED colors and associated binary high or low signal indications associated with each color of said LED colors; presenting, by said computer processor to a user of said electrical device, said decoding chart; transmitting, by said computer processor, said first bit signal at said first specified level to a first light emitting device of said plurality of light emitting devices resulting in said first light emitting device indicating said first bit signal as said first illuminated color, wherein said first illuminated color is independent from any specific position of bits of said first identification code; transmitting, by said computer processor, said additional bit signal at said additional specified level to an additional light emitting device of said plurality of light emitting devices resulting in said additional light emitting device indicating said additional bit signal as said flashing between multiple illuminated colors; and transmitting, by said computer processor, said second bit signal at said second specified level to a second light emitting device of said plurality of light emitting devices resulting in said second light emitting device indicating said second bit signal as said second illuminated color differing from said first illuminated color, wherein said first light emitting device indicating said first bit signal as said first illuminated color in combination with said second light emitting device indicating said second bit signal as said second illuminated color and said additional light emitting device indicating said additional bit signal as said flashing between multiple illuminated colors represent a first message associated with said first identification code identifying said first specified function, wherein said first bit signal results in said first light emitting device emitting said first illuminated color comprising a first specified brightness level associated with said first specified level, wherein said additional bit signal results in said additional light emitting device emitting said flashing between multiple illuminated colors comprising an additional specified brightness level associated with said additional specified level, wherein said second bit signal results in said second light emitting device emitting said second illuminated color comprising a second specified brightness level associated with said second specified level, wherein said first specified brightness level differs from said second specified brightness level, and wherein said first illuminated color comprising said first specified brightness level in combination with said second light emitting device emitting said second illuminated color comprising said second specified brightness level represent said first message.
