PERSONAL COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR SIGNALING CALL-PROCESSING STATE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inform the user of a calling consecutive state by allowing a stimulus means to send a message by a sense of touch. SOLUTION: This method is realized by providing an array, consisting of a stimulus means 14 related to a personal communication equipment 10 that sends a message by a sense of touch as to a call processing or a call network state to the user. The array is placed on the equipment, and then while the equipment is carried or worn on, e.g. a wrist, the array is in contact with the user. The stimulus means 14 of the array is operated independently to send a message coded by a call-processing such as warning, a call tone or a busy signal to the user. Preferably each state is related to each of a set of unique operations of the stimulus means 14 recognized as the image of a sense of touch or an operation pattern by the user, rather than requires a series of sense of touch by each stimulus means 14.
