In the example that another is human-readable, this indicator can include the LED with particular color flicker or luminescence, thus indicating the behavior expression level of individuality。In this example, this indicator may be used for flicker (opening and closing) detectable flashing sequence, and this flashing sequence should with the behavior expression level of relative higher than predetermined threshold。Can count opening or closing flashing sequence, thus drawing specific number。As non-limiting example, the behavior expression that sequence<opens (on)>,<closing (off)>,<on>,<off>,<on>,<off>can be quantified with 3 kinds is corresponding higher than the situation of threshold value。For dibit number (the behavior expression situation quantified higher than 9 kinds), decimal number system is therefore used to be likely to indicate as follows number:<on>,<off>,<suspending (pause)>,<on>,<off>,<on>,<off>are by corresponding for the behavior expression situation quantified with 12 kinds。Although the useful duration of<on>pulse is likely within the scope of 10-400 millisecond, but any observable duration can be used。<Pause>different from<on>signal (including longer or shorter) should be perceived, thus indicated number purpose interval。This show value sequence can be triggered, but is not limited to the specific action relevant to obtaining show value or sequence, as sequence reset or power-off being energized。

Together with starting to may be used for end sequence to be drawn together by signal value, such as fast-pulse or optional network specific digit value。Another Serial No. may be used for including the wearable unit of conformal sensor device and provides unique ID。

The framework that pulse shows can also be programmable and be set up by computer connection (wirelessly or non-wirelessly), thus customizing the sequence of specific needs。Although longer flashing sequence can be used to pass on multiple values, but due to the complexity of matter of time and explanation, this be not likely to be so it is desirable that。The coding similar with human-readable Morse code shape sequence or pulse width modulation can provide more information, but it may also be desirable to train in a large number and transcribe。

In still another example, except or replace human-readable indicator, this indicator be configured for provide non-human human readable indicator。Such as, smart mobile phone application (or other similar application of the processor executable on computing equipment) is used for photographing unit or the reading of other devices or otherwise quantifies the output of indicator。Such as, when indicator uses LED to provide instruction or transmission information, the photographing unit of smart mobile phone or other image-forming blocks may be used for the output of monitoring indicator。The example of non-human readable interface using LED includes making the LED being under the not perceived speed of human eye, be emitted in visible spectrum outside electromagnetic radiation (such as infrared or ultraviolet) LED or with low-light level luminous so that they can not by human perception to LED glimmer。
