Flashing Phone Plugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The myLED Phone Plug Blinks to Notify You of Missed Calls

— February 25, 2014 — Tech
The myLED phone plug is perfect for those who prefer the “visual.” By plugging in this tiny device to your iPhone’s headphone jack, you can visualize notifications; the small light will flash in one of three colours of your choice.

Why even bother turning up your iPhone ringer volume, when you know you won’t hear it in a loud area? With the myLED, you can put your phone on silent and not have to worry about missed calls, incoming emails, Facebook and Twitter updates, VoIP and battery levels. The light would be especially ideal for those with a flip-cover phone case. Even if you’re unable to see your phone screen (when your case is shut,) you won’t miss the blinking light at the edge.

The myLED light is for iPhones and iPads and can be paired with the myLED app to configure specific colors to certain notifications.
Trend Themes
1. Visual Notifications - The myLED phone plug demonstrates the trend of visual notifications, providing an opportunity for businesses to develop innovative products or apps that use visual cues for notifications.
2. Silent Communication - The myLED phone plug enables silent communication through visual alerts, suggesting an opportunity for businesses to create disruptive innovations that prioritize non-auditory notifications.
3. Customizable LED Indicators - The myLED phone plug showcases the trend of customizable LED indicators, highlighting the potential for businesses to create products that allow users to personalize their notification alerts.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Accessories - The myLED phone plug is a product within the mobile accessories industry, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities for companies that specialize in creating unique and useful smartphone accessories.
2. Smartphone Apps - The myLED app integration with the myLED phone plug opens up opportunities in the smartphone app industry to develop innovative apps focused on visual notifications and custom notification colors.
3. Consumer Electronics - The myLED phone plug falls within the realm of consumer electronics, providing potential for disruptive innovation by companies that design and manufacture novel electronic devices for everyday use.
