Selectively augmenting communications transmitted by a communication device

Abstract

Technologies for selectively augmenting communications transmitted by a communication device include a communication device configured to acquire new user environment information relating to the environment of the user if such new user environment information becomes available. The communication device is further configured to create one or more user environment indicators based on the new user environment information, to display the one or more created user environment indicators via a display of the communication device and include the created user environment indicator in a communication to be transmitted by the communication device if the created user environment indicator is selected for inclusion in the communication.

1 . A communication device for selectively augmenting communications, the communication device comprising:
 a display,   a user environment information acquiring module to acquire user environment information relating to an environment of a user of the communication device,   a user environment indicator creation module to create one or more user environment indicators based on acquired user environment information,   a user environment indicator display module to display the one or more created user environment indicators via the display, and   a user environment indicator selection module to include a selected one or ones of the one or more displayed user environment indicators in a communication to be transmitted by the communication device.
