How?
Have a string of LEDs connected to a motor and a controller, stuck of your back window (maybe with a suction cup), that you can activate from your phone by pushing one button (of a few you prepared in advance) with the right message. The motor will spin up quickly and show the message for a short while.

Smartphone Theft Protection
Why?
To protect from pickpockets and other thieves.
How?
A âbeaconâ that you wear on your person that your smartphone can detect. You can turn on the theft protection, and when your phone is taken a certain distance from the âbeacon,â it sounds a loud alarm (even if the phone is set to silent mode and the volume is down.) When you put the phone down (at your office for instance), you can switch to motion mode, and the phone will sound the alarm when moved and not when youâre away.

Use Bicycle Wheels for Advertising Using LEDs
Why?
People riding bikes can make extra money, and advertisers can have a new medium.
How?
Mount a string of LED lights on both sides of a bicycle wheelâs spoke, connected to a controller and power source (battery or dynamo.). The controller will light up the individual LED lights based on the speed of the wheel to create the illusion of a message that can be read by people looking at the moving bike from both it sides.
