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.
