A communication device (100) includes a tactile sensor (120) configured to receive tactile input including a traced shape, a predefined shape or a constricting pressure, which is classified or characterized as a hug when covering a large area of the tactile sensor, such as forces directed toward each other applied on opposing surfaces of the tactile sensor (120). A controller (110) is configured to categorize the tactile input in accordance with presets, e.g., stored in a memory (130) of the communication device (100). The controller (110) is further configured to output a transmit signal including a characterization of the tactile input in accordance with the presets. A renderer (140) is configured to provide an illuminating pattern associated with the characterization and/or the tactile input, which may be a symbol, icon, word and drawing, where additionally the characterization may be a hug.
