Patent ID: 7136894

Claim:
A method comprising: configuring a user specific vibration pattern to have a first vibration sequence of a particular frequency; configuring a transmission specific vibration pattern to have a second vibration sequence of a particular frequency; generating first mapping information by mapping said user specific vibration pattern to a particular user; generating second mapping information by mapping said transmission specific pattern to a particular transmission type; storing said user specific vibration pattern and said first mapping information and said transmission specific vibration pattern and said second mapping information on a server; receiving a transmission from a caller over a particular communications medium, said transmission having said transmission type; identifying said caller; identifying said transmission type; retrieving from said server said user specific vibration pattern for said user; retrieving from said server said transmission specific vibration pattern for said transmission type; combining said user specific vibration pattern with said transmission specific vibration pattern to form a combined vibration pattern; and causing a device to be vibrated according to said combined vibration pattern.
