Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing vibration alerts to a user of a communication device uses a vibration alert application executing on the communication device that analyzes messages received by the communication device to select a corresponding vibration pattern to be used in alerting the user. An indication of the vibration pattern is transmitted to a vibration alert accessory having multiple vibration elements and that is communicatively linked with the communication device. The vibration alert accessory controls the vibration elements to perform the indicated vibration pattern.

Claim (Index 1):
A vibration alert accessory, comprising:\n a first vibration motor mounted on a first side of the vibration alert accessory; a second vibration motor mounted on a second side of the vibration alert accessory; an orientation component that indicates an orientation of the vibration alert accessory; a communication interface; a controller coupled to the communication interface, orientation component, and first and second vibration motors; wherein the communication interface receives an alert message indicating a vibration pattern; and wherein, the alert message includes an indication of an alerting location to which the user's attention is to be drawn, the vibration alert accessory indicates a direction of the alerting location from a present location by vibrating the first and second vibration motors at different magnitudes based on the orientation of the vibration alert accessory as indicated by the orientation component.
