SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING VIBRATION PATTERNS FOR NOTIFICATIONS RECEIVED AT A WEARABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wearable communication device comprising:
- an attachment device configured to couple the wearable communication device to a user;
a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a mobile communication device, the wireless transceiver including a short-range transceiver;
a vibrate motor; and
a processor coupled to the wireless transceiver and the vibrate motor, the processor being configured toreceive from the mobile communication device, through the wireless transceiver, a first vibration pattern and a first message type associated with the first vibration pattern and a second vibration pattern and a second message type associated with the second vibration pattern,store the first vibration pattern and the associated first message type and the second vibration pattern and the associated second message type in memory included in the wearable communication device,receive a message from the mobile communication device through the wireless transceiver,when a type of the received message is the first message type, access the stored first vibration pattern and operate the vibrate motor according to the first vibration pattern, andwhen the type of the received message is the second message type, access the stored second vibration pattern and operate the vibrate motor according to the second vibration pattern.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for generating a notification by wearable communication device. One system includes a mobile communication device and a wearable communication device. The mobile communication device includes a display, a first transceiver, and a first processor. The first processor is configured to provide access to a graphical user interface through the display, receive a message type and a vibration pattern for the message type from a user through the graphical user interface, and, when the mobile communication device obtains a message have the message type, transmit a notification to a wearable communication device using the first transceiver. The wearable communication device includes a second transceiver configured to receive the notification, a vibrate motor, and a second processor. The second processor is configured to perform the vibration pattern using the vibrate motor in response to receiving the notification.

4. A method of generating a notification by a wearable communication device, the method comprising:
-
receiving from a user, by a mobile communication device, a first vibration pattern for a first message type and a second vibration pattern for a second message type; storing, by the mobile communication device, the first vibration pattern associated with the first message type and the second vibration pattern associated with the second message type; receiving, by the mobile communication device, a message; determining, by the mobile communication device, a type of the received message; and transmitting a command to the wearable communication device, wherein, when the type of the received message is the first message type, the command instructs the wearable communication device to perform the first vibration pattern and, when the type of the received message is the second message type, the command instructs the wearable communication device to perform the second vibration pattern, wherein, the association between the first vibration pattern and the first message type and the association between the second vibration pattern and the second message type is not stored on the wearable communication device. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
