1. A system for alerting users comprising:
- a smart device for controlling alerts, the smart device having;
a screen for allowing a first user and a second user to input a first alert and a second alert and selecting a first vibratory pattern in response to the first alert and a second vibratory pattern in response to the second alert; and
a first wireless system;
a first puck having;
a second wireless system for interfacing with the smart device via the first wireless system;
a first vibration system configured for shaking the first puck;
a first controller for activating the first vibration system in response to a first signal from the smart device; and
a feedback sensor for measuring a sleep pattern of the users; and
at least a second puck having;
a third wireless system for interfacing with the smart device via the first wireless system;
a second vibration system configured for shaking the second puck; and
a second controller for activating the second vibration system in response to a second signal from the smart device;
wherein the screen allows the first user to input an identical alert having a third vibratory pattern in response to the identical alert;
wherein the smart device controls the identical alert concurrently for both the first puck and the second puck;
wherein the first controller adjusts the first vibration system in response to the feedback sensor; and
wherein the first controller determines the location of the first puck based upon the feedback sensor.

Abstract
The alarm monitoring system provides various alerts of events that are not readily discernable to those individuals that are deaf or hard of hearing. The system generates visual, vibratory, and high decibel alerts separately or in combination to alert the user to a wide variety of events in combination with a vibratory illuminating puck shaped device and allows a user to filter out alerts based upon a variety of modifiers.

11. A method for alerting a user comprising:
-
creating a list of contacts comprising approved contacts; receiving a message from an external source; setting an alert on a device; establishing a rule to limit alerts from the message received from the external source based upon the list of contacts; programming a puck to vibrate in response to the alert based upon a vibration pattern; vibrating the puck in response to the alert; measuring a sleep pattern of the user; measuring a location of the puck; comparing the location of the puck to a database of puck locations; comparing the sleep pattern of the user to a database of patterns of sleep; and adjusting the vibration of the puck based upon the location of the puck and in response to the sleep pattern of the user in order to awaken the user; wherein the device allows a user to customize the vibration pattern associated with the alert. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
