Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for vibrating a telecommunications terminal that receives a call or message in accordance with a sequence of pulses that is based on one or more attributes of the associated incoming call or message. In particular, the illustrative embodiment varies at least one of: the number of pulses in the sequence, the durations of pulses, the intensity of pulses, and the tempo with which the sequence occurs. Attributes of the incoming call or message include who the caller is, a message priority, a message subject, and the location from which the call was placed. The present invention thus enables a telecommunications terminal in vibrate mode to impart information about the nature of an incoming call or message to the terminal's user without the user having to view the terminal's display.
