Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatuses for indicating an incoming call on a portable communication device are disclosed. A calling connection indicator is captured from an incoming call. An identified entry is selected from a caller identification list comprising one or more entries, wherein each of the entries is associated with a contact of a user of the portable communication device and includes one or more connection indicators for the contact and a tactile pattern for the contact. The identified entry is selected by matching the calling connection indicator to one of the one or more connection indicators. A tactile pattern is generated for the portable communication device. The tactile pattern includes a predefined tactile pattern associated with the identified entry in the caller identification list or a default tactile pattern if the calling connection indicator does not correlate to any of the connection indicators in the caller identification list.
