Abstract
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to provide to a storage entity information relating to pairing an accessory with the apparatus, and determine an event and at least partly responsive to the event, notify the storage entity, the apparatus and/or the accessory of the event.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising at least one processing core and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- provide, to a storage entity, information relating to use of an accessory with the apparatus to facilitate storage of the information and association of the information with a user account;
- determine an event, comprising an event type from among a plurality of event types, and at least partly responsive to the event, determine the accessory is not currently in use with the apparatus when the event occurs;
- and
- notify the storage entity, wherein notifying the storage entity is configured to trigger the storage entity to convey an indication of the event to a second apparatus using the accessory and/or the accessory associated with the user account, and wherein the indication of the event comprises at least an audio clip that is associated with the event type of the event on the apparatus.
An apparatus comprising at least one processing core and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- notify a storage entity that the apparatus is using an accessory to facilitate storage of information pertaining to the use of the accessory with the apparatus and association of the information with a user account;
- receive from the storage entity an indication of an event, comprising an event type from among a plurality of event types, relating to a second apparatus associated with the user account which was previously used by the accessory but not in use with the accessory when the event occurs;
- and
- provide a sensory indication of the event via the apparatus using the accessory, the accessory, or a combination thereof, wherein the indication originates from the second apparatus, which was previously used by the accessory but is not currently in use with the accessory when the event occurs, and wherein the indication of the event comprises at least an audio clip that is associated with the event type of the event on the second apparatus.
A method comprising:
- providing, to a storage entity, information relating to use of an accessory with an apparatus performing the method to facilitate storage of the information and association of the information with a user account;
- determining an event, comprising an event type from among a plurality of event types, and at least partly responsive to the event, determining the accessory is not currently in use with the apparatus when the event occurs;
- and
- notifying the storage entity, wherein notifying the storage entity is configured to trigger the storage entity to convey an indication of the event to a second apparatus using the accessory and/or the accessory associated with the user account, and wherein the indication of the event comprises at least an audio clip that is associated with the event type of the event on the apparatus.
