comprises a back, and wherein said frame is positioned on the back of said glove. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The glove as claimed in claim 2, wherein said transceiver module comprises at least an electronic board, wherein said vibrating element is substantially button-shaped and is interposed between said wall and said electronic board, wherein said wall faces towards the inside of said glove, so that it is proximal to the hand of a user wearing said glove. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The glove as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a battery for supplying power to said transceiver module and to said vibrating element, wherein said battery is substantially flat and is housed in said frame being interposed between said wall and said electronic board, on the same plane as said vibrating element. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The glove as claimed in claim 5, wherein the glove comprises a cuff, and wherein said frame is positioned at the cuff of said glove. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The glove as claimed in claim 7, wherein the glove comprises a back, and wherein said frame is positioned on the back of said glove. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The glove as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a battery for supplying power to said transceiver module and to said vibrating element, wherein said battery is substantially flat and is housed in said frame being interposed between said wall and said electronic board, on the same plane as said vibrating element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, wherein said vibrating element comprises an electric motor and a mass being eccentric with respect of the axis of rotation of said electric motor. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, wherein said transceiver module is configured to be connected to said second device by means of a Bluetooth protocol, and wherein said operating request is provided upon receiving an incoming call signal on said second device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, wherein the glove comprises fingers having ends, and wherein said glove comprises a fabric having conductive fibres, so as to allow its usage on capacitive touchscreens when a user wears it, said conductive fibres being located at least on the end of at least some fingers of said glove. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, wherein said transceiver module is configured to generate an activation signal in order to perform said mechanical vibration in an intermitting way, according to a predetermined duty cycle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, wherein the glove comprises a little finger having an end and a thumb having an end, wherein said microphone is positioned on the end of the little finger of said glove, and wherein said speaker is positioned on the end of the thumb of said glove. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a substantially flat frame wherein said transceiver module is housed, said glove further comprising a flap or a pocket inside which said frame is inserted, wherein said vibrating element is rigidly constrained to a wall of said frame, wherein said vibrating element comprises an electric motor and a mass being eccentric with respect of the axis of rotation of said electric motor. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The glove as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a substantially flat frame wherein said transceiver module is housed, said glove further comprising a flap or a pocket inside which said frame is inserted,
