Wearable accessories providing visual indicia of incoming events for wireless telecommunications device

One or more computer storage media having computer executable instructions embodied thereon that when executed perform a method for providing visual indicia of an incoming network event received on a wireless telecommunications device from a wireless telecommunications network, wherein the visual indicia is provided by a wearable accessory communicating with the wireless telecommunications device over a wireless personal area network, the method comprising:

• detecting the presence of the wearable accessory within the wireless personal area network of the wireless telecommunications device;
• determining a display type of the wearable accessory, wherein the display type of the wearable accessory is one of a plurality of different display types capable of providing visual indicia of an incoming network event;
• receiving an incoming network event from the wireless telecommunications network;
• and
• in response to the incoming network event, providing a signal to the wearable accessory based on the display type of the wearable accessory, wherein the wearable accessory provides a visual indicia of the incoming network event based on the signal.

A system for providing visual indicia of an incoming network event for a wireless telecommunications device, the system comprising:

• a wireless telecommunications device in communication with a wireless telecommunications network via a long-range radio frequency interface, the wireless telecommunications device being configured to receive an incoming network event from the wireless telecommunications network over the long-range radio frequency interface, the wireless telecommunications device also being configured to communicate over a wireless personal area network;
• a wearable accessory in communication with the wireless telecommunications device via the wireless personal area network, the wearable accessory having a display and being configured to provide visual indicia of the incoming network event for the wireless telecommunications device;
• and
• wherein the wearable accessory is configured to communicate a display type to the wireless telecommunications devices, wherein the display type of the wearable accessory is one of a plurality of different display types capable of providing visual indicia of an incoming network event and the wireless telecommunications device is configured to communicate a signal to the wearable accessory in response to the incoming network event, the signal being based on the display type and causing the wearable accessory to provide visual indicia of the incoming network event.
