Abstract
A system or method that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a predetermined motion profile during a chat mode with a remote communication device and sending a ping signal to the remote receiving device in response to detecting the predetermined motion profile. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims17
A communication device, comprising:
- a memory storing computer instructions;
- and
- a transmitter to send a ping signal to a remote receiving device;
- a processor coupled to the memory, and the transmitter, the processor, executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising:
- communicating in a chat mode with a remote receiving device;
- detecting a predetermined motion profile during the chat mode;
- and
- sending the ping signal to the remote receiving device in response to detecting the predetermined motion profile, the ping signal including information causing a sensory change to the remote receiving device during the chat mode.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions which, responsive to being executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- communicating in a chat mode, by a communication device, with a remote receiving device;
- detecting, by the communication device, a predetermined motion during the chat mode;
- and
- sending a ping signal to the remote receiving device in response to detecting the predetermined motion, the ping signal including information causing a sensory change to the remote receiving device during the chat mode.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a system including at least one processor, a predetermined motion profile during a chat mode with a remote communication device;
- and
- sending, by the system, a ping signal to the remote receiving device in response to detecting the predetermined motion profile, the ping signal including information causing a sensory change to the remote receiving device during the chat mode.
