Abstract
An alert device and methods of using the device in conjunction with a portable communication device are presented. The alert device is intended to be worn discretely on the person of the user and includes an output mechanism and user interface such that the user is notified of incoming communications received by a portable communication device, such as a cellular telephone, and may trigger the portable communication device to send pre-selected responses to those communications through interaction solely with the alert device. The alert device may further initiate pre-selected communications to be sent by the portable communication device solely through interaction with the alert device.
