Abstract
A mobile communication device (FOB) attached to a user operates on sound information utter by the user to respond to alert messages sent to it by an event notification system (ENS). The FOB is able to transition between a training mode and a normal mode of operation. In the training mode of operation, the FOB can detect and store sound information associated with a user's response to a training alert message. The sound information in the user response to the training alert message is associated with a response code that the user is prompted to enter into the FOB during the training process. In the normal mode of operation, the user can respond to an alert message played by the FOB with a verbal utterance, and the FOB generates and sends a response message to the ENS that includes the response code associated with the training verbal response.
