Abstract
The present invention provides a paired device, a system and method for managing a location of an alert for a remotely originating incoming communication intended for a particular user to one or more of a plurality of devices associated with the particular user. The one or more of a plurality of devices includes a primary device and one or more secondary devices paired with the primary device. A detection is made via one or more sensors associated with a particular secondary device as to whether the particular secondary device is proximate to the particular user with which the particular secondary device is associated. A detection is then made via a local communication management module of the particular secondary device whether the particular secondary device is in communication with a local communication management module of the primary device with which the particular secondary device is paired. A user alert element of the particular secondary device to be activated for the remotely originating incoming communication intended for a particular user is then enabled, when the one or more sensors associated with a particular secondary device detects that the particular secondary dev…
