Abstract: An automated non-visual user message is sent to a first communication endpoint during an audio communication session. The audio communication session is between a first user of the first communication endpoint and a second user of a second communication endpoint. For example, the automated non-visual message may be made using an audible whisper mode or using a vibrator. A response to the automated non-visual user message is received. The response to the automated non-visual user message is based on at least one of: an accelerometer event in the first communication device and a spoken word or phrase that is said by the first user of the first communication endpoint during the audio communication session with a second user of the second communication endpoint.
