Abstract

A computing system locating system includes a computing system having a computing system light emitting device that is configured to emit light to provide a computing system locating signal, and a vibration-based location indication system. The vibration-based location indication system includes a light detection subsystem that is configured to detect the computing system locating signal via the light emitted from the computing system light emitting device on the computing system, and a vibration subsystem that is configured to vibrate. A location indication subsystem in the vibration-based location indication system that is coupled to the light detection subsystem and the vibration subsystem determines that the light detection subsystem has detected the computing system locating signal via the light emitted from the computing system light emitting device on the computing system and, in response, drives the vibration subsystem to produce a vibration to indicate the location of the computing system.
