Adjustable mobile phone settings based on environmental conditions

摘要

A mobile communication device automatically adapts to different environments based on the ambient audio it detects. Device message indicators (e.g., ringers, haptic feedback devices) are automatically adjusted based on ambient audio levels and possibly other environmental parameters so that they are less intrusive in quieter environments and, in noisier environments, more intrusive so that they are more able to gain the attention of the user.
