SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GROUP COMMUNICATION USING A MOBILE DEVICE WITH MODE TRANSITION BASED ON MOTION

摘要

Methods and systems of communication using a mobile device that include detecting a movement of the mobile device associated with transitioning from speaker phone mode to earpiece mode or vice versa and in response to detecting such movement automatically transitioning the device to a different mode of operation. The detected action may be the motion and/or positioning of the device handset such as the movement of the handset towards or away from the users ear and/or the placement of the handset on a surface in a face up or face down position. Further methods and systems for transitioning between communication pathways and security modes in response to a detected movement of the mobile device.
