Automatic escalation/degradation of notifications of repetitive calls

摘要

Mechanisms for modifying a notification mode for notifying a user of an incoming communication is provided. In a first communication device, an incoming communication from a second communication device is received. A total number of received incoming communications from the second communication device within a predetermined period of time is determined and compared to a first threshold. In response to the total number of received incoming communications from the second communication device within the predetermined period of time meeting or exceeding the first predetermined threshold, a notification mode of the first communication device is modified to be different from a current default notification mode of the first communication device for incoming communications from the second communication device. A notification of the incoming communication from the second communication device is generated using the modified notification mode of the first communication device.
