<p>The present invention pertains to a communications system (100) wherein a called party is associated with a plurality of communications devices (e.g. 112-1 and 122-1) and the alerting mechanism, e.g. the audible and/or visible alarm mechanism, of one such device is disabled when it is within a predetermined distance of another such communications device. In the disclosed embodiment, the called party is associated with both a pager (122-1) and another communications device (112-1) and the alerting mechanism of either the pager or the other communications device is disabled when both devices are within a predetermined distance of one another. Advantageously, this predetermined distance can be varied to suit different applications. <IMAGE></p> |
