Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for automatically selecting an alert type based on the location of a cellular phone. SOLUTION: The method of automatically selecting the alert type for a mobile electronic device comprises the steps of (A) determining the location of the mobile electronic device, and (B) based on the location information, determining an appropriate alert type for the mobile electronic device. When the cellular phone is located in a restaurant, a theater or a place like that, the alert type is changed to a silent mode (vibration mode), and when the cellular phone leaves the place, the alert type is changed back to a loud audible alert mode. In the loud audible alert mode, the volume becomes larger or smaller depending on the surrounding environment. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for providing a courtesy alerting feature taking the environment/surrounding into account and to provide a mobile electronic device provided with the method. SOLUTION: If the user of the mobile electronic device wants to answer the call request but cannot do so immediately, the user can activate the courtesy alerting feature using an input device on the mobile device. By pressing numerical keys a message is sent to the calling party to inform him that the user of the mobile device cannot currently answer the call but is moving to a place where the call request can be taken. Once in a location where the call can be taken, the user presses an answer button on the mobile device and can respond the call.
