    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
