Embodiment Construction

[0034] Context-aware mobile devices communicating via wireless signals, and processor-implemented methods for controlling such mobile devices are provided. Conventionally, mobile devices do not have the ability to learn the user's habits, so the device must be manually configured by the user in order to change its behavior to that appropriate for the device's current context. The user must configure the device based on the current location and / or time. For example, when attending an event such as a religious ceremony, the user will typically turn off the ringer in advance so that incoming phone calls, text messages, calendar notifications, alarms, etc. will not result in embarrassing audible notifications. This places a burden on the user. Likewise, after leaving the event, the user must reconfigure the device to turn on the ringer again, or the user may miss incoming messages.

Abstract

A context-aware mobile device such as a cell phone automatically determines appropriate user interface (UI) settings to implement at different times and / or locations. A behavior of the mobile device is tracked by determining locations visited and UI settings which are manually configured by the user. Patterns in the movement and UI settings relative to one another and to time are detected. When a particular location or time is subsequently reached which corresponds to the pattern, an appropriate UI setting can be implemented, thereby relieving the user of this task. Locations can be detected by electromagnetic signals at different locations, such as from a Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth network, RF or infrared beacon, or a wireless point-of-sale terminal. An identifier from the signals such as an SSID can be stored.; Labels for locations can be automatically assigned, or the user can be prompted to provide a label for commonly visited locations.

Description

Background technique [0001] Cellular telephones are mobile communication devices that have become ubiquitous in society. In addition to providing voice communications and other data communications such as web browsing, mobile devices typically have a number of built-in applications such as calendar scheduling applications that can provide reminder notifications at specified times. However, configuring the device to suit the user's needs places a significant burden on the user of the mobile device. For example, you can configure various device behaviors, such as ringer and other notification settings, call forwarding settings, and other settings. Failure to configure certain settings at certain times and places may cause inconvenience, embarrassment, missed communications, or other problems to users. Contents of the invention [0002] Context-aware mobile devices communicating via wireless signals are provided, and processor-implemented methods for controlling such mobile d...
