Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system for recommending preferred ringer settings for a mobile phone based on its location and the user's ringer setting preferences. The system identifies location zones and determines the best ringer settings for each location. The technical effect is to provide users with personalized ringer settings based on their location and preferences.

Problems solved by technology

In many situations, however, the production of audible sound via an embedded speaker may be inappropriate.
For example, the production of audible sound via an embedded speaker may be inappropriate when a user of the mobile communications device is taking a test, attending a wedding, attending a church sermon, and so on.
In other situations, disabling the production of audible sound via an embedded speaker may cause the user of the mobile communications device to miss an important incoming data communications message.

Abstract

Recommending preferred ringer settings for a mobile communications device, including: receiving, from one or more mobile communications devices, location information identifying a location of the mobile communications device; receiving, from one or more mobile communications devices, ringer setting information identifying a ringer setting of the mobile communications device; identifying one or more location zones; and determining, in dependence upon the location information and the ringer setting information, preferred ringer settings for each of the one or more location zones.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation application of and claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 096,084, filed on Dec. 4, 2013.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The field of the invention is data processing, or, more specifically, methods, apparatus, and products for recommending preferred ringer settings for a mobile communications device.[0004]2. Description Of Related Art[0005]Mobile communications devices, such as smartphones, have become widely used as a large number of people currently own such mobile communications devices. Such mobile communications devices can alert the user of the mobile communications device to an incoming communications message, such as a text message, an incoming phone call, an incoming electronic mail message, and so on. Mobile communications devices can alert the user of the mobile communications device to an incoming communications message, for example, through t...
