Abstract:
1. A method, in a communication device comprising a processor and a memory, for modifying a notification mode for notifying a user of an incoming communication, comprising: receiving, in a first communication device, the incoming communication from a second communication device; determining whether a total number of received incoming communications from the second communication device within a predetermined period of time meets or exceeds a first predetermined threshold; modifying, in response to the total number of received incoming communications from the second communication device within the predetermined period of time meeting or exceeding the first predetermined threshold, the notification mode of the first communication device to be different from a current notification mode of the first communication device for incoming communications from the second communication device, to thereby generate a modified notification mode, wherein modifying the notification mode of the first communication device to be different from the current notification mode of the first communication device for incoming communications from the second communication device, to thereby generate the modified notification mode comprises: outputting a notification of the incoming communication from the second communication device using the modified notification mode of the first communication device.
