Patent ID: 7639130

Claim:
A mobile communication device having voice and data capabilities, comprising: a microprocessor to control the operation of the mobile communication device; an enunciator connected to the microprocessor configured to provide an enunciation in response to enunciation events comprising telephone calls and electronic notifications in relation to applications operating on the mobile communication device, wherein the enunciator is an output device capable of generating an enunciation comprising one or a combination of a visual, audio and physical indication, wherein each type of enunciation event is associated with a particular enunciation and each has a first enunciation setting and a second enunciation setting; a memory connected to the microprocessor to store data relating to the first and second enunciation settings; a sensor; a monitoring circuit connected to the sensor for providing a trigger signal in response to a notable activation of the sensor; and an enunciator management module to: activate the enunciator in response to an enunciation event to generate an enunciation at the first enunciation setting, the enunciation generated depending on the type of enunciation event; and adjust the output of the enunciator to the second enunciation setting in response to a first trigger signal from the monitoring circuit; wherein the enunciator management module is configured to compare the trigger signal against a baseline movement level and to adjust the output of the enunciator to the second enunciation setting when the trigger signal exceeds the baseline movement level, and wherein the enunciator management module is configured to learn the baseline movement level in accordance with baseline measurements taken over a period of time.
