Apparatus for Automatically Selecting Ring and Vibration Mode of a Mobile Communication Device

A method for automatically selecting an alert option of a communication device, the method comprising the steps of:

• collecting a current ambient noise if the communication device receives a communication signal from an external electronic device, and generating a quantified value of the current ambient noise according to the current ambient noise collected;
• determining a volume level of the current ambient noise according to the quantified value of the current ambient noise;
• selecting a current alert option of the communication device according to the volume level of the current ambient noise;
• and
• performing a corresponding alert option control on the communication device according to the current alert option selected.

An apparatus for automatically selecting a alert option of a communication device, the communication device comprising a ringing unit for performing a ring operation and a vibrating unit for performing a vibration operation, the apparatus comprising:

• a noise detection unit for collecting a current ambient noise, and generating a quantified value of the current ambient noise according to the current ambient noise collected;
• and
• a central processing unit (CPU), comprising:
• a detecting module for detecting the communication signal from the receiver, enabling the noise detection unit to perform the corresponding function, and determining a volume level of the current ambient noise according to the quantified value of the current ambient noise from the noise detection unit;
• and
• a controlling module for selecting a current alert option of the communication device according to the volume level of the current ambient noise, and controlling the ringing unit and the vibrating unit of the communication device to perform corresponding functions according to the alert option selected.
