Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided. The method includes reproducing, by a portable phone, multimedia content via an external output device while the portable phone is coupled with the external output device, determining whether the portable phone is decoupled from the external output device, and terminating the reproducing of the multimedia content based at least in part on a determination that the portable phone is decoupled from the external output device.
Claims8
A portable communication device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit an outgoing call and receive an incoming call via a cellular communication network;
- a speaker;
- a short range wireless communication unit configured to establish a short-range wireless communication connection with an external audio output device;
- a non-volatile memory configured to store a music file;
- a touchscreen display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display, via the touchscreen display, a user interface for reproduction of the music file in a silent mode in which the portable communication device is set to provide a non-auditory notification in response to the incoming call being received from an external communication device via the cellular communication network;
- while the portable communication device is in the silent mode, reproduce the music file based at least in part on a user input with respect to the user interface such that an audio signal corresponding to the music file is outputted via the speaker;
- based at least in part on the short-range wireless communication connection being established between the portable communication device and the external audio output device while the music file is reproduced via the speaker, reproduce the music file such that the audio signal is outputted via the external audio output device instead of the speaker while the portable communication device is in the silent mode;
- and
- based at least in part on reception of the incoming call via the cellular communication network while the portable communication device is in the silent mode and while the music file is reproduced via the external audio output device, stop the reproducing of the music file and provide the non-auditory notification to notify the reception of the incoming call.
