Abstract
A system and methods for controlling a mobile electronic device is disclosed. A notification in response to a prescribed event is outputted. A change in a position of the mobile electronic device is detected. A strength of the notification is reduced, when a change in the position of the mobile electronic device is detected while the notification sound is being outputted.
Claims20
A mobile electronic device comprising:
- a first chassis comprising at least a first surface comprising a display surface and a second surface;
- a receiver operable to receive a communication request transmitted from another mobile electronic device;
- a memory operable to store a first clock time;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the receiver and the memory, the at least one processor being operable to:
- output a notification in response to a prescribed event;
- detect a change in a position of the mobile electronic device;
- and
- perform one of terminating the notification and reducing a strength of the notification, when the change in the position of the mobile electronic device is detected while the notification is being output;
- wherein the change in the position of the mobile electronic device comprises a change from a first state in which the first surface is on the second surface to a second state in which the second surface is on the first surface, and
- the prescribed event comprises reception of the communication request and a current clock time matching the first clock time.
A method of controlling a notification output by a mobile electronic device having a first surface comprising a display surface and a second surface, the method comprising:
- outputting the notification;
- detecting a change in a position of the mobile electronic device;
- and
- performing one of terminating the notification and reducing a strength of the notification, when the change in the position of the mobile electronic device is detected while the notification is being output,
- wherein the change in the position of the mobile electronic device comprises a change from a first state in which the first surface is on the second surface to a second state in which the second surface is on the first surface, and
- the prescribed event comprises reception of a communication request and a current clock time matching a predetermined clock time stored in a memory of the mobile electronic device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed perform a method of controlling a notification output by a mobile electronic device having a first surface comprising a display surface and a second surface, the method comprising:
- outputting the notification;
- detecting a change in a position of the mobile electronic device;
- and
- performing one of terminating the notification and reducing a strength of the notification, when the change in the position of the mobile electronic device is detected while the notification is being output,
- wherein the change in the position of the mobile electronic device comprises a change from a first state in which the first surface is on the second surface to a second state in which the second surface is on the first surface, and
- the prescribed event comprises reception of a communication request and a current clock time matching a predetermined clock time stored in a memory of the mobile electronic device.
