Disclosed herein is a system and method for selectively enabling or disabling rings or other alerts associated with a mobile communication device. A mobile communication device in accordance with embodiments of the present invention includes one or more programmable profiles that establish the behavior of the mobile communication device for a number of different proximity levels between the user and the device. Accordingly, by applying a determined proximity level and an applicable programmable profile, an alert type maybe selected.

Proximity-based feature activation based on programmable profile

Mobile telephone user route mapping services and coverage area warning services and systems for providing such services are provided. Origination location and destination location information is entered, and a route between the locations along which wireless telephone system coverage is available is returned. If the returned route is less preferable than another possible route along which there are areas of poor coverage or no coverage, the provider of the wireless telephone system is informed, and this information can be used to identify areas in which improved coverage would most benefit mobile telephone users. A warning may also be provided to inform the parties to a call that a participant using a mobile telephone is about to enter an area of poor coverage or of no coverage. The described services may be offered in return for a fee paid to the service provider.

Selection of wireless network travel paths

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a system for providing user access to a public network that includes (a) a service modification agentoperable to (i) determine that public network resources are available for use; (ii) determine that a first class of users will be offered an upgrade in a Quality of Service (QoS) of communications over the public network; and (iii) determine that a first user in the first class of users may intend to use the public network resources and a service reporting agentoperable to provide the user with the higher QoS when the first user accesses the public network.

Dynamic feedback from an internet service provider about network occupancy/availability

Various systems and methods for automated media filtering are disclosed. For example, some methods include receiving an indication of a situational difference via an automatic sensor, and based at least in part on the situational difference, a program played on a media player is modified. In some cases, the methods further include accessing a filter that compares the change in situational difference with a predefined access control rule set. As just some of many examples, the situational difference may include a change in persons within proximity of the media player and/or a change in programming selection in relation to the media player.

A location-based reminder system includes a controllerthat determines when a person is in and/or leaving a defined area; when a person is determined to be in and/or leaving the defined area, identify a reminder to be provided to the person, the reminder including information about at least one object associated with the person; and provide the reminder to the person before the person leaves the defined area

Departure-based reminder systems

A method and apparatus for testing a digital network having a plurality of subnetworks by determining by one of a plurality of user endpoint devices assigned to one of the plurality of subnetworks upon the one of the plurality of user endpoint devices being idle that the one of the plurality of user endpoint devices should perform the functions of a testing user endpoint device for the one of the plurality of subnetworks; identifying the one of plurality of user endpoint devices to a server or a distributed system of servers as a testing user endpoint device; obtaining the identifies of other testing user endpoint devices in other ones of the plurality of subnetworks from the server; and testing the network by transmission of test packets to other ones of the testing user endpoint devices in the other ones of the plurality of subnetworks.
