Abstract
Cellular telephones, pagers, PDAs, and other wireless devices, are configured to modify their auditory response based on a schedule. A first device having a scheduling program may network with and modify the auditory response of a second device based upon a schedule set by the user. Also, a wireless device that has a scheduling program may modify its own auditory response based upon a schedule set by the user. Thus, for example, a user of a combined PDA/telephone may schedule a partial or total disablement of the telephone during a meeting, to reduce interruptions of group events.
