Abstract
A system, method and computer readable medium allows a user to alter output signals for a respective plurality of devices in short distance wireless network in response to a selection of an environment. In embodiments of the present invention, the output signal is a ring tone, alarm, display brightness, vibration signal, or type of language used. In embodiments of the present invention, a system comprises a cellular device and a first device, in a short distance wireless network. The cellular device generates a first short-range radio signal responsive to a selection of an environment. The environment is selected from the group consisting of a meeting, silence, normal and outdoors. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the selection of the environment includes 1) a user pressing a button indicating a selection of the environment 2) a second device, in the short distance wireless network, generating a second short-range radio signal indicating a selection of the environment, 3) a software component, such as a calendar program, selection in response to a user input, or 4) a user making a selection at a web site stored at a processing device. In an embodiment of the present invention, the second device is positioned at an entertainment location.
