System and method for timed profile changes on a mobile device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing timed profile changes for a user on a mobile device, wherein the mobile device includes a user interface, the method comprising:
- providing a timed profile for use on the mobile device, wherein activation of the timed profile alters the user interface of the mobile device;
associating a period with the timed profile, wherein the period corresponds to a selected interval of time;
selecting to activate the timed profile in response to input provided to the mobile device; and
returning the mobile device to a previous profile when the period of the timed profile is completed.

Abstract
Described is a method and system for providing timed profile changes to a mobile device. The mobile device initiates a timed profile change in response to the user or an event associated with the mobile device. The mobile device monitors the profile period and provides a user with information regarding the length of the profile period remaining, as well as other information. When the period of the selected timed profile expires, the mobile device returns to a previous profile associated with the mobile device.

18. A mobile device arranged to be operated by a user, comprising:
-
a processor;
a user interface;
a memory into which a plurality of computer-executable instructions are loaded, the computer-executable instructions performing a method comprising;
selecting a timed profile from a list of timed profiles provided on the mobile device;
entering a profile period associated with the selected timed profile when the selected timed profile is activated;
altering the user interface of the mobile device to correspond to the selected timed profile;
monitoring the profile period to determine a duration of the profile period remaining;
prompting the user to extend the profile period at a prompt time, wherein the prompt time corresponds to a selected interval of time prior to completion the profile period; and
changing the user interface to correspond to a previous profile when the profile period is complete. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
