Automatic control of portable communication device behavior based on communication acceptance/rejection profile
First Claim
1. A method for automatically controlling operation of a portable communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving communication acceptance profile information;
receiving information describing a pending communication;
determining whether to accept the pending communication by analyzing at least a portion of the communication acceptance profile information and the information describing the pending communication; and
receiving the pending communication, if it is determined that the pending communication is to be accepted.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically controlling operation of a portable communication device based on a communication acceptance/rejection profile. Various aspects of the present invention may comprise receiving communication acceptance profile information. An interface module of a portable communication device may, for example, receive such information. Information describing a pending communication may be received. A receiver module of a portable communication device may, for example, receive such information. The communication acceptance profile information and the information describing the pending communication may be analyzed to determine whether to accept the pending communication. A communication acceptance determination module may, for example, perform such analysis. If it is determined that the communication should be accepted, then the communication may be received. A receiver module may perform such receiving. If it is determined that the communication should not be accepted, then the communication might not be received.

14. A system for controlling operation of a portable communication device, the system comprising:
-
a first module that receives communication acceptance profile information;
a second module that receives information describing a pending communication; and
a third module that determines whether to accept the pending communication by analyzing at least a portion of the communication acceptance profile information and the information describing the pending communication;
wherein the second module receives the pending communication if the third module determines that the pending communication is to be accepted. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
