System and method for context-based notification of a received transmission
First Claim
1. An electronic communication system, comprising:
- a radio frequency (RF) receiver adapted to receive an RF transmission;
location logic adapted to determine a current location of the electronic communication system;
a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the RF receiver and the location logic;
a notification device coupled to the CPU, the notification device adapted to signal a user that the RF transmission has been received; and
notification software adapted to execute on the CPU and to cause the CPU to determine whether to activate the notification device based on the current location of the electronic communication system.

Abstract
A system and method for context-based notification of a received transmission. Some illustrative embodiments may be an electronic communication system comprising a radio frequency (RF) receiver, location logic, a central processing unit (CPU), a notification device, and notification software. The RF receiver is adapted to receiver RF transmissions, the location logic is adapted to determine a current location of the electronic communication system, and the notification device is adapted to signal a user that a transmission has been received. The notification software executes on the CPU and causes the CPU to determine whether to activate the notification devices based on the current location of the mobile electronic communication system.
