Abstract
A method (500) for selectively improving output multimedia quality on a mobile station (105). The method can include detecting a circumstance in which a user of the mobile station would benefit from receiving high quality multimedia information (120) as opposed to multimedia information presented in a standard manner. Responsive to the detected circumstance, at least one parameter of a communication signal which communicates the multimedia information to the mobile station can be configured to provide the multimedia information at a quality that is higher than a standard quality at which multimedia information otherwise would be provided. Circumstances that can be detected include whether the mobile station is activated in an environment having high background noise, whether the mobile station is activated in a vehicle, and/or whether the mobile station is moving at a rate of speed that is at least equal to a threshold value.
