SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ENUNCIATOR ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a microprocessor;
an enunciator connected to the microprocessor configured to provide an enunciation in response to enunciation events, the enunciator having at least a first enunciation setting and a second enunciation setting;
a sensor;
a monitoring circuit connected to the sensor for providing a trigger signal in response to a notable movement of the portable electronic device; and
an enunciator management module to;
activate the enunciator at the first enunciation setting in response to an enunciation event;
adjust the output of the enunciator to the second enunciation setting in response to a first trigger signal from the monitoring circuit; and
re-activate the enunciator at the second enunciation setting.

16. A method for controlling an enunciator for a portable electronic device, the method comprising:
-
setting an output of the enunciator to a first enunciation setting; activating the enunciator in response to an enunciation event at the first enunciation setting; monitoring for a notable movement of the portable electronic device; if the movement is detected, changing the output from the first enunciation setting to a second enunciation setting; and re-activating the enunciator at the second enunciation setting. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
