Systems and Methods for Group Communication Using a Mobile Device With Mode Transition Based On Motion
First Claim
1. A method of group communication using a first mobile device, comprising:
- communicating with at least one second mobile device in a public mode;
detecting a first motion corresponding to a user of the first mobile device moving the first mobile device from a first position to a second position;
transitioning from a public mode to a private mode in response to the detected first motion; and
sending a message to the at least one second mobile device indicating a transition from a public mode to a private mode.

Abstract
Methods and systems of communication using a mobile device that include detecting a movement of the mobile device associated with transitioning from speaker phone mode to earpiece mode, or vice versa, and in response to detecting such movement, automatically transitioning the device to a different mode of operation. The detected action may be the motion and/or positioning of the device handset, such as the movement of the handset towards or away from the user'"'"'s ear, and/or the placement of the handset on a surface in a face-up or face-down position. Further methods and systems for transitioning between communication pathways and security modes in response to a detected movement of the mobile device.
