First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an incoming communication at a communications device;
querying memory of the communications device for a timing parameter describing an amount of time;
processing an initial alert by a processor to initially alert of the incoming communication; and
suppressing subsequent alerts of the incoming communication for the amount of time described by the timing parameter.

Abstract
Alerts may be suppressed for communications. A timing parameter is retrieved describing an amount of time. An initial alert is processed to initially alert of an incoming communication. Subsequent alerts of the incoming communication are suppressed for the amount of time described by the timing parameter.
