Abstract

A system and methods for controlling a mobile electronic device is disclosed. A notification in response to a prescribed event is outputted. A change in a position of the mobile electronic device is detected. A strength of the notification is reduced, when a change in the position of the mobile electronic device is detected while the notification sound is being outputted.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

at least one processor, comprising;

a notification module operable to output a notification in response to a prescribed event;

a position detection module operable to detect a change in a position of the mobile electronic device; and

a notification control module operable to perform one of terminating the notification and reducing a strength of the notification, when the position detection module detects the change in the position of the mobile electronic device while the notification module is outputting the notification,

wherein the notification module includes a speaker operable to output a notification sound in response to the prescribed event, and

the notification control module includes a sound control module operable to perform one of terminating the notification sound and reducing a volume thereof, when the position detection module detects the change in the position of the mobile electronic device while the speaker is outputting the notification sound.
