Wireless communications device having a silent mode disabled setting for user contacts
First Claim
1. A wireless communications device comprising:
- a memory adapted to maintain profiles relating to a plurality of user contacts;
an output device operable to emit audible notifications responsive to incoming communications;
at least one input device operable to receive a user selection of a silent notification mode of the device and operable to receive a user selection of a silent mode disabled setting associated with the profiles; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the output device and the at least one input device;
wherein, the processor is configured to prevent the output device from emitting audible notifications responsive to incoming communications from the user contacts having profiles without the silent mode disabled, when the device is in the silent notification mode; and
wherein, the processor is configured to cause the output device to emit audible notifications responsive to incoming communications from the user contacts having profiles with the silent mode disabled, when the device is in the silent notification mode.

Abstract
A wireless communications device includes a memory adapted to maintain profiles relating to user contacts, an output device operable to emit audible notifications responsive to incoming communications, at least one input device operable to receive a user selection of a silent notification mode of the device and a user selection of a silent mode disabled setting associated with the profiles and a processor coupled to the memory, the output device and the at least one input device. When the device is in the silent notification mode, the processor is configured to prevent the output device from emitting audible notifications responsive to incoming communications from the user contacts having profiles without the silent mode disabled and to cause the output device to emit audible notifications responsive to incoming communications from the user contacts having profiles with the silent mode disabled.
