- a non-transitory memory that includes a data collection unit configured to receive first contextual data at the first communication device, the first contextual data indicating first conditions that exist at application of a first predetermined setting and a first setting adjustment associated with the first conditions; and
a processor configured to generate a second predetermined setting that is based on the first setting adjustment to a physical component of the first communication device, the second predetermined setting to be applied to the physical component of the first communication device in place of the first predetermined setting under second conditions indicated by second contextual data that match the first conditions, wherein;
the data collection unit is further configured toreceive data indicating a second communication device is within a predetermined proximity of the first communication device and indicating a predetermined setting of the second communication device;
the processor is further configured to;
determine a priority between the first predetermined setting of the first communication device and the predetermined setting of the second communication device;
in response to the priority of the predetermined setting of the second communication device being higher than the first predetermined setting of the first communication device, generate a third predetermined setting configured to be applied to the physical component of the first communication device in place of the first predetermined setting in response to the second contextual data matching the first conditions; and
in response to the second conditions being indicated by the second contextual data matching the first conditions, apply the third predetermined setting to the physical component of the first communication device in place of the second predetermined setting to alter a physical operating parameter of the physical component; and
the physical component includes one of;
a display and the third predetermined setting includes a brightness adjustment;
an alarm and the third predetermined setting includes an adjustment of an alarm feature;
or a ringer and the third predetermined setting includes silencing the ringer.

Abstract
According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method to effect automated adjustments at a communication device is described. The method may include receiving first contextual data of the communication device. The first contextual data may indicate conditions of a first predetermined setting at the communication device and a setting adjustment associated with the conditions. The method may also generate a second predetermined setting, based on the setting adjustment. The method may also apply the second predetermined setting at the communication device in place of the first predetermined setting under conditions indicated by second contextual data that are similar to conditions indicated by the first contextual data.
