Volume control system and method for a mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting volume of a mobile device in relationship to environment noise, the method comprising:
- sampling ambient noise around the mobile device to obtain at least one audio sample;
measuring volume of the at least one audio sample to determine volume of the ambient noise; and
increasing the volume of the mobile device, when the volume of the ambient noise is greater than a first threshold value.
