REGULATING ALERTS GENERATED BY COMMUNICATION TERMINALS RESPONSIVE TO SENSED MOVEMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of operating a mobile communication terminal to regulate user alerts that are generated therefrom, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- responding to receipt of a defined message through a RF transceiver circuit while the terminal has remained stationary for at least a threshold time by setting an alert logic indicator through operations performed by the computer circuit; and
responding to sensed movement of the terminal while the alert logic indicator is set by generating a user alert from the terminal to a user through operations performed by the computer circuit.

Abstract
Various computer-implemented methods and associated mobile communication terminals are provided that regulate the generation of user alerts responsive to received messages so that the alerts may be generated/regenerated when the terminal is moved by a user. A mobile communication terminal may include a movement sensing circuit, a RF transceiver circuit, and a computer circuit. The movement sensing circuit may be configured to generate a movement signal indicating movement of the mobile communication terminal. The RF transceiver circuit may be configured to communicate through a wireless air interface. The computer circuit may be configured to respond to receipt of a defined message through the RF transceiver circuit while the movement signal indicates that the terminal has remained stationary for at least a threshold time by setting an alert logic indicator, and configured to respond to sensed movement of the terminal while the alert logic indicator is set by generating a user alert from the terminal to a user
