Abstract: The present invention relates a method and a mobile communication device for generating a muffle-compensated ring signal in response to detecting that the mobile communicating device is in a muffling environment. The method comprises the steps of emitting a reference sound by a loudspeaker of the communication device and then measuring the acoustic response of thereof at a microphone of the same device. The acoustic response is analyzed by searching for characteristics that indicate that the mobile communication is stowed away in a muffling environment, and if such characteristics are found compensating for the muffling environment by automatically adjusting the ring signal in response to the specific characteristics of the acoustic response.

Abstract: The present invention relates a method and a mobile communication device for generating an adaptive ring signal level in the mobile communication device in response to the surrounding environmental condition of said mobile communication device and also in response to the way the mobile communication device is stored away. By comparing a transfer that is determined based on the relation between an emitted signal from the loudspeaker and a response recorded by the microphone and an ideal transfer function a calculated response function is obtained. The calculated response function is compared with predefined response functions stored in a look up table to find a match that is then selected. The ring signal is thereafter adjusted to a level that corresponds to the values associated with and stored together with the selected predefined response function.
