Patent number: 8077628Abstract: Performing local peer volume polling by a mobile device is provided. In response to determining that a polling function is enabled in a mobile device, a request is transmitted to each of the peer mobile devices using the polling function. The polling function requests audible operation level setting data from peer mobile devices within a predetermined distance of the mobile device. A map is computed of the peer mobile devices, along with their associated audible operation level settings, based on responses to the request for the audible operation level setting data. The map and audible operation level settings for the peer mobile devices are analyzed using rules to detect an inappropriate volume setting for the mobile device. In response to determining that a current audible operation level setting for the mobile device is inappropriate using the rules, a new audible operation level setting is applied to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jarrad Andrew Giles, Justin Monroe Pierce
