CPC Class H04W

In one embodiment, a method includes generating a waveform fingerprint based on captured ambient audio data; calculating a location of the computing system; sending the generated waveform fingerprint and the location to a server; and receiving instructions from the server to adjust one or more device settings of an output device of the computing system. The instructions being based at least in part on identifying one or more audio fingerprints that match the generated waveform fingerprint and correlating one or more of the identified audio fingerprints to a physical environment of the computing system. The method also includes adjusting one or more of the device settings of the output device of the computing system in accordance with the received instructions.

In a telecommunications network, an incoming connection request to a primary (mobile) device may be terminated at a selected secondary device based on location information (WiFi connectivity, GPS location, Bluetooth connection). Similarly, a user may move an existing connection from the primary device to the secondary device, and back, by simple interaction with the primary device. A Mobile Device Application (MDA) resident in the primary device may control the termination and movement of connection requests and connections.

A method and system enabling an initiator based process for preventing distracted driving is provided. The method includes continuously retrieving by a mobile device from a plurality of sensing devices, sensor data. The sensor data is analyzed and based on the analysis it is determined that a user of the mobile device is currently operating a vehicle. A message is generated indicating that the user is currently operating the vehicle. The message is transmitted to and stored by a server.
