I bring to your attention the function of a mobile phone, which will make the phone more convenient to use. The function should give the cell phone the opportunity to feel that it is in the hands of a person.
As soon as a person picks up the phone, the device enters a special mode, while the settings of the incoming call melody change: the melody becomes short, the vibration is absent or short. And vice versa: as soon as the phone is in your pocket (in the bag, on the table), the mode becomes standard.
The logic is simple: if the phone is located next to a person, the ring tone is quiet and short, if far away - a loud melody is used.
Examples of using:')
1.
SMSYou hold the phone in your hands and type the text, sms, and suddenly someone calls you or SMS arrives on the phone. Now the mobile phone responds to it very loudly - it starts ringing and vibrating as if you are in another room. And with the new function this will not happen, but there will be an easy pleasant sound loss. After all, it is logical - you are next to the phone, why use a loud call?
2.
Library, meetingIt so happens that they call the phone, and at this time you are in the library or at a meeting - in a place where you have to be quiet. And the phone behaves defiantly (after all, you forgot to switch the phone to “Silent” mode), and as luck would have it at such moments, the mobile phone refuses to get out of the pocket of jeans. And even when the phone is titanic in your hands, it takes time to figure out who is calling and what to do next: reset, remove the sound (not all cellular models have it), answer the call. In any case, you feel awkward in such situations. Smart technology comes to the rescue: as soon as the phone rang, all you have to do is touch it so that it stops.
ImplementationFrom a technical point of view, the implementation is simple - you can apply the widely used touch technology. And there is no need to turn the entire body of the phone into a huge sensor, it is enough to stretch a thin strip sensor along the entire side of the case. Because when you hold a mobile phone in your hand, you always touch the sides of the handset.
What do you think, therefore, about whether you need such a function of a mobile phone?
