TLDR
In this article, a method for adjusting the volume of a mobile device in relation to environment noise is presented, which includes sampling ambient noise around the mobile device to obtain at least one audio sample and measuring volume of the audio sample to determine volume of ambient noise.Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments, a method for adjusting volume of a mobile device in relationship to environment noise is provided. The method comprises sampling ambient noise around the mobile device to obtain at least one audio sample; measuring volume of the at least one audio sample to determine volume of the ambient noise; increasing the volume of the mobile device, when the volume of the ambient noise is greater than a first threshold value; and decreasing the volume of the mobile device, when the volume of the ambient noise is less than a second threshold value.read more

Patent
Mobile terminal device to controlling incoming call notifying method
TL;DR: In this article, a mobile terminal device detects ambient sounds by a microphone and a filter separates the detected ambient sounds into a speech component and a non-speech component, and a decision section selects a ringing tone generating section, a vibrator or a light emitting section based on which one of the speech components and the nonspeech components is the dominant component and the volume of that dominant component.

Method and apparatus for controlling a telephone ring signal
TL;DR: In this article, an audio processor samples the microphone input signal, which is indicative of ambient noise, and performs a spectral analysis of the ambient noise spectrum and then sets the ring frequency and the ring volume responsive to the ambient noises spectrum and the volume control level set by the user.
Patent
Telephone ring generator with automatic volume control according to the ambient noise level
TL;DR: In this article, the volume of the ringing tone is controlled depending on the level of ambient noise to ensure that ringing tone volume is sufficient to be heard above the ambient noise while not being too loud to startle.
