Abstract

Although smart phones have many different functions nowadays, their primary function is calling. To answer calls successfully, ringtones are essential. The aim of this project is to create an application that would enable automatic adaptation of the ringtone to certain situations. The main task of the application will be adjusting the ringing based on the location of the phone. According to predefined locations set by the user, the application will change the ringtone based on where it is currently. The second task of the application will be adjusting the volume of the ringtone if the phone appears in a very noisy environment, so that it would minimize a chance that the incoming call would be overheard.
