Abstract
Improved approaches for adapting settings of wireless communication devices based on estimated proximity to respective users. In accordance with one aspect, one or more settings of a wireless communication device can be automatically altered in accordance with motion (if any) of the wireless communication device. Consequently, settings of the wireless communication device can be dynamically adapted based on the proximity (e.g., motion) of the wireless communication device to its user.
