Abstract

An embodiment relates to a novel apparatus and method for changing modes of notification in an electronic device. An electronic device includes a calendar application and a variety of other applications such as the message reader application or the daily alarm application.

In one embodiment, the user specifically associates a profile behavior to the calendar entry when the calendar entry is first created.
