Abstract
A cellular or wireless mobile handset includes a processor configured with software to monitor time, date, location and other parameters, and change customization settings, known as themes, based upon the monitored parameter. Multiple themes may be stored on the mobile handset and implemented by the mobile handset processor based upon a variety of circumstances. A theme server may be accessed by the mobile handset to download theme settings and files. Working together, mobile handsets and a theme server can provide location-specific as well as time/date specific themes to mobile handsets.
