Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for organizational context-based operations of a mobile device are described herein. One device includes instructions stored thereon executable by a processor to determine location information corresponding to a mobile device in a facility associated with an organization, determine a particular area of the facility in which the mobile device is located based on the location information, determine an organizational context while the device is in the particular area, and cause a change of an operation of the mobile device based on the context.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 determine location information corresponding to a mobile device in a facility associated with an organization;   determine a portion of the facility in which the mobile device is located based on the location information;   determine an organizational context while the device is in the portion of the facility; and   cause a change in operation of the mobile device based on the context.   
     
     
         2 . The medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to determine the organizational context include instructions to determine a group of the organization to which a user associated with the mobile device belongs. 
     
     
         3 . The medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to determine the location information include instructions to determine the location information responsive to a communication being established between the mobile device and a beacon associated with the facility. 
     
     
         4 . The medium of  claim 3 , wherein the beacon is one of a plurality of beacons installed within the facility. 
     
     
         5 . The medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to determine the location information include instructions to determine the location information responsive to a communication between the mobile device and an access reader of an access control system associated with the facility. 
     
     
         6 . The medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to determine the organizational context include instructions to determine a time associated with the determination of the portion of the facility in which the mobile device is located. 
     
     
         7 . The medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the change in operation of the mobile device include instructions to cause a change in an audio profile of the mobile device. 
     
     
         8 . The medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the change in the operation of the mobile device include instructions to cause the mobile device to display information promulgated by the organization. 
     
     
         9 . The medium of  claim 8 , wherein the information corresponds to the portion of the facility in which the mobile device is located. 
     
     
         10 . The medium of  claim 9 , wherein the information additionally corresponds to a time associated with the determination of the portion of the facility in which the mobile device is located. 
     
     
         11 . A system, comprising:
 an access reader of an access control system associated with a facility;   a wireless beacon installed in the facility; and   a mobile device configured to change from a first audio profile to a second audio profile responsive to a determination that the mobile device is located in a particular portion of the facility based on a communication between the mobile device and at least one of the access reader and the wireless beacon.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is configured to:
 change from the first audio profile to the second audio profile responsive to a determination that the mobile device is located in the particular area of the facility during a particular time period; and   not change from the first audio profile to the second audio profile responsive to a determination that the mobile device is located in the particular area of the facility outside of the particular time period.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is configured to change from the first audio profile to the second audio profile responsive to a determination that the mobile device has entered the facility. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the particular portion of the facility is a particular room of the facility. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is configured to change from the first audio profile to the second audio profile responsive to an input made using an interface of the mobile device. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the mobile device is configured to prompt a user to perform the input using the interface of the mobile device. 
     
     
         17 . A method for organizational context-based operations of a mobile device, comprising:
 determining that a mobile device is located in a particular portion of a facility controlled, at least in part, by an organization, based on a communication between the mobile device and at least one of an access reader and a wireless beacon of the facility;   determining a group of the organization to which a user associated with the mobile device belongs;   determining a time context associated with the mobile device being in the particular portion;   receiving information from the organization, the information determined based on the group and the time context; and   displaying the information via the mobile device.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the method includes displaying the information via an application executed by the mobile device. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the particular portion is a conference room of the facility, and wherein the information includes instructions for establishing a conference call in the conference room. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the method includes ceasing displaying the information via the mobile device responsive to a determination that the mobile device has exited the particular portion of the facility.
