Smart container
A method of alerting a user to an incoming communication on a mobile communication device. The method includes setting the mobile communications device to a state in which alerts about incoming messages are not provided to user of the device, receiving a message at the device, determining if the message is high priority and then generating an alert to the presence of the message with high priority. The step of setting the mobile device to the state may include placing the device into a smart container 2 which may contain a sensor for detecting the presence of the device. The sensor may be a weight sensor. Apparatus suitable for performing the method are also provided. Other aspects include monitoring selected content on a device, managing multiple devices and managing containment of contents of a smart container. The invention seeks to more effectively manage the time spent using mobile communications devices.
