Abstract

In some implementations, a method for managing warning notifications includes identifying a trigger event. A status of a setting in User Equipment (UE) to indicate at least one of enablement or disablement of warning notifications in a wireless system is determined. In response to at least the trigger event, the status of the setting for warning notifications is automatically presented through the UE.

Claims (34)

1. A method for managing warning notifications, comprising:

selecting, by a User Equipment (UE), a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN);

identifying a PLMN identity (ID) of the PLMN;

retrieving a warning notification configuration, wherein the warning notification configuration includes a mapping between a plurality of PLMN IDs and a plurality of UE settings, each of the plurality of PLMN IDs maps to one of the plurality of UE settings, each of the plurality of PLMN IDs corresponds to a respective PLMN, and each of the plurality of UE settings indicates whether to enable or disable warning notifications received through a PLMN corresponding to a PLMN ID that is mapped to the respective UE setting;

based on the mapping and the identified PLMN ID, determining a status of a setting in the UE to indicate at least one of enablement or disablement of warning notifications in the PLMN independent of receiving the status from the PLMN; and

in response to at least the determining, automatically presenting the status of the setting for warning notifications through the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a selection from a user of the UE to update a setting for automatic indication of the status through the UE; and

updating the setting for the automatic indication of the status.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the status includes at least one of displaying information using the UE or emitting an audio signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE operates in a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network, or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network.

5. A User Equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

select a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN);

identify a PLMN identity (ID) of the PLMN;

retrieve a warning notification configuration, wherein the warning notification configuration includes a mapping between a plurality of PLMN IDs and a plurality of UE settings, each of the plurality of PLMN IDs maps to one of the plurality of UE settings, each of the plurality of PLMN IDs corresponds to a respective PLMN, and each of the plurality of UE settings indicates whether to enable or disable warning notifications received through a PLMN corresponding to a PLMN ID that is mapped to the respective UE setting;

based on the mapping and the identified PLMN ID, determine a status of a setting in the UE to indicate at least one of enablement or disablement of warning notifications in the PLMN independent of receiving the status from the PLMN; and

in response to at least the determining, automatically present the status of the setting for warning notifications through the UE.

6. The UE of claim 5 , the one or more processors further configured to:

receive a selection from a user of the UE to update a setting for automatic indication of the status through the UE; and

update the setting for the automatic indication of the status.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein presenting the status includes at least one of displaying information using the UE or emitting an audio signal.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the UE operates in a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network, or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network.

9. A computer program product encoded on a non-transitory, tangible storage medium, the product comprising computer readable instructions for causing at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

selecting, by a User Equipment (UE), a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN);

identifying a PLMN identity (ID) of the PLMN;

retrieving a warning notification configuration, wherein the warning notification configuration includes a mapping between a plurality of PLMN IDs and a plurality of UE settings, each of the plurality of PLMN IDs maps to one of the plurality of UE settings, each of the plurality of PLMN IDs corresponds to a respective PLMN, and each of the plurality of UE settings indicates whether to enable or disable warning notifications received through a PLMN corresponding to a PLMN ID that is mapped to the respective UE setting;

based on the mapping and the identified PLMN ID, determining a status of a setting in the UE to indicate at least one of enablement or disablement of warning notifications in the PLMN independent of receiving the status from the PLMN; and

in response to at least the determining, automatically presenting the status of the setting for warning notifications through the UE.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a selection from a user of the UE to update a setting for automatic indication of the status through the UE; and

updating the setting for the automatic indication of the status.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein presenting the status includes at least one of displaying information using the UE or emitting an audio signal.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the UE operates in a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network, a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network.
