With the rapidly increasing utility of smartphones, the evolution and development of smartphone apps have seen exponential growth. These intelligent apps now use all available technology in more intuitive and interactive ways, often combining disparate technologies to form new capabilities. Automation is arguably the main key to simplifying human efforts; pushing the reaches of human and artificial intelligence make it possible to broaden the horizon of smartphone capabilities. While there are thousands of mobile apps available at the Google’s play store (play.google.com), SoundOFF! switches sound modes at an unlimited number of user-defined locations based on the smartphone’s built-in GPS tracking and Google Maps.
The user presets the ringer mode (Ring, Vibrate, Mute) on their Android smartphone for frequently visited locations. For example, as the user reaches their office, SoundOFF! automatically switches from Ring to Vibrate or Mute, then reverts back to Ring when the user leaves work. This switching capability lets the user save specific locations, such as Home or Work, and SoundOFF! will change the ringer mode automatically within 50 to 1,500 feet of these saved locations.
What is SoundOFF!

If you constantly forget to change your smartphone’s ring settings, or you often visit sound-sensitive locations, such as libraries, hospitals or churches during the day, SoundOFF! is designed for you. To switch your smartphone’s ringer from Ring to Vibrate or Mute, the app uses your Smartphone’s GPS system and Google Maps to identify your location. When you arrive at a saved location, SoundOFF! automatically changes your ring setting. Similarly, SoundOFF! uses Google Map and the GPS to switch your phone from Ring to Vibrate when you reach a location normally considered a quiet zone, such as a library, a hospital or theater.
Moreover, you can designate important phone numbers as Vital Numbers. When you receive a call from one of these Vital Numbers, SoundOFF! overrides the default setting and rings a distinctive SOS ringtone.

Discussion
SoundOFF! is very user friendly, easy to use and takes only minutes to learn. SoundOFF!’s value is in automatically switching the ringer of your smartphone from Ring to Mute or Vibrate and vice-versa, within a preset distance from saved locations. This saves you the embarrassment of an ill-timed phone call at any of your frequently visited locations.
An example of SoundOFF! at work:
Suppose you have saved two locations in the app, for home and office. You set the ringer for these two locations as Ring for Home, and Vibrate for Office. When you reach the established distance from your office saved location, your phone automatically switches to Vibrate. When you leave work, the ringer automatically changes back to Ring. No need to remember to make the adjustment yourself, SoundOFF! does it for you.
