Do Not Disturb Broadcast

Idea: App to enable/disable Do Not Disturb mode on multiple devices when one device makes/receives a call.

Problem: Answer a call on one phone, then a call comes in on Skype (tablet) and then another call on another phone.

Initial thoughts

  • How do we link devices?
  • Should links be uni or bi-directional?
  • Should a device broadcast a 'Do Not Disturb' signal and only linked devices respond (a bit like networking where NICs only care about packets destined for their address)? Privacy implications?
  • Can we detect the start and end of any 'call' - including all the different apps, phone etc.?
  • We need to 'revert' to the previous setting, so if a device was already in DND mode before the broadcast, it should be unchanged at the end of the call (i.e. always revert rather than toggle).
