Abstract
An apparatus, and an associated method, disables the functionality of a portion of a user interface of a communication device, such as a wireless device, for a limited period. A detector detects an alert, (such as an alert communication activity,) such as the delivery at the communication device of notification of a communication termination at the communication device. Responsive to the detection, a portion of the user interface is disabled by a disabler. Disabling of the portion of the user interface is for a limited period and prevents a user of the device from inadvertently rejecting, or accepting the terminating communication until the limited period expires.
