Abstract: A method comprises receiving an indication of a bending force in excess of a first predetermined threshold being applied to a communications device, and responding to receipt of the indication of the bending force in excess of the first predetermined threshold by causing a message to be transmitted from the communications device to a remote receiver, or responding to subsequent receipt of an indication that the bending force has subsequently fallen below a second predetermined threshold by causing a message to be transmitted from the communication device to a remote receiver.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing an enhanced user interface. A method may include causing display of a semi-transparent user interface layer concurrent with a second user interface layer. At least a portion of the semi-transparent user interface layer and at least a portion of the second user interface layer may overlap. The method may further include detecting a physical stimulus. The method may additionally include determining an effect of the physical stimulus on display of content in the semi-transparent user interface layer. The method may also include applying the determined effect by modifying display of content in the semi-transparent user interface layer in response to detection of the physical stimulus. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program are provided. a method, comprising: controlling a display to display a user movable lamina modeled using an array of particles; and controlling movement of the user movable lamina on the display by controlling, using a first distance relationship, relative spacing of a first particle in the array and at least one other particle adjacent to the first particle in the array, and by controlling, using a second distance relationship, relative spacing of the first particle and at least one further particle not adjacent to the first particle in the array.
