  • Patent number: 5819175
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining the function of a press-button switch. A press-button switch (3; 31,32, . . . , 3N) has been arranged in a peripheral (2) connected detachably to a mobile-phone (1). According to the method, a press-button switch (e.g. 31) is pressed when the mobile phone (1) and the peripheral (2) are electrically coupled. Thereafter, the detection data of said pressed press-button switch (31) are transmitted from the peripheral (2) to the mobile phone (1), to the data processing unit (13) thereof. The function of the pressed press-button switch (31) is determined with the aid of the key pad (7), the data processing unit (13) of the mobile phone (1), and the data and the instructions stored in the memory unit (15) thereof. The function of the press-button switch of the peripheral thus determined is stored in the memory unit (15) of the mobile phone (1), whereafter the press-button switch is available for use.
