Publication number: 20140337798Abstract: An apparatus with a graphical user interface includes a processor, a display screen coupled to said processor, and a navigational input device coupled to said processor. The processor is configured to display a plurality of information items on the display screen, position the information items on the display screen as a string of information items along a path, move the string of information items along said path in response to input from said navigational input device, and change a shape of said path in relation to a speed at which the string of information items moves along the path by including only straight sections at zero speed of movement of the string of information items and including one or more curves at increased speeds of movement of the string of information items.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Inventors: Erika REPONEN, Timo ELOMAA

Patent number: 8832575Abstract: Electronic device with a display screen and a navigational input device places information items in a string along a path on the display screen. The user can move the string of information items along the path at a variable speed by using the navigational input means. The shape of the path is changed in relation to the speed at which the string of information items is moved along the path. At low speeds the path is substantially rectangular and follows the outline of the rectangular display screen. At higher speeds the path becomes more and more curved.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2006Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Core Wireless Licensing S.a.r.lInventors: Erika Reponen, Timo Elomaa

Patent number: 7512416Abstract: The invention relates to an accessory part for a mobile station. In order to facilitate the use of the mobile station, it is proposed that the accessory part comprises a headset 8, 9 as well as a digital camera 3. Both can be connected simultaneously via a connector 1 of the accessory part to a mobile station. Thus, a user only has to handle a single accessory part in order to make use of two different functions enabled by a mobile station. The invention equally relates to a mobile station with which such an accessory part can be employed.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2002Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Inventors: Kati Arell, Timo Elomaa, Valtteri Eroma

Patent number: 7509140Abstract: The present invention is a method and mobile terminal which permits at least one mobile terminal function to be activated and selected using at least one soft key during an inactive and locked mode of a mobile terminal keypad. A mobile terminal in accordance with the invention includes a controller (18); a keypad (2) comprising a plurality of keys (7, 8a, 8b, 10), including at least one soft key coupled to the controller, the keypad being under control of the controller and having an active mode during which key inputs from the keys activate mobile terminal functions and the inactive mode during which a first type of key input from the at least one soft key to the controller does not activate the mobile terminal functions; and wherein during the inactive mode, the controller is responsive to a second type of key input from at least one soft key which activates at least one mobile terminal function without return to the active mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2005Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Timo Elomaa
