  • Publication number: 20040088568
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a locking function in a locking arrangement. The method presented comprises creating (300) a database from predetermined objects; determining (302) at least one user-specific inter-object internal order in the database; detecting (304) a control command for starting the control of the locking function; displaying (306) a predetermined number of objects on the display of the locking arrangement once the control command is detected; detecting (308) the selection order of the objects; and changing (316) the lock state when the detected object selection order is at least sufficiently close to a given user-specific inter-object internal order.

  • Publication number: 20040085351
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a touch screen and is configured to enter a lock state upon the fulfilment of a predetermined condition. The device is configured to display one or more images on the touch screen when the device is in the lock state, of which images one or more includes at least one predetermined point. The device is further configured to detect a touch on a predetermined point in one or more images and to deactivate the device lock state upon detection of a predetermined number of touches on successive images including a predetermined point.

  • Publication number: 20030166399
    Abstract: A mobile electronic apparatus including a memory and a system for prioritizing the user stored files in the memory relative to one another. The memory includes user stored files therein. Each user stored file has more than one different prioritization parameter associated therewith. The system for prioritizing the user stored files in the memory relative to one another includes means for prioritizing the user stored files relative to each other based upon at least two of the different prioritization parameters.

  • Publication number: 20030013505
    Abstract: System and method for identifying various types of room facilities to find out and take into account space information. A tag of a space (S2) is included in the fluctuation of the intensity of the light emitted by a lamp (LF1) provided in the space in question. The receivers included in the system are arranged e.g. in commercial mobile stations (R1). These are provided with a light detector and with a DSP algorithm that analyses the signal given by said light detector. As a result of the analysis, for instance the mobile station is automatically switched off when entering the space in question. There is neither needed a separate transmitter nor separate energy supply arrangements to send the space tag, and the space tag signal can be detected throughout said space. As regards the mobile station, the space-specific operations can be performed automatically, so that the mobile station user does not need to bother, and his possible negligence does not prevent the precautions from being executed.
