Abstract: A system and method for providing a three-dimensional object on a display of an electronic device when the electronic device is in an idle mode. The three-dimensional object enables a user to both view and manipulate more material than would otherwise be available while the device is in an idle mode. The three-dimensional object can be customized by the user so that material of particular interest to the user appears when the device is in the idle mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing information in a terminal that comprises means for selecting the data group to be processed, and at least one processing means for processing the selected data group. In the method at least a first processing state and a second processing state are determined, as well as a group of functions for said processing means of the data group. In the method the processing state used at a time is recognized, and a function corresponding to the processing state is set in said at least one processing means of the data group. The invention also relates to a terminal and a wireless communication device applying the method.
