  • Patent number: 10084899
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for enabling a communication via a mobile phone. In order to enable a comfortable creation of communications during a context of a mobile phone provided by a conventionally static application, it is proposed that the method comprises as a first step displaying information available for a specific content on a display of the mobile phone. In a next step, it is detected whether a user selected a displayed information. In case an information is selected, the kind of the selected information is determined. Then, functions associated to the kind of the selected information are presented on the display. To at least one kind of possible information the establishment of at least one kind of communication is associated as at least one function. Finally, a function selected by a user is activated. The invention relates equally to a corresponding mobile phone.

  • Patent number: 9176612
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a touch sensitive display for displaying a master application frame; a detector configured to detect a touch point of a user on display; at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code. The apparatus is configured to display the master application frame including a plurality of slave application frames; determine at least two slave application frames based on a first touch point; define a sweep function configured to detect a sweep gesture on the touch sensitive display between the first and a second touch point, and adjust sizes of the determined slave application frames, in a non-overlapped manner, based on the detected sweep gesture. Furthermore, the apparatus is configured to detect a third touch point on a border line for at least two slave application frames; and trigger an overlapping slave application frame in response to the detected third touch point.

  • Publication number: 20050253818
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of interpreting a control command given on a touch screen of a portable electronic device, in which method the combination of a touch on an area interpreted as a contact area and a release of the touch from the area interpreted as said same contact area is interpreted as a control command. The method comprises interpreting, once the contact area has been touched, a larger contact area as said same contact area for the release of the touch than the contact area before the touch.

  • Publication number: 20050010658
    Abstract: A method for improving the establishment of a group call between terminals in a telecommunication system, in which at least some of the terminals maintain data in the system concerning a dynamic profile, which is available to other terminals, and which terminals maintain groups defined by the user comprising one or more terminal numbers. When a group call is being established to the terminals defined by the group provided, the profile of the terminals is checked and the group call is established based at least partly on the data provided by the profile of the terminals. In addition, a terminal in the telecommunication system is described.

  • Publication number: 20040036699
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of identifying symbols in a portable electronic device comprising: a screen, a contact surface and a contact area for symbol creation located. The method comprises detecting (302) the start of a symbol creation function; enlarging (304) the size of the contact area for symbol creation after the start of the symbol creation function and interpreting (310) a symbol created in the enlarged contact area for symbol creation. The invention also relates to a portable electronic device comprising: a screen, a contact surface and a contact area for symbol creation. The device comprises means (100, 106) for: detecting the start of a symbol creation function; enlarging the size of the contact area for symbol creation after the start of the symbol creation function and interpreting a symbol created in the enlarged contact area for symbol creation.
