  • Publication number: 20080269018
    Abstract: A method for providing a user interface of an exercise application of a mobile communication terminal having a display. The method includes accepting a first input defining a user layout of containers for exercise related measurements; accepting a second input for associating an exercise related measurement with each of the containers; and when exercising is determined to have begun, displaying the user layout of the containers on the display, each container showing an associated exercise related measurement. Further methods, mobile terminals, system, and computer program products related to exercise applications in mobile terminals are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20080233937
    Abstract: It is presented a method for providing a user interface of a mobile communication terminal comprising a mode switch actuator, where the mobile communication terminal has at least two operational modes. The method comprises the: detecting an actuation of the mode switch actuator; determining a first operational mode being a currently active operational mode; determining a second operational mode to switch to; and switching operational mode of the mobile communication terminal from the first operational mode to the second operational mode. This provides a user interface which may be different for each operational mode, enhancing usability by excluding user interface items that are unnecessary for each operational mode. Corresponding multimode devices and computer program product are also presented.
