Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer program and user interface wherein the method includes providing a plurality of selectable control elements where the plurality of selectable control elements are sorted into categories according to a first sorting criterion and sorted into positions within the categories according to a second sorting criterion; controlling a display to present a first one of the plurality of selectable control elements wherein the first one of the selectable control elements is positioned in a determined category at a determined position within the determined category; enabling a user to control the display to present a second one of the plurality of selectable control elements by enabling a first type of directional user input to select a different category and enabling a second type of directional user input to select a position within the selected category without changing the selected category.

Abstract: There is provided an electronic device comprising: a body, a slidable element connected to the body, a display connected to the body for displaying application views, and a processing unit for controlling functions of the electronic device, wherein the slidable element is slidable between a closed position and an open position relative to the body. The processing unit is configured to detect an occurrence of one or more intermediate positions of the slidable element relative to the body, the intermediate positions being associated with one or more application views and residing between the closed position and the open position; and to control which predetermined application view is displayed on the display on the basis of the detected occurrence of one or more intermediate positions of the slidable element.

Abstract: A device having a display, an illuminator configured to illuminate the display and a multi-way input key configured to control the illuminator upon activation. The illuminator also has a power output, the output level being arranged to be regulated upon activation of the multi-way input key proportional to a physical movement activating the multi-way input key.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mobile communications device and a method for controlling a menu on a mobile communications device having a display with an idle mode background image. The method comprises receiving a user input from a control device, relating the user input to an area of said display, determining an application which is linked to said area such that said application is executed in response to the selection of said area, and superposing an application icon associated with said application over at least a part of said idle mode background image.

Abstract: There is provided an electronic device comprising a processing unit for controlling functions of the electronic device, an input device coupled to the processing unit for receiving voice control, and a voice recognition unit coupled to the processing unit, the processing unit being configured to control functions of the electronic device on the basis of detected voice control. The processing unit is further configured to detect an occurrence of an event processed in the electronic device, the event being set as a trigger for initiating a voice recognition process for the voice control; and to initiate the voice recognition process for the voice control when the event set as a trigger for initiating the voice recognition process is detected to occur.

Abstract: In an electronic device having a multi-dimensional input device to input information, a mechanical restraining mechanism is used to mechanically engage with at least a part of the multi-dimensional device when the latter is not used so as to prevent unintended input of information in the electronic device. The multi-dimensional input device can be a joystick or a sliding disc, which can be latched to a docking slot or engaged with a clamp.

Abstract: A telecommunication system comprising a mobile telecommunication network and a mobile communication apparatus arranged to communicate with said mobile telecommunication network is disclosed. The mobile communication apparatus comprises a controller, and is associated with a first and a second display, wherein said controller is arranged to control said first display to view a first set of information and said second display to view a second set of information. A method for providing messages in the telecommunication system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for event countdown in a mobile communication apparatus is disclosed, including the steps of: selecting an event, an interval for the countdown, wherein the interval is a time before the event where the countdown starts, and a presentation of the countdown; and performing the presentation during the interval. Further, a mobile communication apparatus with an event countdown application is disclosed. The mobile communication apparatus performs a presentation in response to a time interval prior an event. Further, a computer program for performing the event countdown is disclosed.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal having a display, a memory arranged to store zero or more digital notes items, a controller and a digital notes application. The digital notes application is arranged to handle, via said controller, at least one of said digital notes items. A presence of a digital note item in said memory is visually indicated by a graphical representation on said display.

Abstract: A mobile terminal having a user interface formed by a controller, a display and a multi-way input device for navigating and selecting among information shown on the display is presented. The controller is adapted, in a current context among a plurality of possible contexts, to make different logical actions available for selection by a user through respective associated physical actions on the multi-way input device, and to present, for a logical action available in the current context, information on the display that serves to indicate the physical action associated with and selectable by the logical action as well as to explain the logical action.
