First Claim
Patent Images
1. A motion sensitive illumination method for a mobile device, the method comprising:
- measuring a first motion attribute of the mobile device using a motion sensor to produce a first value;
comparing the first value with a threshold value; and
adjusting illumination intensity of an illuminating mechanism that illuminates a user interface component of the mobile device, when the first value is not approximately equal to a first threshold value.

11. A motion sensitive illumination system for illuminating one or more user interface components of a mobile device, the illumination system comprising:
-
a motion sensor for measuring a first change in a motion attribute of the mobile device;
a first illumination mechanism for illuminating at least a first user interface component; and
a power management module for adjusting illumination intensity of the first illumination mechanism based on the first change in the motion attribute of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of configuring one or more lock states for at least one user interface of a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
monitoring at least one motion attribute of the mobile device; and
switching at least one user interface of the mobile device from a first lock state to a second lock state, when said at least one motion attribute reaches a first threshold value.
