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.

Claims

1. A mobile communication terminal comprising a display,

a memory arranged to store zero or more digital notes items,

a controller,

a digital notes application arranged to handle, via said controller, at least one of said digital notes items wherein a presence of a digital notes item in said memory is visually indicated by a graphical representation on said display.

2. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 comprising a two-display user itnerface with a first inner display and a second outer display and in which said display defined in claim 1 and said second outer display are the same display.

3. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 wherein said graphical representation is arranged to be displayed when the terminal is in a idle mode, and is dependant on the number of digital notes stored in said memory, wherein no notes stored has a graphical representation of no icon visible,

one digital note item stored has the graphical representation of said icon being visible and

more than one digital note item stored has the graphical representation of said icon with a number indicating the number of notes.

4. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 wherein each digital note item has a text and the graphical representation of a digital note comprises an at least partial printout of the text.

5. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 wherein the graphical representations of all of the zero or more digital notes are arranged to be displayed one at a time and a key comprised in the terminal is arranged, upon being depressed, to instruct said controller to switch the graphical representation currently being displayed.

6. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 4 wherein said graphical representation is arranged to carry an identification number identifying at least one digital note item and the text of the digital note item is arranged to be displayed on the display upon depression of a key comprised in the mobile communication terminal, said key corresponding to the number identifying the digital note.

7. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 6 wherein said graphical representation includes a list composed of at least a part of the text of at least one of the zero or more digital notes.

8. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 wherein the display has a size and the graphical representation has a size and the size of the graphical representation is slightly smaller than the size of the display.

9. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 wherein said digital notes items are arranged to be provided by a digital calendar application also stored in said memory.

10. A mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 wherein said digital notes application is arranged to be started via one of the following arrangements:
