Mobile communication terminal and method
First Claim
1. A method for providing a user interface of a mobile communication terminal, comprising a mode switch actuator, said mobile communication terminal having at least two operational modes, said method comprising:
- detecting an actuation of said 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 said mobile communication terminal from said first operational mode to said second operational mode.

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.
