Abstract
A mobile electronic device generates a signal in response to an event in the device for informing the user of the occurrence of the event. The electronic device is provided with an orientation sensor or a movement sensor. The electronic device is configured to adapt the signal that is generated upon occurrence of an event when the device detects that the orientation of the device is changed or that the device is moved.

- 1. A mobile electronic device configured to generate a signal upon an event in said device for informing a user of the device about the occurrence of the event, said device being provided with a movement and/or orientation sensor and said device being configured to adapt the signal in response to the orientation and/or movement of the device as detected by said movement and/or orientation sensor.
- 10. A method for controlling signals generated by a mobile electronic upon an event in said device for informing a user of the device about the occurrence of the event, said method comprises monitoring a sensor signal from a movement and/or orientation sensor in said device and adapting the signal in response to the orientation and/or movement of the device as sensed by said movement and/or orientation sensor.
- 16. A mobile electronic device with a user interface that can be manually or automatically disabled for user input, said device being provided with movements and/or orientation sensor, said device being configured to enable at least a portion of the disabled user interface for user input when the device detects that the device has assumed a predetermined position or has made a predetermined movement or type of movement.
