METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ANTENNAS OF MOBILE TERMINAL DEVICE AND SUCH A MOBILE TERMINAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- reducing an amount of electromagnetic waves emitted from a mobile terminal device having a plurality of antennas such that a specific absorption rate of a user is reduced, the reducing an amount of electromagnetic waves further comprising;
determining a usage of said mobile terminal device;
determining an antenna to be disabled among the plurality of antennas based on an orientation of the plurality of antennas with respect to the user, the orientation being determined according to the usage that is determined; and
disabling the antenna to be disabled.

Abstract
A method for controlling antennas of a mobile terminal device such as a laptop PC and a handheld PC without degrading communication speed or quality and a mobile terminal device having such control means are provided. The method comprises determining the usage of the mobile terminal device, determining an antenna to be disabled among the plurality of antennas according to the usage that is determined by the determining of usage, and disabling the antenna which is determined by determining of an antenna to be disabled, wherein the determining of usage determines usage based on the display orientation of the display unit of the mobile terminal device.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display unit having one or more antennas therein; a control unit that determines which of the one or more antennas is to be disabled such that an amount of electromagnetic waves emitted from the one or more antennas and absorbed by a user is reduced, the control unit being configured to determine if one of the one or more antennas is positioned in a downmost position; an antenna control unit that controls the one or more antennas, the antenna control unit being configured to disable the one of the one or more antennas positioned in the downmost position. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
