USER INTERFACE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING APPARATUS, AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A user interface for a portable apparatus, the user interface comprising a sensor arranged to determine a spatial change, wherein said user interface being arranged to control at least one function, wherein the function is controlled by said determined spatial change;
- an actuator arrangement; and
at least one mass, wherein the actuator arrangement is arranged to controllably actuate at least one of the at least one mass by acceleration to by inertia of the actuated mass provide a force on the portable apparatus.

Abstract
A user interface for a portable apparatus is disclosed. The user interface comprises a sensor arranged to determine a spatial change, wherein said user interface being arranged to control at least one function, wherein the function is controlled by said determined spatial change; an actuator arrangement; and at least one mass, wherein the actuator arrangement is arranged to controllably actuate at least one of the at least one mass by acceleration to by inertia of the actuated mass provide a force on the portable apparatus. Further, an apparatus, a method, and a computer program for controlling a function are disclosed.
