Telecommunication terminal and a method for communicating with a server by means of a telecommunication terminal
First Claim
1. A mobile telephone comprising:
- a receiver and a transmitter arranged respectively to receive and to transmit data through a telecommunication network; and
a user interface including a keypad provided with a group of keys, said group of keys being switchable depending on an input from said keypad between a first state and a second state, each of said group of keys being operable in said first state for allowing entry of alpha-numerical input for display, and a display arranged to display inputs; and
whereinsaid mobile telephone is arranged when said group of keys is in the second state to disable said alpha-numerical input of at least one pre-defined key in said group of keys, and to enable said at least one pre-defined key to call a sub-function of a browser application for communication with a server, for facilitating browsing on the server, wherein said sub-function of said at least one pre-defined key when said group of keys is in said second state is user-definable.

Abstract
A telecommunication terminal (1,300) comprising a receiver and a transmitter (19) arranged to receive and transmit data, through a telecommunication network (310). The terminal further comprises a user interface (2–6) having display means (3,13) and a key-pad. The key-pad is provided with a group of keys arranged to type an alpha-numerical input to be displayed as an output on the display means. The display means is arranged to display different inputs and states depending on the input from the keypad. One pre-defined key in the group of keys is further arranged to a function for communicating with another terminal, at one state as is arranged to be displayed on said display means. This state will disable the alpha-numerical input of the pre-defined key and enables the function for communicating with another terminal, in order to facilitate browsing on the other terminal.

9. A method of communicating with a server by means of a mobile telephone in a system including a receiver and a transmitter, and
a user interface including a keypad provided with a group of keys, said group of keys being switchable between a first state and a second state, each of said group of keys being operable in said first state for enabling entry of an alpha-numerical input, and a display arranged to display inputs, and wherein the method comprises the steps of sending a request to said server through said transmitter for establishing a connection with said server, receiving a response by means of said receiver from said server confirming the connection to said server, and when the group of keys is in the second state disabling said alpha-numerical input of at least one pre-defined key in said group of keys on said keypad, enabling said at least one pre-defined key to call a sub-function of a browser application for communicating with said server upon an input from said at least one pre-defined key, and allowing said sub-function of said at least one pre-defined key when said group of keys is in said second state to be user-definable.
