Method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment and corresponding terminal equipment
First Claim
1. A method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment, in which the terminal equipment includes the said input component, for controlling the operations of the terminal equipment, and the display component, and in which terminal equipment there are at least two states, of whichin the first, open, state, the terminal equipment implements the operations directed to it through the input component, and in whichsecond, locked, state, the terminal equipment does not implement the operations directed to it through the input component, but instead implements an indicator effect in at least one of the input and the display component, in order to visualize at least one of the input and the display component,characterized in that the said indicator effect is implemented by means of light with at least one of a duration of about 0.1 to about 5 seconds and with a luminance of about 0.1 to about 2 cd/m2.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment. The terminal equipment includes the said input component for controlling the operations of the terminal equipment and the display component. The terminal equipment (10) has at least two states, of which in the first, open, state, the terminal equipment implements the operations directed to it through the input component and in which second, locked, state, the terminal equipment does not implement the operations directed to it through the input component but instead implements an indicator effect in the input and/or the display component in order to visualize the input and/or the display component.

1. A method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment, in which the terminal equipment includes the said input component, for controlling the operations of the terminal equipment, and the display component, and in which terminal equipment there are at least two states, of which
in the first, open, state, the terminal equipment implements the operations directed to it through the input component, and in which second, locked, state, the terminal equipment does not implement the operations directed to it through the input component, but instead implements an indicator effect in at least one of the input and the display component, in order to visualize at least one of the input and the display component, characterized in that the said indicator effect is implemented by means of light with at least one of a duration of about 0.1 to about 5 seconds and with a luminance of about 0.1 to about 2 cd/m2.
- 10. Terminal equipment comprising a keypad component, a means for lighting, and a display component, wherein the keypad component and the display component are arranged so as to be illuminated by the means for lighting in which the said keypad component is arranged to be locked such that the terminal equipment is unable to perform operations, the keypad component being arranged to create an indicator effect to visualize the keypad component, wherein the terminal equipment implements the indicator effect by activating the means for lighting with at least one of a duration of about 0.1 to about 5 seconds and a luminance of about 0.1 to about 2 cd/m2.

15. A wireless mobile terminal equipment, comprising:
-
a plurality of keys; a display; a means for lighting the display and the plurality of keys, wherein the plurality of keys have an unlocked state and a locked state, the unlocked state permitting input from the plurality of keys to perform operations on the wireless mobile terminal equipment, the locked state preventing input from the plurality of keys to perform operations on the wireless mobile terminal equipment and providing an indicator effect in at least one of the plurality of keys and the display, wherein the plurality of keys enter the unlocked state from the locked state through input of a predetermined combination of keys of the plurality of keys in a particular sequence, wherein the indicator effect is an illumination of at least one of the plurality of keys for at least one of a predetermined duration and a predetermined luminance, wherein the indicator effect is the illumination of the at least one of the plurality of keys for at least one of a predetermined duration of 1 to 3 seconds and a predetermined luminance of 0.1 to 5 cd/m2. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
