Abstract

Disclosed is a method for handling and generating and editing of digital documents or digital contents on mobile electronic devices in accordance with sensor data perceived. The method comprises the reception of sensor data or the monitoring of sensors, and the generation of said digital content according to said perceived sensor data. It is further disclosed a mobile terminal and a network device disclosed that are capable of handling a digital content according to the above mentioned methods.

Claims

1. Mobile electronic device comprising:

a storage device configured to store digital picture/video data;

a processor configured to edit and change said stored digital picture/video data; and

a component configured to obtain data provided from a sensor, said processor being configured to generate and/or process said digital picture/video data according to said obtained sensor data;

the mobile electronic device further comprising a mobile telephone;

said digital picture/video data to be edited comprising an announcement message contained in a mailbox of said mobile electronic device;

said processor being configured to generate and/or process a basic announcement of said mailbox automatically according to said obtained sensor data.

2. Mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the mobile electronic device further comprises a text-to-speech transducer to read out said announcement stored as a text data file.

3. Mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said storage device is configured to store digital content having digital audio data.

4. Mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said storage device is configured to store digital content having digital text data.

5. Mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said processor is configured to evaluate said obtained sensor data.

6. Mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said component configured to obtain sensor data comprises a receiver.

7. Mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said component configured to obtain sensor data comprises at least one sensor built-in in said mobile electronic device.
