Trigger tone of a camera
First Claim
1. A digital camera comprising at leasta trigger button configured to trigger the camera,a memory unit configured to save pictures,a control unit that is configured tocontrol operation of the camera, andform a trigger tone in response to the trigger button being at least partially pushed down, anda tone generator that is configured to play a formed trigger tone,wherein the control unit is configured to form the trigger tone based on a current state of the camera, and to change the trigger tone based on a utilization of memory capacity and a memory capacity threshold, wherein the control unit is configured to form the trigger tone with increasing pitch for decreasing capacity.

Abstract
The invention relates to a digital camera comprising at least a memory unit for saving pictures and a control unit that is adapted to control the operation of the camera and to form a trigger tone on the basis of the state of the camera. The trigger tone indicates the triggering of the camera and the current state of the camera. The invention also relates to a method and a computer program product for forming an information tone of a digital camera.

5. A method comprising:
-
forming a trigger tone in response to a trigger button of a camera being at least partially pushed down, forming the trigger tone based on a current state of the camera, and changing the trigger tone based on a utilization level of memory capacity for storing pictures and a memory capacity threshold, wherein the trigger tone is formed with increasing pitch for indicating decreasing capacity. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A computer-readable medium having computer program code stored thereon, said code executable in a data processing device for maintaining an information tone of a digital camera, wherein when said code is executed it causes said device to perform
providing a trigger tone in response to a trigger button of the camera being at least partially pushed down, forming the trigger tone based on a current state of the camera, and changing the trigger tone based on a utilization level of memory capacity for storing pictures and on a memory capacity threshold, wherein the computer program code comprises instructions, which when executed, further cause said camera to perform providing the trigger tone with increasing pitch for decreasing capacity.
