METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VIBRATION MECHANISM OF A MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a controller for detecting an event occurring when the mobile terminal is manipulated and controlling vibration of the mobile terminal according to a pre-set method based on a type of the event;
a memory for storing a vibration method in association with the type of the event; and
at least one vibration mechanism vibrating under the control of the controller,wherein the controller generates vibration if a parameter value related to the event exceeds a certain reference value.

Abstract
A mobile terminal comprising: a controller for detecting an event occurring when the mobile terminal is manipulated and controlling vibration of the mobile terminal according to a pre-set method based on a type of the event; a memory for storing the preferred vibration method according to the type of event; and at least one vibration mechanism vibrating under the control of the controller, wherein the controller generates vibration if a parameter value related to the event exceeds a certain reference value mechanism

8. A method for controlling a vibration mechanism of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
detecting a type of an event occurring when the terminal is manipulated, retrieving a vibration control method according to the type of the detected event, in response to a parameter value related to the event exceeding a particular reference value,; and driving a vibration mechanism at a particular position with a pre-set rhythm and strength according to the retrieved method. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method implemented in a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
-
providing a user with one or more options to customize manner in which at least a vibration mechanism installed in the mobile communication device vibrates in response to detection of one or more events; and customizing, in response to user input, the vibrations generated by the vibration mechanism for different events such that a differentiation between different types of events is made based on nature of different vibrations associated with each event. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
