1. An apparatus comprising:
- an interface configured to communicate in a first radio network, where the first radio network comprises a short range radio network;
the interface configured to communicate, to another apparatus, a representation of a graphical user interface configured to enable interaction between the another apparatus and said apparatus over said first radio network; and
a control unit configured to control a power save mode of the first radio network in accordance with at least an activity state of the graphical user interface, where the control unit is configured to decrease a level of said power save mode in accordance with an increase in the activity state and increase a level of said power save mode in accordance with a decrease in the activity state.
