1. An apparatus comprising:
- a multi-medial user interface,a controller, anda memory configured to store a plurality of profiles, each profile defining a respective behavior pattern of said multi-medial user interface and being definable by a user of the apparatus, whereinsaid controller is configured to provide a first control parameter representative of a desired profile selected by the user in combination with one or more look and feel attributes applied from an application initiated by the user, wherein the look and feel attributes are specified by said user;
said controller is configured to provide a second control parameter representative of a contextual status of said mobile terminal; and
said controller is configured to modify a behavior pattern of said multi-medial user interface depending on said first and second control parameters;
wherein said second control parameter is generated in response to at least one of the following;
the occurrence of a predefined event in the application of said mobile terminal;
the presence of a communication device in a proximity of said mobile terminal;
an output from a real-time clock, such as a current time and/or a current date;
and location data pertaining lo a current location of said mobile terminal.

Abstract
A mobile terminal having a multi-medial user interface, a controller and a memory is presented. The memory is adapted to store a plurality of profiles, each profile defining a respective behavior pattern of the multi-medial user interface and being definable by a user of the mobile terminal. The controller is adapted to provide a first control parameter representative of a desired profile as selected by the user. The controller is also adapted to provide a second control parameter representative of a contextual status of the mobile terminal. The controller is adapted to modify a behavior pattern of the multi-medial user interface depending on the first and second control parameters.

10. A method comprising:
-
defining one or more behavior patterns of a multi-medial user interface of an apparatus using a plurality of user definable profiles; detecting a contextual status of said mobile terminal; and modifying the behavior pattern of said multi-medial user interface in response to the detected contextual status, and a combination of a desired profile of the plurality of user definable profiles selected by a user and one or more look and feel attributes applied from an application initiated by the user, wherein the look and feel attributes are specified by a user, the method further comprising detecting the contextual status as one of the following; the occurrence of a predefined event in the application of said apparatus; the presence of a communication device in a proximity of said apparatus; an output from a real-time clock, such as a current time and/or a current date; and
location data pertaining to a current location of said apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
