A method and a device for simplifying the forming of game parties in wireless communication networks is provided. A game directory is generated comprising all available (multi-player) games on a mobile device and exchanging said information between different gaming devices. Said game directory is generated by querying a memory accessible by said electronic gaming device for electronic games available for execution on, and generating a game directory having entries for each electronic game which is determined. Said game directory is then exchanged to visualize all available games to all potential game partners.

Method and device for generating a game directory on an electronic gaming device

The present invention proposes a methodology implementable in form of a hardware or software module for inhibiting interruption of a running application by an event according to a selected non-disturbance profile, said event occurring on a mobile device.

The invention relates to a controlling arrangement for a music player application in a mobile communication device. To improve the control of the music player, a multifunctional soft button () with four switching positions (up, down left and right) and a mode switching arrangement () are provided on the keyboard layout (). The application can be switched in two different modes with the switching arrangement and can be controlled with the multifunctional soft button, the latter having different functionality depending on the mode of the application. Combined functionality of the multifunctional soft button from the first and second mode is also possible. Additional symbols related to the music player functionality are printed in different colors on the multifunctional soft switch.

The present invention relates to a mobile communication device having a keyboard and a method for controlling the operation of the keyboard of such a mobile communication device. The keyboard provides a QWERTY styled layout including a keypad similar to a ITU-T keypad. Applications executed on the mobile communication device are adapted to switch an operation mode of the keyboard such that in accordance with a certain expected information input, different assignments of the keys of the keyboard are active. The keyboard operation modes improve the usability of the keyboard and allow the number of total keys for operating the mobile communication device to be reduced resulting in lowered cost of manufacture.

Electronic organiser () with a calendar () in which appointments at least according to date, time and an individual description, for example a person to be visited, are variable. If the organiser () is provided with an interface () which can exchange data in respect of the appointments with an interface () existing on another device (), the data recorded in the calendar () can be used to run the other device or the electronic organiser () can be controlled by the other device. Thus for example data recorded in the calendar () can be used by a navigation system for faster input of the destination, or for example departure appointments can be changed by the other device according to the traffic or other situations.
