Electronic devices, associated apparatus and methods

A mobile terminal has a controller, a display and an input device connected to the controller, and a digital object browser for browsing among a plurality of available digital objects. A first representation and a second representation of each of the digital objects are presentable on a display screen. The first representations of the digital objects are presented along a predefined path on the display screen, the first representation of a focused one of the digital objects being shown in a focus area on the display screen. For the focused digital object, the second representation thereof is presented in a preview area on the display screen. In response to a user input given on the input device, a desired scrolling operation is performed among the first representations presented, thereby shifting the positions of the first representations on the display screen along the path accordingly, updating the focus area to reflect a change in focus from the focused digital object to another digital object by presenting in the focus area the first representation of the other digital object, as well as updating the preview area correspondingly by presenting therein the second representation of the other digital object.

Mobile communications terminal and method therefore

A method of changing an alphabetic character to a variant character when entering information or messages in a mobile phone or a game console or the like. The variant character can be a diacritical variation or a tonal variation of the alphabetic character.

Method and apparatus for entering information in a mobile device with special characters

A method for treating a subscriber data list of the subscriber identity module of a mobile station in a linear memory of the subscriber identity module, and a subscriber identity module and a mobile station. A directory structure is formed in the memory of the subscriber identity module with the aid of a directory separator. The directory separator is for instance the symbol &ldquo;/&rdquo;. Then for instance in the GSM system a &ldquo;name&rdquo; located in the &ldquo;directory&rdquo; is represented according to the directory structure as a term &ldquo;directory/name&rdquo; in the linear memory of the subscriber identity module, but the user treats the list of numbers by directories, and most preferably in an alphabetical order.

Method and an arrangement for treating subscriber data in a mobile station

A method and apparatus is provided for controlling a mobile phone when it has been lost or stolen in order to prevent its use except to help the owner find it.

The security features provided are as follows: (1) Displaying contact information (phone number) of the owner on screen when the mobile phone can not start up normally, for example, due to an incorrect security code entry; (2) Setting the mobile phone in a secure state where it can only be used to call one number (Emergency calls are of course always possible.); and (3) Commanding the mobile phone to send information about its location and usage via SMS to a given number.

Method and apparatus for controlling and securing mobile phones that are lost, stolen or misused

A system, method and computer program for accessing, downloading, storing, and retrieving information from a plurality of content providers on the Internet using a cellular terminal. This cellular terminal has an information finder to find and download items of information from content providers and store the information in a memory of the cellular terminal. These topics and items of information have a best before stamp associated with them. Upon expiration of the best before stamp, the item of information is deleted from the cellular terminal memory. The topic or item may be automatically updated by the latest edition of the information without user intervention when an update period expires.

System and method for delivery and updating of data transmitted to a mobile terminal

A method for forming a character string, an electronic communication device (31) and a charging unit (29) for charging the electronic communication device, wherein the communication device (31) does not comprise at all number/letter keys used for the selection of a phone number. The numbers or letters are selected from a display (39; 41) by means of selecting keys (32-38). The invention can be exploited, for example, in portable mobile phones.
