Abstract
Mobile phones use light signaling or vibrational effects to silently indicate to a user that e.g. a telephone call is incoming. The present invention provides a method, a component for generating vibrational effects combined with light effects and a mobile device implementing this component. The generation of the light effects is obtained from at least one light emitter () having at least one light path (), wherein said at least one light emitter () is disposed relative to said mass () such that said mass () periodically blocks said light path () while moving, for generating light effects.
