| 20100004024 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE WITH MUTING FUNCTION AND METHOD THEREFORE - A portable communication device includes a user interface responsive to user input, a controller, and a time management module coupled to the controller. A schedule tabled is created in accordance with the user input. The time management module periodically checks the schedule table and sends real time signals to the controller. The controller enables and disables the function in accordance with the schedule table. A method for enabling or disabling the functions of the communication device is also disclosed. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100178957 | MOBILE DEVICE HAVING AN IMPACT RESISTANT INPUT - A mobile device is disclosed having an impact resistant input located in at least one of the corners. In the event that the mobile device is dropped and lands on the corner input, a shock-absorbing member absorbs the energy of impact to prevent failure to a contact or input cap of the corner input. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100197351 | APPARATUS FOR AND SYSTEM FOR ENABLING A MOBILE COMMUNICATOR - Disclosed herein is a mobile communicator that includes a contact operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration and positioned to complete an electric circuit when the contact is in the closed position thereby activating the mobile communicator and providing the mobile communicator with functionality. The mobile communicator includes a display, a notification mechanism, a user interface, a transmitter and a receiver. Further, the mobile communicator includes an initial default disabled state, wherein at least one of a plurality of functions are disabled. The mobile communicator remains in the initial default disabled state even when the contact is in the closed position and the activating electrical circuit is complete. A logic of the enabling system is configured to change the initial default disabled state of the mobile communicator to an enabled state, wherein the at least one of the plurality of functions become enabled, when a condition is satisfied. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100240415 | MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE MOBILE TERMINAL - A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the mobile terminal are provided. The method includes storing a plurality of pieces of fingerprint information on at least one of a finger-by-finger basis, a user-by-user basis, and a pattern-by-pattern basis; receiving a fingerprint-touch input through a display module capable of performing fingerprint identification; and if fingerprint information of the received fingerprint-touch input matches with one of the plurality of pieces of fingerprint information for locking a predefined operating menu, locking the predefined operating menu. Therefore, it is possible to easily lock or unlock the mobile terminal in response to a fingerprint-touch input. In addition, it is possible to effectively perform various operations performed by the mobile terminal in response to a fingerprint-touch input. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110151934 | Automatic Keypad Unlocking Method and Apparatus for Mobile Terminal - The present invention provides an automatic keypad unlocking method and apparatus for mobile terminal, so as to automatically unlock a keypad when the mobile terminal is to be used. The apparatus includes: a state detecting unit configured to detect a stress state or a motion state of the mobile terminal, to recognize whether the mobile terminal is in a hand-held state based on the stress state or the motion state, and to generate a triggering signal when the mobile terminal is recognized as in the hand-held state; a camera configured to receive the triggering signal, and to capture image based on the triggering signal; a face detecting unit configured to detect a facial image from the image captured by the camera, and to generate an unlock control signal if the face detecting unit determines that a facial image of predetermined scale size is contained in the captured image; and an unlocking unit configured to receive the unlock control signal, and to automatically unlock a locked keypad based on the unlock control signal. The present invention automatically unlocks the keypad by recognizing the hand-held state of the mobile terminal. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20150296076 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHANGING OPERATION MODE OF PORTABLE TERMINAL - An apparatus and method for changing an operation mode of a portable terminal includes checking a moving distance of the portable terminal during a predetermined time period using received location information, checking a moving speed of the portable terminal from the checked moving distance and the predetermined time period, and changing the operation mode of the portable terminal to an airplane mode if the checked moving speed is higher than a preset speed. | 10-15-2015 |
| 20150358449 | MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING AGAINST MISTAKEN DIALING - A mobile terminal and a mistaken dialing preventing method thereof are provided. The mistaken dialing preventing method is based on a mobile terminal comprising a distance sensor and a touch screen, and comprises: when the touch screen is not locked and is displaying a dial plate icon, activating the distance sensor to detect whether there is an obstruction within an effective distance above the touch screen; if there is an obstruction, then detecting by the distance sensor a current distance between the obstruction and the touch screen of the mobile terminal; and if the current distance is smaller than a preset critical distance threshold, then controlling the touch screen to not display the dial plate icon and deactivating the distance sensor by the mobile terminal. In this way, the present disclosure can automatically deactivate the call program of the smartphone to absolutely prevent mistaken dialing with a very satisfactory effect. | 12-10-2015 |
