Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided. The method includes reproducing, by a portable phone, multimedia content via an external output device while the portable phone is coupled with the external output device, determining whether the portable phone is decoupled from the external output device, and terminating the reproducing of the multimedia content based at least in part on a determination that the portable phone is decoupled from the external output device.
Claims12
A mobile communication terminal which is capable of being set to a silent mode in which a sound alert of the mobile communication terminal in response to receiving an incoming call is disabled, the mobile communication terminal comprising:
- a transceiver for transmitting an outgoing call and for receiving an incoming call;
- a speaker;
- a connecting unit for being connected to an external audio output device;
- an audio processing unit;
- a display;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- control the display to display, while in the silent mode, a user interface for reproduction of a music file;
- in response to a user input, control the audio processing unit to reproduce the music file so as to output one or more audio signals corresponding to the reproduced music file through the speaker, while in the silent mode;
- and
- in response to receiving an incoming call in the silent mode while the music file is reproduced, stop outputting the one or more audio signals and output an indication of the reception of the incoming call.
A mobile communication terminal comprising:
- a transceiver for transmitting an outgoing call and for receiving an incoming call;
- an audio processing unit;
- a speaker;
- a connecting unit for being operably connected to an external audio output device;
- a display for displaying a screen;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- control the display to display, while in a silent mode, a user interface associated with at least one audio content;
- detect a connection with the external audio output device being established, while displaying the user interface in the silent mode;
- in response to detecting the connection being established, control the audio processing unit to reproduce at least one audio content through the external audio output device, while in the silent mode;
- detect the connection with the external audio output device being terminated, while reproducing the at least one audio content in the silent mode;
- and
- in response to detecting the connection being terminated, control the display to display a user interface inquiring whether to resume reproduction of paused audio content,
- wherein the silent mode is a mode in which a vibration signal is generated in response to receiving an incoming call.
