Abstract
Described is a method including the steps of receiving one of a first input and a second input and enabling a functionality corresponding to the one of the received first and the second input. The method further includes the steps of starting a timer upon receipt of the one of the first input and the second input, determining if one of a predetermined action of the functionality has occurred and the timer has reached a predetermined value, and disabling the functionality when the one of the predetermined action occurring and the timer reaching the predetermined value has been determined.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- receiving one of a first input and a second input;
- enabling a functionality corresponding to the one of the received first and the second input;
- starting a timer upon receipt of the one of the first input and the second input;
- determining if one of a predetermined action of the functionality has occurred and the timer has reached a predetermined value;
- and
- disabling the functionality when the one of the predetermined action occurring and the timer reaching the predetermined value has been determined.
A method, comprising:
- receiving one of a first input and a second input;
- enabling a functionality corresponding to the one of the received first and second input;
- starting a timer upon receipt of the one of the first input and the second input;
- detecting, after the receipt of the one of the first input and the second input, when the receipt of the one of the first and second inputs is interrupted;
- disabling the functionality when the interruption of the user input has been detected;
- determining, when the receipt of the one of the first and second inputs has not been detected, if one of a predetermined action of the functionality has occurred and the timer has reached a predetermined value;
- and
- disabling the functionality when the one of the predetermined action occurring and the timer reaching the predetermined value has been determined.
A device, comprising:
- an input arrangement receiving one of a first input and a second input;
- first and second function modules;
- and
- a timer;
- wherein the timer is started upon receipt of the one of the first input and the second input, the first module is enabled in response to the receiving of the first input, the second module is enabled in response to the receiving of the second input,
- wherein the device determines if one of a predetermined action of the enabled module has occurred and the timer has reached a predetermined value, and
- wherein the device disables the enabled module when the one of the predetermined action occurring and the timer reaching the predetermined value has been determined.
A device, comprising:
- an input arrangement receiving one of a first input and a second input;
- first and second function modules;
- and
- a timer;
- wherein the first module is enabled in response to the receiving of the first input, the second module is enabled in response to the receiving of the second input,
- wherein the device starts the timer upon receipt of the one of the first input and the second input,
- wherein the device detects, after the receipt of the one of the first input and the second input, when the receipt of the one of the first and second inputs is interrupted,
- wherein the device disables the enabled module when the interruption of the user input has been detected,
- wherein the device determines, when the receipt of the one of the first and second inputs has not been detected, if one of a predetermined action of the enabled module has occurred and the timer has reached a predetermined value, and
- wherein the device disables the enabled module when the one of the predetermined action occurring and the timer reaching the predetermined value has been determined.
A device, comprising:
- an input means receiving one of a first input and a second input;
- first and second function means, each function means enabling a functionality of the device;
- and
- a timing means;
- wherein the timing means is started upon receipt of the one of the first input and the second input, the first function means is enabled in response to the receiving of the first input, the second function means is enabled in response to the receiving of the second input,
- wherein the device determines if one of a predetermined action of the enabled function means has occurred and the timing means has reached a predetermined value, and
- wherein the device disables the enabled function means when the one of the predetermined action occurring and the timing means reaching the predetermined value has been determined.
