Abstract
To reduce memory space for storing applications only one copy, of otherwise duplicate coding, may be provided in a telecommunications device. To ensure that certain telephony functions are enabled relatively quickly on start-up of the device the invention provides a method of initialising telephony functionality and then initialising other functionality in two sequential phases, where the first phase includes initialising parts of the other functionality that are relied on by the telephone functionality prior to initialising other parts that the telephony functionality does not use.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- initiating telephony functionality in a communications device, the telephony functionality being provided by a telephony function and one or more telephony-related parts of one or more other functions, the one or more other functions further having non-telephony related parts, the initiating further comprising:
- initialising the telephony function;
- and
- initialising the one or more telephony-related parts of the one or more other functions prior to the non-telephony related parts.

An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- initiate telephony functionality in the apparatus, the telephony functionality being provided by a telephony function and one or more telephony-related parts of one or more other functions, the one or more other functions further having non-telephony related parts, the initiation further comprising:
- initialize the telephony function;
- and
- initialize the one or more telephony-related parts of the one or more other functions prior to the non-telephony related parts.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a telephony module that provides at least in part telephony functionality to the apparatus;
- and
- one or more further functional modules, having telephony related parts and non-telephony related parts, the telephony-related parts being operable with the telephony module to provide telephony functionality to the apparatus;
- wherein, on initiating the apparatus the telephony module is initialised, and the telephony-related part(s) of the or each further functional modules is/are initialised prior to the non-telephony-related parts.
