Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of arrangements and methods by a mobile transceiver. The invention solves the problem of how to obtain a mobile telephone terminal (21) with a lid (25) and a corresponding function with automatic reception of an incoming call when the lid (25) is opened, such as a mobile telephone terminal with an active lid, where also such services are to become available that need access to a keypad (29) covered by the lid (25) and which allows a user to handle the incoming call in other ways than only receiving the call. The problem is solved in that the mobile telephone terminal (21) comprises means (41) that enable the user on demand to deactivate the automatic reception of the incoming call.
Claims13
Mobile telephone terminal comprising:
- at least two parts movably arranged to each other;
- a keypad arranged by at least one of the at least two parts where the at least two parts can be arranged in a first position and a second position relative to each other, where the keypad is accessible in the first position and inaccessible in the second position;
- a first detector arranged to generate a first detector signal, when the mobile telephone is in an active state, corresponding to whether the at least two parts are arranged in either one of the first position and the second position;
- and
- a second detector arranged to generate a second detector signal, when the mobile telephone is in an active state, corresponding to whether the second detector is in either one of an engaged state or a disengaged state, wherein said mobile telephone terminal is arranged to decide, in dependence on the first detector signal and the second detector signal, whether to automatically receive the incominig call.
Method used with a mobile telephone terminal having at least two parts movably arranged to each other, and a keypad arranged by at least one of the at least two parts, where the at least two parts can be arranged in a first position and a second position relative to each other, and the keypad is accessible in the first position and inaccessible in the second position, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating a first detector signal, when the mobile telephone is in an active state, corresponding to an arrangement of the at least two parts in either one of the first position and the second position;
- generating a second detector signal, when the mobile telephone is in an active state, corresponding to whether an engaging element is in either an engaged state and a disengaged state;
- and
- determining whether to automatically receive an incoming call in dependence on the first detector signal and the second detector signal.
