Abstract
The invention relates to a method for using a mobile device camera, and particularly to implementing the camera rapidly and easily. The method according to the invention for triggering a mobile device camera (322) includes a predetermined key sequence for triggering the camera (322), so that as a response to feeding a predetermined key sequence, the camera is triggered (105, 205) irrespective of the current mode of the mobile device.
Claims17
A method for triggering a mobile device camera, wherein the mobile device includes a predetermined key sequence for triggering the camera, and as a response to feeding the predetermined key sequence, the camera is triggered irrespective of the current mode of the mobile device, wherein as a response to feeding the predetermined key sequence an application or a function active at the moment is put on hold, until the camera application triggered by the key sequence is deactivated.
An arrangement for triggering a mobile device camera, wherein the mobile device is provided with a predetermined key sequence for triggering the camera, means for detecting the feeding of said key sequence and means for triggering the camera irrespective of the current mode of the mobile device as a response to detecting the predetermined key sequence, wherein the mobile device includes means for putting on hold an application or a function active at the moment of detecting the predetermined key sequence, until the camera application triggered by the predetermined key sequence is deactivated.
A method for triggering a mobile device camera comprising:
- providing a predetermined key sequence to the mobile device for triggering the camera;
- triggering the camera irrespective of the current mode of the mobile device in response to feeding the predetermined key sequence to the mobile device;
- putting on hold an application or a function active at the moment upon response to feeding the predetermined key sequence functions to the mobile device while the camera application is triggered by the key sequence until the camera application triggered by the key sequence is deactivated.
An arrangement for triggering a camera of a mobile device comprising:
- a detector configured to detect a predetermined key sequence;
- a trigger in cooperative engagement with the detector configured to respond to the detection of said predetermined key sequence and configured to trigger a camera application irrespective of the current mode of the mobile device;
- and
- a hold mechanism configured to put on hold an application or a function upon detection of said predetermined key sequence until the camera application triggered by detection of said predetermined key sequence is deactivated.
