MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a mobile communication device and a method for operating a mobile communication device to activate or deactivate a function of the mobile communication device automatically. The mobile communication device comprises a user interface operable to receive an input of a user; an acceleration sensing section operable to sense an acceleration motion of said mobile communication device; and a controller adapted to obtain samples of a signal associated with said acceleration motion of said mobile communication device sensed by said acceleration sensing section, which samples constitute a time dependent acceleration pattern, wherein said controller is further adapted to activate or deactivate at least one function of said mobile communication device based on said time dependent acceleration pattern.
