APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN OUTPUT FOR INDICATING A TYPE OF A RECEIVED MESSAGE

摘要

An apparatus (100) is described for controlling an output for indicating a content type of a received message, such as SMS/MMS or email. The output is for example a graphical element on a display (150) or a characteristic of light emitted by a light emitter (160). An assessment arrangement (120) assesses the content of the received message. A controller (140) selectively controls the graphical element to be displayed and/or the characteristic of the emitted light based on the assessed content. The user may read information regarding the content of the message at a glance and from a distance.
