Abstract

A portable electronic apparatus (1) and a method for controlling an operational interface of the portable electronic apparatus). The apparatus comprises a transmitter unit (10) including a transmitter (11); a receiver unit (20) including a receiver (21); and an operational interface. The transmitter and the receiver are arranged such that a signal transmitted by the transmitter (11) is received by the receiver (21) when at least the transmitter unit is facing towards and is positioned in proximity of an external surface (31,44). The transmitter may be an LED, a cold cathode ray tube, or IR or UV transmitter. The receiver may be an optical sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a portable electronic device comprising an operating interface and an activation unit for activating and deactivating at least one function of the operating interface. The invention also relates to a method for controlling an operator interface. Background technique [0002] A portable electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, may include a user interface comprising an input interface and / or an output interface. The input interface can be divided into an operation interface and a function interface. The operation interface has the means required to control or adjust the device, and the function interface has the means required for data communication. The operator interface may include various input devices, such as including keypads, joysticks, and receivers. The functional interface may include a microphone. The output interface can also be divided into operation interface and function interface. The operator interface...
