Clearly the lock mode described above is not suitable for this purpose as it switches from the current content to the lock screen and would require the user to manually exit this mode via the required sequence of unlock inputs

Embodiment Construction

[0069] Embodiments described herein relate to a mode configured to go from an unlocked mode (in which a first set of user interactions are possible through the user interface to enable certain functions) to a partially locked mode (in which a different set of User interaction can be used for user) to switch devices. The toggle does not cause the currently displayed content to completely disappear as in a normal transition to locked mode, but virtually the same or substantially the same content continues to be displayed. Switching between modes may occur in response to manual selection (eg, using a hardware or software switch) or may occur automatically in response to one or more sensors of the device detecting a predetermined operating condition (eg, the user is in motion). In this way, a more adaptive user interaction to operating conditions can be provided without the user needing to manually exit the lock mode user interface by means of a series of unlock commands.

Abstract

A terminal is configured to switch from an unlocked mode in which a first set of user interactions can be made through a user interface to effect certain functions, to a partial lock mode in which a different set of user interactions are made available to the user in relation to the same, or substantially similar, displayed content. Switching does not cause the currently-displayed content to entirely disappear, as in a conventional transition to a lock mode, but rather the same or substantially the same content continues to be displayed. Switching between the modes can take place in response to manual selection, for example using a hardware or software switch, or can take place automatically in response to one or more sensors of the apparatus detecting a predetermined operating condition, e.g. the user being in motion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to controlling responsiveness to user input on terminals, particularly but not exclusively terminals with touch-sensitive displays. Background technique [0002] It is common for data terminals, such as mobile phones, data tablets and PDAs, to provide a touch-sensitive display through which a user can interact with software executing on the terminal's processor. [0003] Touch-sensitive displays can be particularly susceptible to accidental manipulation. This unintentional operation may cause software functions to be executed that may, for example, cause unintentional placing of voice or data calls over the network or unintentional interactions with applications running on the terminal. [0004] For this reason, many terminals provide a lock mode, usually as part of their operating system, with a dedicated lock mode interface (usually a blank screen or a screen saver such as a still image) in which substantially all user ...
