Embodiment Construction

[0042] Referring to FIG. 1 , an interactive electronic device 1 is provided in the form of a mobile telecommunication device (mobile phone) having a user keypad 2 and a user display 3 . The user can enter commands via the keyboard 2 to operate the mobile phone and the display 3 provides information about the current state of the phone. Mobile phones typically provide telecommunication functions such as making and receiving phone calls, using call answering services, text messaging, email and possibly accessing other information through Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) or other suitable protocols, all of which are within the skill of the art The people are obvious. The device may provide further communication capabilities in the form of an infrared data link or a link established using the so-called Bluetooth protocol. The device also features an electronic calendar, diary, and one or more user games, as will be understood by those skilled in the art.

Abstract

An electronic device such as a mobile telephone (1) is provided with a reader (21) for reading data from a physical data carrier (10). Physical data carriers are incorporated into accessories of the device, for example a telephone carrying case. The act of inserting the telephone (1) into the case causes the reader (21) to read data from the data carrier (10) and the data is used to implement required device settings of the electronic device. The data carrier may be a bar code, RF tag or contact tag. By providing a number of carrying cases each with its own data carrier (10), merely exchanging cases initiates a number of associated device settings to be selected. Each case may be associated with a particular environment or user context allowing the user to alter the behaviour of the device to suit context merely by interchanging carrying case. Data carrier may also be provided in other accessories such as car-telephone kits and battery chargers to alter device behaviour accordingly. Device settings include those which govern the type of information relayed to the user when the device receives information from data delivery services.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling various settings of electronic devices such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants, and such devices. Background technique [0002] As the functionality of devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants continues to increase, so does the number of possible device and user settings from which to choose. Various efforts to help users control such a large number of device settings include arranging the settings in a hierarchical menu structure through which the user can navigate. The use of these menus enables similarly categorized settings to be grouped together and those most likely to change are placed higher up in the menu structure so that they can be reached more quickly. [0003] Depending on the context of the user of the device, certain device settings may be preferred. For example, when a user of a mobile phone is at work, the user is only inter...
