Mobile device operating mode alteration

Abstract

A mobile device, having at least one messaging system, a user interface element having variable intensity lighting, a frequency alteration module having selectable frequency modes, an operating mode switch and a data processor coupled to the messaging system, the user interface element, the frequency alteration module and the operating mode switch. The data processor includes at least one software application configured, following the operating mode switch actuation, to adjust the lighting intensity of the user interface element, to change the frequency mode of the frequency alteration module and to provide a customized output. The customized output aggregates the at least one mobile device messaging system.

1 . A mobile device, comprising:
 at least one messaging system;   a user interface element having variable intensity lighting;   a frequency alteration module having selectable frequency modes;   an operating mode switch; and   a data processor coupled to said messaging system, said user interface element, said frequency alteration module and said operating mode switch, wherein said data processor includes at least one software application configured, following the operating mode switch actuation, to adjust the lighting intensity of said user interface element, to change the frequency mode of said frequency alteration module and to provide a customized output, wherein said customized output aggregates said at least one mobile device messaging system.   
     
     
         2 . A mobile device according to  claim 1 , wherein said frequency alteration module is configured to enable selection between a first frequency mode and a second frequency mode. 
     
     
         3 . A mobile device according to  claim 2 , wherein the first frequency mode provides an audio signal and the second frequency mode provides a vibration signal. 
     
     
         4 . A mobile device according to  claim 1 , wherein said messaging system is selected from the group consisting of SMS, Email, MMS, chat clients and social networks clients. 
     
     
         5 . A mobile device according to  claim 1 , wherein said customized output is displayed on the at least one of said user interface elements. 
     
     
         6 . A method of controlling an operating mode of a mobile device, comprising the steps of:
 providing at least one messaging system;   providing a user interface element having variable intensity lighting;   providing a frequency alteration module having selectable frequency modes;   providing an operating mode switch; and   providing a data processor coupled to said messaging system, said user interface element, said frequency alteration module and said operating mode switch, wherein said data processor includes at least one software application configured, following the operating mode switch actuation, to adjust the lighting intensity of said user interface element, to change the frequency mode of said frequency alteration module and to provide a customized output, wherein said customized output aggregates said at least one mobile device messaging system.   
     
     
         7 . A method according to  claim 6 , wherein said frequency alteration module is configured to enable selection between a first frequency mode and a second frequency mode. 
     
     
         8 . A method according to  claim 7 , wherein the first frequency mode provides an audio signal and the second frequency mode provides a vibration signal. 
     
     
         9 . A method according to  claim 6 , wherein said messaging system is selected from the group consisting of SMS, Email, MMS, chat clients and social networks clients. 
     
     
         10 . A mobile device according to  claim 6 , wherein said customized output is displayed on the at least one of said user interface elements. 
     
     
         11 . An operating mode switch for controlling a mobile device having at least one messaging system according to a first and a second operating modes, actuation of said operating mode is configured to automatically switch from said first operating mode to said second operating mode wherein in said second operating mode, visual characteristic change, audio characteristic change and aggregation of said at least one messaging systems occurs simultaneously. 
     
     
         12 . An operating mode switch according to  claim 11 , wherein said audio characteristic change is configured to enable selection between a first audio mode and a second audio mode. 
     
     
         13 . An operating mode switch according to  claim 12 , wherein the first audio mode provides an audio signal and the second audio mode provides a vibration signal. 
     
     
         14 . An operating mode switch according to  claim 11 , wherein said visual characteristic change is configured to enable variation of lighting intensity of the mobile device. 
     
     
         15 . An operating mode switch according to  claim 11 , wherein said messaging system is selected from the group consisting of SMS, Email, MMS, chat clients and social networks clients.
