US 7797024 B2Abstract
at least one touch sensor that generates a resistance signal based on a sensed resistance;
a comparing module that generates a first signal when the resistance signal is less than a threshold;
a selecting module that communicates with the timing module and that disables each of a backlight, a display, and user inputs of the mobile device when the duration is greater than a first period and while a user is talking on the mobile device.
2. The control system of claim 1 wherein the mobile device includes at least one of a cellular phone, a media player, a mobile gaming device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a mobile personal computer (PC).
3. The control system of claim 1 wherein the resistance is based on a resistance between the at least one touch sensor and a second touch sensor.
4. The control system of claim 1 wherein the at least one touch sensor is arranged at least one of adjacent to and on an earpiece of the mobile device.
5. The control system of claim 4 wherein the resistance signal is less than the threshold when the at least one touch sensor is in contact with an ear of a user.
6. A control system for a mobile device, comprising:
at least one touch sensor means for generating a resistance signal based on a sensed resistance;
comparing means for generating a first signal when the resistance signal is less than a threshold;
selecting means for communicating with the timing means and for disabling each of a backlight, a display, and user inputs of the mobile device when the duration is greater than a first period and while a user is talking on the mobile device.
7. The control system of claim 6 wherein the mobile device includes at least one of a cellular phone, a media player, a mobile gaming device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a mobile personal computer (PC).
8. The control system of claim 6 wherein the resistance is based on a resistance between the at least one touch sensor and second touch sensor means.
9. The control system of claim 6 wherein the at least one touch sensor means is arranged at least one of adjacent to and on an earpiece of the mobile device.
10. The control system of claim 9 wherein the resistance signal is less than the threshold when the at least one touch sensor means is in contact with an ear of a user.
11. A method for operating a mobile device, comprising:
generating a resistance signal based on a sensed resistance;
generating a first signal when the resistance signal is less than a threshold;
disabling each of a backlight, a display, and user inputs of the mobile device when the duration is greater than a first period and while a user is talking on the mobile device.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein the mobile device includes at least one of a cellular phone, a media player, a mobile gaming device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a mobile personal computer (PC).
13. The method of claim 11 further comprising arranging at least one touch sensor at least one of adjacent to and on an earpiece of the mobile device and generating the resistance signal at the at least one touch sensor.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein the resistance signal is less than the threshold when the at least one touch sensor is in contact with an ear of a user.
15. A computer program stored on a computer readable medium for use by a processor for operating a mobile device, comprising:
16. The computer program of claim 15 wherein the mobile device includes at least one of a cellular phone, a media player, a mobile gaming device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a mobile personal computer (PC).
17. The computer program of claim 15 further comprising arranging at least one touch sensor at least one of adjacent to and on an earpiece of the mobile device and generating the resistance signal at the at least one touch sensor.
18. The computer program of claim 17 wherein the resistance signal is less than the threshold when the at least one touch sensor is in contact with an ear of a user. Description
