Patent AT-E400137-T1: [Translated] MOBILE DEVICE WITH A VIBRATING COMPONENT WITH LIGHT EFFECTS

Mobile phones use light signaling or vibrational effects to silently indicate to a user that e.g. a telephone call is incoming. The present invention provides a method, a component for generating vibrational effects combined with light effects and a mobile device implementing this component. The generation of the light effects is obtained from at least one light emitter ( 200, 201 ) having at least one light path ( 300 ), wherein said at least one light emitter ( 200, 201 ) is disposed relative to said mass ( 100 ) such that said mass ( 100 ) periodically blocks said light path ( 300 ) while moving, for generating light effects.
