  • Nintendo Gameboy currently enables two-player games by connecting two Gameboy terminals by a cable.
  • This communication may take place through the standard cellular interface used by the mobile telephones for making calls. This will, however, be expensive for the users in the long run. Also, the power consumption is high for such connections.
  • IR infrared
  • Such ports can be used for communicating game information, provided the IR ports can be aligned.
  • most mobile terminals will probably comprise low-power transceivers or short-range transmis- • sion, such as Bluetooth, which can also be used for communicating game information.
  • dual-mode telephones having, for example, both DECT and GSM capabilities, of course the DECT function can be used at a lower cost than GSM, when possible.
  • Game information can also be sent via the short message service or other standard function for transmitting text, although this will make the game slow.
  • a mobile terminal comprising call means for receiving and initiating telephone calls through a call communications network according to a call communications standard and game means for playing a game on the mobile terminal, said mobile terminal being characterized in that the game means comprises multi-player game means for participating in a game involving a second mobile terminal, and that the mobile terminal further comprises
  • - game communication means for communicating game information between the mobile terminal and the at least second terminal
  • - pause means for pausing the game upon receiving the order to suspend the game in the game means, and for instructing the game communication means to forward the order to suspend the game to the at least second terminal.
  • a method for use in a mobile terminal comprising call means for receiving and initiating telephone calls through a call communications network according to a call communications stan- dard and game means for playing a game on the mobile terminal, said game means comprising multi-player game means for participating in a game involving at least a second mobile terminal, said method comprising the following steps:
  • the user of the mobile terminal can answer any incoming calls, even while being involved in a game, without ruining the game.
  • the mobile tenninal comprises manual intervention means for transmitting the order to suspend the game to the game means, thus permitting the user to determine if and when the game should be suspended.
  • the func- tion may be used when the user wishes to suspend the game, even when there is no incoming call.
  • the mobile terminal further comprises resume means for resuming the game when the call is- ended. It may also comprise manual means for indicating to other participants that the game should be resumed.
  • the mobile terminal comprises means for acknowledging the indication that the game should be resumed. In this way, the other players participating in the game are given the opportunity to confirm that they are ready to resume the game.
  • the game coimnunication means should also be arranged to receive, from the game communication means of another mobile terminal, an order to. suspend the game.

  • the unit 5 in reality will probably be several units performing functions such as encoding/decoding, modulation/demodulation, etc.
  • the communication unit 5 also communicates with a microphone 7 and a loudspeaker 9 in ways well known in the art.
  • the communication unit 5 is controlled by a processor 11, which also controls a display 13, on which messages to the user, or game data, may be displayed.
  • the ' processor 11 in this example also comprises, or is connected to, a memory unit 15 comprising a game application program that can be played by the user of the mobile terminal 1 together with one or more players using other similar mobile terminals.
  • a separate processor could be used for controlling the game, but in this example, the processor 11 controls both the game functions and the communication functions performed by the communication unit 5.
  • the mobile terminal 1 also comprises a short-range communication unit 17, controlled by the processor 11, or by another processor if desired.
  • the short-range communication unit 17 is connected to an antenna 19 and is used, among other things, for transmitting game data to other mobile terminals and receiving game data from these other mobile terminals.
  • an IR port may be used to communicate with an IR port of another mobile terminal, provided the IR ports can be aligned.
  • a long-range communication facility may -be used for transmitting game data, although this will generally be more expensive, consume more power and involve longer delays than the short-range communication.
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Service
  • the antenna 19 is not needed, as the terminal 1 can use the antenna 3 for communicating with the GPRS network. The terminal can still receive calls through the GSM network while having a GPRS connection.

  • the terminals 201, 202 may of course be communi- eating with the same base station, but, are shown here as connected to different base stations to illustrate more clearly the use of two different networks, i.e. the GSM network 206 and the GPRS network 212, for call data and game data, respectively.
  • Game data and call data transmitted and received through the first mobile terminal 201 therefore pass between the mobile terminal and the first base station 203 through the same antenna on the mobile te ⁇ ninal.
