The technology disclosed herein enables narration of occurrences in a telecommunications soft client operating in a GUI-less mode. In a particular embodiment, a method includes, in a user system, operating the telecommunications soft client in a first mode. In the first mode, the user system does not present a GUI to a user for the telecommunications soft client. A screen reader application is also executing on the user system. While in the first mode, the method includes audibly describing a first occurrence for the telecommunications soft client and receiving global user input into the telecommunications soft client. The screen reader application describes a second occurrence for a first application executing, and displaying an application window, on the user system.

A mobile terminal includes a touch screen display, a camera, a power button and an activation button for turning on the touch screen display. The mobile terminal has a first function and a second function to perform in response to user input and provides user settings for configuring at least one of the first and second functions such that the at least one of the first and second functions is performed along with turning on the touch screen display when pressing of the activation button is detected while the touch screen display is turned off. The mobile terminal is configured to perform the first and second functions depending upon length of pressing of the activation button in addition to turning on the touch screen display.

A terminal screen-on/off control method includes receiving an operation instruction that is sent by a user by using a first terminal; if the operation instruction meets a preset condition, determining a current state of a screen of a second terminal, and if the current state of the screen is on, controlling the second terminal to turn off the screen; or if the current state of the screen is off, controlling the second terminal to turn on the screen. The preset condition is used to determine whether the second terminal is to turn the screen on/off. The first terminal can be directly used to control the second terminal to turn the screen on/off. This operation is very simple.

Systems and methods for controlling access to a mobile device. A method for unlocking a mobile device includes detecting a user input comprising two or more user actions performed at one or more physical input buttons of the mobile device when the mobile device is in a lock state. The lock state prevents use of at least one functionality of the mobile device. Each user action corresponds to a code. The method also includes determining whether the detected user input is valid, and changing a state of the mobile device from the lock state to an unlock state to enable the use of the at least one functionality of the mobile device if the detected user input is valid.
