Vibe and Backlight  
Vibe and Backlight API 
The Vibe and Backlight API allows J2ME applications access to vibrator, backlight, and 
keypad control. This access gives a MIDlet the ability to turn on/off these features based 
on the application’s needs. The MIDlet will use the Vibe and Backlight API to enhance the 
activity being performed by the application. Examples of these enhancements are the 
following: 
• 
When in a driving game application, the vibrator is turned on during a crash 
scenario. 
• 
An alarm clock application will have access to turn the vibrator on and off. 
• 
A stock ticker application turns the backlight on/off when a specified stock hits a 
target price. 
In future releases of the Vibe and Backlight API, keypad and backlight control must 
function separately. Currently, these functions are dependant on the hardware 
implementation and which additional drivers are needed to control the keypad and lights 
separately from the display’s backlight.  
Native constraints must be in place to protect the battery life of the product. A time-out 
feature will be created to limit the duration of the vibrator and backlight features. This 
time-out will protect against a corrupt MIDlet or unattended MIDlet. These native 
constraints will be flexible to the operator.
