Method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment and corresponding terminal equipment

The invention relates to a method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment. The terminal equipment includes the said input component for controlling the operations of the terminal equipment and the display component. The terminal equipment has at least two states, of which in the first, open, state, the terminal equipment implements the operations directed to it through the input component and in which second, locked, state, the terminal equipment does not implement the operations directed to it through the input component but instead implements an indicator effect in the input and/or the display component in order to visualize the input and/or the display component.
