Patent application number | Description | Published |
20110055627 | Seamless Application Session Reconstruction Between Devices - A first device captures session data for each application session that is executing on a first device, and provides the session data to a second device in order for the second device to reconstruct the application sessions. A first device identifies one or more application sessions currently executing on the first device. Each of the application sessions include a media object and session data, which includes a media object identifier that corresponds to the media object and a first device media session position. The first device captures the session data transmits the captured session data to one or more second devices. The second devices are adapted to reconstruct at least one of the application sessions using the received session data and positions the application sessions at a second device media session position that corresponds to the received first device media session position. | 03-03-2011 |
20120038546 | GESTURE CONTROL - An apparatus includes sensor circuitry configured to sense spatial phenomena; application circuitry configured to respond to sensation of a spatial phenomenon by the sensor circuitry where a pre-existing relationship exists between the spatial phenomenon and the response of the application circuitry; and regulation circuitry configured to regulate the response of the application circuitry to the spatial phenomenon based at least in part on sensation of a different spatial phenomenon by the sensor circuitry. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed. | 02-16-2012 |
20120038675 | ASSISTED ZOOM - An apparatus includes a planar display defining an outward pointing normal vector and an inward pointing normal vector; sensor circuitry configured to sense an initial relative position of the planar display and configured to sense a change in relative position of the planar display; and zoom circuitry configured to zoom an image presented on the planar display responsive to a change in relative position of the display sensed by the sensor circuitry where the change in relative position has a vector component along one of the normal vectors. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed. | 02-16-2012 |
20120157164 | CELLULAR COMMUNICATION AUTO REDIAL FOR DROPPED CALL - A device and method include detecting signal strength received at a mobile cellular communication device. A dropped call is detected between the device and another device as a function of detected signal strength. The dropped call is reconnected when detected signal strength reaches a selected first threshold. | 06-21-2012 |
20120208507 | MANNERS REMINDER - A method includes sensing a local environmental condition, receiving an electronic communication message, sensing a local microphone signal level associated with the communication message, and issuing a notification if the local microphone signal level exceeds a threshold associated with the local environmental condition. In such a method, an electronic communication may be a telephone call, a video call, a text message, a message communicated via a short message service, a message communicated via a multimedia message service or other type of message. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed. | 08-16-2012 |
20130295895 | CELLULAR COMMUNICATION AUTO REDIAL FOR DROPPED CALL - A device and method include detecting signal strength received at a mobile cellular communication device. A dropped call is detected between the device and another device as a function of detected signal strength. The dropped call is reconnected when detected signal strength reaches a selected first threshold. | 11-07-2013 |
20150256017 | ENERGY TRANSFER MECHANISM - A device and method of transferring energy between peer devices includes determining an amount of energy to transfer from a provider battery powered peer device to a consumer battery powered peer device, selecting an energy transfer connection between the provider device and the consumer device, and initiating transfer of energy via the energy transfer connection. | 09-10-2015 |
20150338929 | WHITEBOARD DISPLAY - A method includes receiving an image of a display surface from a pointing device having a camera with a field of view wider than a tip of the pointing device, processing the received image to identify an area on the display surface within the field of view of the camera, and identifying a position of the tip of the pointing device on the display surface as a function of the identified area on the display surface. | 11-26-2015 |
