20130179150 | NOTE COMPILER INTERFACE - A computer implemented method is performed at an electronic device adapted to receive text-based input and having a display. The method comprises receiving text-based input, analyzing the inputted text, and performing, in dependence on the analyzing, at least one of two actions. The first action comprises comparing at least some of the analyzed text with other text accessed by the device; if a match is found between said at least some of the analyzed text and said accessed text, retrieving data associated with the matching accessed text, and associating the retrieved data with the inputted text for subsequent provision to the user. The second action comprises providing data associated with at least some of the analyzed text to a module of the device. In this way, data pull and push actions are performed in dependence on the analyzing. An electronic device and computer program product are also provided. | 07-11-2013 |
20130179827 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE INTERFACE - A computer implemented method is performed at an electronic device adapted to receive user input and having a display. The method comprises displaying a subset of a set of items in a first display area of the display, maintaining a first marker corresponding to a position of the currently displayed subset within the set of items, receiving user input to navigate through the set of items, receiving a user initiated indication of an item within the set of items to be allocated a marker, maintaining a second marker corresponding to the position of the indicated item within the set of items, and notifying the user of the position of the indicated item during subsequent navigation through the set of items. An electronic device and computer program product are also provided. | 07-11-2013 |
20130179837 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE INTERFACE - A computer implemented method is performed at an electronic device having a user input and a display: The method comprises displaying at least one item on a first display area of the display, receiving a user input selecting an item displayed on the display and associating a change in importance with said selected item, changing a characteristic of the visual appearance of the selected item on the display to reflect the change in importance, and storing an indication of the changed importance in connection with the selected item. An electronic device and computer program product are also provided. | 07-11-2013 |
20130207992 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM CARRYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITIGATING VISUAL ARTEFACTS - The application discloses a method of controlling frame data to be fed to a display device, comprising: controlling one or more processors of an electronic device to produce frame data in which the contrast of a region of the image represented by the frame data is adjusted responsive to: animation of that region of the image; and an indication that the contrast of the region should be adjusted during animation. | 08-15-2013 |
20130219303 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A SHARED USER INTERFACE - Providing a shared user interface can be achieved by an application running on a first electronic device and a second electronic device that is detected. A shared user interface can be generated based at least in part on the application and the detected device pairing. The shared user interface can comprise a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be displayed at the first electronic device. Data enabling a display of the second portion at the second electronic device can be transmitted to the second electronic device. Input data from at least one of the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be received at the first electronic device to yield received input data. In response to the received input data, at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the shared user interface can modified based on the received input data. | 08-22-2013 |
20130222266 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERCONNECTED DEVICES - A computer implemented method performed by an electronic device comprising a display and an input device for receiving user input. The method comprises maintaining a representation of at least one other electronic device and its position relative to the electronic device and receiving a user input indicative of a direction and associated with a function requiring a target device. In response to said user input, the direction indicated by the user input and the representation of the relative position of the at least one other electronic device are utilised to determine the target device. | 08-29-2013 |
20130225078 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERCONNECTED DEVICES - A computer implemented method performed by an electronic device having a display and an input device for receiving user input. The device is connected via a first communication channel to a plurality of other electronic devices. The method comprises determining a distance between the electronic device and at least one of the plurality of other electronic devices and establishing a second communication channel between the electronic device and the at least one other electronic device when the determined distance satisfies a threshold condition. | 08-29-2013 |
20130227096 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PAUSING AND RESUMING A MEETING SESSION - Presented are systems and methods for presenting, creating, and pausing a meeting session. The systems and methods create meeting-session data based at least in part on one or more applications running on one or more devices connected to a meeting session. The systems and methods store meeting-session data in a database. The systems and methods pause a meeting session such that the one or more devices are disconnected from the meeting session. The systems and methods resume a meeting session by configuring devices to run at least one of the one or more applications using the meeting-session data and joining configured devices to the resumed meeting session. | 08-29-2013 |
20130300671 | DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH IMAGE SENSOR BASED DISPLAY ORIENTATION - A display system with image sensor based display orientation is provided. The display system comprises: a display device; a sensor for acquiring at least one electronic image from a field of view proximal the display device; and a processor enabled to: control at least a subset of the display device to a display orientation associated with a given edge of the display device when a portion of the at least one electronic image associated with the given edge comprises a given reference image. | 11-14-2013 |
