20090193021 | CAMERA SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PICTURE SHARING BASED ON CAMERA PERSPECTIVE - An electronic device may transmit point-of-view information to a server that searches an image database for images that were taken from a corresponding point-of-view. Matching images may be displayed to a user of the electronic device and the user may be provided with an option to save one or more of the matching images in place of or in addition to a picture that was captured with the electronic device. | 07-30-2009 |
20100151918 | INTELLIGENT BATTERY WARNING SYSTEM - A method and system of providing a low battery charge warning in an electronic device that employs a rechargeable power source such as a rechargeable battery. The method and system determine whether a charge state of a battery is sufficient to provide the device with power for a predicted usage. The predicted usage and predicted power requirement may be determined from a usage profile of the device. The predicted usage and power requirement may also be determined from data associated with an event record as may be stored in a calendar application on the device. The method and system may provide an advance notice to the user of the device of a potential low battery situation. | 06-17-2010 |
20110066642 | METHOD FOR TAGGING MEDIA CONTENT, PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A method for tagging media content captured by a portable electronic device is disclosed. The method comprises determining a time for capturing of a piece of media content; connecting, via the Internet, to at least one bulletin service; acquiring from the at least one bulletin service, a data string indicating information associated with the determined time; and including the data string into metadata associated with the piece of media content. A portable electronic device and a computer program are also disclosed. | 03-17-2011 |
20110205850 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CALENDAR EVENTS USING LOCATION INFORMATION - To enhance calendar functionality, location tracking may be used to draw an inference that a calendar event has been satisfied. Upon the inferred satisfaction of the calendar event, a status of the calendar event may be updated from “outstanding” to “completed.” If the calendar event is shared with another person, a message may be transmitted to an electronic device of the other individual to alert that person to the completion of the calendar event. Location tracking may include identifying that an electronic device moves toward a location associated with the calendar event, identifying that the electronic device comes to a relative stop within a predetermined distance of the location associated with the calendar event, and departs the location associated with the calendar event. | 08-25-2011 |
