20080233546 | Visual scene displays, uses thereof, and corresponding apparatuses - A method and a device are provided. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving an indication of selection of a key from a keyboard, including at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol; and displaying a scene related to the selected at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a keyboard including a plurality of keys including polysemous symbols; and a display to display, on at least a portion thereof and in response to receiving an indication of selection of a key including at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol, a scene related to the selected at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol. | 09-25-2008 |
20090150828 | Device and method for previewing themes and categories of sequenced symbols - A computer device, such as a mobile phone or PDA for example, is able to output a message based upon selection of a corresponding sequence of symbol. Such symbols can be polysemous in nature and thus be associated with a plurality of different meanings depending upon other symbols sequenced therewith. By utilizing polysemous symbols, a relatively large number of sequences can be developed and associated with stored messages in the computer device. To aid a user in accessing a desired sequence or to aid in training the learning of stored sequences, for example, a category relating to at least two symbol sequences is fed back to the user upon pre-selecting a symbol; a theme relating to at least two symbol sequences is fed back to the user upon selecting a symbol and pre-selecting a next symbol; and/or a message associated with a sequence is fed back to the user upon selecting and/or pre-selecting at least one symbol completing a symbol sequence. | 06-11-2009 |
20120174035 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREVIEWING THEMES AND CATEGORIES OF SEQUENCED SYMBOLS - A method is disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes receiving an indication of a selection of one of a plurality of displayed selectable symbols displayed in a first display area; receiving an indication of at least one further selection of at least one of the plurality of displayed selectable symbols; and providing feedback to the user, subsequent to and in response to the at least one further selected at least one next symbol completing a symbol sequence including at least the first selected symbol, the feedback including display, in a second display area separate from the first display area, of previously undisplayed information including at least one of a message, command, and program and display of the first selected symbol and the at least one further selected symbol, in sequence of selection. | 07-05-2012 |

20100288174 | Inflatable Hull Configuration and Connection for a Multihull Vessel - Inflatable hull configuration and connection for a multihull vessel. The inflatable hulls have a longitudinal structural member fastened to the top of the inflatable hulls, with a central body of the multihull vessel supported on the longitudinal structural members by forward and stern legs. The forward legs support the forward part of the central body through a ball joint that allows the forward legs to rotate as a unit relative to the central body, and have their lower ends attached to the forward part of the longitudinal members, each through a spring supported ball joint. The stern legs are each rigidly coupled to the central body, with their lower ends connected to the aft part of the longitudinal members to allow rotation about a vertical axis and a transverse axis, but not the longitudinal axis. A detailed embodiment is disclosed. | 11-18-2010 |
