20130002604 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD - The invention relates to a user interaction arrangement for interaction with a user using a pointing object. The arrangement comprises: a detector for detecting position of said object, a controller for computing a distance of said object to a surface of a display, and an image generating part for generating an image on said surface of display. The controller is further configured to compute a position on said surface based on said position and distance of said object, and the arrangement further comprises an image generating part configured to generate a dynamic guiding image on said surface of display based on said position and distance. | 01-03-2013 |
20130094666 | Distance-Based Rendering of Media Files - A rendering device is configured to dynamically vary how audio and visual information is rendered by a rendering device responsive to changes in distance between the rendering device and a mobile device carried by a user. As the user moves about, the distance between the rendering device and the mobile device carried by the user will vary. As the distance between the mobile device and the rendering device changes, the rendering system can dynamically adapt how the audio and visual information is rendered. For example, the rendering device can increase or decrease the volume of an audio output, depending on changes in the distance. Also, the rendering device can change how visual information is rendered on a display responsive to changes in distance. In some embodiments, when the distance between the mobile device and rendering device exceeds a predetermined distance, the audio and/or visual information may be sent to the mobile device. | 04-18-2013 |
20140053108 | LOCATION AND TIME BASED UNLOCKED ACTION - A mobile electronic device is provided that comprises a display unit and a control unit configured to display at least a first and a second keylock icon associated with a unlock function on the mobile electronic device. The control unit may be configured to activate the display unit when unlocking the mobile electronic device and presenting a first start page in response to the first keylock icon being selected and a second start page in response to the second keylock icon being selected. | 02-20-2014 |
20140085227 | DISPLAY AND METHOD IN AN ELECTRIC DEVICE - The present invention relates to display in an electrical device and a method of enhancing interaction with user. The display comprises: a controller, a content displaying surface, a touch sensitive portion comprising one or several touch sensors, for providing the controller with information about presence of a pointing object close to the surface, a motion sensor for providing motion of the display. The controller is configured to control content output on the displaying surface and adjust the content output with respect to information from the touch sensor and the motion senor. | 03-27-2014 |
20140092043 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DYNAMIC POSITIONING OF USER INTERFACE ELEMENT - An electronic device includes a display and a touch input disposed over the display. The touch input receives touch inputs from a user and detects location of the user's hand relative to the display including location of the user's hand in front of and not touching the touch input. A controller controls the display of content, including determining an obstructed area of the display that is obstructed from viewing by the user's hand as indicated by the detection made by the touch input; determining that a default location for the display of a new graphical user interface (GUI) element that should be added to the display overlaps with the obstructed area by at least a predetermined amount, and changing a manner in which the new GUI element is displayed so that the new GUI element is not obstructed by the user's hand. | 04-03-2014 |
20140212112 | CONTACT VIDEO GENERATION SYSTEM - A system and method for generation of video relevant to the subject of a contact record in a mobile device phonebook or contacts list. The method may include aggregating a plurality of data files originating from at least one data source, where at least some of the data bears a relationship to the subject of the contact record. A predefined template of instructions is provided for incorporation of data into the video, and the data is merged into a video according to the predefined template. Aggregating the plurality of data files may include searching data files accessed from a plurality of data sources using predetermined searching criteria, and retrieving the data files. Data sources may include any or all of a social media network, a social graph, a non-username, non-password protected website, and a datastore local to the mobile device. The video may be stored or rendered in real-time. | 07-31-2014 |
