20130286004 | DISPLAYING A COLLISION BETWEEN REAL AND VIRTUAL OBJECTS - Technology is described for displaying a collision between objects by an augmented reality display device system. A collision between a real object and a virtual object is identified based on three dimensional space position data of the objects. At least one effect on at least one physical property of the real object is determined based on physical properties of the real object, like a change in surface shape, and physical interaction characteristics of the collision. Simulation image data is generated and displayed simulating the effect on the real object by the augmented reality display. Virtual objects under control of different executing applications can also interact with one another in collisions. | 10-31-2013 |
20130328762 | CONTROLLING A VIRTUAL OBJECT WITH A REAL CONTROLLER DEVICE - Technology is described for controlling a virtual object displayed by a near-eye, augmented reality display with a real controller device. User input data is received from a real controller device requesting an action to be performed by the virtual object. A user perspective of the virtual object being displayed by the near-eye, augmented reality display is determined. The user input data requesting the action to be performed by the virtual object is applied based on the user perspective, and the action is displayed from the user perspective. The virtual object to be controlled by the real controller device may be identified based on user input data which may be from a natural user interface (NUI). A user selected force feedback object may also be identified, and the identification may also be based on NUI input data. | 12-12-2013 |
20140240351 | MIXED REALITY AUGMENTATION - Embodiments that relate to providing motion amplification to a virtual environment are disclosed. For example, in one disclosed embodiment a mixed reality augmentation program receives from a head-mounted display device motion data that corresponds to motion of a user in a physical environment. The program presents via the display device the virtual environment in motion in a principal direction, with the principal direction motion being amplified by a first multiplier as compared to the motion of the user in a corresponding principal direction. The program also presents the virtual environment in motion in a secondary direction, where the secondary direction motion is amplified by a second multiplier as compared to the motion of the user in a corresponding secondary direction, and the second multiplier is less than the first multiplier. | 08-28-2014 |
20140306891 | HOLOGRAPHIC OBJECT FEEDBACK - Methods for providing real-time feedback to an end user of a mobile device as they are interacting with or manipulating one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment are described. The real-time feedback may comprise visual feedback, audio feedback, and/or haptic feedback. In some embodiments, a mobile device, such as a head-mounted display device (HMD), may determine an object classification associated with a virtual object within an augmented reality environment, detect an object manipulation gesture performed by an end user of the mobile device, detect an interaction with the virtual object based on the object manipulation gesture, determine a magnitude of a virtual force associated with the interaction, and provide real-time feedback to the end user of the mobile device based on the interaction, the magnitude of the virtual force applied to the virtual object, and the object classification associated with the virtual object. | 10-16-2014 |

20100210275 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION DURING DATA TRANSFER - An approach for reducing power consumption during data transfer is provided. A period of delayed release of one or more radio resources associated with a data flow is detected. In response to the detection, radio resource reduction information is generated for a data transfer during the period, wherein the radio resource reduction information specifies a reduced allocation of one or more radio resources. Control information is generated for transmission to a mobile station, wherein the control information specifies the radio resource reduction information. | 08-19-2010 |
20110103311 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIPLEXING DIFFERENT TRAFFIC TYPES OVER A COMMON COMMUNICATION SESSION - An approach is provided for providing a reliable transmission of data associated with different traffic types over a common communication session. A temporary block is established between an apparatus and another apparatus. The apparatus multiplexes Radio Link Control (RLC) acknowledged mode data and at least one of RLC unacknowledged mode data and RLC non-persistent mode data. The apparatus then determines to transmit the multiplexed data in the temporary block flow to the other apparatus. | 05-05-2011 |

20140198639 | Channel Traffic Congestion Avoidance in a Mobile Communication System - A mobile station detects whether there is congestion in a cell by monitoring a first channel fix downlink messages and decoding the messages to see if the decoded messages indicate congestion, where the first channel is a common control channel (CCCH). For the case in which the mobile station determines from the decoded messages that there is no congestion, the mobile station initiates a random access procedure by transmitting a request message uplink on a random access channel (RACH). Else for the case in which the mobile station determines from the decoded messages that there is congestion, the mobile station waits for a waiting time before initiating a random access procedure. | 07-17-2014 |
