A user interface concept for wireless ad hoc content sharing between portable devices referred to as portable content containers (PCCs). A user-centered design approach is provided enabling users to share content such as music and photos. A variety of physical ways of establishing a secure connections between the PCC devices is provided. In addition, a clear view on the location of the content stored on the devices, and a drag & drop interface is provided. Use is made of separate spaces, each containing the corresponding content and includes a "shared" space such that all connected users may transfer content to and from to their own personal devices. The use of a drag & drop interface in combination with the subdivision of the screen into several spaces, provided the user with a clear view on the content location. The close proximity of users is assumed and enhances social interaction.

A method for displaying a pictorial item (200) corresponding to an audio content item is provided. The method including: identifying one or more characteristics of the audio content item; searching a remote network (114) for the corresponding pictorial item (200) based on the identified one or more characteristics; retrieving the corresponding pictorial item from the remote network; and displaying the pictorial item corresponding to the audio content item (104).

The invention relates to a user interface (100) comprising a touchable interaction surface (S) with an array (120) of actuators for providing haptic feedback. Moreover, the user interface comprises a controller (130) for controlling actuators in a coordinated manner such that they provide a directional haptic sensation. By means of this directional haptic sensation, a user touching the interaction surface (S) can be provided with additional information, for example about a given location on the interaction surface (S), or with a haptic feedback that corresponds to the movement of an image displayed on the interaction surface (S).

The invention provides a user interaction system (100) and a method of controlling a lighting system. The user interaction system (100) comprises a display (106), a means for receiving a location indication (102), a location identification means (104) and an overlay image creator (108). The display (106) displays a subarea image and an overlay image. The subarea image is an image of a specific subarea of the environment. The location identification means (104) detects which specific location in the environment is indicated by the location indication. The overlay image creator (108) generates the overlay image. The overlay image comprises information related to a lighting effect which is obtainable by the lighting system at the specific location. The obtainable effect is an effect of at least two controllable light sources of the lighting system. The information which is related to the obtainable lighting effect is based on a lighting system model (110) which represents effects that are obtainable in the environment by controllable light sources of the lighting system.
摘要:
Systems, networks, devices and methods for developing, implementing, and sharing lighting schemata between controllable lighting networks are disclosed. A network (101, 601, 701, 801, 808) in accordance with the disclosure stores lighting schemata developed for the network in a remote data store (802). Other networks (301) access the remote data store to select existing schemata for implementation. Systems, networks, devices, and methods for sharing user preferences between controllable lighting networks are also disclosed. Networks according to the disclosure may access a shared remote data store (112) to determine a user?s preferences upon the detection, by sensors in the network, of the presence of the user. As such, individual lighting networks may make use of known user preferences or learned behaviors and environmental conditions to more efficiently adapt themselves to such behavior, preferences, or conditions.
摘要:
A method and system are disclosed for determining the topic of a conversation and obtaining and presenting related content. The disclosed system provides a 'creative inspirator' in an ongoing conversation. The system extracts keywords from the conversation and utilizes the keywords to determine the topic(s) being discussed. The disclosed system then conducts searches to obtain supplemental content based on the topic(s) of the conversation. The content can be presented to the participants in the conversation to supplement their discussion. A method is also disclosed for determining the topic of a text document including transcripts of audio tracks, newspaper articles, and journal papers.
摘要:
A display including: a display surface (108, 300) for displaying content to a user; a computer system (110) for supplying the content to the display surface (108, 300) for display in a content window (112, 306) on the display surface (108, 300); and a recognition system (128) for recognizing a gesture of a user and defining at least one of a size, location, and content of the content window (112, 306) on the display surface (108, 300) based on the recognized gesture. The display can be a display mirror (108) for reflecting an image of the user at least when the content is not being displayed. Furthermore, the gesture can be a hand gesture of the user.
