A method comprising receiving an input of a character from a virtual keyboard (320) rendered on a display, and displaying the input character left of a cursor (340) located within a ticker (350) rendered on the display proximate to the virtual keyboard (320), wherein the cursor (340) has a set position located towards a centre of the ticker (350).
摘要:
A white board function, and an associated method, for a wireless, or other, device. Entry of graphical and audio media pursuant to the white board function is detected and correlated. A search is performed to locate substitute graphical media amenable for substitution for the entered graphical media. If located, the substitute graphical media is substituted for the entered graphical media.

According to some embodiments, a mobile electronic device is provided with a linkage mechanism that couples first and second members of the device such that the first and second members may be moved between a first position, a second position and a third position. The second member of the device includes a body and an input member. The input member includes an input device and is coupled to the body by a lateral displacement mechanism that allows the input member to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The linkage mechanism and the lateral displacement mechanism may thereby provide at least three operating configurations for the device. An assembly for use with an electronic device is also provided. The assembly may be attachable to, and possibly detachable from, the device.

A handheld electronic device includes a housing, a flexible display associated with the housing, and an input portion linked to the flexible display. The input portion is movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. The flexible display has a first viewing area when the input portion is in the first position and a second viewing area when the input portion is in the second position. The second viewing area is smaller than the first viewing area.
摘要:
A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with computing device on which the method is implemented. In the method a modified base image is overlaid with a modified overlay image on a display and at least one of the modified base image and modified overlay image is moved by the user. In addition to the moving, a change in orientation of at least one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image is required. Positive authentication is indicated in response to the base image reference point on the modified base image being aligned with the overlay image reference point on the modified overlay image and the change in orientation matching a pre-selected orientation criterion.
摘要:
A portable electronic device that has a touch-sensitive display with one or more soft keys. Each soft key has associated thereto a main function with a default input parameter and one or more sub-functions. Each sub-function is an instance of the main function but with a modified input parameter. Each sub-function can be launched by performing two or more actions on the touch-sensitive display. One of the action is to be performed on the soft key itself. The function and the sub-function serve to process displayed content.
摘要:
A method and system are provided for controlling the display (110) of a mobile device by: capturing an image using a camera device (123) of the mobile device, the camera device being directed in a same direction as a display of the mobile device, the image comprising one or more subjects (e.g. users or other humans seen in the image); determining a point of regard in the image for at least one of the one or more subjects, the point of regard being indicative of an area on the display at which a gaze of the corresponding subject is directed; determining, based on the point of regard, an instruction for controlling the display; and controlling the display according to the instruction, wherein controlling the display includes reducing visibility of at least one portion of what is displayed on the display.
