摘要:
Methods and devices (1,3) for determining the position of an electronic device (3), such as an accessory device, which obtains global positioning system signals from a satellite (4) based global positioning system. A terminal (1), such as a portable communication device, is connected to a network (2) having access to global positioning system assistance data, which is transferred to the electronic device (3) for performing a position calculation based on the global positioning system signals and the global positioning system assistance data.

GPS accessories for host devices include a GPS Radio Frequency (RF) receiver that receives GPS signals over a GPS radio frequency and obtains raw GPS data from the GPS signals. A wireless RF transmitter wirelessly transmits the raw GPS data to a host device over a non-GPS radio frequency. The wireless RF transmitter may include an ad hoc short range wireless network transmitter, such as a Bluetooth transmitter.

A method for providing access to broadcast media content includes determining positioning information corresponding to a current location of a mobile terminal. Based on the determined positioning information, a channel list including available broadcast media content channel information for the current location of the mobile terminal is automatically retrieved. Related systems and devices are also discussed.
摘要:
Mobile terminals, methods and computer program products are provided for scanning and calibrating a map using a mobile terminal. A map is scanned into the mobile terminal using the mobile terminal as a scanner. Multiple reference coordinates associated with locations on the scanned map are received at the mobile terminal from a global positioning system (GPS) associated with the mobile terminal. The scanned map is calibrated in the mobile terminal based on the received multiple reference coordinates.

The invention relates to a hotspot location database system and a method for creating, maintaining and updating such a system. A hotspot location database (6) is created locally in a mobile terminal (1). The mobile terminal is adapted to monitor locations of available hotspots and store information in its local database (6). The mobile terminal is also adapted to monitor the presence of other mobile terminals (9) using a local connectivity network, in order to share information with the other mobile terminals by exchanging information for update of their local databases. The invention also relates to such a mobile terminal for use in the system.

A portable electronic device, e.g., a mobile communications terminal, PDA or other handheld device, includes a GPS receiver and is configured to conduct non-GPS activities. The GPS receiver is transitioned out of a sleep state to attempt to acquire at least one GPS satellite signal responsive to a selected non-GPS activity of the device. For example, the GPS receiver may be transitioned out of the sleep state to attempt to acquire at least one GPS satellite signal responsive to a first non-GPS activity, and may be left in the sleep state notwithstanding occurrence of a second non-GPS activity. The first non-GPS activity may, for example, be associated with positioning of the device in a more conducive to reception of GPS satellite signals than the second non-GPS activity. For example, the first non-GPS activity may comprise an internet browsing activity, a video presentation activity, a gaming activity and/or a non-hands-free telephony activity.
摘要:
An apparatus and method generate a three-dimensional image by determining, using a light-field camera, a depth map corresponding to an environment. The depth map represents how light falls in the environment. The method also includes determining a parallax occlusion map of the environment and creating, using the depth map and the parallax occlusion map, a three-dimensional image representing the environment. In some embodiments, the method includes taking a first picture of the environment with a first flash intensity and a second picture of the environment with a greater second flash, determining differences between the first picture of the environment and the second picture of the environment, determining one or more properties of the environment based at least in part on the determined differences and dynamically re-lighting the three-dimensional image using the depth map, the parallax occlusion map, and one or more of the determined properties of the environment.
摘要:
The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for controlling a focus operation for an image-capturing device. An exemplary method includes receiving a focus instruction, wherein the focus instruction describes an object of focus; sending first context data to an external system; in response to sending first context data to the external system, receiving second context data from the external system, wherein the second context data comprises data associated with the object of focus; and identifying the object of focus based on the received second context data; and determining a focus distance based on the identified object.
