An approach is provided for custom zooming of geographic representation. A custom zooming application determines an input specifying a level of zoom for rendering a geographic representation presented at a device, the geographic representation including a plurality of objects. The custom zooming application determines respective degrees of relevance of the plurality of objects based, at least in part, on the device, a user of the device, related context information, or a combination thereof. The custom zooming application determines to render one or more of the plurality of objects with at least one different level of visibility with respect to other ones of the plurality of objects based, at least in part, on the respective degrees of relevance, the level of zoom, or a combination thereof.

An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for spatially indicating notifications to a user via display regions that are arranged (e.g., perimeterally) about the display of an apparatus. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory including computer program code which provide for the presentation, in a first display region, of an indication of a notification associated with a first application and provide for the presentation, in a second display region, of a non-pictorial indication of a notification associated with a second application. The first and second display regions may, for example, be arranged along the edges of a polygonal display. As such, a user may be able to quickly discern which application is responsible for a particular notification, and the user's view of an underlying application provided on the display may not be obscured or diminished as a result of the issuance of the notification.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing a virtual machine with dynamic direct assignment of a physical hardware resource. A method may include providing a virtual machine with a directly assigned physical hardware resource and an emulated hardware resource corresponding to the directly assigned physical hardware resource. The method may further include causing the virtual machine to hot-swap from using the directly assigned physical hardware resource to using the emulated hardware resource. The method may additionally include, subsequent to causing the virtual machine to hot-swap to using the emulated hardware resource, causing the directly assigned physical hardware resource to be hot-removed from the virtual machine Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

Provided herein is a technique by which the display of an electronic reading device may be enhanced. An image of a first page may be displayed at a predefined contrast and an image of a second page may be displayed at less than the predefined contrast in an underlying relationship to the image of the first page. The first page and the second page may be consecutive pages in a page order. The page order may mimic a page order of a print copy. In response to the second page being a facing page to the first page in the print copy, the image of the second page may appear forward facing. In response to the second page appearing on the opposite side of the first page in the print copy, the image of the second page may be presented as a mirror image of the second page.
摘要:
An improved technique provides location detection using wireless net-works such as Wi-Fi networks in a flexible, configurable manner that allows for variations in the environment and tracks target movement accurately in such an environment. Zones of different relative sizes and sensitivities can be defined, so as to vary the degree of resolution for different parts of the area being detected. Mechanisms are provided to take into account fluctuations in signal strength, and reduce the incidence of false positives resulting from incorrectly detecting zone or location changes due to fluctuations of signal strength. In addition, detection time can be configured for zone entry and/or exit. Self-adjustment based on heuristic analysis can also be implemented. Data can be sent or received based on the physical location as determined by the zone.
