摘要:
A method of aligning a song with lyrics of the song which comprises the steps of aligning each lyrics fragment of a group of similar lyrics fragments (C) in the lyrics of the song with an audio fragment of a group of similar audio fragments (A4) of the song and aligning each lyrics fragment of a further group of similar lyrics fragments (V2) in the lyrics of the song with an audio fragment of a further group of similar audio fragments (A2) of the song. The method can be performed by an electronic device, possibly enabled by a computer program product. A mapping determined with the method can be transmitted and received by means of a signal and/or stored in a database.

A method of obtaining a data file (20;22) including a representation of a text, e.g. the lyrics of a song, includes obtaining multiple candidate files (13;25) containing character strings, on the basis of a search query submitted to a server system (5) arranged to permit a search of the contents of at least one server (1-3) to be performed, forming a sub-set (19;35) of the multiple candidate files, and forming the representation of the text from at least one of the candidate files in the sub-set (19;35) only. The method further includes comparing data based on at least some of the character strings in the candidate files, and forming the sub-set (19;35) from candidate files for which the data based on at least some of the character strings satisfies a measure of similarity.

The invention relates to a method of enabling a first user and a second user to obtain collaborative content. The method comprises steps of obtaining a plurality of content preference data comprising a first content preference data (121) of the first user and a second content preference data (131) of the second user, obtaining dependency data (114, 114a) indicating dependency of the first content preference data on the second content preference data, and using the plurality of content preference data for a selection of the collaborative content under control of the dependency data. The invention also relates to a collaborative device for enabling a first user and a second user to obtain collaborative content.
摘要:
A method and devices for copying an image (2) from an electronic display (1) to an electronic paper (3), wherein said electronic paper (3) is held against an area (6) of the electronic display (1) for performing a copy action and that said electronic display (1) comprises identification means for determining the borders of the area (6), a copy set button included in said devices for initiating the copy action, circuits for establishing a wireless connection between the display (1) and the paper (3) and a processor (5) for reading image information from the area (6) of the electronic display (1) for sending the image information to the electronic paper (3) for the display of the image (2) comprised in said area (6) of the electronic display (1) on the electronic paper (1).

摘要:
A pointing device (10, 50, 70, 90) is provided for use on an interactive surface (21). The pointing device (10, 50, 70, 90) comprises a grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91) and a shapeable part (12, 52, 72, 92). The grip portion can be manipulated into different positions by a user. The shapeable part (12, 52, 72, 92) has a contact surface for making contact with the interactive surface (21). The grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91) is coupled to the shapeable part (12, 52, 72, 92) in such a way that the manipulation of the grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91) causes a footprint (30, 60, 80, 100) of the contact surface on the interactive surface (21) to take a shape corresponding to the respective different positions of the grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91).
摘要:
The invention proposes a photo display system that allows photo collages from any photo collection (2), in which the collage is changing over time in such a way that the refresh time and presentation form is dependent on user choices for selection and non-selection on photo per photo basis. The display dynamics of each photo are also dependent on the characteristics of the photo relative to that of the other photos in the collection (2), including such matters as photo quality and uniqueness of picture action.
摘要:
A device for scanning a record carrier has a head for scanning a track for reading and/or writing information. A disc scheduler controls receiving requests for accessing the record carrier, the requests including streaming requests regarding real time information and auxiliary requests (44) regarding auxiliary information. The disc scheduler reduces power consumption of the device by switching the scanning means to a stand-by mode when no requests are pending and switching the scanning means to an operational mode when a request has to be executed. The auxiliary requests are executed in a processing interval (45) in combination with a selected one of the streaming requests. Hence the number of spin-ups of the record carrier is reduced.
摘要:
A system (100) has a storage medium (110) that contains a number of storage units (108). A multimedia title is stored in the storage medium (110) as a number of blocks, whereby some of the blocks are stored multiple times such that different storage units (108) contain a copy of that block. Retrieving blocks from the storage medium (110) for supply to a user is executed in cycles and the system has for some of the blocks the freedom to choose from which of the storage units (108) the block is retrieved in order to balance the load on the storage units (108). Furthermore, the system (100) is arranged to look ahead a number of cycles to determine what blocks in the near future are necessary and to retrieve these future blocks earlier if the storage units are not yet fully occupied. The additional freedom to schedule retrieval of a block at earlier moments in time provides a further mechanism to balance the load on the storage units.
