Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are operable to display content related to an application using side display screens installed on a multi-display mobile device. As such, embodiments of the present invention can make use of the display surface areas associated with side display screens to render content (e.g., notifications associated with an application) in a power efficient manner. Also, by using separate display buffers for side display screens, embodiments of the present invention can independently render content while other components of the mobile device (e.g., the main display screen) operate within low power mode or “sleep state.” As such, by using side display screen in this fashion, embodiments of the present invention can efficiently utilize the power and computational resources of the mobile device.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for providing a user-interface are disclosed. In one aspect, a head-mounted-device system includes a processor data storage comprising user-interface logic executable by the at least one processor to receive data corresponding to first position of a head-mounted display (HMD) and responsively cause the HMD to display a user-interface comprising a view region, at least one content region located above the view region, and a history region located below the view region. The user-interface logic is further executable to receive data corresponding to an left or right movement of the HMD and responsively cause the HMD to move the field of view such that the at least one content region becomes more visible, for example, scrolling an item in a user interface. The scrolling may have a non-linear relationship with the head movement speed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device, comprising a driver that causes first through third infrared LEDs to emit light sequentially at prescribed times; an infrared light sensor that receives infrared light that is emitted by the first through the third infrared LEDs and reflected by a reflecting object, and generates photoelectric currents at levels corresponding to the intensity of the received infrared light; an amplifier that generates first through third infrared light information, on the basis of the photoelectric current that is generated by the infrared light sensor, and which denote the intensity of the infrared light; an A/D converter; and a linear/logarithmic converter apparatus. It is thus possible to sense the movement of the reflecting object on the basis of the first through the third infrared light information.

Abstract:
In embodiments of a touch-scrolling pad for computer input devices, a touch sensor strip detects touch contacts on a touch-scrolling pad that is implemented for vertical scrolling input and horizontal scrolling input. A selectable button positioned proximate below the touch sensor strip can be selected by an actuation depress input to the touch-scrolling pad. The touch-scrolling pad includes programmed instructions in firmware implemented to determine that a touch contact is one of a vertical scrolling input, a horizontal scrolling input, or the actuation depress input to actuate the selectable button. The touch-scrolling pad also includes a haptic system that generates haptic feedback responsive to either of the vertical scrolling input or the horizontal scrolling input.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric device comprises at least one element comprising at least one sheet of piezoelectric material. The element is mounted on a circuit board comprising at least one conductive layer having at least one opening. The element is located on the opening and supported by edges of the opening in such a manner that the opening extends laterally beyond the area of the sheet of piezoelectric material. The element is sandwiched between an overlay and the circuit board in such a manner that vibrations of the sheet of piezoelectric material are sufficient to cause vibration of the overlay.
Abstract:
A method of drawing a three-dimensional (3D) object on a user terminal is provided. The method includes displaying a 3D space including a two-dimensional (2D) or 3D object on the user terminal, obtaining vector information regarding a depthwise direction in the 3D space based on a user's gesture performed across a body of an electronic pen, and performing a 3D drawing function on the 2D or 3D object, based on the vector information.
Abstract:

The mobile information terminal is configured to include: a touch panel 20 that detects a touch operation on a vertically long display screen 21 provided on the front surface 13 of a thin housing 10; a slide sensor 4 that is provided on the left lateral surface 11 or right lateral surface 12 of the thin housing 10 and detects a sliding operation in the longer direction of the display screen 21; and drawing area control means adapted to, within the display screen 21, form a main drawing area 23b and a sub drawing area 23a, which are both touch operable, arranging the main drawing area 23b and the sub drawing area 23a in the longer direction, and on the basis of the sliding operation, interchange the order of the arrangement.
Abstract:
A method of manipulating a three-dimensional (3D) virtual objects at a wireless device is disclosed and includes detecting a press on a 3D sensor array and moving the 3D virtual object in response to the press. Further, the method includes detecting a release of the press on the 3D sensor array and stopping the 3D virtual object.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for annotating objects and/or actions are provided. An example method includes receiving a selection of a content object via an interface of a wearable computing device. The wearable computing device may include a head-mounted display (HMD). The method may also include, but is not limited to, displaying the selected content object on the HMD. Additionally, the method may include obtaining facial-muscle information while the content object is being displayed on the HMD. A facial expression may also be determined based on the facial-muscle information. According to the method, the content object may be associated with an annotation comprising an indication of the facial expression.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a touch event on a side-mounted touchpad of a computing device during display of a current user interface of an application executing on the computing device. The application includes a navigation hierarchy with a home user-interface layer, multiple sub user-interface layers, and multiple user-interface branches. The method includes determining a particular sub user-interface layer and user-interface branch that the current user interface corresponds to and determining a type of the touch event. When the type of the touch event is a forward touch event and there is a next sub user-interface layer in the particular user-interface branch of the current user interface, the method navigates to the next user-interface layer in the particular user-interface branch of the current user interface.
