摘要:
Various arrangements for selecting a function to be executed on a mobile device are presented. A processor may receive proximity data that indicates the mobile device is proximate to a user. The processor may receive acceleration data that indicates a direction of acceleration. In response to receiving the proximity data indicating that the mobile device is proximate to the user, the processor may identify a position of the mobile device in relation to the user using the acceleration data. In response to identifying the position of the mobile device in relation to the user using the acceleration data, the processor may select a function to be executed.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for identifying and determining quantity data for consumable items from a plurality of weight sensing devices. A consumption metric for the consumable items is determined based on the identification and quantity data. Consumption-related information is provided based on the consumption metric. Consumption-related information may be used for a number of purposes, including for providing aggregate consumption information to suppliers, and health advice and recipes to users, for example.

In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving a user input at a first display surface of an electronic device to move a graphical user interface element displayed at the first display surface. The electronic device includes a second display surface separated from the first display surface by a gap. The method also includes determining that at least a portion of the graphical user interface element is to be moved beyond an edge of the first display surface into the gap such that the at least a portion of the graphical user element will not be displayed at the first display surface. The method further includes displaying the at least a portion of the graphical user interface element at the second display surface based on a location and a direction of movement of the graphical user interface element at the first display surface.

Methods and systems for passing information using a mobile client are disclosed. For example, a method for a mobile client may include initiating a transaction between the mobile client and a transaction host using a near field communication (NFC) link, and receiving on the mobile client, information relating to the transaction using the NFC link.

In a particular embodiment, a method includes detecting a hardware configuration change at an electronic device. The electronic device includes at least a first panel having a first display surface and a second panel having a second display surface. An effective screen size or a screen resolution corresponding to a viewing area that includes the first display surface and the second display surface is modified in response to the hardware configuration change. The method also includes sending at least one parameter associated with or based on the modified effective screen size or the modified screen resolution to a server.
摘要:
A method of providing three-dimensional (3D) sound at a wireless device is disclosed and may include detecting movement of a 3D virtual object within a display, determining a direction of the movement of the 3D virtual object, and transmitting sound from a 3D sound system that tracks the direction of the movement of the 3D virtual object. The method may further include selectively altering a phase of the sound as the 3D virtual object moves, selectively altering a volume of the sound as the 3D virtual object moves, selective altering a pitch of the sound as the 3D virtual object moves, selectively altering a tone of the sound as the 3D virtual object moves, or a combination thereof.

摘要:
Dynamic force feedback is provided in a device to alert a user about a message received on the device from a remote user and to convey content, context, or a type of the message. Producing dynamic force feedback may include activating a motion induction device, which accelerates and decelerates a mass to create tapping within the device. The amplitude and frequency of the tapping may be configured to produce sequences of taps to alert the user about different types, contexts, or content of received messages. Additionally, multiple motion induction devices may be included in a device to produce dynamic force feedback along multiple dimensions. Multiple dimension dynamic force feedback may be used in providing geographical directions to a user.

Methods and systems for determining the suitability of information to be received by a mobile client are disclosed. For example, an exemplary method may include receiving on the mobile client, information relating to a transaction between the mobile client and a transaction host, using a near-field-communication (NFC) link, updating a user profile on the mobile client based on the received transaction information, and performing at least one of receiving, selecting and displaying one or more targeted content messages on the mobile client based upon the updated user profile.
摘要:
A method of determining a communications contact relevance for a user includes: analyzing stored contact information of a plurality of contacts with which the user can at least one of receive information from or transmit information to; analyzing context information relevant to likelihoods of imminent communication by the user with the contacts, the context information including information different from ones of the contacts with which the user most recently communicated, the context information further including present user context information and at least one of present context or historical context associated with each of the contacts, respectively; and determining the likelihoods of imminent communication between the user and the contacts based on the context information.
