Abstract:
A database of user preferences for a high quality picture is maintained. Preferences may be generated over time by tracking attributes of pictures that the user has deleted or failed to select for storage. When the camera is in preview mode, the camera may automatically capture image data for one or more pictures as a background operation. When the user commands the taking of a picture, the camera will capture image data for a user photo. A comparison may be made to determine which one of the automatically taken picture or the user photo has a higher correlation to user preferences for a quality photo. If the user photo has higher correlation, it may be retained in the customary manner for digital pictures. If the automatically taken photo has higher correlation, the user may be given the option to select the user photo or the automatically taken photo for retention.
Abstract:
An electronic device (10) provides a user with a system for enhancing textual messages by appending media content associated with the textual message. The electronic device includes a display (14) for displaying text input for a message undergoing composition by a user of the electronic device and a control circuit (30). The control circuit is configured to: receive the text input from the user; analyze the text input from the user; identify one or more items of audiovisual content having a content related to the text input; drive display of a selectable representation of each of the items of audiovisual content on the display; and construct a message that includes the text input and a user selected one of the items of audiovisual content.
Abstract:
A computer-readable medium may include one or more instructions for providing sub-images, one or more instructions for receiving selection of a plurality of sub-images, one or more instructions for constructing a first image, the first image being a unified image including the selected plurality of sub-images, one or more instructions for comparing at the selected plurality of sub-images with previously selected sub-images, and one or more instructions for providing access to at least one of a device, a service, or a function when the selected plurality of sub-images match the previously selected sub-images.
Abstract:
A portable electronic equipment comprises a first sensor to record media and at least one second sensor to capture data representing a physical condition of a user of the portable electronic equipment, the at least one second sensor being configured to capture the data in response to the first sensor recording the media. A processing device is interfaced with the at least one second sensor. The processing device is configured to retrieve the data captured by the at least one second sensor, to generate metadata for the recorded media based on the data, the metadata being indicative of the physical condition, and to cause the metadata to be stored in association with the recorded media.

Abstract:
A theme creator includes an input unit for selecting and/or activating the theme creator, and a control unit configured to control the theme creator. The control unit is configured to receive image data transmitted by the camera when the theme creator has been selected and/or activated, and to change an appearance of the desktop and/or stand-by image depending on the image data from the camera and/or user input. A user may create his/her own theme such that a large number of preset themes and/or the use of an external theme editor could be avoided.
Abstract:
In a method for sharing multimedia application data by a plurality of communication devices, at least two communication devices establish a short-rang wireless communication link to a data distribution device. At least one of the communication devices informs the data distribution device of the data that are offered for sharing, and these data are presented by the data distribution device on a display. A user of one of the communication devices being connected to the data distribution device selects and requests data that he wants to download to a communication device, and the requested data are then transmitted to the communication device via the data distribution device.
Abstract:
A device (100) includes an image generation unit (720) configured to generate an image of a user interface (UI) and a UI projector (105) configured to project the image in a projection area adjacent to the device to generate a projected UI. The device (100) further includes a camera (125) configured to generate an image of the projection area and an image processing unit (700) configured to process the generated image to identify an occluding object in the projection area. The device (100) also includes a UI control unit (710) configured to adapt the projected UI based on identification of an occluding object in the projection area.
Abstract:
A method may include receiving input associated with constructing a first image; generating the first image based on the input; comparing the first image with a second image; and providing access to at least one of a device, a service, or a function when the first image matches the second image.
