    摘要: A gaming device, method, and computer program product customize an electronic game using features of an image file, such as may be created by a digital camera or similar device. A gaming device comprises a processor capable of receiving an image file, extracting at least one feature from the received image file, and modifying the electronic game based on the extracted feature. The processor may modify the electronic game by adding a game object corresponding to the extracted feature. Alternatively, the processor may modify the electronic game by modifying a game object based on the extracted feature. The image file may be created by the gaming device or may be received from an external device. The extracted feature may be selected from the group comprising shape, size, location, orientation, color, and contrast. The processor may be further capable of preprocessing the image file.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an operation method for executing games on mobile camera enabled terminal devices and to devices capable of executing the method. The method is based on hiding augmented reality messages in pictures by taking an image of an object, providing symbols; linking the symbols to the image, such that the symbols are not visible when displaying the image, and sending the image and the linked invisible symbols via a wireless connection as a first image to a mobile camera terminal device. The invention also provides a second component to re-visualize the hidden message by receiving the first image, taking a second image with a camera of the mobile camera terminal device, displaying the second image, comparing the first and second images to determine a matching measure, and visibly displaying the linked invisible symbols on the display, if the comparison fulfills at least one predetermined condition.

    摘要: An approach is provided for thematically modifying location and related information. A location modification platform determines location information of a device associated with a first user. The location modification platform then modifies the location information to indicate a location other than an actual location of the device according to a predetermined theme and causes, at least in part, actions that result in presentation of the modified location information to a second user.

    摘要: An apparatus, method, computer program product, network entity and system are provided for providing a personalized comic strip, or cartoon. In particular, a mobile device collects information relating to an individual operating the mobile device (i.e., user-related information) from various sources associated with the mobile device. The mobile device may then transmit at least a subset of the information collected to a Personalized Comics Delivery Server, which uses the user-related information received to select, from a plurality of existing comic strips accessible by the server, a comic strip that seems appropriate for the user given his or her current situation. The Personalized Comics Delivery Server transmits the selected comic strip to the mobile device which, before displaying the comic strip to the user, modifies one or more parameters of the comic strip in order to further personalize it.
