Abstract:
Methods and systems of indoor positioning of a user and delivery of information thereto are described. A system may include a communication device and a plurality of networked devices. The communication device may receive incoming information which is intended for receipt by a user, and transmit a request signal responsive to the receiving of the incoming information. Each of the networked devices may receive the request signal, and determine which one of the networked devices is situated to notify the user of the incoming information. The networked device situated to notify the user may proceed to notify the user of the incoming information.
Abstract:
A method for performing display control of an electronic device and an associated apparatus are provided, where the method may include: detecting a user activity of a user to determine a user orientation of the user with respect to a display area of the electronic device; and according to the user orientation of the user with respect to the display area, selectively adjusting at least one portion of a plurality of display contents in the display area to emulate what is viewed from a normal direction of the display area, to allow the user to view the at least one portion of the plurality of display contents without need of changing a display area orientation of the display area.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of automatically recording and porting of lifestyle data are described. A method may involve receiving recorded data from each of a first plurality of networked devices associated with a first location. The recorded data may pertain to usage of one or more of the first plurality of networked devices during a first period of time. The method may also involve storing the recorded data. The method may further involve applying the recorded data to one or more of a second plurality of networked devices associated with a second location different than the first location.

Abstract:
A method for controlling audio playing of an electronic device, an associated apparatus and an associated computer program product are provided, where the method includes: controlling a touch panel of the electronic device to be active, to allow at least one touch gesture input to be received from the touch panel while an audio player application is running on the electronic device, wherein when the at least one touch gesture input is received from the touch panel, a screen of the electronic device is kept turned off; and determining whether a specific touch gesture input of the at least one touch gesture input matches a pre-defined gesture to generate a determining result, and controlling the audio player application to execute a pre-defined command corresponding to the pre-defined gesture based on the determining result.

Abstract:
An operating method for controlling a wearable electronic device is provided. The operating method obtains an environmental variable (which is indicative of the current environment) and determines an appearance variable (e.g., a user's favorite color) based on the environment variable, by referring to information about different appearances predetermined to be suitable for different environmental conditions. The operating method also generates a control signal for adjusting the appearance of at least one non-panel region of the wearable electronic device based on the appearance variable. This causes the adjusted appearance of the non-panel region of the wearable electronic device to change based on the current environment.
