摘要:
A touchpad based on polar coordinates, in which the angular position and the radial position are transformed into a one-dimensional signal. The progressiveness of the relation between the angular position and the one-dimensional signal is a function of the radial position. The touchpad may have two discrete curved sections with different input sensitivity. The touchpad may also be provided with a central select key.

A mobile electronic device that can be used in at least two different orientations. The mobile electronic device comprises a processor, an orientation sensor, and at least two competing input devices. The processor is configured to enable and disable the competing input devices in accordance with the orientation of the mobile electronic device as detected by the orientation sensor. Alternatively, the processor is configured to assign different control functions to the competing input devices and possibly to interchange these control functions in response to a signal from the orientation sensor. The device may have a scrollbar that is an integral part of a keypad. The device may have a scrollbar that is wrapped around a corner of the device. The device may have two scrollbars that are arranged transversely to one another with the longitudinal extremity of the touch surface one of the scrollbars connecting to the touch surface of the other scrollbar.
摘要:
A mobile communication terminal having a phonebook and a method of managing phonebook entries having a processor and a memory having at least one phonebook entry and at least one metadata entry stored therein. The method allows the user to sort the phonebook entries in accordance with the metadata associated with the therewith. The phonebook entries can be shown/listed in a sorted order. The terminal may update the metadata via the mobile network. The metadata may include time zone information and the terminal may show time zone information together with content detail information on a display of the terminal.

A system enables a user to communicate with another person via an external device, e.g. an audio, video, display interface. The external device includes a short-range transceiver, a memory, and an output interface. The mobile device includes two network transceivers, typically a cellular transceiver and a short-range transceiver, typically Bluetooth. In operation, the user prepares and stores a list of external devices with assigned IDs. The user further stores a list of phone numbers (phone book information) of contacts on the cellular network associated with the external devices for delivery of messages to the selected external device(s). The mobile device scans the network, and detects messages from associated contact source(s). The messages are stored by the ID. When the mobile device is within the coverage area of the external device, the mobile device transmits the message(s). The external device interprets the message for output to the intended recipient.
摘要:
A print log is provided that stores first print jobs that have been used for printing and that include first settings. A print queue is provided that stores second print jobs that have not been used for printing and that include second settings. First settings from a selected print job in the print log are used as corresponding second settings for anew print job. The new print job is placed in the print queue to be used in response to a printer corresponding to the new print job being available. Another method is disclosed that provides a print log storing print jobs that have been used for printing. A print queue stores print jobs to be used for printing. A new print job is formed from a selected print job in the print log. The new print job is placed in the print queue and is printed.
摘要:
The operation of a mobile electronic device is controlled at least partially in accordance with operating characteristics adopted while the phone is at a first location. The operation of a mobile electronic device is controlled at least partially in accordance with a theme that defines how an electronic device responds to user input.
摘要:
A mobile terminal having a multi-medial user interface, a controller and a memory is presented. The memory is adapted to store a plurality of profiles, each profile defining a respective behavior pattern of the multi-medial user interface and being definable by a user of the mobile terminal. The controller is adapted to provide a first control parameter representative of a desired profile as selected by the user. The controller is also adapted to provide a second control parameter representative of a contextual status of the mobile terminal. The controller is adapted to modify a behavior pattern of the multi-medial user interface depending on the first and second control parameters.
摘要:
A battery-powered device comprising: a memory storing software essential to the provision of normal functions of the device; a first processing section (16) comprising a data processor capable of executing the software, the device being capable of operating the first processing section in a normal mode in which it can execute the software and a low power mode; a second processing section (5) having a clock (6) for maintaining a time, and being capable of triggering behaviour of the device in response to the time of the clock preceding a user-set time by a pre-set advance interval; the device being configured to, in response to triggering by the second processing section when the first processing section is in the low power mode, cause the first processing section to enter the normal mode and to load the software.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for transferring a data file between a sending device and a receiving user equipment. The method comprises assessing, based on information relating to a transfer method and/or receiving user equipment, if the data file is to be modified. In response to finding that the data file is to be modified, the data file is modified, based on said information, into a form suitable for transferring. The data file is transferred from the sending device to the receiving user equipment. In an embodiment, the data file to be transferred is an image file and the sending device is a digital camera. The image file may be re-sized and further re-scaled for transferring.
