Abstract:
A method of enabling disintermediation in a business model, as well as an arrangement (100) therefor. Extra information related to the business model is embedded in content such as music, which is then distributed via a third party (202) to a rendering device (204). The rendering device (204) generates an audible signal (120) that can be picked up by a receiver (220) such as a mobile phone. The receiver (220) processes the signal (120) to obtain the embedded information, which is then used in the course of the business model.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for adapting a graphical user interface. A skin is applied to the graphical user interface so as to influence its look and feel, in response to an event which does not originate from a user request to change the currently applied skin. Such an event may be a change of a category of presented information, a command received from a remote server, or a change of a user profile. Skins thus change dynamically without requiring an explicit user request.
