20100172080 | SCREEN ASSEMBLY - An assembly for a terminal device comprises a frame, a touch-sensitive input panel operable to detect the location of a haptic user input, a member pivotally connected to the frame to define two or more pivot axes and supporting the panel at locations distinct from the pivot axes, the member being arranged in such a way that the length of a part of the member connecting points on the two pivot axes varies in response to the haptic user input, and such that the panel is displaced relative to the frame as said length varies, and a switch operable to detect displacement of said panel relative to the frame resulting from said haptic user input. | 07-08-2010 |
20100182263 | TOUCHPAD ASSEMBLY WITH TACTILE FEEDBACK - An assembly for a terminal device, the assembly comprises a frame; a panel operable to receive a haptic user input; a member pivotally connected to the frame to define two or more pivot axes and supporting the panel at locations distinct from the pivot axes, the member being arranged in such a way that the length of a part of the member connecting points on the two pivot axes varies in response to the haptic user input, and such that the panel is displaced relative to the frame as said length varies, and a force sensor operable to detect a haptic input applied to the panel. It also includes a transducer, for instance a piezo actuator, operable to provide a tactile feedback to the user through the panel. | 07-22-2010 |
20100295801 | ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A user interface for receiving touch user input to control an electronic apparatus, wherein the user interface is arranged to detect one or more touch input commands to control the activation and/or deactivation of one or more respective physical operations and/or modes of a particular physical operation of the electronic apparatus. | 11-25-2010 |
20100331062 | Microslide - An apparatus includes a device body and a movable element slidingly engaged with the device body, the movable element being movable in a longitudinal direction between an open position and a closed position relative to the device body, wherein moving the movable element from the closed position to the open position engages an active state of the apparatus. | 12-30-2010 |
20110054647 | NETWORK SERVICE FOR AN AUDIO INTERFACE UNIT - Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit includes receiving first data and second data. The first data indicates a first set of one or more contents for presentation to a user. The second data indicates a second set of zero or more contents for presentation to the user. An audio stream is generated based on the first data and the second data. Presentation is initiated of the audio stream at a speaker in an audio device of the user. | 03-03-2011 |
20110054907 | AUDIO INTERFACE UNIT FOR SUPPORTING NETWORK SERVICES - Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit include determining, based on spoken sounds of a user of an apparatus received at a microphone of the apparatus, whether to present audio data received from a different apparatus. If it is determined to present the received audio data, then presentation of the received audio data at a speaker of the apparatus is initiated. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a data communications bus; and logic encoded in one or more tangible media configured to performs the above steps. In some embodiments, the apparatus does not include a visual display and does not include a keypad of multiple buttons. | 03-03-2011 |
20110066941 | AUDIO SERVICE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - Techniques for providing a graphical user interface for an audio channel include receiving data that indicates multiple audio contents for audio presentation at a first node. A graphical user interface is formed, which displays a time sequence of the plurality of audio contents for presentation, and which associates with each audio content one or more selectable operations on the audio content. Presentation of the graphical user interface is caused at a second node. In response to causing presentation of the graphical user interface, data is received that indicates an associated operation on audio content based on input from the second node. | 03-17-2011 |
