| 20090140699 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARGING A BATTERY - Portable, battery powered audio playback apparatuses are abundantly available. More and more of these apparatuses have built-in rechargeable batteries. It takes a long time to recharge these batteries. A user may not always need the full amount of power that can be provided by a fully charged battery, but only the amount enough for rendering and reproduction of a limited amount of multimedia data objects. With current art devices, it is difficult to determine when—after which amount of charging time—the battery has enough energy to render a selection of multimedia data objects. Therefore, the invention provides an indicator that indicates during and/or after charging that the battery comprises enough energy to render selected multimedia data objects. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090157605 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING FILES - This invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing files, in particular to a method and apparatus for managing file by using metadata. The invention provides a method of estimating the user's possible interest level in a file, and comprises the steps of: monitoring the user's actions on the file; obtaining the user's possible interest level according to the user's actions; and associating the possible interest level with the file in the form of metadata. According to the metadata, the user could quickly search for the file. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090187421 | MOBILE HEALTHCARE DATA - The present invention provides an apparatus for configuring a mobile healthcare network of monitoring a being.
