| 20080201649 | Visualization of information associated with applications in user interfaces - Methods, computer program products and apparatus are provided that enable a user interface or user interface element (e.g., an icon) to communicate additional contextual information for an associated application or file through attributes of the user interface or user interface element. For example, a simulated shadow of an icon or a simulated image projected on an icon can communicate contextual information for the application or file corresponding to the icon. One exemplary method includes: displaying an icon associated with an application or file; and displaying in association with the icon a simulated shadow having contextual information associated with the application or file. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080270378 | Method, Apparatus and Computer Program Product for Determining Relevance and/or Ambiguity in a Search System - An apparatus for a determining relevance and/or ambiguity in a search system may include a processing element configured for receiving visual media comprising a query, determining search results including a matching score for at least one candidate visual media with respect to the query based on ambiguity and relevance, utilizing a mapping function to provide a confidence level associated with the search results, and providing a visualization of the search results based on the confidence level. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080288880 | SPEED DEPENDENT DISPLAYING OF INFORMATION ITEMS IN A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - Electronic device with a display screen and a navigational input device places information items in a string along a path on the display screen. The user can move the string of information items along the path at a variable speed by using the navigational input means. The shape of the path is changed in relation to the speed at which the string of information items is moved along the path. At low speeds the path is substantially rectangular and follows the outline of the rectangular display screen. At higher speeds the path becomes more and more curved. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080295035 | Projection of visual elements and graphical elements in a 3D UI - A method includes determining user interface data based at least on a projection of visual element information from a projector at a first location in a three-dimensional space onto a screen object defined in the space. The screen object forms at least a portion of a user interface. The method includes determining an area of the screen object viewable by a camera positioned in a second location in the three dimensional space, and communicating the user interface data corresponding to the area to a display interface suitable for coupling to one or more displays. Apparatus and computer-readable media are also disclosed. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090042605 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND MEHTOD THEREFORE - The disclosed embodiments relate to a mobile communication terminal including a user interface and a processor. The mobile communication terminal receives real time acquired colour data, from which the processor generates a colour scheme for the user interface. The light generating means receive the colour scheme and provide a coloured light to user interface in accordance with the colour scheme. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100207871 | METHOD AND PORTABLE APPARATUS - A method for a portable apparatus includes detecting a movement of the portable apparatus, and determining that the movement is associated with a user input for retrieving a value of a status of the portable apparatus; determining a value of the status; and presenting the value to the user. Corresponding portable apparatuses and computer program product are also presented. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110126236 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING MEDIA SEGMENTS - An approach is provided for presenting media segments. A media segment manager receives an input, from a device, for specifying a plurality of segments. Each of the plurality of segments corresponds to one or more media streams and is associated with a respective duration of time. The media segment manager then causes, at least in part, presentation of the plurality of segments in a predetermined order based on the input and the respective durations of time. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110145718 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING A FIRST-PERSON WORLD VIEW OF CONTENT - An approach is provided for presenting a global view of content. A content mapping platform receives an access address of content, the content including location information. The content mapping platform then determines availability information of the content by causing, at least in part, detection of the content at the access address and causing, at least in part, presentation of the content on a user interface of a user device indicating the location information based on the availability information of the content. | 06-16-2011 |
