20110148796Use of a Two Finger Input on Touch Screens - A system and method for detecting at least two-finger input on a touch screen of a display such as computer, etc. includes a display screen; a sensing grid arranged for sensing touch on said display screen; a plurality of electrodes connected electrically to the sensing grid. A controller receives an output from the sensing grid, and a module identifies at least two points on the grid indicating locations of the display screen that have been touched by a user and identifies a geographic portion of the display screen to be identified based on said at least two points. As the position of the fingers are relative to the position of the screen via change in a direction of a Z-coordinate, a variable zoom can be provided by the sensing grid commensurate with different distances that the multiple fingers are sensed from the display screen.06-23-2011

20080209412Reselling Experienced Agents - The present invention relates to Assistant Software Modules (ASMs) providing services to users of e.g. a mobile phone. The ASMs are becoming learned (or skilled) by the user modifying the behaviour of the ASMs. Adding rules to a configuration file of the ASM preferably performs the modifications, but the modification may also be implemented as a neural network being trained. The invention relates in particular to management of the ASM, which management comprising uploading an ASM from a user who has modified the functionality of the ASM and downloading the ASM to a new user The uploading, downloading and terms for acquiring an ASM is regulated by rules prescribed by a manager of the ASMs.08-28-2008

20080263067Method and System for Entering and Retrieving Content from an Electronic Diary - An electronic diary that receives diary annotations, derives metadata from the diary annotations, and stores the diary annotations and the derived metadata. The electronic diary may provide user feedback in response to receiving the diary annotations. The electronic diary may render a previously stored diary annotation based on a correlation with the received diary annotation.10-23-2008
20100168878SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CREATING A SPECIFIC ATMOSPHERE BY CONTROLLING CONTRIBUTIONS OF SENSORIAL PERCEPTIBLE STIMULUS MEANS - The invention relates to the automatic creation of a specific atmosphere by controlling contributions of sensorial perceptible stimulus means loudspeaker controllable scent generator such as lights, sounds, and scents. The invention provides atmosphere settings containing data adapted for controlling the sensorial perceptible stimulus means in order to create at least one specific atmosphere, and atmosphere creation means adapted for automatically controlling the contributions of the sensorial perceptible stimulus means depending on the data contained in the atmosphere settings. Thus, a specific atmosphere may be created automatically without requiring a tedious adjusting of individual contributions of sensorial perceptible stimulus means to the specific atmosphere.07-01-2010
20100315390APPARATUS FOR OBJECT PRESENTATIONS CONTAINING AN ELECTRONIC DISPLAY SYSTEM - The invention relates to an apparatus for object presentations by means of an electronic display system, such as a shelf with an integrated lighting system for illuminating objects positioned on a surface of the shelf in order to create appealing object presentations for example in shops, museums or homes. A basic idea of this invention is to integrate a display system such as a lighting system into a presentation device for quickly and easily creating a decoration effect such as a light effect for attracting people. The invention provides in an embodiment an apparatus (12-16-2010

20090128498MULTI-LAYERED DISPLAY OF A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - A graphical user interface for a display uses 3-D sensing in order to manipulate various functions. In particular, instead of a menu being constantly on the display screen occupying space, when the finger of a user is at a certain distance from the screen, the menu then appears. By moving his/her finger in the X and/or Y direction, the user can make a selection from the displayed menu options. This method and GUI does not discriminate a certain part of the screen with less accessibility. Rather, the menu appears immediately in reaction to the user action, and the menu appears at the point of user input.05-21-2009

20080288895Touch-Down Feed-Forward in 30D Touch Interaction - A 3-D display device in which zooming is controlled based on the distance that a user's finger is from the display screen, generates a virtual drop shadow of the user's finger at the detected X/Y position of the user's finger with respect to the display screen. The virtual drop shadow represents the center of the zooming of the display image. In addition the size and darkness of the drop shadow is changed relative to the distance that the user's finger is from the display screen.11-20-2008
