| 20100165217 | REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE PRESENTATION OF BROADCAST PROGRAMMING - A TV is controlled by a set top box to receive broadcast programming. The set top box includes a processor for causing a selected program to be provided to and displayed on the TV. The set top box is controlled by an external remote control device. The remote control device is able to generate menus detailing programs and other options available and to display those options locally on the remote control device. Therefore, a program presented by the TV is uninterrupted whilst the user considers an electronic program guide displayed on the remote control device. Once the user has made the final choice of a new program to view, a command is issued to the set top box so that the change is made. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20080267521 | MOTION AND IMAGE QUALITY MONITOR - A method, apparatus and computer program product for monitoring the motion and/or image quality associated with a captured image are provided. Various actions may be taken in response to the detected motion and corresponding image quality associated with a captured image. In particular, the motion and image quality monitor may, for example, only allow captured images to be used in conjunction with an image matching application, such as a mobile visual search application, when the image features of the captured image have stabilized (i.e., little to no motion is detected between consecutive frames of the captured image). The detected changes in motion and/or image quality may further be used for energy saving purposes, for example, by switching on or off various applications and/or components operating on the mobile device depending upon the amount of motion detected and/or the quality of the image captured. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090083275 | Method, Apparatus and Computer Program Product for Performing a Visual Search Using Grid-Based Feature Organization - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for visually searching feature sets that are organized in a grid-like manner. As such, a feature set associated with a location-based grid area may be received. The location-based grid area may also be associated with the location of a device. After receiving query image features, a visual search may be performed by comparing the query image features with the feature set. The search results are then returned. By conducting the visual search within a feature set that is selected based upon the location of the device, the efficiency of the search can be enhanced and the search may potentially be performed by the device, such as a mobile device, itself. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090094289 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MULTIPLE BUFFERING FOR SEARCH APPLICATION - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for facilitating a fast and efficient search. The apparatus may include a processor configured to receive and buffer a dataset based on the current location of a user, in a first buffer; receive and buffer another dataset based on the current location of the user and the direction of movement of the user, in a second buffer; search the dataset, based on the current location of the user, to identify an object from an image; and update buffers based on a change in location of the user, wherein updating buffers includes associating the second buffer with a current location and receive and buffer a dataset, based on the current location of the user and the direction of movement of the user, in the first buffer. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20100325154 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A VIRTUAL IMAGE WORLD - An approach is provided for the filtering user-generated image recognition content. An object data and associated location information are received. The object data represents an image of a physical object within a physical environment. Storage is initiated of the received object data and location information. The received object data is associated with a virtual environment corresponding to the physical environment. Approval is initiated of the received object data for inclusion in a filtered virtual environment. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20110063117 | PUMP PRESSURE CONTROL - A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining pressure provided by a pump element of a topical negative pressure (TNP) system. The method includes the steps of determining a current pressure provided by a pump element of a TNP system, comparing the determined pressure with a predetermined pressure and selecting a target pressure intermediate the current and predetermined pressure and increasing or decreasing pump speed to respectively increase or decrease pressure until the current pressure matches the target pressure. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20110008179 | PRESSURE CONTROL - A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining pressure provided by a pump of a topical negative pressure (TNP) system. The method includes the steps of determining a value associated with a measured pressure, determining a difference between the measured pressure value and a predetermined desired value and increasing or decreasing a speed of pumping of the pump responsive the to difference. | 01-13-2011 |
